    The central goal of this study is to scrutinize the causes and consequences of Kenya’s military intervention in Somalia in October 2011. It is to exert effort to bridge the gap in literature and to motivate further studies on the issue under study .The study will examine political, economic and social causes that triggered to incursion and the impacts that the military intervention brought. Methodologically, since the research deals with the socio political and economic factors with outcomes of the incursion, it pursued qualitative approaches in terms of data collection and design of analysis. The tools used to collect data were interviews and document analysis. An ethical consideration was employed to make objective analysis, to come up with sound findings and draw valid conclusions. In the course of data analysis, the causes and consequences of Kenya’s military intervention in Somalia are described in detail. .The findings of the study assert that the incursion was linked to creating a buffer state in Southern Somalia as a strategic solution for assuring security and economic interests of Kenya. Then, the study suggested possible recommendations that are Kenya to develop effective all inclusive national development policies, should approach voluntary repatriation of Somali refugees , develop effective security policies to secure border region, recognize the importance of inclusivity in trying to achieve a stable Somalia and Cross boarder incursion must be the last resort. Somalia should develop policies –strategies concerning returnees of Somali refugees to escape crackdown of stability and deal oil interest with international law.Creating stability in southern Somalia does not mean only by defeating Al-Shabaab. Kenya, with the help of its partners must now develop a political plan that includes attractive incentives for local clans to work together and share the region’s wealth and foreign assistance. That will require careful planning and support, as well as continued international involvement in development and capacity-building

    (2013-06) Dinka, Ketema; Mohammed, Yasin (PhD)
    The concept of African regional integration is intended to solve the economic, political and social problems of African countries by coordinating the efforts of all African countries through regional and continental integration. The motives of regional economic communities have the prospect of enhancing continental development and integration in Africa under the umbrella of African Union. The theoretical and empirical back-ground of regional integrations are also examined to bring out the importance of regional blocs in African development and integration. In addition, based on thou, the progresses and challenges for African regional integration have discussed. There are visible progresses on IGAD cooperation and integration programmes implementation but, those changes are characterized by low span and uneven because of economic, social, political, environmental and security challenges at all regional of the continental including the IGDA region. Finally, this study strongly recommends that, there is needs of improve the institutional capacities of the IGAD and the member states to solve the rest of developmental challenges in the region such as; economic instability, security threat, financial constraint, external interference, less development of infrastructures and environmental challenges. However, IGAD and the rest of RECs are remaining as the central nerves for African development and continental integration.

    The Security Implications of South Sudan’s Secession for the Horn of Africa
    (Addis Ababa University, 2015-06) Kedir, Ibrahim; Mohammed, Yasin (PhD)
    South Sudan, after more than two decades of civil war, got its independence in July 2011. Even though South Sudan seceded from its mother state, its relation with the north is yet to be resolved. Today, relations between Khartoum and Juba are heavily influenced by the outstanding issues in the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) which have created obstacles to progress in both the Sudan and South Sudan. Important unresolved CPA issues include fair and equitable oil revenue-sharing between Sudan and South Sudan, conflict in South Kordofan and Blue Niles, and the status of Abyei. Hence, in order to maintain peace and security in the region, normalizations of relations between the two Sudan is of fundamental importance. The contention of this thesis is that the South Sudan secession has several security implications for the countries of the Horn of African region. Source of inspiration for other would be states (those in demand of secession), an influx of refugees, spillover nature of conflicts and renewed bilateral relations are among the implications. Through data analysis of primary and secondary sources the paper will provide the rationale of the thesis
