Land Conflict in Somalia

 The Rift Valley Institute and the Somalia Stability Fund published a major study in December 2021 titled "Land Conflict in Somalia."

Land conflict in Somalia is shaped by--and has shaped--the historical trajectory of the country.  In particular, the land management and agricultural development policies of the Siad Barre regime continue to influence some of the current dynamics of land conflict in Somalia.

A critical challenge in designing an appropriate framework for land conflict transformation in Somalia is the system of legal pluralism that currently characterizes land governance and management.
