I believe a country MUST develop their military capability as much as possible and the one with weak or informal military force will ALWAYS remain just that. Weak and subjugated specially if you don't have a real strong friend and allay you can lean on on bad times and who watches your back like it's their own business. Somalia MUST need to build up its military might in today's world specially when it doesn't have a real friend in the world at the moment.
