enrollment, have increased despite being anarchic for the last 20+ years. In

mobile adoption and access to tech, the improvement in Somalia outshadows most
other African countries.

There is the rule of law where Xeer is used. Xeer is suppressed only in the
area of the south where war is being waged between UN insurgents and al-
Shabaab fighters. The rest of the country beyond Galkayo (Puntland and
Somaliland) is not a "failed economy" by any measure besides the faulty
assumption that an economy requires strict intervention in a western-
progressive style.

Can you provide any of these statistics?

I am genuinely interested in seeing these statistics because the picture you
paint of Somalia is much rosier than the picture painted by the people at the
Somali-Bantu Community Center in my county. I am trying to keep an open mind
but I have to admit my skepticism about the situation in somalia meant that I
read your comment as:

"All of the core metrics [ _except education but everyone knows education is a
useless metric for judging living conditions_ ] in Somalia have increased [
_from zero_ ] because it has been hellish in Somalia for twenty years.

There is a functioning economy and rule of law in Somalia [ _if you exclude
the south where there is not a lot of positive things to talk about except
that the government official targeted in yesterdays car bombing was not among
the 11 people killed_ ]."
