The August 2026 issue of Africa Spectrum includes an "Introduction to the Special Issue: Giving in Somali Diaspora Humanitarianism in Africa" by Nauja Kleist and Mark Bardbury.
The articles in this special issue of Africa Spectrum demonstrate that Somali diaspora humanitarian engagement is continuously evolving and comes in many forms. It is influenced by gender, generation, educational background, and socio-economic circumstances.
The issue is unique in that it focuses on the Somali diaspora in a number of African countries and not the diaspora in North America or Europe.
