Exploring the Impact of Traditional Leadership on War and Conflict in the Modern Era

By: Yusuf (Seer)

Traditional leadership has played a significant role in shaping the outcomes of wars and conflicts throughout history. In the modern era, the impact of traditional leadership on war and conflict still remains a relevant topic of discussion. While traditional leadership can bring about stability and order in times of conflict, it can also lead to the perpetuation of violence and the entrenchment of power dynamics that fuel conflicts.

One of the key ways in which traditional leadership impacts war and conflict is through the use of tribal or clan allegiances. In many parts of the world, traditional leaders are seen as the ultimate authority in their communities, and their word is often seen as law. This can lead to tribal or clan allegiances being used to mobilize people for war or to reinforce existing power structures. This can lead to factionalism, with traditional leaders competing for power and resources, and can make peace negotiations more challenging.

Another way in which traditional leadership impacts war and conflict is through the use of religious or cultural beliefs. In some cases, traditional leaders use religious or cultural beliefs to justify violence or to demonize opposing groups. This can lead to the perpetuation of violence, as people see their actions as sanctioned by a higher power. At the same time, traditional leaders can also use their authority to promote peace and reconciliation, by promoting values like forgiveness, compassion, and understanding.

In conclusion, traditional leadership has a significant impact on the outcomes of wars and conflicts in the modern era. While it can bring about stability and order, it can also perpetuate violence and entrench power dynamics. As such, it is important to understand the role of traditional leadership in conflicts, and to work towards finding ways to promote peace and reconciliation that take into account the perspectives and beliefs of traditional leaders and their communities.

The 1969 Military Coup in Somalia. Part 1- 10. By Dr. Mohamed Rashid Sheikh Hassan. * History*

''The Military Take Over (1969 coup d'état); The Beginning of the New Era'' Forty years have passed since the military forces took over power in Somalia in a bloodless coup overthrowing the post-colonial state founded on western democratic model. I would like to assess the history and the legacy of this regime in a series of articles. The Prime Minster Mohamed Haji Ibrahim Egal was in the United States for an official visit at the time when the news of the assassination of the President, Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke reached him. The constitution of the country stated the parliament must elect a successor immediately, if such a situation arises. When the lobbying and campaigning that who would succeed the President started, it became clear that personal interests were overriding national ones and the new candidate would not be judged by his national contributions or political skills.
