Somalia. Many parts of Somalia, particularly Somaliland and the Juba River Valley, remained terrorist safe havens in 2021 because federal and local authorities had a limited ability to project influence beyond populated areas and some forward operating bases. Al-Shabaab raised much of its funds by extorting people in ungoverned areas of Somalia.
According to independent sources and non-governmental organizations engaged in demining activities on the ground, there was little cause for concern regarding the presence of WMD in Somalia.
