Finding Peace in Somalia – the Galkaio ‘local’ agreement

Online

Galkaio town represents a boundary on the ground and in the imagination within Somali society. The 1993 Peace Accord held a fragile peace for many years as political and developmental trajectories differed markedly on either side of this border town. This talk, hosted by the Conflict Research Programme, explores the 2016/17 peace agreement, in its local and national dimensions, and which occurred as part of the state-building project that is still ongoing in Somalia and offers insights on the quality of international intervention.

This article identifies the performance of militarized masculinities as an understudied mechanism that does so.
