Failure of rains? Please spare me! Somalia has two large rivers, plenty of water there. Create a fund that will revive the Bardera Dam project and in less than two years that fund will be filled, build grain storage facilities costing less than a million dollars and more than 80 000 tons of food will be saved from waste each year, which would neutralize a bad harvest. Your solution is myopic and will see us having this same conversation in 2012, 2013, 2014 etc.

What I said to you earlier:

 

There is a time and place to discuss putting Somalia on the right tract long term

and all the political maneuvering and who should do what, however there is a crisis in Somalia at the moment where an estimated 2.4 million Somalis require emergency humanitarian assistance, some literally dying of starvation as we type while others are pretty close.

This is no time to discuss how the fire started, this is a time to put out the fire

, and thats what he wants people to do.

what you don't want to acknowledge is that Somalis are only reaping what they have sown. those who bought down the barre government did not consider what would happen if they succeeded. the starving masses are part of the problem and the public in Somalia are as guilty as the warlords. you say first put out the fire then all long term issues will be dealt with. if somebody was playing with matches and not thinking about the consequences of his action, then the house catches fire and he asks people for help, will you help him? when a million Somalis starve then they will take food security seriously and stop believing that a savior will save regardless of what happens. the reason Chimera ideas are not realized is that when there is no crisis all the public think about is politics and clan. there is no morality, work ethic and law and order in Somalis in Somalia. if people can't cooperate on a daily basis why cooperate when the chicken came home to roast. the obligation in Islam don't start and finish in a crisis. the bottom line is that Somali public have forgotten God. they will suffer the consequences and don't think the diaspora is lucky. their suffering will came soon enough as the world will go from one crises to another in the next decade. so everyone will suffer eventually so people better adept and survive. the root problem is the Somalia culture which in due time will be completely replace by the true Islamic culture if Somalia is not to be a hell hole.
