I used to be in your situation, not because the market is bad in country ( programmers today have 0% unemployment rate) but because I hate the way companies work in place. You can start freelancing very easily. As long as you are a great programmer you'll easily find freelance work or a remote job. I live in Portugal and there's a huge demand for programmers and it's growing each year, the same applies for the rest of Europe and US ( and possible other countries ). Keep in mind that hiring remote developers is always cheaper because of tax evasion, you're a contractor not an employe that they have to pay social contributions. You need to research and set your hourly rate. Inform yourself about Escrow services, oDesk/Upwork provides this service. Also don't forget to pay your taxes and add this to your hourly rate.
If you want to increase your options: Create a blog and write great programming articles (I would appreciate it), engage in open source projects as a truly code collaborator, etc. Eventually you'll have more options than you initially thought, you're marketing yourself.
Bad internet connection? This might be a killer, for some people voice is fine but if you have a connection that work great when you're in a video call in HD, it's much better. Communication is key, trust me on this one.
One way around a bad internet connection (except for video) is to set up remote cloud instances (Linux, Windows) on AWS or similar. It doesn't take a lot of bandwidth to do an RDP or NX connection, even less for ssh. Then if you have to download large amounts of code to work on, just download it to the remote instances you've set up.
Somalia and Nigeria in particular can be challenging for Americans to get money to IIRC, but this is a problem that bitcoin may actually solve pretty well.
