State of Somalia 2019

The Mogadishu-based-Heritage Institute for Policy Studies just published its State of Somalia Report 2019. It focuses on the main developments and key trends in politics, security, economy, social services, and the role of external actors throughout 2019.

During 2019, the political situation was characterized by major upheavals and a deepening rift between the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) and the Federal Member States. Talks between Somaliland and the FGS remained frozen.
