  4. Population Dynamics 50 years from now, Somalia’s population might increase to approximately 48, 501, 132 people It would also take only 3 years for Somalia’s population to double in size

  5. Challenges Today • Somalia is basically an anarchy (no government power) • About 43% of Somalis live in extreme poverty • Many women are illiterate or poorly educated • Somali piracy, banditry, gun-running (smuggling of weapons & ammunition) are common • Recently, Saudi Arabia lifted a ban on Somali

  6. Conclusion • Like many countries in Africa, Somalia is a struggling nation because of poverty and food shortage, no governmental powers, and many other reasons. • But Somalia cannot be rebuilt into a more stable country without some help from others. Numerous organizations, like FAO (Food & Agriculture Organization) and the World Health Organization are involved in assisting Somalia get in better shape
