    Well
    Causes…Very dry Land
    effects…Cannot grow much food… but do not try anyway
    resolutions…Stop having more and more children as they are suffering too.. and that is not their fault.
    get the men to do, or try to do a little a little more as regards the stopping of producing more children. This does not help matters when you have no food to feed them with. In fact it is criminal. Just get them working on the Land to see what they could grow.The whole World seems to go in there and try to help, but they never continue after they leave.

    causes- marginal rainfall and complete lack of government
    effects- famines and the deaths of lots of people-mostly children
    resolutions- stop having kids they can not afford. Lots of families have 9 kids. No place in the world can support that sort of birth rate for long. Especially basket cases like Somalia.

    Causes:
    -Dry, desert land. The surest way to be able to have enough food to eat is to live the traditional nomad way of life – move with the rain clouds so that your cattle may eat and drink and you can harvest and milk those animals. For those living on the coast, fishing used to provide them with some income and food but because of the recent illegal dumping of toxic waste, most are no
    -Recent independence after about a century of being a colony of Britain and Italy (1960s). It takes a lot of time to build a country after it has control of itself.
    -Anarchy after a revolt against the Somali President, Siad Barre (who, according to rumour, had the previous President assassinated).
    “By 1978, the moral authority of the Somali government had collapsed. Many Somalis had become disillusioned with life under military dictatorship and the regime was weakened further in the 1980s as the Cold War drew to a close and Somalia’s strategic importance was diminished. The government became increasingly totalitarian, and resistance movements, encouraged by Ethiopia, sprang up across the country, eventually leading to the Somali Civil War.”

    If a country is in war, it often loses money. Somalia was poor to begin with and conflict after war after war has left Somalis distracted from what’s important (building economy so their country may improve, people can get well-paying jobs, and they can then afford food).

    Effects: Of what – the famine? I don’t think there really is any but hunger. The lack of food available to people is due to the poverty there. That led people to move to other countries like Britain, Canada, Kenya, Ethiopia, USA, Saudi Arabia, etc. There was a large Somali diaspora in the 1990s.

    Resolutions: Hunger in Somalia can’t end until the economy improves. This won’t happen unless the civil war (war between the tribes) ends. It has been going on for 19 years and probably won’t end any time soon. If it did stop, then the next step would be for Somalia to take advantage of its natural resources like banana, mangoes, coal, etc and establish more export and import deals in order to build the economy. The people must rebuild their cities and schools. As their economy grows, they can improve their health care which is also important.

    Current day information: There has been illegal dumping of toxic waste on the coasts of Somalia. The fishermen are left without fish or food and income for their family so their choice was to either stand by and watch as foreigners ruin their waters and livelihood or they fight back. That’s how the pirates began but some have taken it too far by hijacking ships for ransom.

    A new President and Prime Minister of Somalia have taken office. There has been conflict against some Islamic groups in Somalia (which is a Muslim country) and moderate Muslims. Since a Sheik is President and a scholar Prime Minister and both are from different (and warring) tribes that are most dominant in Somalia, the conflicting groups may hopefully find satisfaction in the government and give it a chance.
