		Somalia’s economy is crippled by civil war, destruction of physical infrastructure, lack of investment and rampant unemployment.

	The Economy of Somalia
		Since Somalia and Ethiopia ended their wars of liberation in 1991, but Ethiopia has had a functional democratic government since then whereas Somalia has had no national government since then, why is it that the Somali economy has recovered so strongly despite lack of a national government?
		The reason is that they require investments by the nomads in specific tracts of land, rather than to retain the traditional freedom to move to the tracts of land where rain has actually fallen.
		Therefore, the Somali people need to develop a capability for doing their own analysis for such projects, whereby the analysis is not connected with or integrated with the potentially profit-generating projects, which could distort the long-term analysis and recommendations.
