Somalia is situated in the Horn of Africa and is surrounded on one side by the Gulf of Aden and other Indian Ocean. It is bordered by Djibouti to the northwest, Kenya to the southwest, the Gulf of Aden with Yemen to the north, the Indian Ocean to the east, and Ethiopia to the west. Has an area of 637,700 sq km.
Somalia has the longest coastline on the continent and coastline of 3,025 kilometers extension. Its terrain consists mainly of plateaus, plains, and highlands. The capital is Mogadishu.
Since 1991, when Dictator M.Siad Barre was ousted from power, Somalia has been wracked by civil war between clans and it is indeed in the throes of total anarchy. The capital Mogadishu has been for years in the hands of armed gangs, which imposed the Somali people the law of the jungle. The semblance of a return to normality of the population with the establishment of Islamic courts in most parts of Somali territory in 2006 was wiped out by the Transitional Federal Government and Ethiopian troops supported by about two years, the country is once again slip back into nightmare of civil war.
Ethiopian troops, allied with the transitional government, withdrew in January 2009. On 31 January of that year, the Somali parliament met in Djibouti elected for a president the Islamist Sheikh Sharif sheikh Ahmed, leader of the more moderate Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia (ARS) and leader of the Union of Islamic Courts (ICU). The election of new president was defined by the United Nations secretary general Ban Ki-moon "a important step towards national reconciliation", giving new hope to the peace process in Somalia. Somalia is one of the poorest countries in the world; in essence, it depends almost entirely on humanitarian aid. In 2001 the Human Development Index (HDI) calculated by the National Human Deployment Report, was 0.284, this figure places Somalia among the 5 least developed nations in the world. However there are no updated estimates.
Somali economic is based mainly on livestock, remittance/money transfer companies, and telecommunications. Agriculture is the most important sector, with livestock accounting for about 40% of GDP and about 65% of export earnings.
The base of the economy is livestock (At nearly 3 million heads of goat and sheep in 1999, the northern ports of Bosaso and Berbera accounted for 95% of all goat and 52% of all sheep exports of East Africa), subsistence agriculture (sorghum, maize, cassava, vegetables) and Commercial (bananas, sugar cane, and cotton). Fundamentals are remittances, ranging from 300 to 500 million dollars (funds transfer services have become a large industry in the country, with an estimated $2 billion USD annually remitted to Somalia by Somalis in the Diaspora via money transfer companies).
With the help of the Somali Diaspora, mobile phone companies, internet cafés and radio stations have been established. In 2004, a new Coca-Cola bottling plant also opened in Mogadishu, representing a sign of growing business confidence.
