Abdiasis Hasan Ali

Abstract: This article examines the difficulties in reconstructing Somalia's foreign policy. After years of conflict and division, Somalia is at a critical point in its history where both international participation and national rehabilitation depend on a competent foreign policy. The study identifies main challenges, including weakened state institutions, security concerns, and the influence of regional powers, which block the formulation of a organized foreign policy. Additionally, it examines the role of the Somali movement and international partners in shaping future diplomatic strategies. This article offers a framework for knowing the future of Somalia's foreign policy by examining historical and current elements. It highlights the necessity of a cooperative strategy that gives regional peace, economic growth, and caring concerns top priority. In the end, this study adds to the conversation about how Somalia might manage its international ties to promote regional peace and sustainable development.
