The 2nd Puntland Development & Research Center (PDRC) Annual Peace Conference 2024, held in Garowe, Puntland, brought together over 200 participants: 173 males and 27 females, including government officials, media practitioners, academics, and civil society leaders, to discuss and deeply reflect on the theme “The Role of Media in Peace and Conflict in Fragile Contexts.” This theme was selected in response to Somalia’s unique blend of opportunities and challenges in the media space. It acknowledged the media’s dual capacity to either promote peace or exacerbate conflict in fragile contexts and underscored the urgent need for ethical, inclusive, and responsible media practices to help Somalia navigate its complex journey toward peace and stability. The conference provided a platform for exploring the intricate dynamics of media’s influence in shaping peace and conflict in Somalia and beyond. Several research papers were submitted and presented by senior researchers and scholars, as exhibited in Volume 2.
