Somalia is on the move. It is pushing for foreign investment, and large infrastructure projects are changing the face of its scarred capital city, Mogadishu. These developments could promise better fortunes for Somalis as the country emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic
By Drs Fatuma Lamungu Nur - It was a shame to Kenyan military Spokesman Cyrus Oguna, when he said Kenya was not in Somalia to help a certain clan in its operation to capture Kismaayo and Jubbaland areas.
By Maya Jaggi - 'Somalia is no longer what it was. It's past reconstruction. How can you reconstruct a country that's self-destructing continuously?'
By MOHAMMED IBRAHIM - Hassan Sheik Mohamud, a moderate political activist and academic, took on one of the world’s most challenging political posts on Monday after members of Somalia’s newly created Parliament elected him the country’s next president.
United Nations investigators say an Australian citizen is helping to fund and run a "private army" for the president of Somalia's semi-autonomous Puntland region.
MOGADISHU — Today whoever visits Somalia's capital will tell you how significantly security has improved in the city. Ordinary Somalis don’t have to face the constant street fighting they endured during the last two decades. But those involved in the process of bringing stable institutions and government to the war-torn country still face an element of danger. Targeted killings in the city are on the rise.
MOGADISHU, Somalia — On the edge of Somalia’s battered capital of Mogadishu, on a hilltop overlooking the Indian Ocean, there’s an unlikely oasis of white tents laid out in perfect rows, where foreigners mingle with locals, a bakery provides free fresh bread daily and even the sandy floors are swept.
Journal Sentinel Online - A boyhood friend-turned-militia fighter told him to leave the country or face death.
By ISRAEL SHAMIR - Israel retains its ability to control the Syrian ‘Islamist’ rebels. Netanyahu is not worried about Syria’s possible disintegration.
A summary report by Hiiraan Online - The monitoring group's report outlines how TFG misappropriated funds and the general mismanagement of passport production and key revenue generating authorities includingMogadishu Portand Airport Authority and funds received from leading financial companies and telecom operators.
I am sure that many of you know that the monitoring group report on Somalia is leaked and I was able to get hold of the 400 page report. The level of corruption within the TFG leadership is unimaginable (mismanagement of funds, passport revenue, printing money) at the detriment of poor Somalis.
Nairobi (Keydmedia) - The recent Nairobi conference by Kenya, IGAD, AU and UN is another misfortune that will remain in the hearts of many Somalis, and it’s again showing how the international community is using a negative approach to resolve the crisis in Jubbaland regions.
