[Publication] External actors in stateless Somalia: A war economy and its promoters
- External actors in stateless Somalia: A war economy and its promoters
- The overall aim of this paper is to provide an understanding of the role external actors play in Somalia’s war economy. To achieve this, the study will take a close look at the impact of international economic agents; that is, individuals, groups of people, corporations and institutions based outside of a conflict zone but supporting conflict parties through economic interaction. The emphasis will be on corporations which trade with conflict parties, as well as on foreign armed forc...
[Publication] The scarcity of land in Somalia. Natural resources and their role in the Somali conflict
- The scarcity of land in Somalia. Natural resources and their role in the Somali conflict
- A historical perspective, as proposed by this Occasional Paper, might illuminate one of the underlying roots of conflict and state failure and might also help address central problems to conflict resolution in Somalia. It is the thesis of this Paper that in the fertile riverine areas of southern Somalia, natural resources and especially land have become a key driver of armed conflict. By looking at the current conflict from a historical perspective and by considering co...

[Project] The Role of External Actors in civil war economies in Sub-Saharan Africa
- Since 2003, a research programme at BICC on so-called war economies has aimed to shed light on the specific impact of external economic actors, a diverse group that includes multinationals, (neighbouring) countries, private persons, local firms, etc. on the conflict situation. One of the guiding questions was what constitutes a war economy, and how its structural features differ from a 'normal' situation. Subject to analysis were countries and regions in Sub-Sahara Africa, where a vast number of...

[Publication] Demobilising and disengaging violent extremists: Towards a new UN framework
Stability: International Journal of Security and Development
- First and second generation programmes of Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR), are no longer ‘fit for purpose’ in contexts of violent extremism. Recognising this, voices from within the United Nations (UN) system have recently called for the development of a practice framework combining DDR and Countering Violent Extremism (CVE). Drawing on examples from Nigeria and Somalia, this commentary outlines six issue areas where DDR and CVE overlap, and where further operati...
[Publication] Intersecting (im)mobilities in the context of drought, hunger and conflict – Reflections inspired by research in Kenya
International Migration
- Between late 2020 and early 2023, people in the Horn of Africa experienced the worst drought in more than 40 years, of which the world hardly took notice. By the end of 2022, almost 57 million people across eight countries faced a severe food crisis. While Kenya was not the country worst affected in terms of the number of people impacted—the highest level of food insecurity was recorded in Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan and Somalia—the situation there dete-riorated most rapidly over t...

[Publication] Competing aspirations and contestations at Isiolo International Airport, Kenya
Contested Airport Land
- The large-scale infrastructure of Isiolo International Airport has created contestation between the developers and nomadic pastoral communities. While these nomadic pastoralists (Borana, Turkana, Somali, and Samburu) are the principal inhabitants of Isiolo, some agriculturalists – the Meru ethnic communities – also live in the region. The airport project created controversy between these ethnic groups over land, giving rise to economic anticipation, land speculation, and alienation – selling of ...
