Abstract

This research work is done with a focus of on civil war as prevailed matter within African continent that competition mode is dominating instead of agreement mode in relation to dealing with national matters. African conflicts were also discussed in which concepts and causes of African conflicts were identified after independence period. However, Somalia country was taken as case study for this research.

The main two research methods applied in this study were historical method and case study research strategy with an inductive view in which the researchers tried to thoroughly understand the background of Somalia conflict and whole phenomenon under the case study.

After conducting the study, the result of the research work gave the researchers a ground to conclude that there was relationship between internal and external environments that had been considered as vital factor to lighting the civil war in African continent. It was also obvious that intervention of international forces has played important role in lighting the civil war in the continent. However, many African countries still suffer of war results and majority of problems face the continent are as result of those civil wars. In spite of international efforts that attempt to make solutions and get rid of such wars, researchers believe such efforts are still weak and remain below required level.

This research work was carried out on a single case study, civil war in African continent (Somalia country was taken as case study for this research). The impact of internal and external environment is vital for lighting civil war in African continent. The researchers believe this study can serve as a standing ground for further and deep study in the area.
