Abstract

2019 marks 28 years since the central government in Somalia collapsed, however, even today, subsequent generations of those who experienced the collapse continue to suffer its consequences. Relative to its prolonged manifestation, the crisis in Somalia remains a difficult one to forget given the continued internal suffering and external threat that it poses. Purposefully, this article will attempt to contribute to the existing peace efforts by adding the role of community/clan social contract in the peace process. The previous peace efforts prioritized state -building and establishing a central government without examining the attitude of people towards a central authority given their experiences and how the clans relate to each other. We argue that the complexity of the conflict in Somalia is due to the transformation of the conflict from a civil war to a chaotic mixture of clan-based violence, terrorism, and piracy. To solve this problem, we recommend a two-level social contract approach that will be people driven and address some of the major grievances of key actors through a constitutional process.

Özet

Somali'de yaşanan çatışma, en son aşamasında kanlı bir iç savaşın terörle mücadeleye dönüşmeye başlamasından bu yana otuz yıla yaklaşmaktadır. 1991'de ortaya çıkan çatışmanın yıkıcı etkilerini üç kuşak deneyimlemeye devam etmektedir. Sayısız barışı sağlama çabasına rağmen, uzun süren çatışmanın üstesinden gelmede çok az başarı sağlandığı görülmektedir. Mevcut literatür, çatışmanın ana nedeni olarak kabile kimliğinin ve zayıf yönetişimin rolünü vurgulamaktadır, ancak sürdürülebilir barış inşası çabalarını sağlamada yetersiz kalmaktadır. Bu makale, Somali'nin vatandaşlarını bir millet olarak birbirine bağlayan ve hükümetle ilişkilerini güçlendiren bağlarını çoktan yitirdiğini göstermektedir. Böylelikle makale, insanlar arasında ve insanlar ile hükümet arasındaki sosyal sözleşmeyi canlandırmak için daha detaylı çaba sarf edilmesini önermektedir. Yeni bir anayasal muafiyete dayalı olarak önerilen iki aşamalı sosyal sözleşme, yalnızca insanlara yönelik değil; aynı zamanda kilit aktörlerin kökleşmiş şikayetlerinin bir kısmını da anayasal bir süreç aracılığıyla ele almalıdır.
