Assessing the Somali State Institutions 10 years after the end of the transition

[Deeq A.]

The purpose of this article is to describe the roles of the three main Organs of the State: the Parliament, the Presidency of the Republic and the Government within a formal constitutional context, and to highlight the development of those Organs stemming from close to a decade of experience. The Judiciary Organ is outside of the scope of this assessment. Emphases will be placed on the extensively changed role of the presidency of the Republic which resulted from the work (not always in line with the Constitution) of the two men who have served in the position since 2012.
