Gheelle.T Posted August 17, 2011 Somalia in an underpopulated country and it has fertile land as well as other resources to sustain three times the size of its current population. Prolong conflict and lack of good government were the catalysts for the current famine. Having said that, your concern doesn't seem genuine nor do you sound someone with a good intention. So, if you are not willing to help those starving kids, do not mock their suffering. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluelicious Posted November 1, 2011 It's wrong to talk about the past with what if that and that had happend or done. Clearly everything happens for a reason and we don't know. Allah is the all knower and best of planners. We may not like high birth rates and large families but it could be that alot of good may come out of it we only don't see it at the moment.

Now the population stands at 11 million and growing by 450 000 people every year. Surely you can see that is unsustainable. Take for example the recent famine, we all see in press and media reports about young mothers with seven starving children who can do nothing to feed their children. If they had adopted birth control and family planning, the famine would not have such an impact. Somali's birth rate is one the highest if the world and it does not have green pastures and fertile agricultaral land like Britain and therefore cannot feed its people . Somalia also does not have a functioning government who can invest heavily intro irrigation, infrastructure and education. Don't you see why the rest of world is turning a blind eye to Somalia because of actions like these? Do you mind publishing the data & stats suggesting your claims highlighted above?
