... And yet the country is lower than 72 other countries in terms of cases, we in the UK are higher than them.... So is Spain.... By a huge way. But the Somalis are block so it's worse right?

There are 10 million people in Somalia, is the number of people with infectious diseases a fair comparison to the UK or Spain?

0.7% prevalence, lower than Portugal, Ukraine and Latvia, lower than Barbados.... Much lower than Russia, Spain is .4% the UK .3% but the figures are almost three times higher in both countries so while the percentage is higher the actuall numbers are much much lower, 140,000 in Spain compared to 24,000 in Somalia.... Not my figures by the way, the CIA's factbook.

Of course a vicious civil war that has been going on for over20 years and famine have no bearing on the situation in Somalia.
Between us Brits , French and then the US really turned yet another country into a basket case.

Of course nothing at all to do with the fact that most of these countries have been killing their fellow men off with tribal and civil wars since Adam was a lad and will likely continue to do so for ever and a day regardless of any outside influences.

The scale of fighting going on now with modern weapons is way above anything that happened before. As we know the big powers used and still use the various factions to suit their own interests. oil, minerals etc etc.
Any who are the west to talk, two world wars in a century , tens of millions of our fellow europeans killed.

I am just waiting for you to dismiss another situation or atrocity, using the war of the roses as the benchmark.
Very infantile and not relevant at all, so isn't about time you stopped?

Don't suppose he'll ever grow up.
