Like Kalam said, the ICU (Islamic Courts Union) had basically unified all of Somalia.There are definently forces at work who profit from the lawlessness in Somalia, particularly Islamic Militant groups. Think about it Somalia is basically an open arms market, young Jihadists can go there and train without interruption. As well as the people involved in the pirates business, and I don't think thats run by all Somalis, I have a feeling different mafias have a hand in this.
But outside Western governments like the U.S. didn't want them.
So proxy military forces and American air power was used to destroy the Islamic Courts Union.
And plunged Somali into chaos once again.
Somaliland doesn't want Shabab though, they recently arrested 10 of their members and Shabab threatened them with violence if they held elections.
