Somalia progress and new government

I've been looking into somalia for the last 30 minutes, and I feel incredible anger towards the rest of the world.

The country has been improving quite drastically in many areas since the fall of the central government. I don't know how much you guys know, but I don't want to go to much into it. It's a long list of things. The only things that have measurably declined are literacy and a vague indication that roads aren't doing to well (even though the amount of schools has doubled,their attendance is rising an costs are falling, and universities have quadrupled. The roads aren't doing well because militias and the TFC government armed by other countries are tolling on them without maintaining them).

The reason I was pissed is because the country is doing considerably better and only increasing, it's even outperforming its neighbours in many ways, but the new government seems like it is finally forcing its way into power with the help of the U.S. and various European and african nations. It doesn't own the country yet, but it has already declared Shari'a law as the judicial basis of law. It doesn't have public support because the citizens don't want a new government, so it has used militancy to agressively shove its way into legitimacy.

Honestly I don't know what this topic is about, I was just pissed to hear that. I wanted to see somalia experience real anarchy (since it is only under a vague anarchy) for 20 more years and see how it went. Instead we get 15 years of improvement and the international community pushing hard for another tyrannical government that is going to kill people for being raped.

From what I've read the differences would be that there is no taxation, and in order to supplement most of the regional militias just charge tolls to use the roads (which definatly sucks). The court system is private and the militias mostly just offer defense as well as punishment for breaking the laws. Theres also no regulatory structures.

The differences between it and anarchism are equally large though. For one the people don't believe in anarchism specifically, so anarchism is pretty much impossible in a society that is just "anarchist" by chance. From an anarchist point of view they still believe in central authority.

The other difference is the whole outside interests thing, which can kind of be amounted to that they don't believe in anarchism. The islamists assuredly get their weapons and resources from other islamist militants who are probably funded by corrupt governments. The TFC itself is funded by outside powers and granted legitimacy by outside powers.

So all of the special interests involved and the lack of an independent ideology mean it will surely turn into a government eventually, but for the time being it is extremely decentralized and the markets are free so it would be an interesting experiment in free market anarchism.
