Earlier, I wrote,
.... What about northern Somalia? It collects taxes, pays civil
servants and soldiers, and you can point to it on the map. From
what I have heard, it is one of the better run countries in its
part of Africa.
By `northern Somalia' I meant the part of the country that has a port
on the Gulf of Aden, Berbera. Some say that the US navy wants to
construct a naval base there although the US government does not
recognize the northern Somalian government. As far as I know, the US
government considers the area to be in rebellion against Somalia
proper, with its capital in Mogadishu.
