The international community has struggled to fi nd ways to mitigate the crisis in Somalia today. Research fi nds that British experiences in Somaliland at the turn of the 20th century provide a useful historical lesson. Highlighting some of the most important factors of the Anglo-Somali war of 1899–1920, the author draws four major lessons and applies them to the current war in Somalia. Specifi cally, the international community should provide suffi cient armed forces, enforce effective arms control measures, and make adequate commitment to stabilising the combat zone. More importantly, ways should be found of curbing the evolution of insurgency into a more potent violent group
