Samenvatting

Clan Cleansing in Somalia deals with the transformative violence that helped cause the collapse of the Somali state in 1991. Kapteijns argues that public acknowledgment of the clan cleansing of this period is indispensable to social and moral repair and to the critical memory work required from Somalis on all sides of this conflict.

    On the 17th of January 2013, US Foreign Secretary Hilary Clinton and the newly-elected president of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, announced that the USA recognized a newly-formed Somali government for the first time since 1991. But in the same week the Somali al-Shabaab movement apparently executed a French national they held since 2009, after French efforts to free him failed. Where does Somalia stand now?
    Readers like me know little about the collapse of Somalia in 1991, its long gestation and horrific aftermath, except for dramatic TV-footage or novelist Nuruddin Farah's two trilogies about his country of birth. The novel `Human Love' (2006) by Russian-born, French author Andreï Makine (AM) is another book linking fiction with history. His brilliant novel about the Cold War in Africa is supposedly written by a nameless KGB-near Soviet journalist. In its final 30+ pages, he pictures the surge of rebellion against the weakened Somali strongman Syad Barre. AM writes about lengthy, failed Soviet negotiations with members of the Manifesto group to bring about an organized, bloodless transition. In his novel they are said to have been willing to sign a pact with anyone, the USSR, America, the Devil himself, anyone who would most quickly bring most arms and most funds. And that they came across as insecure of themselves, not tough enough and that very soon the real warlords would make themselves felt, men who would not have their hesitations. Adding that neither SU nor US intelligence had a clue about what was happening...

    Who made up this Manifesto group and who were these real warlords?

    Dr. Lidwien Kapteijns answers these and many other questions in a carefully-researched study about the dramatic years of 1991-2, examining their historical roots and immediate aftermath. This review is continued on the site for woman horse riders in four countries...
