Bronwyn Bruton Speaks on Panel at USIP Somalia Event
October 01, 2012
Bronwyn Bruton, deputy director at the Atlantic Council’s Michael S. Ansari Africa Center, spoke on a panel at an event entitled “Whither Somalia,” held at the US Institute of Peace (USIP). Moderated by Jon Temin, director of the Sudan and South Sudan program at USIP, the panel featured Mary Harper, Africa editor at the BBC World Service and author of the new book “Getting Somalia Wrong? Faith, War and Hope in a Shattered State,” and Sadia Ali Aden, human rights advocate and freelance writer.
The panelists drew on the history and culture of the failed state to examine how recent developments—including the election of Hassan Sheikh Mohamud as president, and the withdrawal of al-Shabaab from its last stronghold of Kismayo— will play out. Despite its latest achievements, Somalia faces huge political and economic challenges in the near and long-term future, such as the need to strengthen domestic security forces and develop economic potential. Following on the theme in the title of Harper’s book, panelists also addressed how to “get Somalia right,” and contemplated the positive steps the US and the international community could take to support Somalia’s fragile stability.
