State collapse corroded trust even between intimate acquaintances

Evidence

Somalis spoke of spies, people listening and watching who could report you to al-Shabaab. They could be your neighbors, colleagues, friends, or family. The collapse of a social contract that had once let people feel in control of their lives had wrecked every part of Somali life. Once trust was gone between citizens and their leaders, it slowly vanished among the citizens themselves, and then that distrust corroded the bonds even between people who knew each other intimately. — Alexis Okeowo, A Moonless, Starless Sky, 251
