The Horn of Africa: From chaos, political renewal?

In: Current history: a journal of contemporary world affairs, Band 90, Heft 556, S. 221-224

Abstract

Political order in the Horn of Africa degenerated further into chaos in 1990, intensifying the desperate economic circumstances of most of the region's citizens. The author explores the politics of pragmatism in Ethiopia, prospects for the resolution of the civil wars in Somalia, the collapse of the Siad Barre regime in January 1991 and the deepening and seemingly irreconcilable division between the largely Muslim and Arabic-speaking north and the southern part of Sudan.
