Can Somalia win its war against al-Shabab? | UpFront

In August 2022, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud declared a “total war” against al-Shabab. Today, Somalia says it is making progress in its fight against the group, but challenges remain.

Meanwhile, the country is facing a diplomatic crisis with neighbouring Ethiopia over the breakaway region of Somaliland. Domestically, despite some advances, Somalia is facing numerous challenges, including increasing effects of climate change, a refugee crisis and hunger.

The question remains - can Somalia cope with a growing crises on multiple fronts? And what lies ahead for the country?
