Upon saying that, there is a lot of division that goes into the formation of these clans despite the fact Somalia is very homogenous and the population is 99% Somalian (Terdman 2008, 12). Due to this, the vast majority of its citizens share both a common language and a common culture. (Woods 1997, 1) Still, clans are often split up in to sub-sections through patrilineal lineages (Elmi and Barise 2006, 6).

Apart from the higher rises in the north, the weather is hot consistently. The vast majority of Somalia is a semiarid or arid area where rainfall is inadequate. However, the southwest and the northwest of the country receive moderate rainfall. This is where Rivers Jubba and Shabeelle are located. With 500 millimeters of rainfall received in most areas annually, the country can be considered dry for many spells of the year. Due to such climatic and weather conditions, many Somalis practice…

The language (sound and body) is also associated with the films binarism that seeks to demonize the Somalians. First of all, you can tell that most of the American soldiers have years of training and experience making them effective fighters, but the Somali militia forces are shown as a barley functionable fighting force. In many of the fight scenes, the militia not only can’t aim, but they are super disorganized in how they fight. They rarely even utilize guerrilla tactics when fighting and…

For example, the tourism industry immensely contributes to the U.S economy. In 2015, foreign tourists spent about $199 billion in the U.S, which made up 9% of U.S exports in 2015 (“Correction: Trump-Immigration-Economic Impact Story”). However, there has been little growth in travel and tourism since the record level in 2015 (“Correction: Trump-Immigration-Economic Impact Story”). Trump’s immigration policy will only further hurt the growth of travel and tourism because many people, specifically…

Fortunately for our family, we had different families who lived outside the capital city and since the battle was just going ahead in the capital city it implied that we could move and discover a spot to live outside the capital city. Living outside the capital city was troublesome on the grounds that there was no electricity power and clean water as a great many people who live there can't bear to pay for the water and electricity bill. I've lived in Mogadishu, where the life there is sad, risk…
