Military expenditure (% of GDP), 1961–2024. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 41 of the 64 years between 1961 and 2024 for Somalia. The missing 23 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
