Saving Somalia (Again)
In early May 2015, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry made a
historic but little noticed visit to Somalia, a country no other U.S. secretary
of state had ever visited. His trip symbolized both how far Somalia has come—from
the blackest days of civil war, clan infighting, and famine in the 1990s; to
the brutal rule of the jihadi group al Shabab in the late 2000s; to something
getting closer to normal now—and how very far it still has to go.
The fact that a high U.S. official could enter the country
at all speaks of real security improvements. During his visit, moreover, Kerry
announced the reopening of a U.S. embassy in Somalia, which had been closed
since 1991 when the government of long-term dictator Siad Barre collapsed. But
the fact that Kerry’s visit was a brief few hours—during which he did not even
leave the heavily-guarded Mogadishu airport—also points to deep and persistent
security challenges. Read More

Nadifa Mohamed: Somaliland Born Rising Author
Born in Hargeisa, a city in the north of what was then
Somalia, she was four years old when her family relocated to London, where they
remained when civil war broke out in their homeland shortly thereafter. It was
an experience she described as “a rupture of everything I’d known… going to
school for the first time in a completely different environment knowing that
the world I did know was lost in quite a big way was very traumatic.”
In 2013 she released her second novel, The Orchard of
Lost Souls. The book is set in 1987 Somalia, in the northern city of
Hargeisa on the eve of the civil war which would devastate and fragment the
country. The events leading up to the outbreak of civil war are experienced
from the perspective of three female protagonists – Kawsar, Deqo, and Filsan –
but the events and characters that populate the novel are based on dozens of
interviews, in addition to considerable archival research, that Mohamed
conducted as she developed the book. Having studied history at Oxford, this
part of the work came naturally to her. Read Full Article
