Life in Somalia is relatively hard. Many of the major cities have been demolished due to constant fighting. Before the war, Somalia was flourishing with many developments. Day-to-day life was easy and promising. But when fighting broke out between the clans, the country regressed back to pre-development. Many of the homes and buildings, which were destroyed during the war, still remain in piles of rubble. As of now, several relief programs have been established in order to revive Somalia as a country.

Did you ever know that every country has different cultural values and norms that may cause misunderstanding among cultures around the globe? Of course, I didn’t really know that till I migrated from my country to the USA. A long time ago, I believed that the world was filled with homogenous societies which are based upon one culture only and that culture must be my own culture which I must follow as the ethnocentric standard to all other nations in the world. But later, I had experienced living in multi cultural communities and different continents around the globe, such as Africa and Asia, where getting involved in other people’s lives is very common. As a result of my experience, I have realized that American cultural values have less

Somalia is a country located in the Horn of Africa.

As I began to read the story about the Somalis who are legal immigrants at a meatpacking plant, owned by JBS U.S.A. Inc., and the Latinos at the plant, not all but some are legal immigrants as well. I could not help but to think about Trumps statements regarding immigrants and the travel ban.

Somalia’s pirates did not start off as desperate bandits. Instead, they were once as Somalia’s fishermen. So what happened? Due to the second phase of the Somali Civil War, the government of Somalia stopped functioning in 1991, the Somali coastline and waters “have become the site of an international ‘free for all,’” which many fishing fleets from around the world were stealing Somali goods and stocks, as well as dumping toxic waste materials. Somali fishermen were forced over the years to defend their fishing expeditions, many of them were forced to become pirates to use extreme measures to take back what it is theirs. Such extreme measures include hijacking ships and unlicensed fishermen who crosses their path, and hold them for ransom.

In 1970, Barre declared Somalia to be a socialist

Economic changes and developments are one of the most important transformations Morocco has gone through during the colonization period. Hubert Lyautey, the first French Commissar General in Morocco, serving from 1912 to 1925, played a huge role in implementing these economic changes that have benefited the country. Lyautey implemented a road system encompassing “a coastal road from Mazaghan [the Amazigh name for today’s El Jadida] in the south to Kenitra in the north, roads from Mogador to Marrakesh, from Mazagan to Marrakesh, from Casablanca to Marrakesh, from Kenitra to Fez, and a road bridging the corridor from, Oujda to Taza” . All roads that still exist today and are widely used by the Amazigh and Moroccans to travel across the country.

Most people know of countries like Syria and the fact that they are war-torn. However countries like the Central African Republic, although people may have never heard of them, there have, in fact, been many horrifying events that have occurred in them. War-torn countries are countries that had undergone war and are awfully poor with very little resources. Providing healthcare in these countries will give these people more opportunities to survive and live their lives which have been ruined because of terrifying wars. According to SOS-USA.org, “Central African Republic remains one of the poorest countries in Africa. Tens of thousands of vulnerable children are without access to basic services.” We can work towards solving this problem by donating
