Failed state

What is a failed state? A state or country that has failed at providing basic conditions for the country.

• Loss of control of its territory, or of the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force therein.
• Erosion of legitimate authority to make collective decisions.
• Inability to provide public services.
• Inability to interact with other states as a full member of the international community.

Failed states have the following characteristics: rise in political and criminal violence, loss of control of borders, rising ethnic, religious and cultural hostilities, a civil war against own citizens, weak institutions, food shortages, unemployment rises, inflation rises, GDP falls, infant mortality rises.

Failed state, a state that is unable to perform the two fundamental functions of the sovereign nation-state in the modern world system: it cannot project authority over its territory and peoples, and it cannot protect its national boundaries.

Since 1991 Somalia has been the archetypal failed state. Several attempts to create a transitional set-up have failed, and the current one is on the brink of collapse, overtaken yet again by an Islamist insurgency, despite the support of an Ethiopian military intervention since December 2006.

President George H.W. Bush authorized the dispatch of U.S. troops to Somalia to assist with famine relief as part of the larger United Nations effort. President Bill Clinton pulled U.S. troops out of combat four days later, and all U.S. troops left the country in March 1994.

Somalis generally see everyone as their friends (instead of acquaintances) and will be prepared to open up their lives to you on a personal level very quickly after meeting you. Downplaying your friendship or ignoring them when you see them can be extremely hurtful and offensive (see ‘Social Life’ in Core Concepts).

Somalia fits the bill for bona fide frontier status. It is relatively unexplored, and only one offshore well has been drilled to date; Seismic surveys in 2014 and 2015, shot respectively by Soma Oil and Gas and Spectrum, were the first to map the deep offshore.

Somalia main exports are: livestock, bananas, skins, fish, charcoal and scrap metal. Main export partners are: United Arab Emirates, Yemen and Oman.

Decades of civil war and political fragmentation have made Somalia one of the poorest countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly seven of 10 Somalis live in poverty, the sixth-highest rate in the region.
