#1 Somalia is THREE countries.

IT's time the UN recognised the functional state of Somaliland and the semi-functional state of Puntland and started channeling aid money to them and away from the totally inept, thieving and largely absent Transitional Federal Government that they insist on propping up.

500 + elected members in the TFG that purports to rule the 'unified' country.

The biggest decisions they make is whether to order the latte or the cappuchino in Java House, Nairobi where they sit warming the seats with their big fat bums.

#2 Not sure about Puntland but Somaliland certainly is a separate state, and should be.
