Two talks on Somalia

Yesterday, I spoke twice on Somalia at an event in New York co-sponsored by the New York Center for Conflict Dialogue, Transitional Trade, and the Association of the Bar of the City of New York Committee on African Affairs. Another one of the speakers was H.E. Dr. Elmi A. Duale, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, representative for Somalia to the UN, and the event was very well attended (more than 100 people, including at least one GW alum). The transcripts to my talks can be found below:

1. The Current Situation in Somalia (transcript)
2. An Evaluation of U.S. Policy toward Somalia (transcript 2)
