Hah.

The perfect example of what happens when you have 6 governments.

The north has been relatively peaceful, especially the former British-run territory, Somaliland. Although its independence is not internationally recognised, it runs democratic elections and last year saw a peaceful transfer of power - still a rarity for Africa.

Effective government, even in Somalia.
