Current Events
The state of health of most Somalian citizens has went from being under-fed to being in a near-death situation. The country, with millions of people of people starving, has been considered a failed state ever since a 1991 civil war left the country with no government. Somalia has been controlled by terrorist groups like Al-Quaeda since the civil war. Violent outbreaks occur throughout the country, and delivering food to the malnourished is also very hard. Reports show that within the next 4 months, over 750,000 people could die in a drought filled area. 58 % of the population is starving, which is doublIe the amount at which a famine is declared. Neighboring countries have also been affected by this year's lack of rain and extreme drought.
