“Between January 1991 and August 2000, Somalia had no working government.”
Ok, then, so what? I didn’t know that. But he does. He went on to ask what “working government” means and we had to explain that that means there was no President and that there are no laws and that the people were probably very unruly.
Of course, we had to get some information about this and this was what we read:
Political Situation since Independence
1960-1969Â Democracy
1969-1976Â Military Regime
1976-1991Â One Party State (SRSP)
1991-2000Â No Central Government, National Fragmentation
2000-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Transitional Governments, National Fragmentation
