Somalia: “Puntalnd accused of importing counterfeit money into the country” The Chairman of the central Bank of Somalia Mr. Bashiir Isse Ali has on Saturday held a press conference in Mogadishu and accused the semiautonomous States of Puntland of being behind of the flow of phony money into the country wide. “We made thorough investigation to know where the recent counterfeit money which we have recently seen causing fluctuation on the trade in the city is coming from, and the bottom-line of the investigation is that the money is coming from the semiautonomous states of Puntland in Eastern Somalia, it is very unfortunate to know that Puntland which one of the strong pillars of the nation is behind this illegal monetary” said Bashir the chairman of Somalia’s central Bank in a press conference. On the other hand the chairman has added that Somalia is on negotiation with international countries and the IMF on how Somalia can have a single monetary unit. The administration of Puntland has not yet given back reaction to the chairman’s comments. Radio Dalsan

MOGADISHU (HOL) -----A moderate Islamist group has signed a power sharing deal with the Galmudug regional administration Thursday, ending months of political rivalry that started after the formation of the Somali government-backed state. The deal marks a new political era for the two sides which may help to quell the deadly insurgency by the al-Qaeda linked Al-shabab group which is fighting the two administrations. advertisements Under the new deal signed in Adado town, Ahlu Sunna Waljamaca group would have some of its members included into the Galmudug administration’s leadership circle, scenario which would also assign a 30% share in the state’s parliament. In addition, ASWJ militia would have 4% of the cabinet from their side. Political analysts say the new deal would help Galmudug administration to unite the Sufi militia’s strongholds into its territory that may boost its political clout. The new deal comes two months after the moderate Islamist group’s fighters have ousted government troops from Dhusomareb, a town which was supposed to serve as the Galmudug administration’s provincial capital as declared by Somali president in June in protest of the state’s formation. The town’s capture has since forced authorities to swap the headquarters to Galkayo town in Mudug region. Signed by Abdikarim Hussein Guled, Galmudug state’s president and Sheikh Ibrahim Gureye, the chairman of the Ahlu Sunna Waljamaca's executive committee, the deal ducks a major divisive issue: whether the two sides will avoid a more political row. Ahlu Sunna Waljamaca fighters control Guriel and Dhusomareb towns after the ouster of the Al-shabab fighters from the two major bases in 2009. The group has since maintained the control of both towns.

International community warns president’s impeachment would impede progress While recognising the progress that has been made in Somalia in recent years, IC recognizes the Progress made new dawn for Somalia , spoilers are recogized “Somalia has moved forward, and that progress cannot be halted just because obstacles or deceptions by elements who are not working for the interest of the public and the greater Somalia nation.” president Mohamud said.

International community warns president’s impeachment would impede progress OGADISHU (HOL) ----As significant numbers of Somali lawmakers have tabled an impeachment motion against the president over corruption allegations, the international community has warned the development would impede progress on Somalia’s peace and state building goals. In a joint statement issued on Wednesday, envoys from the United Nations, the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the European Union (EU), the United States of America and the United Kingdom said they remain concerned about progress on the legislative agenda and the need to pass key legislation including laws on elections, citizenship, political parties’ and the constitutional court. Emerging institutions are still fragile. advertisements “While we fully respect the right of the Federal Parliament to hold institutions to account and to fulfil its constitutional duties, the submission of any such motion requires a high standard of transparency and integrity in the process and will consume extremely valuable time, not least in the absence of essential legal bodies.” The statement said. The envoys said Somalia and all member states are bound by United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2232, which sets out the expectations of the international community on the security and political progress needed in Somalia, and the need for an electoral process in 2016 without extension of either the legislative or executive branch. “Emerging institutions are still fragile. They require a period of stability and continuity to allow Somalia to benefit from the New Deal Somali Compact and to prepare for a peaceful and legitimate transfer of public office in 2016.” In addition, the international community has expressed doubt about the legality of the new motion which MPs say would help them to oust the president whom they accused of corruption and embezzlement. “We believe the Somali people should be given the opportunity to hold their elected representatives and government to account in 2016 through an inclusive and transparent electoral process.” The statement further stated. More than 93 legislators have lodged the motion with the parliamentary speaker who past the supreme court endorsement would have present the motion to the parliament for vote. Responding to the allegations, the president has credited his government with security gains, by ousting militants from key towns and the expansion of the federalism system in many parts of Somalia. “Somalia has moved forward, and that progress cannot be halted just because obstacles or deceptions by elements who are not working for the interest of the public and the greater Somalia nation.” president Mohamud said. Somalia’s donors often express worries over constant infighting between presidents, prime ministers and parliament, saying the spat could inflame tensions and undermine the country’s recovery from more than two decades of conflict.

Philippe Lazzarini spoke to reporters in Nairobi as he stepped down after 2-1/2 years as U.N. Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, which has been mired in conflict since 1991. "Somalia is a positive narrative in the making," said Lazzarini. "It is one of the optimistic stories in a world falling apart with crisis and conflict." Mogadishu has changed dramatically in the last few years, partly as a result of investment by Somalis who have returned home from abroad. "The progress is quite remarkable," Lazzarini said, pointing to its new airport and hospital. The Somali army and African Union peacekeepers have driven the al Qaeda-linked militant group al Shabaab, which once ruled much of Somalia, out of major strongholds over the last year.

If security improvements continue, the entrepreneurial private sector will continue to be the most dynamic contributor to economic growth. For 2015, growth is projected at 2.7 percent.

We are encouraged by the effort made by the FGS in consultation with the Interim Regional Administrations to initiate work on a long-term development framework (Vision 2035) to positively shape the future socioeconomic transformation of Somalia. We acknowledge that this long term framework must be linked to strategies such as the African Union (AU) Agenda 2063, and reflect the global Sustainable Development Goals. 32. We commend the work done by the FGS and partners, including civil society, in fostering stabilization in the areas recovered from Al Shabaab.

High Level Partnership Forum opens in Mogadishu July 29, 2015 The first ever Ministerial High-Level Partnership Forum (HLPF) has opened in Mogadishu co-chaired by Somali president Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud and UN special representative Nicholas Kay. The forum brings together 30 international delegations and more than 120 participants from all branches of Somali government, including Parliament and the Interim Regional Administrations, and the international community. The HLPF will review overall progress against the New Deal Somali Compact, focusing on political and security progress over the past six months. The HLPF represents a critical point at which to review this progress, address the challenges, identify possible gaps, and agree on what must be accomplished by the end of 2015. According to a press statement from the presidency, one of the main outcomes expected from the forum is the guiding principles and an action plan outlining the process for reaching a workable agreement on the 2016 electoral process will be presented.
