"Somalia is looking for unification"

Somalia was again the target of a car bomb attack on Saturday, December 28. At least 76 people died and more than 70 others were injured. Mogadishu, the Somali capital, is regularly targeted by the Islamist insurgency of the Shebab who were expelled from it in 2011.

Jean-Claude Félix-Tchicaya, researcher at the Prospective and Security Institute of Europe, explains on France 24 that the Shebab reign by terror, but they also gain influence through the political and economic demands of the population.

In a country which has the greatest difficulty in finding stability, the fight against a clan state of mind and the unification of the country could be a vector of stabilization, according to him.
