Almost all of the faults of the current government in Somalia are because of the reign of imperialization. While many of the countries within Africa were being colonized by just one country, Somalia had both Italy and Britain controlling it. Over time, Somalia has never been able to maintain a civil and stable government. Before imperialization, the majority of the population were simple farmers. Now, because of the failure of imperialization, they have one of the most corrupt governments in all of Africa. Imperialism has had long lasting negative impacts on Somalia like poverty, piracy, and a severely corrupt government.
