This week, we delve into the background to the ongoing civil war in Somalia. We seek to understand the country's complex history and the present-day challenges and efforts to achieving peace.
As the country prepares for critical upcoming elections and a major transition in its electoral and parliamentary system, we discuss the implications. And as always, we consider where our intentions and prayers might be focused to look forward to a brighter future for a much troubled country, in which good governance, economic growth, and security can flourish.
Suggested intention focus
This week, as there appears to be some hope for progress in improving governance, economic growth and security in Somalia, we suggest as our special focus for intention:
We will that the Somali government will be guided in its determination of relations with Somaliland, and in its response to insurgent attacks.
