There is a difference between the formerly British controlled Somaliland and the former Italian colony of Somalia. The latter fell apart but the former retained a semblance of civil society. Without having read the article (it is blocked from my work account) I suspect the article is actually discussing Somaliland rather than Somalia.
- azernik 9y agoThis is a libertarian discussing Somalia. The title sounds ridiculous because the article is ridiculous ideologically-motivated nonsense.
- xenophonf 9y agoNope - Somaliland is a pretty dangerous place, too. From https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/somalia https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/somalia: The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advise against all travel to Somalia, including Somaliland except for the cities of Hargeisa and Berbera to which the FCO advise against all but essential travel. And from https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Somalia.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-tra...: Violent crime, such as kidnapping and murder, is common throughout Somalia, including in Puntland and Somaliland. Illegal roadblocks are also widespread.
