It used secondary source of data such as books, journal articles, and conference papers. There was an exhaustive civil war in Somalia since 1991. There were several reasons for the raising of the conflict. Still, Somalia is politically instable country. Consequently, the international actors involved to settle the conflict. The United Nations, African Union, Inter-Governmental Authority on Development, United States of America, and Ethiopia tried to resolve the conflict and establish stable Somalia state. There were different peace agreements to settle the conflict. However, the peace agreement did not achieve the expected goals. Now a day, Somalia has its own central government but the government is not strong enough to administer the territory effectively. As a result, the security problems of Horn of Africa are arising from Somalia.
