Abstract: During the Cold War,the socialist practice of Somalia was directly influenced by the Soviet Union. Through Socialist practice and measures, Somalia established a strong central government,stabilized the relationship between politics and religion,and achieved fast economic and cultural development. However,the excessive dependence on the Soviet Union,the pan-nationalism-oriented diplomacy and the government’s manipulation of tribal politics led to the failure of the socialist practice in Somalia,which shows that a country could be more healthily developed only through adhering to the independent development path, keeping vigilant to the harm of pan-nationalism,establishing a strong central government based on its own national conditions and building a harmonious relationship between politics and religions.
