Violence that defines southern Somalia has been spreading slowly north since 2008 when a series of synchronized car bombings shocked Somaliland and Puntland. Since then there has been an increasing occurrence, of assassinations, roadside bombs, explosives, and brutalities.
There has been no clear identification of the sources for the violence but the increased use of IED’s point towards al Shabaab.
