    NEW ISSUES IN REFUGEE RESEARCH Working Paper No. 65 Pastoral society and transnational refugees: population movements in Somaliland and eastern Ethiopia 1988 - 2000 Guido Ambroso UNHCR Brussels E-mail : [email protected] August 2002 Evaluation and Policy Analysis Unit Evaluation and Policy Analysis Unit United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees CP 2500, 1211 Geneva 2 Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] Web Site: www.unhcr.org These working papers provide a means for UNHCR staff, consultants, interns and associates to publish the preliminary results of their research on refugee-related issues. 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.

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’.

  • Chimwiini: Endangered Status and Syntactic Distinctiveness
    Chimwiini: Endangered Status and Syntactic Distinctiveness Brent Henderson University of Florida [email protected] Chimwiini is a highly endangered Bantu language, once spoken in the small town of Brava in Southern Somalia, but now spoken chiefly in refugee communities around the globe. Though often referred to as a dialect of Swahili, Chimwiini distinguishes itself strongly from standard Swahili at all levels of linguistics description. This paper presents the major factors that have led to Chimwiini’s endangered status and examines some of the syntactic structures that distinguish Chimwiini from Swahili. Le chimwiini est une langue sur le point de disparaître. Cette langue se parlait dans la ville de Brava au Sud de la Somalie, mais aujourd¹hui elle ne se parle dans le monde que dans les communautés de réfugiés. Bien que le chimwiini soit reconnu comme un dialecte du swahili, cette langue se distingue fortement du swahili standard sur tous les plans linguistiques. Cet article a pour but de présenter les facteurs principaux qui ont mené à la disparition progressive du Chimwiini, et examine en second lieu certaines structures syntaxiques qui distinguent le chimwiini du swahili. 0. INTRODUCTION This paper has two goals. The first is to report on the endangered status of Chimwiini, a Bantu language of southern Somalia often considered a dialect of Swahili. As I describe in section 2, Chimwiini has been transformed from the language of a small but stable group of speakers to a scattered and highly endangered language in only a few decades as a result of government policy and political turmoil. My second goal is to offer a preliminary report on some of the distinctive syntactic features of Chimwiini, when compared with the so-called Standard Swahili spoken in most of Kenya and Tanzania.

Mukhw Somalia has enjoyed a unique role in the history of African nationalism. As the only country in Africa whose population is vinually homogeneous, most speak a common language, all are Muslims and claim to be relaled to a common (or several common) distant ancestors. One might therefore expect thai its independence movement would have been more unified than those ofother African territories where tribal and regional differences came to be reflected in political party groupings after World War Il. Also Somalia was the only country to be partitioned seveml times: once at the end of the 19th century during the scramble for Africa and again in the 1940's following the break-up of the lIalian East African Empire. This would seem to have been another factor that unified Somalis in a sense ofcommon nationalism. However, the drive for Somali independence gave rise to not just one but several political parties. Were these panies based on regional or "tribal" differences of a particular Somali son? Did they have differtnt views ofSomali nationalism and self-government? These questions are difficuh to answer, not only because source materials are limited but also because one Somali party, the Somali Youth League (SYL), came to dominate the political scene in the 1950's and was the majority party at the time of Somali independence in 1960.

  • (I) the SOCIAL STRUCTUBE of Soumn SOMALI TRIB by Virginia I?
    (i) THE SOCIAL STRUCTUBE OF SOumN SOMALI TRIB by Virginia I?lling A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of London. October 197]. (ii) SDMMARY The subject is the social structure of a southern Somali community of about six thousand people, the Geledi, in the pre-colonial period; and. the manner in which it has reacted to colonial and other modern influences. Part A deals with the pre-colonial situation. Section 1 deals with the historical background up to the nineteenth century, first giving the general geographic and ethnographic setting, to show what elements went to the making of this community, and then giving the Geledj's own account of their history and movement up to that time. Section 2 deals with the structure of the society during the nineteenth century. Successive chapters deal with the basic units and categories into which this community divided both itself and the others with which it was in contact; with their material culture; with economic life; with slavery, which is shown to have been at the foundation of the social order; with the political and legal structure; and with the conduct of war. The chapter on the examines the politico-religious office of the Sheikh or Sultan as the focal point of the community, and how under successive occupants of this position, the Geledi became the dominant power in this part of Somalia. Part B deals with colonial and post-colonial influences. After an outline of the history of Somalia since 1889, with special reference to Geledi, the changes in society brought about by those events are (iii) described.
