| Abstract | ||
| Somal is considered one of the unstable and restless African Arabian country in comparison with other Arabian. It has been exposed to division and separation by European colonization process that worked hardly on dividing this country according to Berlin conference (1884-1885). Even after obtaining its independence during the sixties and being led by civilian organizations which were unable to solve the problems of Somalian society after obtaining the independence. Somal continued its suffering even after the military rule under the leadership of Mohammed Sayad Beree. During Beree's rule, Somal suffered from the War with Ethiopia, as well as it witnessed an economical Crisis. It suffered also from the tribal policy through giving leadership roles to his tribal men, depriving other tribes from these roles, a matter which led the Somalian people to end his regime and as a result to civil war that opened the door for political and Islamic movements. At the beginning, the Islamic movements appeared as courts and institutions and then they united together to be Islamic courts. In addition to that, it witnessed the emergence of other Islamic parties that played a great role in the Somalian situation because each one has its aims and wanted to apply it on Somal. Perhaps, the different aims of those movements caused this separation and division in Somal, a matter that has been profiteered by neighbors, especially Ethiopia which caused instability in the whole country. | ||
