2013: Somalia and the Horn of Africa at the Crossroads (DIEEEO12-2013)

The Horn of Africa, a region with a huge geostrategic importance for Europe, and particularly for Spain, has been affected since decades by a deep instability, the clearest representation of which is Somalia, the prototype of a failed State.
The enormous efforts carried out by the International Community towards the stabilization of the region, among which the ones performed by the European Union backed by Spain, begin now to be fruitful despite a number of difficulties derived from the complex Somali scenario.
