The main objective of this Research Paper was to establish the factors that have hampered resolution of Somalia conflict; to establish the effect of the interest of Kenya and Ethiopia in the Somalia conflict; and to identify strategies that can lead to peace in Somalia considering the interest of Kenya and Ethiopia. The study employed qualitative approach and sought to cover the exploratory and descriptive elements of the research process. The first part of the study gives a background of conflict management efforts in Somalia. The second part provides details of the challenges in the management of Somali conflict, it covers the factors that hamper conflict resolution in Somalia. In the third part, the paper delves in the analysis of the interest of Kenya and Ethiopia in Somalia, it highlights the history of the modern Somali conflict, the justification of Kenya’s involvement in the Somali conflict, a multi-faceted approach in addressing national interest and the contemporary intervention in Somalia. Lastly, the fourth part of the paper presents a critical analysis of the involvement of Kenya and Ethiopia in the management of Somalia Conflict. The findings of the study reveal that conflicts in one country spreads and, thus affects other nations in one way or another. It was also revealed that resolution of Somali conflict requires a multi-faceted approach with the involvement of external actors. The involvement of Kenya and Ethiopia was also revealed to be marred with certain interest that may hinder conflict resolution in Somalia. The study recommends that there is need for the involvement of external actors with no other interest other that regional stability in the quest to resolving the conflict in Somalia. v Table of

  • Proxy Wars: the Intrigues Leading to Kenya's Invasion of Somalia,Trust
    The Invisible Clan: Is Somalia Ready for a Women’s Revolution? By Rasna Warah To my daughter I will say, ‘When the men come, set yourself on fire’. –Warsan Shire The gang rape and murder of 12-year-old Aisha Ilyas Adan, whose body was found outside her family’s house in the town of Galkayo in central Somalia last month, has galvanised Somali women to fight against a vice that has often been described as a “normalised” epidemic. Under the hashtag #WeAreNotSafe, Somali activists are demanding that the authorities take rape cases more seriously. Rape is one of the unspoken taboos in war-torn Somali society that few in the international development community, and Somalis themselves, have been reluctant to confront – even though it has become a constant feature of Somali women’s lives since the collapse of the Somali state in 1991. Anarchy and lawlessness have embedded a culture of violence that allow men to rape with impunity. Women paid a double price during Somalia’s civil war: not only were they expected to become breadwinners, they also became casualties of conflicts as clans fought each other for supremacy and as the country’s institutions collapsed. Rape was often used as a weapon of war. A survey by Trust Law, a project of the Thomson Reuters Foundation, has stated that Somalia is one of the worst places in the world to be a woman. Most rapes in Somalia go unreported and unpunished. The few women who dare to report their cases to the authorities face a hostile audience.

In the end, though each of these political set-ups fray just before or soon after the election as is currently being witnessed through the 2020/2021 electoral cycle. As Pauline Otieno-Skaper, moderator Mr Peter Chonka, Mahad Wasuge of Somali Public Agenda, and Islamic Finance Expert Dr Issa elaborate, this may just prove to be the country’s eternal posture of agility, dynamism, and deal-making.

Somalia: Let My People Vote - Part I By The Elephant When former prime minister Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo was elected president of the Federal Government of Somalia in 2017, many lauded his victory. Unlike his predecessors, Farmaajo was viewed as a leader who would unite the country because he had a nationalistic mindset and was someone who was not influenced by clan interests. Many believed that, unlike his predecessor, Hassan Sheikh, whose tenure was marred by corruption allegations and in-fighting, he would bring together a country that has remained fragmented along clan lines and endured internal conflicts for decades. He was also perceived to be someone who would address corruption that has been endemic in every Somali government since the days of President Siad Barre.

About FPRI’s Program on National Security The end of the Cold War ushered in neither a period of peace nor prolonged rest for the United States military and other elements of the national security community. The 1990s saw the U.S. engaged in Iraq, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, and numerous other locations. The first decade of the 21st century likewise has witnessed the reemergence of a state of war with the attacks on 9/11 and military responses (in both combat and non-combat roles) globally. While the United States remains engaged against foes such as al-Qa`ida and its affiliated movements, other threats, challengers, and opportunities remain on the horizon.
