their efforts have been successful; they have also made some mistakes along the way. Canada’s efforts within the last 60 years include the Suez Crisis in 1956, the United Nations Mission for Rwanda from 1993 to 1996 and United Nations Operation in Somalia in 1992. One of Canada’s first and most successful efforts to improve its peacekeeping reputation was their peacekeeping mission during the Suez Crisis that occurred in October 1956 (“Suez Crisis.”). The Suez Crisis was a battle…

of Somalia as a “lost cause” is inaccurate and that another intervention, under the new guidelines and current international law, could be successful in restoring Somalia as a state. These guidelines are effectively antithetical to the previous core principles, with a focus on increased involvement over a longer period of time for both peacekeeping and development purposes (Stupart, 2011). It is possible that, with an international community concerned with R2P, future intervention in Somalia may…

their background. It’s essential for individuals and governments to learn the history of the different groups in society to gain more knowledge and understanding of those groups and find ways to assimilate them into the wider society. Before 1991, Somalia was one of the most powerful countries in Africa militarily and economically but when the central government was overthrown the country slipped into chaos. The civil war the followed the collapse of the central government forced millions of…

that fear. Hobbes says that we need a Social Contract to establish political authority. I agree that Thomas Hobbes some people need a social contrast. For example, where I come from Somalia used to be one of the best nation in Africa because there was only one authority that was ruling the nation, and every Somalia person will tell you that at that moment it was great time, however Somalian people try to look for democratic system because of differences interest Somali is the worst place to…

Reign of Terror In Africa: Taking a closer look at Africa’s most active terrorist groups Terrorism is one of a number of security challenges facing some African countries. It is often associated with other security challenges, including armed robbery, trafficking of all kinds and money laundering. Terrorism is designed to create an environment of fear in society and enhance the feeling of instability in a country. More importantly, terrorism serves to highlight the relative weaknesses of the…

foreign policy, one of Trump’s priorities is to make major changes in the immigration policy. The profound effects of Trump’s actions on immigration were seen when Trump put out an executive order that banned citizens and refugees of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen from entering the U.S (Yuhas and Sidahmed). The executive order was extremely vague, which resulted in confusion at airports causing many U.S citizens, green card holders, and visa holders to be detained (Yuhas and…

In March of 2017, the first few major attacks occurred, taking control of an oil tanker dubbed Aris 13, “Pirates hijacked an oil tanker off the coast of Somalia on Monday, the first successful hijacking of a commercial ship by Somali pirates since 2012,” (Graham 1). This is only the first of four major, successful attempts to capture ships this year, and they are already re-employing their main money making…

Somalia is such a broken country in so many ways it is nearly impossible to determine what needs to be fixed first. For starters, one might start by establishing a government with actual authority, because currently it is a joke. The law is disregarded…

It is argued by Hobbes that it is preferentable to consent to the absolute authority of a sovereign because it is superior to the chaos of “war of all against all” in the state of nature. Hobbes (1651) argues that men will turn against men and no industry can exist, he implies that any government, even totalitarian or oppressive governments, is better than none.
