How Do the Instruments of Power Define the Terrorist Organization Al-Shabaab
Abstract
The terrorist group affectionately known as Al-Shabaab, remains a threat to security and legitimate governance in the African country of Somalia. As a result of a security and governance vacuum, the group has managed to capitalize on cultural norms, and sometimes transcending clan politics to establish an enduring and growing presence where other organizations have fallen short. Understanding the cultural structures in Somalia is key to addressing the concerns of the people, and thereby undermining the ability of Al-Shabaab to survive.
