Somalia is a large country on the Horn of Africa at the mouth of the Red Sea. It shares borders with Djibouti, Kenya and Ethiopia. The country, created in 1960, comprises a former Italian colony and British protectorate.
There has been no central government in Somalia since President Siad Barre was overthrown in 1991.
The country has been divided up among clan-based groups.
IGAD, the Inter Governmental Authority on Development, helped facilitate a peace process, which led to the formation of a transitional Somali parliament and government. IGAD is the regional body comprising representatives from all states in the Horn and East Africa. At present the transitional government operates from Nairobi, the Kenyan capital. |
