The Horn of Africa (HOA) is one of the
most underdeveloped regions on earth. It is also one of the
most conflict-ridden, insecure regions in the world. While
Africa as a whole has enjoyed a trend in recent years toward
reduction and termination of many of its civil wars, the HOA
is the exception to the rule. Indeed, the region's
prolonged armed conflicts have spread, engulfing several
neighboring states in warfare and partial state collapse.
While aspects of the HOA case are obviously unique, and
sensitivity to context and complexity must be privileged in
both analysis of and policy toward the Horn, the
region's crises are not so distinct that they preclude
useful comparative analysis. This paper considers conflict
dynamics across the entire Horn of Africa, but devotes
special attention to the case of Somalia which, because of
the depth, length, and significance of its crisis, is a
source of particular international concern. Because
Somalia's crisis has been so protracted and has gone
through several very distinct phases, it provides an
opportunity to compare conflict dynamics in a single country
over time. |
