Somalia was suffering threw a famine however the famine is over now thanks to good rains, a bumper harvest and donor aid.  Even though the famine is over 2.34 million are at high risk of malnutrition and insecurity.  Over the next 90 days it is critical that Somalia gets support until rain comes in April.  If they are not helped then they will suffer from famine again and many will die.  Although conditions are improving still 31% of the population are in need of emergency humanitarian assistance.  The famine that stuck Somalia killed sands of tens of thousands of people half of the deaths were children under 5 years old.  If there is a reduction in aid from the international community Somalia’s improvements can be reversed. 

Some countries in the world are suffering from relatively high unemployment at 8.4% while other countries are suffering from famine with over 30% of the country malnourished.  The world consists of extreme poor and extreme rich.  Some countries embraced capitalism and industrialization while others did not.  Somalia is a poor country with many struggles which could be the visual results of the difference between countries that didn’t embrace Capitalism and countries that did like the United States.  Both countries have problems that they are dealing with but if you take a step back and look at the severity of these problems there is a major difference.  One is worried about jobs which is a big issue however an issue like famine is on another level.  Somalia is relying on other countries for aid while the people in America rely on organizations within the nation for aid.
