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
ANALYSIS by Abdi Aynte - After 12 years of feeble transitional governments, Somalia is slated to have a permanent administration that theoretically will be able to borrow money from the World Bank, sign binding bilateral treaties and buy weapons from the world markets - some of the many things transitional governments were unable to do.
Nairobi (Keydmedia) - On a visit to a bank in Eastleigh, a Nairobi neighbourhood, Richard Etemesi was taken aback by the appearance of a customer. “He had dollars all over his body – in his socks, his belt; he was just piling out cash, half undressed in the branch manager’s office,” says the chief executive of Kenya’s Standard Chartered bank.
London (Keydmedia) - According to anthropologists, there are various forms of cannibalism. These include survival cannibalism, ritual cannibalism, the eating of one's own dead identified as endocannibalism and excannibalism, the eating of outsiders.
Mr. Mohamud M Uluso - The Conference on Somalia which ended in Istanbul, Turkey on June 1st, 2012 has clearly demarcated the pathway to Somalia’s rebirth on the assumption that the Citizens of Somalia are willing and determined to unite and fulfill the first precondition of a comprehensive five (5) points plan for rebuilding the failed state of Somalia.
Mr. Mohamud M. Uluso - The succor of Turkish government to the people of Somalia has caused different reactions. First, it has uplifted the hope and spirit of the Somali people afflicted by the combination of civil war, famine, brutal rule of Al-Shabab, the abuses of corrupted Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the dividing and disempowering policies of the international community.
Mr. Mohamud M Uluso - In due consideration of the widespread opposition to the draft constitution, the international community and the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) should honour the opinions of the concerned Somali stakeholders and desist from its crooked ratification.
By Joakim Gundel - The UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Somalia, Augustine P. Mahiga, and head of United Nations Political Office for Somalia (UNPOS) appear in need of a serious reality check. The latest statement by his office in which he is “congratulating the Somali people and the TFG on the inauguration of the Traditional Elders in Mogadishu on May 5” is disappointing to say the least.
Mr. Mohamud M Uluso - The debate on the Constitution-Making Process in Somalia shifted to a perilous level after the international community demanded IGAD to submit the list of the critics –labeled “spoilers” of the peace process of Somalia for referral to the International Criminal Court and to the UN Security Council for incontestable harsh punishment (**).
Prof. Ali M. Mohamed Aden - The draft national constitution under consideration for Somalia — one that is supported by the United Nations — would create further destabilization, which could result in that country's further descent into chaos.
By Mr. Mohamud M. Uluso - The people of Somalia face the looming dreadful reality of becoming a vanished nation/country because of the Draft Constitution soon to be rubber stamped through fraudulent political and legal process.
By Mohamed Ali-Nur Hagi - Somalia has been through darkness, confusion, and sometimes irrepressible that has characterized warlordism, terrorisms and weak governments.
