This thesis aims to explore the peace building initiatives that Somalia implemented after the 1990 conflict. Protracted conflict and instability have plagued Somalia since the collapse of the central government in 1991. The paper will examine the objectives and strategies of peace building initiatives, identify the primary challenges and problems encountered in the post-conflict period, and analyze the conflict's background. A case book approach will be used to examine specific peace-building efforts in Somalia. The thesis will also review relevant literature on post-conflict peace-building and provide a justification for the importance of this research.
This study delves into the primary obstacles and prospects associated with reconstructing a stable and tranquil society in the wake of conflict, utilizing pertinent literature and case studies. Despite the protracted civil war that has persisted for decades, the post-conflict peace building processes in Somalia have been a challenge. The objective of this research is to investigate the numerous factors that have impeded the successful implementation of peace building strategies in Somalia and to propose potential solutions to the issues. Case research examines the effectiveness of various peace building interventions implemented in Somalia. The results of this book will enhance the current body of literature on post-conflict peace building and offer policymakers, practitioners, and researchers within comparable contexts valuable insights.
This thesis also seeks to investigate the obstacles and prospects of post-conflict peace building in Somalia, with a particular emphasis on the government, external actors, the United Nations, the African Union, and the Islamic Group in promoting sustainable peace. The United Nations, African Union, and the Islamic Group are essential in the restoration of stability and the establishment of sustainable peace in war-torn regions. One such region facing significant peace building challenges is Somalia. This study investigates the post-conflict peace building process in Somalia, with a particular emphasis on the actors and significant events that are involved in the pursuit of peace.
