The Security Sector and State Building in Somalia

The Washington-based Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars published in August 2014 an analysis titled "The Hybridization of Security Sector Governance for Peace-Building and State-Building in Somalia" by Daniel Kebede, a PhD candidate at Addis Ababa University. 

The paper argues for the use of hybridized security governance to consolidate peace and state building in Somalia and suggests how neighboring countries and the international community might support Somali efforts to preserve peace.  It proposes that the Somali Federal Government decentralize security sector governance and integrate traditional justice systems and local militia into the governance structure with well articulated roles and a system of accountability.
