I think if anyone is to blame it's the UN for not going in and helping aid the country back in the early '90's when the coups happened and the country tore itself apart. That county is so ****ed up now and really has no chance of ever catching up with the rest of the world because like just about everything else in Africa, the West turns it's back on it. We have ****ed that continent up and set it back so far by our own greed that it's a wonder if it will ever recover before we inevitably destroy ourselves.
I agree, a lot more should be done about protecting that coast, but it's funny that all of a sudden everyone seems to care because it's an American this time.
If you haven't already heard of or listened to him yet, I would highly recommend the hip hop artist K'Naan who is originally from Somalia and was lucky to get out on one of the last commercial flights before the **** really hit the fan. He has a first hand view on how messed up that country is and can provide more insight.
