Ever since the collapse of the Siad Barre regime in 1991, Somalia has been ravaged by internal civil war and turmoil. This culminated in the balkanisation of Somalia into self-proclaimed autonomous regions as well as the unrecognised Somaliland State. Numerous conflict resolution initiatives by internal and external actors, aimed at salvaging Somalia from its status, have remained elusive. The 2005 agreement brokered by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, involving stakeholders and most of the players in the conflict, provides the best hope for the reconstruction and restoration of legitimate authority in Somalia.
