From the transcript

Somalia When it comes to war-torn conflict zones, brutal civil wars and failed states, this is one particular country that's likely to be near the top of just about everybody 's lists.

Between the de facto independent government in the northern Somalia region, the autonomous state of puntland at Somalia's outermost tip, the fragile and often fiery Somali government, and the continued resurgence of the simultaneously Somali ethno-nationalist and jihadi terror group al-Shabaab, Somalia is among the world's most profoundly broken nations.

And one that seems to be very, very far away from ever finding its footing as a coherent sovereign state.
