    Since the civil war in 1991, Somalia has been plagued by state collapse as no central government has been able to control the entirety of the country. This Think Africa Press article argues that, if the new post-transitional government is to make a difference, it should transform Somali society politically, socially, and economically. This transformation poses considerable challenges given the number of alarming fault-lines in Somali. Clanism, interference from Kenya and Ethiopia, an extremely weak Somali National Army, the presence of US and South African private security contractors, increasing US drones attacks on al-Shabaab targets, and sectarian tensions are but a few of the many problems Somalia is currently facing.
