Somalia, which sits on the Horn of Africa, has the continent's longest coastline. The country was without a formal parliament for two decades between 1991 and 2012, which resulted in continuous fighting between rival warlords. Even after an internationally-backed government was installed in 2012, the country remains politically fractured, with the continuous security threat of the main Islamist insurgent group, Al-Shabab. Within this climate, violations of children’s rights are widespread, including the recruitment of children into armed groups and female genital mutilation.
