Somalia and the Conflict in Galkayo

The Mogadishu-based Heritage Institute for Policy Studies published in December 2016 a study titled "Gaalkacyo Conflict: Drivers, Contributors and Potential Solutions."

The study concludes there are three possible options for managing the Galkayo conflict. They include designating Galkayo a federally-administered city; a joint or agreed single administration for the city; and dividing Galkayo and the entire Mudug region into two regions. An end to the conflict in Galkayo is fundamental to solving the wider constitutional, land and resource-based issues in Somalia.

See comment, which notes that the Heritage Institute was not the author of this study.

South Sudan and the Way Forward

Jok Madut Jok, executive director of South Sudan's The Sudd Institute, published an analysis on 9 March 2013 titled "South Sudan: A Politics of Demise or a Vision for Progress?

He noted that South Sudan has made significant progress on establishing governmental institutions, reforming the military, structuring the public service, and improving healthcare and education.  But South Sudan also faces daunting challenges:  insecurity, economic woes resulting from discontinued oil production over disputes with Sudan, insufficient national cohesion, and lack of well-coordinated home-grown national development goals that include a clear road map.
