I've never been there but I saw a Travel Documentary that showed that Somaliland should NOT be confused with Somalia.\nI wish the country enduring peace and a decent chance to improve it's infrastructure. I don't know why so few countries are prepared to 'recognise' Somaliland as an independent country.

Wow...I'm amused by the previous post.  Does he really think that Jews never lived in Palestine?  He should read any history book.  Jewish history in Palestine is well documented, and has been known for generations.\n\nI think today, most of the world recognizes it as a region in limbo...not quite a nation, but not exactly a territory.  It is unique.  \n\nI think it is sad that nations of the world are unwilling to recognize nations that are effectively independent.  I don't know if Palestine quite qualifies yet, since it still depends on Israel for a lot of its financial and trade responsibilities, but it clearly isn't a typical territory.  But clearly there are other places in the world that operate as nations, but the world simply refuses to recognize them.  I think immediately of Somaliland (the northern chunk of Somalia) which has apparently been operating independently for some time, but which the world seems unwilling to deal with.  It seems unfair.  Perhaps there are issues that I'll never understand.  Or Taiwan, which is clearly a separate country from China, but which we continue to ignore to give power to a big bully.  Sad.\n\nI suspect that one day, Palestine will be treated as an independent nation, but I hope they will take time to consider their economic policy before that happens.  If they continue to operate as they are now, the nation will starve.  The government seems to have learned too much economic policy from Israel, and has adopted the Israeli model of socialism.  Sad.  Perhaps they would do well to look back to the history of the Arab peoples and research the Saracen history, in sources like Rose Wilder Lane's "The Discovery of Freedom", to find a model that would make Palestine liveable.  \n\nIf they continue down the current path, it will only lead to more devastation for everyone.

On balance it's better than the one in Somalia.

Ethiopia's involvement in Somalia was at the urging of the united states.I believe this is  fool hardy. Ethiopia has no business getting involved in the affairs of Somalia especially when it can not put its own house in order.It is interesting that you did not mention that Eritrea is also involved.In the end this will become an extension of the Ethiopia- Eritrea conflict.the west is afraid that the Islamic courts will invite extremist to come to Somalia,but that is exactly what will happen if Ethiopia does not stop meddling.Ethiopia is too poor a country to go on these military adventures.

I don't know. I guess there is no way for us to know which country signed first because they agreed upon it simultaneously. Unless you want to know by fact, who was the first representative to jot down a signature! Haha, I really don't know. But all I know is that, only Somalia and the United States have not ratified the CRC. Somalia is currently unable to proceed to ratification as it has no recognized government.

Somalia has no government. It is all run by warlords. That is why guns are so prevalent in somalia. Therefore there is no president.

I've been there. It is an interesting country. The official language is Amharic, but there are about 85 different languages spoken within the country. It is not unusual to need more than one interpreter to talk to someone. \n\nThe capital city is Addis Ababa. Most of the city is fairly primitive, with people living in shacks and cooking with wood or charcoal fires. The country is dangerous enough that many restaurants will search you with a metal detector before you can enter. Many stores like bookstores also will check you before you enter and as you leave. Large hotels will check under your car for bombs before you can enter and have metal detectors at the doors in most of the large hotels. Smaller hotels will not do this at all. Street vendors are very common, selling everything you can imagine, and beggars are common as well. Because of the war with Eritrea, Ethiopia has large numbers of wounded veterans that are missing limbs. It is not unusual to see people sleeping on the sidewalks at night. \n\nThere are some very luxurious hotels in Ethiopia, and the largest was built by an Arab sheik. I was told the hotel cost $180 million to build, but I cannot verify that. Here is a picture;\nhttp://www.starwoodhotels.com/luxury/search/hotel_detail.html?propertyID=149\nThis is a stark contrast to the very poor neighborhoods that surround it. The President's residence is in a compound surrounded by guards who will stop you if you try to take photographs. This is strictly forbidden. \n\nOutside of Addis, Ethiopia is a very undeveloped and wild place. Some smaller towns have hotels and modern accommodations, but many 'towns' are more like collections of dirt-floored shacks. I traveled toward Djibouti into the Great Rift Basin and spent several months near the Awash River. This area is populated by tribal people who live primarily by herding goats, cattle, and camels. They migrate as they must in order to find grass and live in small tents made of goat skins and sticks. There are several tribes in the area that are not friendly to one another. In fact, most males in this area over the age of about 12 carry an AK-47 rifle. They seldom use them as they have a hard time getting ammunition, but they do sometimes skirmish with neighboring tribes. These tribal natives also carry long knives shaped like a dagger and held in a sheath made from goatskin. \n\nThese tribal groups are Muslim, yet they follow very different customs from most Muslims. They do pray regularly and observe Ramadan. The women wear nothing above the waist, and the only way you can tell a married woman from a single woman is that she wears a small head cover. From what I observed the women do most the work taking care of the herds of animals. Other tribal groups in that area survive primarily by weaving mats from reeds and selling them to others. \n\nThe military arms are left over from the time when Ethiopia was a communist country and the Russians were supplying large numbers of arms. There are bombed out tanks still to be seen sitting along the roads. \n\nThe area where I was at in eastern Ethiopia had one school that went to 8th grade and was built by the French. The children did not have pencils and paper in any quantity and were constantly begging me for pencils. I left without any pencils or pens as I had given them all away to children who considered a mere pencil to be a wonderful present. If they do well enough in school up to 8th grade, they can go to Addis Ababa to attend high school, over 400 kilometers away. Most do not and from what I saw many children did not attend school at all.  I wanted to find a way to send school supplies to this area, but discovered it is almost impossible because there is no such thing as mail delivery in much of the country. There would be no way I could deliver a case of pencils and paper to that village without traveling back there myself. \n\nThe area has a large drug problem related to a plant called Chat that i
