This paper examines the dearth of the contemporary international and national intervention in building legitimate and capable state in Somalia, and provides possible policy recommendations. To this end, qualitative data collected through in-depth interview, observation and document
review was used for this analysis. The finding of this study reveals that the multiplicity of local, national and international actors with divergence interest at all levels has resulted in the formation of flawed state and fragmented security forces. In addition, lacks of inclusiveness, absence of legitimate reconciliation and restorative justice have attributed to a gloomy state building. Hence, this paper suggests that
grass-root reconciliation and restorative justice, as a means to building confidence and trust among the communities, has to be the center to the building of functional state and security institutions. Various actors operating in Somalia at all levels should also reconcile their divergent interest towards the needs and benefits of the Somali people.
