Introduction

Somalia is a country congested by civil war for more than 20 years and now it one an example of extreme hunger and poverty all around the world. Consequences due to violence and war have lead to the destabilization of Somalia, which is now considered a failed state. Somalia is situated at the easternmost part of the continent of Africa which is the tip of the geographical region. It is the centers of one of the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world, with a ruthless drought worsen by years of conflict and war which restricted the world from providing aid and support to the people of Somalia.

The long running conflicts in Somalia since the last two decades have divided the country. The intense fighting taking place in the region has lead to restriction on humanitarian access due to which a large number of people in the country are left stranded without any help. Somalia has completely collapsed, and it is yet to be reconstructed. The war in Somalia ravaged the whole country and generated serious issues such as famine, economic crisis, poverty, destruction and over 300,000 deaths of people killed due to famine. Somalia is a country which cannot provide its residents with the basic necessities of living, making it the most poor and deprived nations of the world. In this paper, we would discuss two of the main issues faced by Somalia and its people.

The conflicts in Somalia have led to mass destruction in the country, destabilizing the economic conditions and affecting the lives of the people in Somalia. Somalia is among the most underdeveloped, deprived and poor nations of the world. Today's breakdown of the country and the state of creeping civil war or anarchy is nothing new in this part of Africa. Somalia for most of its history was divided into small kingdoms, cities and states, constantly competing with each other. The current condition of Somalia is very disastrous with people having no access to food, shelter, healthcare or any other facility. The economic conditions of the country have worsened day by day due to continuing conflicts in the region. Currently, Somalia faces two very big challenges: Famine and Poverty. People of Somalia are extremely deprived with very less or no access to facilities of education, food, shelter, jobs and basic medical facilities. In spite of the united nation's keen interest to help reconstruct Somalia and resurrect it from the current condition, it didn't have any major impact on the nation's development (Kusow, 2004).
