Chess activities in Somalia are some how unknown, because of decline in its popularity since the collapse of the central Somali government, and the civil war. The entire community who brought up that rich culture dispersed and fled to the corners of world, but today there are many in Somalia who are strifing to restore the Somali title at world stake and accomplishing self aclaimed activities and voluntarily assigning players who will first have to come up in national and local tournaments before proceeding to international level.,
