Somalia officially the Federal Republic of Somalia (Somali: Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya; Arabic: جمهورية الصومال الفيدرالية), is a country in the Horn of Africa. The country is bordered by Ethiopia to the west, Djibouti to the northwest, the Gulf of Aden to the north, the Indian Ocean to the east, and Kenya to the southwest.
==History==
Somalia was once one of the African members of the commies - in 1969, via a coup d'état, Somalia was turned into the socialist Somali Democratic Republic. In a bizzare twist of events, the Somali government was allied to the United States.
This communist state was established in the 60's, and soon after it's creation, established close ties with other countries ruled by the crimson ideology, such as the Soviet Union, Cuba and East Germany.
The state was not as involved in the Third World War as others, not being too fond of the Soviet Union - even under Aleksander - and soon enough it collapsed into civil war in 1991, which, to use the term loosely, resulted in the establishment of the modern-day Federal Republic of Somalia.
