Somalia today is the site of three major threats: the world's worst humanitarian crisis; the longest-running instance of complete state collapse; and a robust jihadist movement with links to Al-Qa'ida. External state-building, counter-terrorism and humanitarian policies responding to these threats have worked at cross-purposes. State-building efforts that insist humanitarian relief be channelled through the nascent state in order to build its legitimacy and capacity undermine humanitarian neutrality when the state is a party to a civil war. Counter-terrorism policies that seek to ensure that no aid benefits terrorist groups have the net effect of criminalising relief operations in countries where poor security precludes effective accountability. This paper argues that tensions between stabilisation and humanitarian goals in contemporary Somalia reflect a long history of politicisation of humanitarian operations in the country.
世界上最严重的人道主义危机；持续时间最长的完全国家崩溃事件；以及与基地组织有联系的强大圣战运动。针对这些威胁的外部国家建设、反恐和人道主义政策目标各不相同，背道而驰。国家建设努力坚持将人道主义救援通过新生国家进行，以建立其合法性和能力，但当国家是内战的一方时，这就破坏了人道主义的中立性。反恐政策旨在确保没有援助惠及恐怖组织，但这实际上导致在安全条件差、无法有效问责的国家将救济行动定为犯罪。本文认为，当代索马里稳定与人道主义目标之间的紧张关系反映了该国人道主义行动长期以来的政治化。
