Active Minds: Somalia

Somalia’s history is a story of Colonialism yielding to authoritarianism dissolving into anarchy. Chaos has reigned since the early 1990’s with rampant wars between rival clans, with no functional government in charge.

Join Active Minds as we examine Somalia’s troubled path and where it may be leading.
