My opinion of the problem in Somalia


I feel that the growing radical group of Al-Shabaab has caused many problems not only in Somalia, but also in other countries, for example Egypt. I feel that even when infringements on other countries cannot be tolerated, such bellicose methods imposed by the terrorist groups must be stopped immediately.

The mere fact of the Al Qaeda terrorist groups have led to many other problems, one mainly being the unstable government of Somali. I think that in order to give Somalia a sustainable and efficient government, member states must raid of the problem that has been too long been dwelling within Somalia. However this is easier said than done; Somalia does not have enough military resources in order to fight against terrorist groups and if outer countries interfere, Somalians might consider such movements as infringing upon their policies. If we are to rid such a enduring problem, Somalia should be able to co-operate with fellow member states in order to devise a viable plan to unite forces to stop the terrorist group. In addition the constant famine in Somalia must also be mitigated in order to create a transition period for the current unstable government to be replaced. Resources can be sent from neighboring countries; though there may be countries who suffer from their own problems, we must all pitch in to help. The continuing piracy within the Somalia Coast has also been a widely known international problems concerning numerous countries and massively affecting the shipping industry. Because many shipping ships are captures off the shore of Somalia and held captive for ransom, they are unable to use the quick and efficient route crossing Africa, Instead they have to make a huge loop in order to evade the pirates. This creates huge economical loss that are detrimental to shipping companies across the world. The piracy can only be stopped by two ways: either raiding all pirates or to provide the people with subsistence of jobs in order to maintain the average living conditions.
