The paper argues that the role of civil society is critical in the process of state-building, especially in contexts where the state has failed or collapsed, as is the case in Somalia. Drawing on empirical data, the authors analyze the role of civil society in the reconstruction and reconstitution of the Somali state since the collapse of the Siad Barre regime in 1991.

Despite these challenges, the authors argue that civil society has played a crucial role in rebuilding the Somali state and that its continued engagement is necessary for sustainable s...

The relationship between youth unemployment and crime rates is complex and multifaceted, with significant social and economic stability implications. Banadir, as a microcosm of the broader challenges faced by Somalia, offers a pertinent case study to explore these dynamics. Through a combination of quantitative analysis and qualitative exploration, this research aims to uncover the extent to which youth unemployment contributes to crime rates in Banadir. The study draws on existing literature highlighting the potential connections between a lack of economic opportunities and criminal behavior, especially among youth. By employing statistical methods to analyze local unemployment rates and crime data, supplemented by interviews and surveys with community members, law enforcement, and young individuals, the study seeks to establish a comprehensive understand...

The historical background, including colonialism and the collapse of the state in 1991, has significantly influenced Somalia's governance challenges. Clan-based politics, security threats from extremist groups like AlShabaab, weak institutions, corruption, and socioeconomic disparities are significant obstacles to state-building. International actors like the United Nations and the African Union have supported state-building initiatives. However, challenges persist in establishing a solid central government, inclusive governance, and effective institutions. The study explores opportunities such as growing civil society, diaspora engagement, and regional cooperation, which can aid statebuilding efforts. The article emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach that addresses political divisions, fosters reconci...
