It came on last Thursday.

It was very sad.

All the Somalis wanted a ship back to Somalia, from Yemen. But guess what? They just can't afford to go back because they spent all their money on gettig to Yemen in the first place. Sad

Actually Anisa yemen is pretty crappy. All the family I have there are living off of relatives around the west. Other then driving a taxi and shit like that you can't do shit. I have a third cousing who lets just say works as a high level member of the government and he gets paid peanuts.

Somalia with the proper infrastruce and the destruction of nepotism amongst government officials would be like heaven on Earth. Or somethin close to, but you get my drift.

No-one can precisely say how poor/rich Somalia is. No data is available because there is no working government.

Anisa...both somalia and yemen make the lsit of the poorest countries. But if Somalia were to haev a functioning government it'd be waaay better than yemen. Yemen's has twice the population of Somalia and much less natural resoruces.
