In the Enough Project's latest report, Somalia: A Country in Peril, A Policy Nightmare, Horn of Africa expert Ken Menkhaus argues that Somalia's bloody 18 year conflict is worsening due to seismic change occurring in the country. Menkhaus analyzes international policy failures at every level-in state-building, reconciliation, political transition, economic recovery, humanitarian access, and counter-terrorism efforts to combat radicalization-and argues for nothing short of a complete review of what he terms "shipwrecked" international policies." Given the severity of the crises in Somalia and the extraordinary level of failure", Menkhaus says, "the burden of proof must fall squarely on the shoulders of those advocating a 'stay the course' approach, not on those calling for change."
