Believe it or not, some are claiming that Somalia is doing alright without any elected government, thank you. Somalian have access to fairly good cell phone service and one can hire private bodyguards. Prevalence of AIDS is extremely low compared to many other African countries (though many attribute this to strict Muslim practices regarding sexuality). As this same article points out, however, things are going so "well" that the Somali 2004 presidential election had to be held in Kenya. Consider, also, the BBC's 2009 country profile of Somalia:

Somalia has been without an effective central government since President Siad Barre was overthrown in 1991. Fighting between rival warlords and an inability to deal with famine and disease led to the deaths of up to one million people . . . [Somalia is the] scene of arguably Africa's worst humanitarian crisis: a third of the population is dependent on food aid . . . No effective government since 1991.
