What country is Somalia?

Let me explain it to you: Somalia is a country. The capital is Mogadishu, with a land area of ??637,660 square kilometers. Population 10.4 million. The Somali Peninsula, located in the easternmost part of the African continent, has a coastline of 3,200 kilometers, with plains along the southeast coast, lowlands along the Gulf of Aden, plateaus in the interior, and mountains in the north. Most areas have a tropical desert climate, and the southwest has a savanna climate. The entire territory has high temperatures and little rain all year round, and there are few rivers. The main rivers are the Shabelle River and the Juba River. Starting from the 7th century AD, Arabs gradually immigrated here, and Islam also became popular. In 1840, the British invaded the northern coastal areas. In 1887, the north became a British protectorate and was called British Somalia. In 1925, the south became an Italian colony and was called Italian Somalia. On June 26, 1960, the northern region became independent. On July 1, 1960, the southern region became independent and merged with the southern and northern parts to form the Somali Republic. It was renamed the Democratic Republic of Somalia in October 1969, and its current name was changed in February 1991. I hope the above introduction is useful to you.
