- ItemImpact of foreign aid on poverty reduction in selected urban areas of Mogadishu, Somalia(Kampala International University, College of Higher Degrees and Research, 2015-04) Amina, Ali; NorSince there has been a lot of foreign aid to Somalia and most of this aid directed to urban population, poverty levels remain to be high. The research was based on a sample size of 242 respondents; the samples were randomly selected from Xamarwayne, Hodan, and Wardhiigley. The sample age was between 5 up to above 65 years, 115 male and 127 Female. All the respondents were ethnic Somalis. The researcher used both quantitative and qualitative approaches in data collection, however, quantitative method of data collection was dominant or was be largely used in the collection of data because it is more accurate in terms of data collection and yet again more reliable in terms of research results. The researcher used probability sampling method and in particular stratified sampling. In probability of being selected; divided the population into subpopulations such that elements within these subpopulations were homogeneous. Then selected a simple random sample independently from each sub population. Data was obtained using self-administered questionnaires containing indicators on each research question. Data obtained was presented and analyzed in tables and charts. Despite large amount of foreign Aid being channeled to these areas, the poverty levels are still generally high as compared to other cities in Africa.

- ItemForeign intervention and peace building in Mogadishu, Somalia(Kampala International University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2015-06) Bashir, Mohamed OmarThis study had the main objective to establish the role of foreign intervention in the peace building of Mogadishu, Somalia. The researcher was motivated by the fact that there was little progress in the peace building process in Mogadishu. The study was guided by the following objectives 1) to examine the foreign intervention strategies employed in Mogadishu Somalia 2) to assess the peace building process in Mogadishu, Somalia and 3) to establish a relationship between the foreign intervention and peace building in Mogadishu, Somalia. The study employed descriptive cross-sectional by design which involved both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Using this method, the researcher used a structured questionnaire (close ended) and an interview guide (for qualitative responses). A research population of 300 was identified and a sample size of 171 respondents was computed using the Slovene’s formula. In selecting the respondents the researcher used simple random sampling technique. From the findings it was found that foreign intervention was very low in all aspects except for military intervention which was found to be high. Peace building process was also found to be low. Analysis of relationships suggested that there was a significant relationship between foreign intervention and peace building at a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.827. Regression analysis computed the R Squared was to be at 0.683. Somalia’s political situation is an ideal example of the hardships and disunity that many African nations have encountered in post colonialist era. Somalia has encountered political instability in the absence of functioning central government, numerous armed groups and militants that control different parts of the country. Ultimately the researcher suggested more civic education, equipping of national security forces, better international relations, foreign electoral oversight and government support to peace talks.
- ItemAfrican Union Operations and Sustainability of Peace Building in Mogadishu Somalia(Kampala International University,Master degree of Arts in International Relations and Diplomatic Studies, 2015-06) Omar Ali, AbdukadirThe study examined the role African union operations and sustainability of peace building in Mogadishu-Somalia. The objectives of the study were to; to investigate the sustainability of peace building in Mogadishu-Somalia, to examine the effectiveness of African Union intervention Peace building in Mogadishu-Somalia and to analyse the relationship between African Union peace operations and peace building in Mogadishu Somalia. The research used a descriptive design, descriptive co relational, cross sectional and survey designs. It was descriptive in that it described the characteristics of respondents in collecting data from the study population totaling 356 respondents. Sampling technique was used to select the sample of 188 respondents from Mogadishu, Somalia, Ministry of interior affairs committee, other community members, Parliament committee, Local government committee were interviewed. Data was analyzed using descriptive analysis option of SPSS, and was then presented using Pearson correlation. It was found out that; males greatly participated in the study as represented by 58.5% whereas 41.4% of the respondents were females; implying that African union peace operation in Somalia involved males as they are known of their strong influence and ability in resolving conflict compared to females. Further findings revealed, based on the findings detailed from the respondent, it is clear that AU has made an important and substantial contribution to improving the security situation in Somalia. In particular, this relates to the seizure of Mogadishu from ai-Shabaab in 2011. This turn of events was facilitated by several factors, including the 2010 authorization of an increase in AU troop numbers, which increased the manpower of the mission. The study recommends that a shortage of funds prevents the AU from producing a substantial peacekeeping mission. This reality therefore prescribes the AU to investigate more economically efficient means of attaining peace; mediation has proven promising in this regard as has peace building and preventative diplomacy. Also for regionalism to take hold there must be some economic inter dependency. African union in this vain requires the AU membership to maintain the development of infrastructure and economic interdependence between members. However, a large caveat to this is infrastructure in Africa most likely originates from foreign investment overseas. This requires AU membership to be economically dependent upon foreign investment rather than being interdependent upon each other.

- ItemThe role played by United States of America in South Sudan Conflicts.(Kampala International University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences., 2015-10) Chol, Gatkek TutThe study aimed at the role played by United States of America in South Sudan Conflicts. Their main aim was to find ivory, slave, gold and other minerals, which were very useful in the Arab peninsula and to the Europeans. Arab invaders met a lot of resistance from the Nuba and Funj, who were at the time the inhabitants of Nmihern Sudan and rule there today. After many years of war between them, they signed agreements which allowed both sides to coexist in the Notih, (Deng 1995, p.9). Sudan faced her first civil war in 1955, a few months before the British depmiure (Deng, 1995; Wai, 1973). The study used descriptive case study research design which used both the quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and the established sample size was I 06 respondents from population of 145 and this was enough guide in effective data collection on the topic under study. The researcher first obtained a letter of introduction from the university, assigning her to the field which she used to erase suspicion by the respondents. From the findings the peace keeping to be resolved requires more appropriate means like resources to use however in regards to the situation, there were not available at the time therefore the table above indicate that most respondents 20(19.8%) agree that Resource scarcity and competition as a cause of conflicts, this makes the situation to worsen 21(19.8%) Disagree with it and 42(39.6%) Strongly agree with the statement. This implied that respondents feel that Resource scarcity and competition as a cause of conflicts. In conclusion and recommendation the USA recent engagement in South Sudan has in some ways contributed positively to peace. For example, there clearly has been effective co-ordinated diplomacy to support the emergence of a fragile peace from decades of war. However, the emerging lessons from the CPA period suggest much that could be done to respond better to conflict in Sudan and South Sudan. Promote sustainable community development and economic revitalization: where progress in conflict management is evident and where peace agreements remain intact, provide more resources for participatory community development, create peace situations and provide food for- work and food-for-training assistance.
- ItemThe problems of sustaining friendly international relations between Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia(Kampala International University,College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2015-10) Mahad, Abdullahi HusseinThe purpose of this study is to identify the problems of sustaining friendly international relations between Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia. The research aim is to explore the impact of their relationship. The researchers conducted correlation in this study. Correlation is a research design where the researchers determine of whether or not and to what extent an association exists between two or paired variables The researchers' purpose is to contrast two or more characteristics from the similar set and give details how characteristics vary together (Osa & Onen, 2008). The relationship between the government of Somalia and Kenya, The result indicated that there is positive correlation as indicated r. value .567 and the sig. value .000 in this study the researchers reject their hypothesis and accept the alternative, which is the existence of positive correlation between government of Somalia and Kenya. And association between the variables showed a high statistically significant result. This is the relationship between government of Somalia and Ethiopia. Results indicated a positive and significant relationship between the government of Somalia and Ethiopia, and this was indicated by the r and sig values(r-value=.327andsig=.003), this was so because the sig value was less than 0.05 which is the required level of significance in social sciences in order to declare a significant relationship. The study therefore recommends that Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia continue to keep the Diplomatic leaders and promoting democratic peace of these neighboring countries as it will aim on improving the socio livehood of the three nations.

- ItemFree movement of persons, labour and trade sector performance in East Africa(Kampala International University.College Of Humanities and social science, 2016-10) Juliet, TumusiimeThis study addresses the efficacy of the Common Market Protocol (CMP) of East African Community (EAC) with regard to implementation and or domestication of free movement of persons and labour/workers in relation to trade sector performance in East Africa. The major postulation is that a liberalized/free cross border movement system of people affects trade; taking Uganda as the case study. It focuses on assessing implementation of selected aspects of the protocol entailing rights, freedoms and fundamentals, supported by selected provisions of EAC Treaty responsible for promoting the free movement principle in EAC; which once implemented will significantly boost great regional investment in terms of trade and competitiveness to propel economic growth and development. The study addresses the key findings in addressing the research objectives: Benefits of free movement of persons and labour to Uganda; implementation and or domestication of the CMP on free movement of persons and labour in EAC; the study also assesses challenges faced by EAC in implementation of free movement of persons and labour. The study is guided by the Neoclassical Economic Theory by Ernest Ravenstein (1889). Most outstanding conclusions to the study include: The EAC pat1ner states' need to adopt national comprehensive programs to harmonize their laws to ensure effective implementation in every area of the CMP; Council should undertake an institutional review of a Community aimed at revamping and empowering the organs and institutions of the Community to monitor and deal with informal /illegal trade from crisscrossing border points, past formally recognized trade. This means putting organs and institutions in place by all regional players in order to avoid the escalation of the problem spreading to its partners; the problem of inadequate funding towards the deliberations of EAC requires a need to improve the situation by amending Article 132 (4) of the EAC treaty to a formulae based method that takes into account equity and ability to pay. The study relied on desk research into the existing literature and public records; Key Informant Interviews (Klls) were also carried out with law/policymakers/policy implementers in relevant Ministries in Uganda, whose work is in tandem with EAC deliberations.
