Not bad for a 'Warzone'.

No, that's pretty bad for any kind of zone. It's one of the lowest life expectancies in the world and most of the countries below it have rates of AIDS infection that go up to nearly 40% of the population. Well, them and Afghanistan. But even Iraq beats Somalia out by a solid 11 years.

Another fun fact about life expectancies: the U.S. and Cuba are exactly the same in that category - 78.3 years, tied for #36 in the world.

I meant that the life expectancy went up by 2.47 years during a time of governmental collapse. It's casual to the most obvious of observers that the place is still comparatively a shithole, but it's a better shithole than it started.
