Question 10 • Rulewicz 7 Geography Q2/Q3/Q4 (2025-2026)

Which of the following statements best describes the government of Somalia?

Answer
A
a democracy with a stable parliamentary government
B
an anarchy where rival warlords fight for control of the government
C
a monarchy where the same family has ruled for more than 50 years
D
a democracy where nonwhites are excluded from a government that is controlled by a white minority

Explanation

Somalia has experienced prolonged political instability, with rival armed groups and warlords competing for power, so choice B is the best match. It is not a stable parliamentary democracy as described in A, nor a monarchy or a white-minority government. Somalia has established a federal government, so describing it simply as an anarchy is an oversimplification of its current political system.
