I read your article on Foreign Policy with keen eyes and interest. While whining from public officials does not deserve response from any sensible citizen of the Republic of Somalia, I felt compelled to counter false narrative with more objective analysis.
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — While tens of thousands of its citizens were dying from famine, the U.N.-backed Somali government spent only $1 million on social services despite having $58 million in revenue, according to a report by a former Somali government official.
Mr. Mohamud M Uluso - The communiqué of February 23 Conference on Somalia, dominated by the International Contact Group (ICG) and the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia fell far short of all expectations.
Keydmedia.net - In a sense, Ambassador Mahiga is a seasoned diplomat who carries bagful of bad guys and the good guys in the same diplomatic pouch until the ill-sorted elements chock each other to death, while he overrides the due democratic process.
By Prof. Mohamoud Iman Adan- Keydmedia - Virginia, USA - This is the latest revelation of Turkey and Iran challenges about Somalia. Turkey’s newfound interest in engaging with Somalia was triggered by a combination of different events: From the extension of humanitarian assistance during a time of great famine to the desire to establish a foothold in a strategic location so as to benefit future trade deals with Turkey and Somalia.
Mr. Mohamud M Uluso - So far, the consultations for the preparation of the London Conference on Somalia have been described as mere presentations of seven pre-determined themes while the views and suggestions of the Somali participants have been characterized as ambitious, opposing, and non-operational.
Nairobi (Keydmedia) - National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) is deeply concerned with the danger journalists in Mogadishu have been exposed to through the activities of a UN funded Radio Bar Kulan (RBK) after it aired live, discussions between journalists and Force Commander (FC) of the African Union Peacekeeping Troops in Mogadishu (AMISOM).
London (Keydmedia) - Putting all UN operations in a country under a single management structure is not as simple as it might sound. In some countries, different parts of the UN may be negotiating with rebels to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid, while their colleagues might be involved in planning military assaults against the very same groups.
Mr. Mohamud M Uluso - After seven years, the Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs) that formed the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia (TFG) have irreversibly morphed into the property of three venal leaders used by foreign powers, particularly Ethiopia.
The Wikileaks website released cables showing that plans for the Kenyan military invasion of southern Somalia had been mapped out for nearly two years and refuting claims that the intervention was done without Washington’s knowledge.
London (Keydmedia) - Any "best of" list must surely be subjective. This one is no different. Choosing the best photographs of the year is an enormously difficult task, with many terrific photographs slipping through the cracks.
Washington (Keydmedia) - The welfare of hundreds of thousands of Somalis who depend on financial assistance from the diaspora is at risk following a decision by a US bank to close down accounts of Somali money transfer companies in the state of Minnesota by 30 December, according to local and international sources.
