Somalia

Somalia’s issues of tribal warfare is a perfect example the kind of threat an “Us vs Them” mentality has towards community. As people start to value their groups over the well being of everyone then they all end up suffering. Somalia’s have been fighting against their own people allowing their country to go to ruins and now it's hard to come back from this kind of disparity, so the problem goes on.

Somalia, which is about the size of Texas, is a small country located in Eastern Africa next to the Indian Ocean. The United States, which is located on the Western Hemisphere, is bordered by Mexico and Canada and is between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Separated not only by the Atlantic Ocean, Somalia and the United States are also separated by the differences in economies and populations. These two countries that are quite opposite in size have some similarities in their governments and education systems.

Military regimes that favor Islamic-situated governments have controlled national politics since Sudan gained freedom from Anglo-Egyptian co-rule in 1956. Sudan was entangled in two post-independence civil war amid the greater part of the rest of the twentieth century. These wars were based on the northern Muslims, Arabs economic, political, and social control of the more largely populated non-Muslim, non-Arab southern Sudanese. The first war ended with the 1972 Addis Ababa Agreement, which granted significant regional autonomy to southern Sudan on internal issues. (CIA 2015)

With the absence of Mohamed Siad Barre, the country had no proper government to run it. Faction groups started forming in Somalia to take control. In 1992, there was killing and starvation in the south of Somalia (Global Security 1). The U.N. sends peacekeeping operations into Somalia. In addition, the United States started sending troops into Somalia. In 1994, there was too much casualties in Somalia, so the U.S. soldiers withdrew from Somalia with the problems still unsolved (Phil Stewart 1).

Some observers say that the Somalians pirates are usually poor folks trying to get their fortune back (Ishaan Tharoor

Somalia has had a long and variegated history, marked by the rise and fall of Empire. Beginning in the late 19th century, the major Western imperial powers began to occupy and divide Somali territory, which is located in the Horn of Africa. The independent Republic of Somalia was formed in 1960 when the British and the Italians withdrew. But though the foreign powers had left, there remained an important reminder of the oppression of imperialism: the state. Beginning in the 7th century, the Somali tribes in the Horn of Africa had developed a complex oral legal system, which operated in a polycentric way: that is, it guaranteed the autonomy of the different Somali clans without any unifying state actor. Yet at the same time, this system, the Xeer, allowed room for conflict resolution and restitution. As a result, the culture of independence among the Somalis meant that one tribe would never be content to be ruled by another—the transitional government created strife as each tribe sought to use it as a means to control the others. In 1991, the Somalis took apart their government and began their modern period of semi-anarchy (with the remnants of the government being propped up by an international coalition desperate to impose their imperialistic mindset on the indigenous culture)—which was also marked with a resurgence of extra-governmental conflict resolution

Located on the Horn of Africa, Somalia is a small country colonized in the late 1880s by Britain, Italy and France. In the 1960s, Somalia gained its independence but remained a very unstable place. In 1969, a group overthrew the government and Mohammed Siad Barre, the general of the group, became Somalia’s president and dictator until 1991.

Somalia also known as Federal Republic of Somalia, it’s located on the northwestern part of Africa, it’s capital is mogadishu and is also is the most populated city.

This Civil War lasted for a time of 1988 to 1992. The most dangerous years of this Civil War considered being “throughout 1991 through 1993 because of the high mortality and starvation rate throughout the country” (Leslie P. Boss, Michael J. Toole, and Ray Yip). This country was currently in a state of chaos and was greatly in need of foreign assistance. It was the duty of the United States to support the Somali people and start to set their country straight. Throughout this period of American support to help restructure the country plenty of operations have been set to enforce the peaceful changes. Some of these military operations are Operation Provide Relief, Operation Restore Hope, Operation Continue Hope, and Operation United Shield. Operation Provide Relief was created because of the continuing efforts of the American people trying to airlift food to the Somali people. This operation was destroyed because local gangs throughout the country of Somalia took control of the airlifted food and used the food as a currency throughout the torn country. These penalties led to the “starvation of thousands and the manipulation of the Somali people” (Stewart). Due to this cycle of constant overlapping chaos Operation Restore Hope began. Operation Restore Hopes main mission was to send troops on the ground in Somalia and ensure all people of Somalia were fed. Operation Continue Hope was created due to more aggressive

With the discovery of certain human fossils, some being over 3 million years old, many paleontologists believe that Kenya was the “cradle of humanity.” Currently, Kenya’s population is comprised of over 97 percent of people of African descent with nearly 40 ethnic groups. Lying on the equator between Ethiopia, Sudan, and Uganda, Kenya is located on the eastern coast of Africa.

From 1960, when Somalia got its independence, Somalia Republic was a constitutional democratic state with a constitution approved by a referendum. From 1960 to 1969, the constitution got rid of a civilian, legislative governance structure and protected human rights under the rule of two consecutive and democratically-voted governments. In 1969, bloodless military takeover took place and suspended the constitution. As a result of the oppressive rule of Siyad , there was massive dissatisfaction and revolt locally and also minimum participation of the global community in resolving the disaster that was building up in the country.
