Somalia has officially become the Federal Republic of Somalia which is a country acknowledged as the Horn of Africa. Indeed it has a brutal and long history of neverending war, unknowing attacks, and famine. It is also infamous for its regular pirate attacks during the 2000s. But, the truth is that Somalia is much more than this. It’s a very beautiful country where you can go and witness the scenic beauty.
Talking about the geography of Somalia, its coastline stretches to 3,025 km and is shaped like the number 7. It generally lies next to the Indian Ocean to the east and to the north there is the Gulf of Aden. Currently, it is known to be the longest coastline present in the whole continent if it wasn’t for Madagascar. Along the coastline, you will find very beautiful and pristine beaches in the entire world. That’s the reason; it has become one of the most popular tourist destinations. Apart from this, Somalia is also known for its prehistoric rock paintings at Laas Geel. Although many artists have used white and red paint on them, still their brilliance is untouched. These paintings actually give an insight into Somalia life over 5000 years ago showing cattle, giraffes, hunters, and antelopes that used to live in forests.
Somalia has a record of the highest fertility rates in the world. A woman in Somalia, on average can give birth to 6 children. As it is a poverty-stricken country, women don’t get modern ways of contraception. Still, if somehow contraception is made available to them, there is no surety that the women use them because Somali people prefer big families. In Somalia, it’s the prime duty of women to give birth to children. However, because of low healthcare facilities and poverty, sadly many children die at very young ages.
