Somalia is a nation of 7-8 million (official estimates) and a good chunk are already out. Another good number have ditched nomadism for sedentary living which has changed the social situation and makes previously disdained occupations such as "farming" now look more favorable. Add that Somalia for such a small nation gets a Billion dollars in remittance money every year and also add that because of our "clan structure" people rarely suffer alone, they are almost always taken in by relatives if in need (one of the more positive attributes).
All these factors show why it is possible for Somalis start becoming self-reliant and not suffer in the duration as you presume.
Yes, I agree that one day, you MAY be right. As for now, you pmonk and others are, simply put, wrong. Not to mention delusional. But again, I really admire your wishful thinking, though unfortunately for you guys, Copy & Paste has it spot on. Sorry about that. But im just the messenger, so don't shoot me.
