 Somalia Tops Corruption ListPosted on Nov 17, 2009
File this one under Dubious Honors of the World: An organization with the fun name of Transparency International has created a list ranking nations according to “perceived levels of corruption in the public sector,” as the BBC put it, and Somalia appears to be the worst of the bunch, taking the top slot. Actually, it’s the bottom slot, as the list seems to be ranked in reverse, but since this is confusing, we’ll still call it the top. Thank you for your flexibility, kind readers. Oh, and Afghanistan and Iraq aren’t far behind (above?). —KA

How do you explain Angola? Somalia? Chad? Congo? None of these nations have ever been under British rule.
Tyler, you’re an idiot.

Duh. Does Somalia even have a government? Why is it still considered a nation?

The failed states of Africa are due to Brit meddling, mayhem and murder. It’s the Brit evil way of holding onto colonies.

Until corruption and torturous poverty are eliminated, there will be no solution for the violence and terrorism that evolve from them.
