explore the challenges of federalism in Somalia. The perspectives and
opportunities. After two years of comparative analysis in Kenya, Somalia picked
interest in federalism as a way forward for developing the country in 2004 with
the aid of international community. The establishment of Somali federalism began
in 2012, with President Hassan Sheikh and his Ministry of the Interior had
successfully established four Regional states, namely: Galmudug, Hirshabeelle,
South West and Jubba land, while Puntland and Somali land had already been
established and administered their own affairs. Unlike other federal system in
the world, Somalia has adopted a federal system in order to meet the needs of
the clans.
The study used both
qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate the research questions, so the
findings of the study revealed that the majority of respondents had a negative
attitude towards the opportunities of federalism in Somalia, while they had a
positive attitude towards the challenges. The study found that, challenges
faced by federalism in Somalia were higher than the opportunities afforded by
federalism.
