Here's an interesting article that describes a small town in Somalia. It points out that Somalia has been without a functioning government for 20 years and that, unlike most of the rest of the continent, Somalia is remarkably homogeneous with everyone speaking the same language, sharing an ethnic identity, and one single religion (Sunni Islam).
How can there be war when everyone is in the same group? Another article points out that Somalis are divided by clan, sub-clan, and sub-sub-clan identities.
