In the complex tapestry of global security concerns, the intersection of civil conflict and the rise of Islamic militancy in specific regions have garnered increasing attention. This paper focuses on the situation in Somalia, a country long riven by internal war and now struggling with the rise of Islamic militarism. The country’s history has been marred by prolonged periods of internal strife characterized by political instability, clan rivalries, and state collapse. Against this backdrop, Islamic militant groups, notably Al-Shabaab, have risen to prominence, exploiting the power vacuum and societal grievances to propagate their extremist ideology. Therefore, this paper aims to unravel the nuanced interplay between the nature of civil conflict and the ascent of Islamic militancy, shedding light on the historical, socioeconomic, and governance-related elements that have facilitated this convergence. By examining these dynamics, this paper underscores the imperative of effectively addressing root causes to mitigate the influence of Islamic militancy in Somalia.

In the article the authoress compares the stories of male and female asylum seekers from one of the refugee centers in Warsaw. Her question is whether they have their own, different way of storytelling. She pays attention to the aspects of the experience of violence that were important to her interviewees and the relationship between the reality of modern war and the cultural stereotypes of gender roles. She divided the stories that she had collected into two parts: first one discusses the narrations of individuals who were victims of violence, while the other part presents stories of those who actively participated in certain forms of violence. Finally the article discusses the strategies of narrations about those experiences, especially the difference in the way men and women tell their stories.
