Somalia has been plagued by instability
for most of its 45-year history. After more than fourteen
failed attempts at peace to build a new central government,
the current (2002-2005) National Reconciliation and Peace
Process, Somalia is still fractured. Multiple militias make
the capital, Mogadishu and several key regional centers,
insecure. However, there is great pressure to succeed at
peace this time. Negotiations of differences continue and
self-help is evident. The transition to a new central
government is a fluctuating work in progress. Continued
existence of an estimated 53,000 militia constrains state
building and sets the requirement for (Disarmament,
Demobilization and Reintegration) DDR. The usual application
of the DDR concept does not fit Somalia's unique
situation in regard to militias. Few will be totally
disarmed and important types of militia probably will not be
disbanded. Many militiamen do not need to be reintegrated
into their home communities, as they are already by the very
nature of the fighting, already a part of their home
community. New concepts and terms for such a DDR plan are
needed to tackle this issue. Some ideas are suggested in
this status paper, but more work needs to be done. Also, new
planning and concepts are needed for a national DDR program.
This is especially true for the capital of Mogadishu, and a
contingency plan for the city specifically is recommended. |
