This and the next chapter (chapter 9) deal with inter-regional conflicts between the study regions and their neighbours. The federal restructuring carried out by dismantling the old unitary structure of the country led to territorial and boundary disputes. Unlike the older federations created by the union of independent units, which among other things have stable boundaries, creating a federation through federal restructuring leads to controversies and in some cases to violent conflicts. In the Ethiopian case, violent conflicts accompany the process of intra-federal boundary making. Inter-regional boundaries that divide the Somali region from its neighbours (Oromia and Afar) are ill defined and there are violent conflicts along these borders. In some cases, resource conflicts involving Somali, Afar and Oromo clans transformed into more protracted boundary and territorial conflicts. As will be discussed in this chapter, inter-regional boundary making also led to the re-examination of ethnic identity.

  • Traditional Authority, Livestock Trading, and Maritime Piracy in Northern Somalia∗
    Security in the Absence of a State: Traditional Authority, Livestock Trading, and Maritime Piracy in Northern Somalia∗ Avidit Acharya† Robin Harding‡ J. Andrew Harris§ March 19, 2020 Abstract Without a strong state, how do institutions emerge to limit the impact of one group's predation on another's economic activities? Motivated by the case of northern Somalia, we develop a model that highlights the monitoring challenges that groups face in making cooperation self-enforcing, and two key factors that influence their likelihood of overcoming this challenge: the ratio of economic interests across productive and predatory sectors, and the existence of informal income-sharing institutions. Our model explains why conflicts between pirates and livestock traders can be resolved in the region of Somaliland, where the ratio of economic interests favors the productive sector and traditional institutions promote income sharing between groups, but not in the region of Puntland, where these conditions do not hold. The model also accounts for several of the empirical patterns in the relationships between piracy, livestock exports, and conflict in both regions. ∗We are grateful to Dawud Abdirahman, Ben Ansell, Bob Bates, Oeindrila Dube, Clare Elder, Jim Fearon, Michihiro Kandori, David Laitin, Jacob Shapiro, Takuo Sugaya, Michael Tiernay, and audiences at APSA, the Univ. of Chicago, MPSA, Oxford, the Univ. of Rochester, Stanford, and UCLA for valuable feedback. †Associate Professor of Political Science, Stanford University, Encina Hall West Rm. 406, Stanford CA 94305-6044 (email: [email protected]). ‡Associate Professor of Government, University of Oxford, Lady Margaret Hall, Norham Gardens, Oxford OX2 6QA, UK (email: [email protected]).

The papers do not represent the official views of UNHCR. They are also available online under ‘publications’ at <www.unhcr.org>. ISSN 1020-7473 Introduction The classical definition of refugee contained in the 1951 Refugee Convention was ill- suited to the majority of African refugees, who started fleeing in large numbers in the 1960s and 1970s. These refugees were by and large not the victims of state persecution, but of civil wars and the collapse of law and order. Hence the 1969 OAU Refugee Convention expanded the definition of “refugee” to include these reasons for flight. Furthermore, the refugee-dissidents of the 1950s fled mainly as individuals or in small family groups and underwent individual refugee status determination: in-depth interviews to determine their eligibility to refugee status according to the criteria set out in the Convention. The mass refugee movements that took place in Africa made this approach impractical. As a result, refugee status was granted on a prima facie basis, that is with only a very summary interview or often simply with registration - in its most basic form just the name of the head of family and the family size.1 In the Somali context the implementation of this approach has proved problematic.

  • Immigration Appeal Tribunal Determination and Reasons
    ar MM (Risk-Return-Tuni) Somalia CG [2003] UKIAT 00129 IMMIGRATION APPEAL TRIBUNAL Date of Hearing : 3 October 2003 Date Determination notified: 04 November 2003 ……… Before: Mr P R Lane (Chairman) Mrs M L Roe Mr N Kumar, JP APPELLANT and Secretary of State for the Home Department RESPONDENT Representation For the appellant : Mr R. Blackford, counsel, instructed by Pearson & Winston For the respondent : Miss A. Holmes, Home Office Presenting Officer DETERMINATION AND REASONS 1. The appellant, a citizen of Somalia, appeals with leave against the determination of an Adjudicator, Mr C.B. Buckwell, sitting at Bromley, in which he dismissed on asylum and human rights grounds the appellant's appeal against the decision of the respondent to refuse his asylum claim and grant him only limited leave (which has in fact now expired). 2. The appellant's account was as follows. He said he was a member of the Tunni clan, living in Hamarwyne, Mogadishu, Somalia. He had suffered ill-treatment as a result of his membership of the Tunni clan, His brother had been killed. The family had attempted to relocate to the 1 coastal area in 1993 but had not been made welcome and thus returned to Somalia. 3. The appellant said that he was a businessman, selling goods from a shop. He had to pay protection money to bandits or ‘Mooryaan’ who particularly preyed upon minority clans whom the bandits knew ‘have no protection or help from their clans or from the majority clans’ (statement of 2 July 2002). 4 In that statement the appellant said that ‘At the beginning of this year [2002] I have to sell the shop, as I was no longer able to keep it under these conditions, I even sold it cheaper than the normal price in order to sell it quickly’.
