Somalia



Primary Document: [|Travel Warning U.S Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs] Explanation: This document relates to global interactions with Somalia because the United States put out a warning against all travel to Somalia. Why? This is because of the pirates in Somalia. The pirates ended up hurting Somalia because travel has stopped from the United States. This then hurts the country economically because tourists are not coming in to try buy things, eat at restaurant, or staying at motels.

Primary Document: [|Travel Warning U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Bureau of Consular Affairs] This is yet another warning of travel only this time it is consulting Kenya. This is because three workers were kidnapped and were thought to be brought to Somalia. Somalia has very negative global interdependence with other countries because of terrorist attacks by pirates or other terrorist groups. This involves the government because the government is the one putting out warnings about Somalia and wherever the somalians are located. This is interdependence because Somalia is endangering two countries economies (Kenya and Somalia) because of acts of terrorists. Also the governments are getting involved to prevent travel to the countries for safety.

Artifact 1: This picture shows the negative realtionship with Somalia because these are the pirates that are causing warnings about not traveling to Somalia. The pirates are going to cause Somalia's economy to fail because travel is stopping due to violence that is going on. There is a relationship that is strong between the United States and Somalia, but it is a negative response and this picture shows the pirates.

Artifact 2: ﻿This article presents yet another negative thing for Somalia. A group of Islamists admitted that they are interacting with the al-Qaeda. This is not a positive thing for the Untied Stats to hear because the United States has been fighting a war to stop the terrorist group that the Somalian Islamists have joined. Although the United States knows that not all Islamists are with al-Qaeda, they still have to be careful while trying to eliminate the pirates. This means that the Somalian government has to help the United States out, so that they are not put under attack while they are trying to help the Somalians.

Artifact 3: This article is positive interactions with Somalia because the United States Navy attacked what they thought to be a pirate ship. They took 5 people captured into custody in order to try to protect the Somalian people. This is positive because the government is not strong in Somalia so they have no way to fight the pirates, so they have no choice other than to let the United States Navy fight them. The United States, the French, and the Dutch have all been attacked by the pirate ships so the United States is interacting with Somalia to stop the pirates from continuing their attacks of violence.
