Abstract
The nearly collapsed system of governance in Somalia has culminated in a state of anarchy with ugly humanitarian repercussions, especially on innocent civilians. The geneses of the Somali conflict are territorial and political disputes exacerbated by foreign interventions in the conflict. Since the problem in Somalia is political and not military, the Somali crisis does not require a military solution. The solution to Somalia's problems is the Somalis themselves who should resolve their differences and end the conflagration in their country. As a minimum, three steps are necessary to resolve the crisis in Somalia: reconciliation, reconstruction and reassurance. To this end, the international community, particularly the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), has the responsibility to create a secure space for dialogue and reconciliation. To achieve this, there is a need for a carrot-and-stick approach whereby the insurgents are counselled on the damage they are causing to their own country and warned about the consequences of their activities.
