no.  failed states dont deserve to exist.  someone should take the land and impose order.   whats the point of keeping somalia as the country of somalia rather than the territory/state/province of somalia.


Several reasons.

1) Nobody wants to actually try and rule over Somalia, it'd be messy and expensive.

2) The Somalian people don't want to be ruled over by another country, which makes it immoral to rule them and also makes it even more messy and expensive.

 

Also Somalia is a bit screwed and it isn't an easy problem to solve. First step would probably be to recognise Somaliland and Puntland because those territories actually work - unlike the transitional government.
