I think the country of Somalia should be dissolved, and the territory given to Ethiopia and Kenya is they are willing to govern it.
Or perhaps Italy or the UK would be willing to take their colony back.

 

Bad idea, too much tribal tension and the like. The Somalians wouldn't be willing to live under the Ethiopans or the Kenyans and the Ethiopians and Kenyans probably aren't stupid enough to try.

 

A better idea is to dissolve the country at least partially and recognise the already autonomous Puntland and Somaliland.

 

I think Colonialism might be the only option. They can all go back to hating white rule instead of killing each other.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
