Türkiye's mediation between Somalia and Ethiopia marks a significant advancement in conflict management in the Horn of Africa. The historic meeting hosted by Ankara last month aims to resolve decades-long tensions and showcases Türkiye's rising influence in global peace efforts. This approach, focusing on addressing the animosity between the two nations, contrasts with previous Western interventions focused on humanitarian aid or military action against Al-Shabab.
Türkiye's mediation between Somalia and Ethiopia is pivotal in resolving decades-long conflicts in the Horn of Africa, showcasing Ankara’s rising influence in global peace efforts.
This is key to what makes Türkiye’s approach unique. It operated on the premise that as long as animosity between the two African countries was present, there wouldn't be any firm, persistent solutions to the crisis.The continent currently suffers from more than 35 non-international armed conflicts, including in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Central African Republic , the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Mali, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan.
Somalia remains one of the most essential focal points of the post-Cold War international system. It was one of the first laboratories of the humanitarian intervention discourse that rose with the collapse of the Soviet Union. For the first time in 30 years Somali forces are directly in control of the country's southern border with Ethiopia and Kenya. This has a huge ramification on the geo- political and geo economic landscape on the horn of Africa.In 2005, the Islamic Courts Union, which had established a sphere of influence for itself, defeated the warlords in 2006 and declared its power in Somalia, which led to a new intervention by Ethiopia in the country.
Al Shabab in the Horn of Africa. The United Nations Office of Rule of Law and Security Institutions, established within the Department of Peace Operations, has a section under its mandate named disarmament, demobilisation, and reintegration.
