Somalia being a post-apocalyptic wasteland qualifies as a mesofact[0], I guess. Whether it actually ever was quite that bad I don't even know. I think the idea is mostly fed via movie tropes.

In my argument I used Somalia as a metaphor to transport an idea of a certain type of hostile enviroment.

I don't see how - in this context - a debate on somalias current affairs can be seen as something other than derailing.
