Author: Academy for Peace and Development
Abstract
Inter-clan conflicts in Sool are situated in a highly politicized environment where various actors often intervene with conflict resolution processes. These external actors include the federal government of Somalia, Puntland, informal radical groups such as Al-Shabab and ISIS and clan-based militia (who have fought both Somaliland and Puntland government).
