In the early 1990s, Somalia was in the spotlight for factionalism as warlords, clans, and sub-clans doggedly wrenched their fiefdoms from the state through bloody civil wars. In contrast, thirty years earlier the Somali were pre-occupied with the struggle to unite the five Somali-inhabited enclaves of the Horn of Africa into one Greater Somalia. Bandits on the Border revisits the pan-Somalia nationalism of the 1960s when Kenyan Somalis attempted to secede and join the Somalia State that had been created after the merger of the former British Somaliland with the Italian Trusteeship.
