Nothaving a functional central government since 1991 has protected the people of Somalia from thegenocidal methods advocated by the UN and its western backers, as have the values and normsof the Somali people and culture which could not be perverted by the manipulations of thegenocidal lobby.Somalia however has fallen prey to overpopulation and resource scarcity and suffers endemicpoverty and chronic famine because it lacks the political leadership necessary to legislatepopulation control and the people do not have the education and means necessary to exerciseself-restraint on the reproductive front.

All it needs is brave and smart leaders who are not afraid to stand in front ofthe people and tell them the truth that unless Somalia reaches replacement level fertility in recordtime the country will disintegrate in famine and war or will be subjected to poisonous food,adulterated sterilizing vaccines, and germ warfare by an international community bent on759 | P a g e
