Abstract
When President Siyad took power in 1969 'Tribalism', which was associated with nepotism and corruption, was officially banned. In practice, however, it continued in government as the president surrounded himself with ministers drawn from his own patrilineal clan, the Marehan. This has caused further tension threatening the stability of the country. (AFH)
