Where is Somalia?

Somalia is a country in Africa. Known as the Federal Republic of Somalia, the
country is located in the Horn of Africa, which is a peninsula in the northeastern
region of Africa. Somalia shares its borders with three other African
countries. Djibouti is situated to the northwest of Somalia and Ethiopia lies along
the western Somali border. Kenya is southwest of Somalia.
The three central bodies of water that encompass Somalia are the Gulf of Aden, the
Indian Ocean, and the Guardafui Channel. The Gulf of Aden lies along Somalia's
northern border. The Indian Ocean is found in the east of Somalia, as is the Guardafui
Channel. This channel also runs along the northeastern border of Somalia, acting as
a divider between Somalia and Socotra, which is an archipelago of the Western
Asian country of Yemen.
Created in 1960 from a former British protectorate and an Italian
colony, Somalia collapsed into anarchy following the overthrow of the
military regime of President Siad Barre in 1991.
As rival warlords tore the country apart into clan-based fiefdoms, an
internationally-backed unity government formed in 2000 struggled to establish
control, and the two relatively peaceful northern regions of Somaliland and
Puntland effectively broke away.
The seizure of the capital Mogadishu and much of the country's south by a
coalition of Islamist shariah courts in 2006 prompted an intervention by Ethiopian,
and later, African Union, forces.

Since 2012, when a new internationally-backed government was installed, Somalia
has been inching towards stability, but the new authorities still face a challenge
from Al-Qaeda-aligned Al-Shabab insurgents.

Somalia Area and Population Density

This country occupies approximately 246,200 square miles (637,657 square
kilometers) of area in Africa on the eastern coast which borders the Indian Ocean
and the Gulf of Aden When calculated with the 2019 population of 15.44 million
people, the population density is 62.7 people per square mile (24.2 people per
square kilometer) which ranks 155th in the world.
Largest Cities in Somalia
There are three cities in Somalia with a population over 1 million: the
capital, Mogadishu is the largest with 2,425,000 citizens, Beledweyne with
1,947,000, and Baidoa with 1,400,000. Mogadishu is an extremely old and
beautiful city, with white beaches that have earned the city the nickname white
pearl. The civil war of 1990 was devastating for Mogadishu and the city is still
rebuilding. Beledweyne is located 340 miles north of Mogadishu close to the
Ethiopian border. Baidoa is found on the south side of the country and is home to
much of the country's history and the famous University of Southern Somalia.
There are a few other significantly sized cities with populations over 500,000
including Hargeisa, Beled Hawo, and Garoowe.
Somalia Religion, Economy and Politics
Most of the people are Muslims, with the majority being Sunni. Its 10.9 million
population represents a huge increase from the 3.3 million people in 1975, but civil
strife in the 90's increased Somali diaspora and many of the highly educated people left.

As of the 2018 World Happiness Report as presented by Wikipedia shows Somalia
ranking in at number 98 on the list of participating countries, with an overall
happiness rating of 4.98 out of 10.
Somalia has seen numerous issues in the last few decades, including poor
governance, protracted internal conflict, underdevelopment, economic decline,
poverty, social and gender inequality and more.
The median age among the population of Somalia is only 18 years of age, with a
life expectancy of 52.8 years of age overall. Males are expected to live to
approximately 50 years, with females expected to live approximately 54 years. The
current fertility rate is holding at more than 5 children per woman, however, a
disproportionately high rate of infant mortality exists - coming in with nearly 100
infant deaths per 1,000 live births.
One factor that is likely strongly connected to this particular statistic, is the
extremely low physician density in Somalia. According to the World Factbook,
there are only .03 physicians per 1,000 individuals in the population. Oddly
enough, there are at least 8 hospital beds available per 1,000 residents.
When we turn attention to the drinking water and sanitation statistics, things
become even more grim. Only 31% of the population has access to clean drinking
water and only 23% have access to improved sanitation facilities. This lack of
hygienic access leaves the population prone to infections including Hepatitis A, E,
and other diseases as well.
