Abstract

"Somalia: An Opportunity that Should Not Be Missed", the latest International Crisis Group Policy Briefing, examines the build-up to the special international conference on Somalia, which takes place in London on 23 February, bringing together senior representatives from more than 50 countries and international organisations. The British initiative seeks to develop a consensus on a new political framework for tackling the multiple challenges faced by the war-torn country.
