Somalia: The Roots of Reconciliation – Peace Making Endeavours of Contemporary Lineage Leaders: A Survey of Grassroots Peace Conferences in ‘Somaliland’.

This survey of the northern peace conferences took a period of four months to complete. It started in June 1993 in London with two weeks review of the literature. The bulk of the recently produced relevant material was found to be prescriptive and based mostly on superficial quick studies, or dilating upon the causes of the crisis. Shortage of reliable and in-depth sociological data of recent origin became apparent from the literature survey. This influenced the decision to use I.M. Lewis (1961) “A Pastoral Democracy” as a point of departure, and to undertake field survey.
