Failing to help, a recipe for all manner of multiple disasters, and just not that hard!

Simply put, all the west need provide, is 6-7 thorium powered generators, then use that power to pump copious desal water miles inland!

Not too hard if the the latest deionization dialysis is implemented.

Producing around 95% potable water and at quarter of the cost of traditional desal. And all up, change from a billion!?

Once having delivered the desalinated water, then used in underground application doubles the amount of land that can be brought into production for half the traditional water allocation.

Grain crops mean dual purpose oxen can be harnessed to otherwise sustenance farming. Guaranteed water the only missing element!

Walk away safe, molten salt thorium reactors the cheapest source of power; Somalia has abundant supplies of this energy dense material, and enough to provide very low cost power for the next 1,000 years?

After ending any and all future drought related famine, cheap abundant energy all that's needed to completely transform that economy!

All that's missing in this easy as solution, [We have foreign aid money], are the leaders willing to back the plan?

Why? Because it works against the interests of the oil barons and big nuclear! And the exceedingly important electoral donations they provide?

And everybody with half a brain knows that protecting those monumental profit margin/generous electoral donations, is much much more important than a few million impoverished starving tribes, dying as we watch, mothers and all but deceased babies!

Appealing to the better angels in the energy business community, worried by business harming precedents, a complete waste of time, given their better angels are most notable by their absence!

BESIDES, TALK IS SO MUCH CHEAPER!

However, if there was an exciting new oil province to plunder?

There'd be no trouble finding a few billion for guns, bullets, blunderbusses, bombs, tanks, troops and jet fighters as protection! And as that machine is rolled out? A more "permenant" solution found!?

Lack of food and water is certainly not desirable.
However in 1980 the population of Somalia was about 6 million.
Now in 2017 it is about 11 plus million.
The rate of increase is about 3% pa and each woman has an average of 6 plus children.
This is also an undesirable situation.
Perhaps one contributes to the other??

If Bashir Goth was fair dinkum, instead of attempting to morally blackmail the “international community”, he would identify the sources of finance and weapons for al Shabaab.

ateday, the only non simplistic, population control that has ever been shown to work, is linked to and totally reliant on economic improvement and consequent educated females, with an inherent right to say no to forced marriage or forced mating!

What is needed is clarity of thinking, rather than the usual redundant, worthless, cloud dwelling, parsimonious sermonising of a dried up, cloud cuckoo land, (know all) old fool!

Somalia needs to oust Islam, not sit back waiting for aid from non-Islamic countries who know the self-defeating stupidity of Islam. Why would any democratic country give to a dysfunctional state like Somalia whose own religion is the thing making them dysfunctional!

Alan B take note of what ttbn said. You are very ready to be rude but your obsessions are delusional. You need to think it through before you say anymore.
Somalia is a failed state and population increase and reduction is it's forte. The West should just leave them to it and also insure the infection is not spread to Australia.
