Complex Solutions to Local Problems (Paperback)

Paperback. Explores the Indigenous alternative solutions to the conflict in Somalia that were available prior to the African Unions peacekeeping operation.This book examines Indigenous alternative solutions to the conflict in Somalia that were available prior to the African Unions (AU) peacekeeping operation AMISOM. Bearing the long-standing stalemate with Al-Shabaab, this book contends that the AU should retrace its steps and utilise these Indigenous approaches else it would lose out in a protracted war. AMISOM was a product of the extremely biased mainstream/Western narrative that has done great harm on the continent. So it is high time Africans tell their story of what the issues really are and encourage its IGOs to do the same in addressing issues on the continent, Somalia inclusive. The Single Story Thesis was the method of analysis adopted for this book. This book questions the dominant narrative used in stereotyping Africa and the status of Al-Shabaab in Somalias quest for peace.
