Send them help to do what exactly?

Somalia is pretty well fucked beyond any and all help at this point.  Short of a COMPLETE ground up rebuilding of their country area by area involving massive economic and infrastructure building.

This would be a giant costly and taxing effort even if the world hadn't faced a giant collapse.


Being Somali and actually went to the county at 2005 (Which was a pretty great experience, but I wouldn't dare to go now) I think at the moment they really need to stop the petty civil wars, install a stable government which the Islamic Courts were pretty well at 2004-2006 that was until Ethopia (backed by the US started to connect their actions with "extreme Islam"). Just build the place piece by piece hopefully something can out of it.

I think the best UN can do is send aid and encourage neighbouring nations to help them.

I still believe it can be a prosperous nation even though seeing that within my life-time isn't going to happen.

Well yeah.  It's not like somalia is fucked for all of eternity or anything.

It's just, there isn't anything the international community can really do.  Even aid often proved to hurt development ratehr then help it as countries tend to learn to depend on the aid and don't focus enough effort on forming internal means of self sufficency.

There ain't nothing that can be done, and won't be for a while... unless the UN wants to basically try what the US is doing with Afghanistan and Iraq.  Except even more costly in manpower and money.
