State collapse and post-conflict development in Africa : the case of Somalia (1960-2001) by Abdullah A Mohamoud
"Mohamoud (of SAHAN, an academic research and consulting agency which conducts policy oriented research in Africa and elsewhere) argues that the reasons for the fragmentation of the Somali state can only be understood through a long historical approach that takes into account the harsh material environment and the subsistence pastoral mode of existence, as well as past colonial divisions, Cold War geopolitics, decades of armed struggles, and the post-colonial crisis of governance.
