But Somali politicians are confident they can at least one border of the external forces to wrest control: the sky.
For almost 15 years has Somalia airspace from a small office in Nairobi, Kenya, where an employee of the air traffic controllers sit quietly on computers to ensure that the United Nations that the scores of commercial jets, which Somalia every day cross controlled - usually to somewhere different of the way to - crash not.
The fee of this is far more than a question of pride. Tens of millions of dollars in airline flyover fees gave in the United Nations as order began the janitor, but Somali officials who complain very little gone in Somalia itself.
So much money is spent, the generous salaries of United Nations pay employees, they claim, little is left to train Somali aviation officials or of the country altersschwach airports to repair. At the airport of Mogadishu have rats chewed through the wires break the x ray machines, and pieces of concrete routinely loosely from ceiling and frustrating crash, Somali officials to no end.
"In any case, we this authority will reclaim", said Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, Prime Minister of Somalia. "It is very easy." The airspace is one of the Somali people. We are a sovereign country. "This is not just about the money."
Officials United Nations say they agree in principle with so that Somalia play a major role in the management of their own airspace, but they are concerned about the handing over of the keys to a complex and potentially dangerous operation to a Government which is constantly fluctuating alive.
Also in the small area of Mogadishu, by which it loose, fights the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia to show that it can pay its own salaries and you take the trash, let alone juggling several dozen jetliner rest through the air at 600 miles per hour.
"It is basically a question of security," said Denis Chagnon, spokesman for the International Civil Aviation Organization, the UN agency, which in 1996 took over Somalia airspace. Mr. Chagnon said that although the Agency in disaster zones for of, for example, temporarily manage the skies over Kosovo and Haiti, had strengthened "nothing really to Somalia compares."
"If you pass at installations in Somalia, the control, you must ensure that these facilities are up to par, that the persons involved are well trained," he said.
Talks have already between the two sides for months, but some Western diplomats are interested in the airspace fees suspicious the Somali Government. Transparency International before recently Somalia who most corrupt country in the world, and rank a Western diplomat claims that it "one einziehenraserei" now because it is unclear how much longer mandate to apply the Transitional Government.
In view of the uncertainty about what then happens, said some Somali officials are "for any small bag of money, they can find," the diplomat, who was not authorized to speak publicly.
But the Somali officials counter that it is has United Nations, which was stolen from them.
"The United Nations has been using our money for luxury cars and mansions," said Captain Mohamoud Sheikh Ali, who until recently was the general manager of commercial aviation in Somalia. "they are plundering our property."
And that is another problem. Captain Mohamoud, a former Somali air force pilot, once a Russian made MIG on the beach of Somali, crash landing after he ran out of fuel, was abruptly in one of the frequent, endlessly zankende large ?nderung-Outs of Ministers and top officials in the Somali Government released.
"We tried a transition, find", álvaro Rodríguez, a UN official working in Somalia said. "But with the T.F.G. and all the staff changes, it kind of comes and goes", Mr RODRIGUEZ said, referring to the interim Government.
