Oh damn, I have some reading to do.
This is likely to result in a changed world-view.

Somalia is a perfect example of the clusterfuck of warring factions that result when a Aid dependent Foreign Nation won't stick to a UN Aid concessionary agreement. The Habr Ghidr should have just been given the distribution contract, then they would have probably become the Ruling regime, and Somalia wouldn't have to rely on hi-jacking oil tankers today.

I like how people keep talking about Somalia as if it exists as any meaningful concept. Neither country or culturally cohesive region is applicable.
The most honest thing you could do is put a 'Here be Dragons Wild Humans'  sign on the map.

Don't need to tell me. I spent months as a sniper, crawling across the rooftops of Mogadishu. Hella game, Black Hawk Down.

"Yeah, there used to be borders around this place that meant something, at least to foreigners. But then we decided to listen to the tribal elders, terrorists and pirates instead of to government because they had more guns. So now we call our house home and our village is our entire social context. Flag? We don't have money for that kind of thing. Government? Yeah I hear some village 200 kilometres from here call themselves 'the goverment' and their village 'the capitol'. I'm not sure what that means though they seem just a bit worse than the local warlord. At least our warlord spends his money locally."
