^{Page 641 note 7} Elizabeth Colson, a noted anthropologist of the Gwembe Tonga, made this point perfectly clear during a discussion at the University of South Carolina in 1986. Those wishing to focus on such a sensitive subject as the politics of resettlement run a number of risks – even if their research proposal is not rejected, mobility may be restricted once in the country, and they may be denied readmittance for a second or third stage of their study at a later date.

^{Page 649 note 1} The constitution of 1961 states that the reunification of the Somali people will be pursued in Djibouti, the Ogaden, and the N.F.D. by peaceful and legal means. This strategy changed in 1971. Rather than make an ‘official’ claim to the areas in question, Somalia instead has insisted on the right of ‘self-determination’ for all Somali peoples, knowing fully well that they would unite together upon being granted independence.

^{Page 650 note 3} The Isaq clans have been weakened by the Government because of their alleged support for the S.N.M. For example, the north-west region of Somalia has been reduced in size so that this is now almost entirely inhabited by the Isaq, while the Gaderbursi and Issa, who predominate in the new region of Awdal, do not allow the S.N.M. to have the free movement which was the case when the Isaq were dominant within the entire region.
