  • Somalian Tilannekatsaus Joulukuussa 2019
    Raportti MIG-1920946 06.03.00 20.12.2019 MIGDno-2019-205 Somalian tilannekatsaus joulukuussa 2019 Tiivistelmä Somalia on usealla tavalla hauras valtio. Maan poliittinen järjestelmä on muotoutumisvaiheessa ja kehitysprosessi on lisännyt Somalian hallinnon sisäisiä jännitteitä. Osavaltioiden ja liittovaltion välillä on pahasti yhteistyötä haittaavia ristiriitoja, joiden seurauksena turvallisuusolosuhteiden vakiinnuttamisen ja maan kehityksen pelätään vaarantuvan. Somalimaa on pysynyt muusta Somaliasta irrallaan ja hakee tunnustusta vuonna 1991 antamalleen itsenäisyysjulistukselle. Somalian turvallisuustilanne on edelleen epävakaa. Al-Shabaab kontrolloi edelleen merkittävää osaa Somalian etelä- ja keskiosissa ja kykenee tekemään vaarallisia iskuja Somalian hallintoa ja sitä tukevia turvallisuusjoukkoja vastaan. Siviiliväestö on kärsinyt väkivallasta jäätyään taisteluiden jalkoihin tai oltuaan suoraan iskujen kohteena. Konflikti on aiheuttanut tänä vuonna satoja siviiliuhreja. Siviileihin kohdistuneisiin oikeudenloukkauksiin ovat syyllistyneet al- Shabaab, turvallisuusjoukot, klaanimilitiat ja muut aseistautuneet joukot. Maan humanitaarinen tilanne on tällä hetkellä vaikea. Somalia on kärsinyt toistuvista kuivuusjaksoista, minkä seurauksena sadot ovat jääneet riittämättömiksi. Maan elintarviketilanne on tällä hetkellä huono ja miljoonat ihmiset ovat humanitaarisen avun tarpeessa. Erityisen vaikea tilanne on 2.6 miljoonalla maan sisäisesti siirtymään joutuneella. Humanitaarisen avun toimittaminen on hyvin haasteellista jatkuvan epävakauden

I would like to take this opportunity to pay specific attention to the people around me. First of all my gratitude goes to all the respondents that have been so open towards me, (often) discussing freely issues that were important to them and bringing me in contact with others. I want to thank HIRDA, and particularly Fatumo Farah who has helped in the Netherlands and in Kenya, finding my way to respondents and discussing issues to give me more insight in the Somali culture. Mohamed Guled, who arranged a place for me to stay, introducing me to his family, his network and helped me find my way in Nairobi, I would like to thank him here very much for all his help and support. I would sincerely like to thank Lothar Smith, my supervisor, who introduced me to the research topic of remittances and to HIRDA. I want to thank him for the time he took to provide critical input for this research and who made me look at the research through different perspective.
