Somalia is still a violent region, and hasn’t achieved the peacetime stability in order to investigate such a history. Trump declared parts of Somalia "areas of active hostilities" in 2017, leading to an increase in American militarism around the Horn of Africa and a ramping up of drone strikes in the region. Likewise the region has become one of the most militarised places on earth during the war in Yemen as UAE soldiers have been stationed in Djibouti and increasingly south of the border in Somaliland, and this poor region is quickly becoming a mercenary economy. Furthermore Somaliland also remains in an internal border dispute with the other Somalian autonomous region, Puntland, while still struggling to negotiate independence with the Somalian Federal Government. Somaliland lies politically trapped between the larger powers of Somali, Ethiopia and increasingly the states of the Arabian peninsula, all of which leave the memory of the genocide at the end of a complex list of priorities.
