#1 Considering the typical level of ruthlessness evidenced by the Chinese in dealing with oil producing regions in unstable countries, Somalia might just become functional soon. The Sudanese government has been given upwards of 10,000 "armed oil workers" from China, in order to protect the Chinese investments in Sudan's oil regions. The same seems likely in Somalia, especially since no other oil company has the access to troops and arms that the Chinese state oil firms do. That means that the Chinese will effectively get the full daily oil and natural gas production of Somalia for the next 20-30 years. And the Chinese will NOT be frightened off by a few thousand casualties in a war for resources, anywhere in the world.
