  • Somaliland: the Strains of Success
    Somaliland: The Strains of Success Crisis Group Africa Briefing N°113 Nairobi/Brussels, 5 October 2015 I. Overview Somaliland’s hybrid system of tri-party democracy and traditional clan-based gov- ernance has enabled the consolidation of state-like authority, social and economic recovery and, above all, relative peace and security but now needs reform. Success has brought greater resources, including a special funding status with donors – especially the UK, Denmark and the European Union (EU) – as well as investment from and diplomatic ties with Turkey and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), though not inter- national recognition. It is increasingly part of the regional system; ties are especially strong with Ethiopia and Djibouti. Given the continued fragility of the Somalia Federal Government (SFG), which still rejects its former northern region’s independence claims, and civil war across the Gulf of Aden in Yemen, Somaliland’s continued stabil- ity is vital. This in turn requires political reforms aimed at greater inclusion, respect for mediating institutions (especially the professional judiciary and parliament) and a regional and wider internationally backed framework for external cooperation and engagement. Successful state building has, nevertheless, raised the stakes of holding – and los- ing – power. While Somaliland has remained largely committed to democratic gov- ernment, elections are increasingly fraught. Fear of a return to bitter internal conflict is pushing more conservative politics: repression of the media and opposition, as well as resistance to reforming the increasingly unsustainable status quo. Recurrent po- litical crises and delayed elections (now set for March 2017) risk postponing much needed internal debate. The political elites have a limited window to decide on steps necessary to rebuild the decaying consensus, reduce social tensions and set an agenda for political and institutional reform.

  • European Union Training Mission Somalia
    European Union Training Mission Somalia PRESS SUMMARY 25th April 2018 “In ‘Media’ stat virtus” EUTM - SOMALIA 25/04/2018 Speciale difesa: contingente italiano Eutm Somalia presenta 21 progetti di cooperazione realizzati nel biennio 2017-2018 Roma, 24 apr 16:00 - (Agenzia Nova) - Il comandante dell’Italian National Support Element (It-Nse) della Missione di addestramento dell’Unione europea in Somalia (Eutm Somalia) ha incontrato il vice governatore della regione del Banadir e il suo staff. L’incontro, che si è svolto presso l’ufficio del sindaco di Mogadiscio e governatore del Banadir, è stato voluto fortemente per mostrare la volontà da parte dei militari italiani della missione Eutm di supportare l’amministrazione locale. L’iniziativa, si legge in un comunicato dello Stato maggiore della Difesa, ha avuto inoltre lo scopo di presentare le attività della Cellula di cooperazione civile e militare (Cimic) svolte e da svolgere da parte del contingente italiano in Somalia. Nel corso dell’evento sono stati discussi gli esiti dei 21 progetti eseguiti a supporto della popolazione locale che hanno interessato, nel corso del 2017-2018, principalmente i settori sanità, sicurezza, servizi di emergenza e supporto umanitario alle minoranze. Questi interventi sono stati realizzati grazie alla determinazione degli operatori del Multinational Cimic Group, unità dell'Esercito – a valenza interforze e multinazionale – specializzata nella cooperazione civile-militare che opera a Mogadiscio sin dal 2014. Tra i numerosi interventi si possono elencare i progetti di ristrutturazione delle Mother and Child Health Centre dei distretti di Shibis e Darkeenley, infrastrutture pubbliche che hanno come target l’assistenza delle giovani madri partorienti e dei minori sino ad un età di 3-5 anni.

  • Somaliland and South Sudan
    South Sudan and after: rethinking borders and revisiting migration after the referendum 10 June 2011 YASN, University of Leeds What makes Somaliland's case for recognition so different? Michael Walls & Steve Kibble Introduction Somaliland in the northern tip of the Horn of Africa is bounded by Djibouti, Ethiopia, ‘Puntland State’ of north-east Somalia, and Yemen across the Red Sea. The people of Somaliland are ethnic Somali, sharing with other Somalis a common language, religion, Sunni Islam, and a traditional livelihood system based around nomadic pastoralism. Most come from three main ‘clan families’ - the Isaaq, Dir (Gadabursi and 'Iise) and Harti (Warsengeli and Dulbahante) of the Darod clan federation. The Isaaq, the most populous and the politically and economically dominant group, divide into six main sub-lineages. These sub-clans and the dynamic divisions and alliances between them have at times represented critical factions in Somaliland’s politics. Historically Somalis were largely nomadic pastoralists. Customary political affiliation is based on kinship, with economic activity, culture, individual and collective rights and economic security mediated through clan. Entitlement to resources, divisions of labour and authority came through social contract between and among clans (known as heer or xeer). Decision-making was through consensus amongst adult males, with all activity including conflict, subject to widely recognised norms of behaviour. The social structure remains heavily patriarchal despite the presence of highly educated women, many with time spent in the diaspora, involved in politics, civil society and business. After being a British protectorate since 1884, Somaliland became an independent country on June 26, 1960. The rest of present-day Somalia, then administered by Italy, became independent several days later.
