A failed state is a country that has no government or their government is currently failing. Those states are now living in anarchy. Sometimes it doesnt mean that your country is going to fail it sometimes means that the people in it will. Lots of countries are high in resources, but they still need help. Not meaning that the countries that are small dont have resounrces but sometimes the people ruin it. .The story about how mahammad is a fisherman and he goes out and fishes, what he catches he brings back to sell at the market. Every afternoon he goes to this light house, which to me would be pretty peaceful. From the light house he can take his usual joy and distruction up there. What held somolia together for some of the time was the elaborate clan system it had. As the europeans arrived the clans checks and balances came crashing down. British ruled lighter than the Italians did down south. Come the 1960s the colinial powers parted and nationlism siezed the somolian people. A few years ago mohamomads best friend was killed by someone on the streets. He went to the market to find ten people dead. That night he tried sleeping, and all he saw was dead people. Sounds like the sixth sense to me.
