Policy

Na de val van president Siad Barre in 1991 is Somalië in chaos gedompeld. Verschillende autoriteiten hebben elkaar sinds 2000 opgevolgd. Somaliland en Puntland zijn in de jaren ‘90 de facto onafhankelijk geworden van de federale staat Somalië. De algemene veiligheidssituatie in Somalië wordt grotendeels bepaald door een langdurig aanslepend intern gewapend conflict, waardoor zeer veel Somaliërs intern ontheemd zijn of hun toevlucht genomen hebben in het buitenland. Voor de beoordeling van de nood aan internationale bescherming houdt de commissaris-generaal er rekening mee dat er fundamentele verschillen bestaan tussen de situatie in Mogadishu, Centraal- en Zuid-Somalië enerzijds en de situatie in de Somaliland en Puntland anderzijds.
