The Somali Youth League known as the Somali Youth Club, was the first political party in Somalia. It played a key role in the nation's road to independence during the 1950s and 1960s. During the Second World War, Britain occupied Italian Somaliland and militarily administered the territory from 1941 to 1950. Faced with growing Italian political pressure inimical to continued British tenure and Somali aspirations for independence, the Somalians and the British came to see each other as allies; the first modern Somali political party, the Somali Youth Club, was subsequently established in Mogadishu in 1943. At its foundation, the party had 13 members: four muuse subeer samaroon, four habar muuse two Reer Xamar, two hawiye and one daarood; the Harari would become members in 1946. SYL supported Greater Somalia with Harar being the capital and a combined Harari-Somali representatives were commissioned to reveal this proposal to the U. N office in Mogadishu. Somali Youth League members were influenced by the earlier religious rebellion at the turn of the century of various religious figures such as Uways al-Barawi, Sheikh Hassan Barsane and Mohammed Abdullah Hassan.

To empower the new party, the better educated police and civil servants were permitted to join it. By 1948, following an official visit to the territory by the Four Power Commission, the SYC was a well-structured political unit, Abdullahi Issa was elected as its Secretary General and renamed itself as the Somali Youth League and began to open offices not only in Italian and British Somaliland, but in the Ogaden and in the Northern Frontier District; the SYL's stated objectives were to unify all Somali territories, including the Ogaden. SYL policy banned clannishness so that the thirteen founding members, although representing four of Somalia's five major clans, refused to disclose their clan affiliations. Although the SYL enjoyed considerable popular support from northerners, the principal parties in British Somaliland were the Somali National League and National United Front associated with the Isaaq clan, the United Somali Party, which had the support of the Dir and Darod clans. In 1945, the Potsdam conference was held, where it was decided not to return Italian Somaliland to Italy.

The United Nations opted instead in November 1949 to grant Italy trusteeship of Italian Somaliland, but only under close supervision and on the condition—first proposed by the SYL and other nascent Somali political organizations that were agitating for independence, such as the Marehan Union Party, Hizbia Digil Mirifle Somali and the SNL— that Somalia achieve independence within ten years. British Somaliland remained a protectorate of Britain until June 26, 1960, when it became independent; the former Italian Somaliland followed suit five days later. On July 1, 1960, the two territories united to form the Somali Republic, albeit within boundaries drawn up by Italy and Britain. A government was formed by Abdullahi Issa Mohamud and Muhammad Haji Ibrahim Egal with Aden Abdullah Osman Daar as the first President of the Somali Republic, Abdirashid Ali Shermarke as Prime Minister to become President. On July 20, 1961 and through a popular referendum, the Somali people ratified a new constitution, first drafted in 1960.

In the first national elections after independence, held on 30 March 1964, the SYL won an absolute majority of 69 of the 123 parliamentary seats. The remaining seats were divided among 11 parties. Five years from in general elections held in March 1969, the ruling SYL led by Mohammed Ibrahim Egal returned to power. However, in the same year President of Somalia Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke was assassinated. A military coup ensued, with Siad Barre now assuming leadership. Barre's Supreme Revolutionary Council subsequently renamed the country the Somali Democratic Republic, arrested members of the former government, banned political parties, dissolved the parliament and the Supreme Court, suspended the constitution; the following is a list of the SYL's 13 original founder members, including its first leader Abdulkhadir Sheikh Sakhawudeen: Abdulkhadir Sheikh Sakhawudeen Yasin Haji Osman Sharmarke, Mohamed Hirsi Nur, Haji Mahamed Hussein Mahad, Osman Geedi Rage, Dhere Haji Dhere, Dahir Haji Osman, Ali Hasan Maslah, Mohamed Ali Nur, Mohamed Farah Hilowle, H. Mohamed Abdullahi Hayesi, Hudow Malin Abdullahi Salah and Mohamed Osman Barbe Bardhere The following is a list of other notable public officials that emerged from the SYL's ranks: PresidentsAden Abdullah Osman Daar: July 1, 1960 – June 10, 1967.

"Arun Agrawal provides a most lucid account of the people-government- forest interplay in the 20th century Kumaon Himalayas in this book.... Arun Agrawal addresses these fascinating questions on the basis, not only of archival research, but on the strength of extensive long-term fieldwork."—The Hindu "This book aims to promote Arun Agrawal's own neologism - "environmentality"... This book, has hidden its worthwhile arguments in thickets of verbal profusion, which make it hard to see the teak for the forest."--The Times Higher Education 2001: Agrarian Environments: Resources and Rule in India.
