  • While there has been a taboo against the changing of borders in Africa due to legitimate reasons, it became accepted that South Sudan should be created due to the destabilizing force that the Sudanese government played in the local populace. While the southern part of Somalia isn’t a direct threat to Somaliland, it is obvious that there isn’t a central Somali government able to enact control over Somaliland and the Somaliland government doesn’t wish territorial expansion to become the legitimate government of all Somalia.

    In these terms, I feel like the recognition of Somaliland isn’t destabilizing to the region and seems to be a better option than continued anarchy over a wider area.

    I also feel like Djibouti is trying to fight against this recognition as this gives Ethiopia another path to sea access.







  • The show also hits viewers over the head that there are morals that the crew won’t cross, like stealing medicine from that town. It is also in the opening song that, because of the war and his service, Mal can’t exactly settle down and be a good law abiding citizen, so he takes jobs of dubious legality since they pay better.

    Mal is the same kind of bad that Han Solo was painted as in Star Wars. He’s not a nice guy, but more neutral than evil and will perform good acts at times.

    The show also played up the Alliance as being more absolutely evil because it had to in order to justify Mal.
