Somalia has a coastline and about the same distance from the equator as Indonesia. There's no reason why they can't get natural resources if they figured it out for themselves.

Look at that picture. They're kicking barrels of water. Not one of them have thought that maybe there's a better way about it.

Somalia is reported to hold large, untapped reserves of numerous natural resources such as iron ore, uranium, copper, tin, bauxite, gypsum, salt, and natural gas. Its proximity to countries such as Yemen and Saudi Arabia makes it a potential reserve of oil. These resources remain largely untapped and unexploited because of the poor infrastructure and the decades of civil war. For a long time, the country did not have a substantial government in place. However, following the end of the civil war, the country is slowly rebuilding, with several foreign companies already showing interest in investing in its mining industry. Somalia has a lot to do if has to rely on its minerals for revenue. Most experts believe that the oil and gas sector is likely to see some progress in the future. Here are some of the major resources of Somalia

Their country is in ruins because of civil war. That's a man-made/cultural disaster.

They are just as deficient in cognitive resources as they are rich in natural resources.

Can't squeeze blood from a stone.

Read what I said carefully.

What if I told you that you could put American pioneers into an empty territory of Somalia

Carefully.

You can do it.
