Somalia remained a basket case of humanitarian emergency, political instability and violent confrontations, with here and there islands of urban investment, economic development and reconstruction. The Somali Federal Government remained a problematic outfit, not significantly expanding its political-territorial control or governmental authority over the country, marred by corruption, and still largely dependent on donor-funding, remittances, and amisom peace-keeping forces combatting al-Shabaab. This movement committed the worst car bombing in Somali history, with 512 people killed in a public slaughter in Mogadishu. The movement did not change its course or develop any constructive agenda for Somalia’s societal or political future, and rejected any negotiations.
