My parents got out before the first rebel group was formed, long before it kicked it off, the writings were on the wall, it's all about how you interpret the results, you have those like my parents that seen the writings very early.
Then you had those that fled during struggle with rebels up north, then you had the last group that fled when the civil war broke out(they were lucky) but spent years in terrible conditions as a result with many of them not even making it out due to leaving it so late.
Now the events in Somalia was child's play compared to this event which has global ramifications, because there wont be those 3 stages, only those that correctly interpret the events early before anything kicks off (like my parents did early 80's) will survive this time, all airports will be shut the moment it kicks off just as it happens during coup's and the kick off won't be gradual, just like the Turkey attempted coup, it will be very sudden, then it will be too late.

The masses are domesticated heavily indoctrinated sheep with no critical thinking abilities, I used to be a developer early on turned trader, you enhance important skills you already had, like risk management through hedging, seeing the trends and making a move in the market before anyone else, meticulous strategic planning
This is all foreign and beyond the majority of the domesticated sheeple minds, but I like them because it's how you make money in the industry from the idiots, the biggest spenders are the poor and working class, they also invest the least, they have the biggest liabilities, far more then the middle class family.
In my teen years as a sales guy, I loved these people, no hassle signing up for any contract without really checking much, they all get cars on finance way beyond their means. I hated the middle class rich folks with passion, so much hassle, so much checking, I just couldn't understand why they bargained so hard with so much money while the poor/working class sign the papers, it was only later in life I realised.
You have thousands upon thousands relatively broke couples going into deep debts splashing several thousands on useless gaal type weddings to please others despite even the deen being opposed to it never mind the grave financial ramifications, that's how short sighted these people are you wasting your time trying to get through to these indoctrinated sheeple that believe anything establishment tells them.
In terms of planning, I am hedging not going all out in one or two departments, the assets have been bought and are being stored in a big storage place at home (Xamar), some of them I have leased out for profit which parents use to generate income, the land is big so currently experimenting with growing fresh produce, I am paying an expert for this that will pass on the knowledge, also like minded communities are forming which is of great importance, my parents are great at this.
The bad thing for Somalia is that it's local currency is irrelevant everyone is using dollars for transaction which is very bad, even countries like Zambia banned the use of dollar because they know the grave ramifications of it, with no local banks, expect in a currency crash Somalia to be hit very hard, the only way your going to trade goods is with hardcore assets for a long time and gruelling labour jobs as backup
Those sourcing their own food and having the assets for it (livestock, fishing) will be the greatest winners, every year so far the self sufficiency for my parents back home is getting better to the point I hardly send much anymore, so far 70/30 hedge in favour of assets, I gradually began selling off investments over the last few months, biggest just before Brexit, as these will be useless in a crash.
@ neckbeard atheist living in their parent's basement calling anyone a loser. There are people who are far more established in these countries then you ever will be who worry for their and their kids' future and looking for an exit plan. I know from your basement it is hard to see what is going on in the world and how prejudiced and hateful the average Joe has become over the past few years, but those of us who are out there and actually contributing to the system can see and feel the ire these people have every day.
