Basic Info

   The country now known as Somali wasn’t always a major pirate country. In late 1800’s to mid 1900’s Somalia used to be a stable country. It all changed when Italy and Britain were fighting over Somali or “Somaliland” as it used to be called. After WWII the Italians had control of Somalia. In early 1950’s the Somali citizens revolted against the Italian government. Later in 1991 the Somali government collapses and sends the whole country into civil war. The cause and effect of the war was two warlords wanted control over Somalia, and the effect was the war caused a country-wide famine.

History Of The Conflict

   The Somali piracy problem hasn’t always been as high as it is right now. In the early 1950’s the land now known as Somalia was originally a protectorate of Britain called Somaliland. The citizens of present day Somalia rebelled and gained independence from Britain in late 1956. But before they rebelled against Britain they had to fight of the Italians and British caused by an on and of war against the two powers. In 1981 a group of Isaaq immigrants living in London formed the Somali National Movement was later to become the leading insurgent group in Somalia. All the Somali National Movement tried to accomplish was to impeach Siad Barre’s dictator ship. It was three years later that the ex-spokesman went insane and declared war on another warlord.The citizens also had a democratically elected government. The citizens elected Abdi Rashid Ali Shermarke as president (www.bbc.co.uk).
