摘要

索马里目前的冲突对其人民来说是长期和毁灭性的,成千上万的人被杀害、强奸、抢劫,成为难民或在国内流离失所。尽管这场冲突造成了致命的影响,但它在理论和实践上都违背了所有人的预期。然而,有几项研究试图解释这种冲突及其原因。这些原因包括文化多样性在索马里和整个非洲引发和维持冲突中的作用。本文认为,尽管存在许多强调这种关系的研究,但它们在经验上仍然没有定论。索马里社会由许多在语言和社会经济上各不相同的社区组成。尽管存在分歧,索马里和撒哈拉以南非洲的冲突总体上主要是由于经济衰退和武装部队成员大量出售武器而容易获得武器而加剧的不平等。文章最后提出了解决索马里这一长期冲突的几项建议。其中一个主要的建议是试图吸引移民社区的大量财富和人才。《非洲问题研究》,2007年第7卷第2期,第93-134页

Cultural Diversity and the Somali Conflict: Myth or Reality?
The current conflict in Somalia has proven to be long and devastating to its people where thousands were killed, raped, robbed and made refugees or internally displaced. Despite its deadly impact, the conflict has defied all expectations both theoretical and practical. However, there are several studies that attempt to explain the conflict and its causes. These causes include the role of cultural diversity in both bringing and maintaining the conflict in Somalia and Africa in general. This article argues that despite the existence of many studies that emphasise this relationship, they remain empirically inconclusive. The Somali society consists of many communities that differ linguistically and socio-economically. Despite their differences, the conflict in Somalia and Sub-Saharan Africa in general stems primarily from inequality worsened by economic decline plus the easy availability of weapons that resulted from the massive sale of arms by members of the armed forces. The article concludes with several suggestions for bringing about resolution to this prolonged conflict in Somalia. One of the main suggestions would be an attempt to attract the vast wealth and brain power of the Diaspora communities. African Journal on Conflict Resolution Vol. 7 (2) 2007: pp. 93-134
