Failed State - Government has no control because of social and political structures collapsing.
Failing Nations: Why Things Fall Apart - Failing Nations are caused by leaders. Alot of governments dont want to help with simple services. Over a billion people live in countries in danger of collapse. What are all of these people supposed to do when their country fails? Location and resources, bad neighbors, put a country in a dangerous risk. Countries all compete for authority but they should really being working as one government. When it comes down to it, Nations fail because of the people.
Shattered Somalia - This was a HUGE article to read. It was hard to focus on something that long when you dont have a choice if you want to read it or not. But oh well. It is about how two different parts make up Somalia. Somaliland is a region in Somalia that has peace and is pretty stable. But in the South is Mogadishu. Mogadishu is a failed state. It has many pirates and terrorists. Somalia is known for violence and broke down about 18 years ago. They have had many civil wars. There are many clans and every different clan fights a different clan. They pertect their own people. The only reason people stay in Somalia is to stay with their heritage. People their still hope that one day there might be peace in there homes.
There is always so much bad going on in the world. I think about kids in school in the United States always complaining about things. But we never think about how bad things are outside of our own country. I would never want to live in Somalia or any country like it. It would be horrible. Even if I wanted to keep my heritage, I dont think I would live their when so much danger would be around me at all times.
