Muqdisho (Caasimadda Online) – Shaki kama taagnaa inuu jiro isbedel dhanka cimilada oo wayn, iyadoo dadka ku nool Magaalada Muqdisho ay dareemayaan isbedelkaan ku yimid dhanka Cimilada Somaliya. Isbedelka wayn ee dhanka Cimilada ee la dareemay ayaa ah habeenkii oo dadka reer Muqdisho ay dareemaan qabow badan oo qar qaryo wata, horay uma aysan arki jirin dadka reer Muqdisho qabowga noocaan oo kale ah. Sidoo kale maalintii waxaa ka jira Magaalada dabeyl badan oo carada kicinaysa, waana mida keentay dhaqdhaqaaqa socodka dadka maalintii inuu gaabis noqdo, qof walibana uu ku ekaado goobtiisa, shaqada gurigiisa iyo meesha uu ku sugan yahay. Inta ugu badan dadka oo ah kuwa ka shaqeeya goobo kala duwan oo Magaalada ah ayaa qabowga aroortii jira wuxuu saameeyay jadwalkooda shaqada, maadaama ay ku adkaatay inay kacaan subaxdii xilli hore. Qaybaha Bulshada oo isugu jira kuwa shaqaale ah iyo kuwa aanan shaqaale aheyn oo xarumaha shaqada milki u leeyihiin, ayaa dadka milkiyada leh goobaha shaqada waxa ay sheegayaan hurdada inay ku gaaraan illaa 9-ka Subaxdii iyaga oo ka kici waaya hurdada, sababo ku aadan qabowga subaxdii ka jira magaalada. Shaki kama taagna qofka ku nool Muqdisho haddii aad tahay inaad dareentay qabow badan oo kugu kalifay inaad aroortii hore aad hurdada ka kici waydo ama aad qubeysan waydo, laakiin sababta ay tahay isbedelka dhanka Cimilada ee Muqdisho lagu arkay. Marka laga hadlaayo dhulka Somalida Muqdisho waxa ay ka mid tahay Magaalooyinka ugu wanaagsan dhanka Cimilada ee aan qabow iyo kuleyl midna aheyn, maadaama cimiladadeeda dhexdhexaad ay tahay. Deeganada Somalida waxaa aad ugu qabow dhulka ku xayndaaban Buuraha, sida Magaalooyinka Ceerigaabo, Sheekh, Wajaale, Boorama, Hargaysa iyo deegano kale oo intooda badan dhaca Waqooyiga dalka, dadkana ay la qabsadeen qabowga xoogan ee ka jira deeganadaasi. Dadka ku taqasuusay arrimaha isbedbedelka Cimilada, illaa hadda sabab rasmi ah kuma sheegin isbedelkaan dhanka Cimilada ah ee laga dareemay Magaalada Muqdisho. Heerkulka Muqdisho ayaa maraya 23, markii hore wuxuu ahaan jiray 34 illaa 30 inta u dhaxeysa, balse hadda farqi wayn ayaa u dhaxeeya.

Ciidanka Amniga Puntland (PSF) ayaa sheegay inay kaalin xoogan ka qaateen sugida Amniga Madaxweynaha Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya Booqashadiisa uu Puntland ku marayo, taasoo haatan gabagabo ku dhow. Qoraal kooban oo kasoo baxay PSF, ayaa lagu sheegay in madaweyne Farmaajo iyo wafdigiisa intii ay ku sugnaayeen gudaha Puntland iyo haatanba aanay la kulmin wax dhibaato amni ah, iyagoo taas badelkeed dareemayay neecowda amni ee ka jirta Puntland iyo soo dhowayn aan kala joogsi lahayn oo illaa iyo haatan socoto. Saraakiisha ciidanka PSF, waxay xaqiiyeen in ciidan aan ahayn ciidanka Puntland uusan sugayn ammaanka wafuuda madaxweynaha iyo meelaha uu booqanayay, marka laga reebo ilaalo kooban oo madaxweynaha uu watay. Saraakiisha ciidanka PSF waxaa kale oo ay beeniyeen in habo yaraatee wax khatar amni ay ka jirto gobolka Bari gaar ahaan buuraha Galgala, halkaas oo ay sheegeen inay ciidamada difaaca Puntand ku baacsanayaan kooxaha argigxisada oo iyagu laftooda baxsad ah.

Puntland iyo Soomaaliland ayaa ciidamadii ugu badnaa kusoo daabulay gobalka Sool gaar’ahaan duleedka tuulada Tukaraq oo ay xiisad dagaal ka qaraxday 08-Janaayo-2018 markii ay halkaas iska hor-imaad kooban kula wareegeen ciidamada Soomaaliland. Tukaraq oo horay u ahayd saldhiga u weyn ee Puntland ku leedahay gobalka Sool ayaa tan iyo markii ay la wareegtay Soomaaliland waxaa ka aloosnaa xiisadii ugu cuslayd, Madaxweynaha Puntland Cabdiwali Cali Gaas ayaa ku dhaawaqay dagaal ay Puntland isaga difaacayso wuxuu ugu yeeray duulaanka Hargeysa, sidoo kale maamulka Soomaaliland ayaa sheegay inay gaarayaan xaduudkooda oo ay u arkaan inay tahay meel aan sidaa uga fogeyn caasimada Puntland ee Garowe, waxayna tan iyo xiligaas labada dhanba boqolaal ciidana oo si aada u hubaysan ku daabulaayeen degaanadaas. Wararka aan ka helayno jiidaha ay isku hor fadhiyaan labada dhan ayaa sheegaya inay ciidamadu isku muuqdaan xili walbana la filan karo dagaal ka qarxa degaanadaas. Ma jirto haba hayaraate wax waan-waan nabadeeda oo laga dhex wado labada dhan, waxayna wararka ay helayso PUNTLAND POST sheegayaan inay guuldaraysteen xal nabadeed oo ay wadeen xubno kasocda qaramada midoobay iyo Dawladaha deriska markii ay Soomaaliland ka dhega adaygtay inay ciidamadooda kala noqdaan degaanka Tukaraq oo ay maalmo kahor la wareegeen. Sidoo kale odayaasha iyo Isimada Gobalka Sool ayaa ugu baaqay dadweynaha ku dhaqan degaanadaas inay iska diifaacaan duulaanka Soomaaliland. Marka la eego inaysan jirin xal nabadeed oo laga dhex wado dhinacyada isku hor fadhiya Tukaraq, Ciidamada lagu soo daabulaayo iyo hanjabaadaha culus ee hawada la isku marinaayo waxay u muuqataa inaan laga fursan doonin collaad ka qaraxda gobalka Sool.

The World Bank’s annual ranking of countries by ease of doing business has been compromised by politicized methodology, the bank’s top economist told the Wall Street Journal (paywall). The primary victim? The country of Chile. The high-profile rankings are intended to encourage governments to remove obstacles to business and incentivize economic development. The report combines measures of how easy it is for an entrepreneur to start a business, obtain credit, pay taxes and enforce contracts, among other things. Paul Romer, the World Bank’s Chief Economist since late 2016, found irregularities in how the survey’s methodology was updated from year to year, and intends to correct and republish the ranking for the past four years. Romer said the irregularities manifested themselves in shifts to Chile’s ranking, which was 55th in the 2017 rankings, but as high as 25th a decade ago. In fact, the Chile’s position in the rankings seemed to mirror the country’s politics: During the period in question, Chile alternated between electing socialist Michelle Bachelet and conservative Sebastián Piñera to the presidency. When Piñera was in office, Chile would climb in the rankings; when Bachelet was in office, the country would fall. According to Romer, the volatility resulted from new metrics added to the ranking that dragged down the country’s score, rather than a meaningful change in Chile’s business environment. “I want to make a personal apology to Chile, and to any other country where we conveyed the wrong impression,” Romer told the Journal. “Based on the things we were measuring before, business conditions did not get worse in Chile under the Bachelet administration.” The former director of the report, Chilean economist August Lopez-Claros, is on leave from the World Bank this year. In a statement e-mailed to Quartz, he defended the changes to the ranking method as improvements, implemented transparently and designed to make the product more useful. “The claim that the above methodological changes somehow targeted Chile is wholly without merit,” he writes. “In light of the concerns expressed by World Bank Chief Economist Paul Romer in the media and our commitment to integrity and transparency, we will conduct an external review of Chile’s indicators in the Doing Business report,” the bank said in a statement. Other countries’ positions in the rankings are likely to shift once the methodology is revised. In the current rankings, the top performers are New Zealand, Singapore, and Denmark, while the lowest were Venezuela, Eritrea and, coming in last, Somalia. The widely covered report provides guidance to global investors and governments alike. Some countries, like Nigeria, make improving their rank in the report a matter of explicit public policy. The World Bank has struggled in recent years to find a place in a world where development loans have largely been replaced by private investment in emerging markets—which are not called developing economies anymore. World Bank president Jim Kim has worked to re-orient the institution toward providing independent expertise and advice as much as capital. However, the suggestion that ideology, rather than data, is driving key World Bank communications will not make the institution’s job any easier Source: – Quartz The post A World Bank economist apologized for unfair country rankings and will redo four years of results appeared first on Caasimada Online.

We may never know the human or financial cost of the war in Somalia. The Kenyan government, which at the end of 2011 placed its soldiers under the African Union Mission to Somalia (Amisom), has never made public the number of its troops killed or amount of money it has spent on the war. Key among the numbers which remain a military secret is how many soldiers died in the twin Kulbiyow (2017) and El Adde (2016) attacks. A tally from various media reports show at least 1,000 Kenyans have died since Operation Linda Nchi was launched in 2011 over the abduction of two French tourists Meanwhile, hundreds of families of soldiers killed in the battle field continue languishing without their key breadwinners, some still awaiting compensation. Military insiders say it costs about Sh7,000 a day to keep a soldier in Somalia. This covers food, transport, medical care, communication and water expenses, which translates to Sh210,000 a month and Sh2.52 million a year. here are at least 4,000 Kenyan soldiers in Somalia, meaning it would cost Sh10.08 billion a year to keep them in a war that has no end in sight, at least according to President Uhuru Kenyatta. The war has become a hot political potato and one of the key issues in the last two presidential elections. President Kenyatta, who is serving his second term, has consistently said the Kenyan troops will remain in the war torn nation until the threat level posed by Al Shabaab is brought down. On the flip side, the Opposition insists Kenyan soldiers are better off defending Kenya from within its borders.“The threat remains and therefore we will continue our mission in Somalia,” President Kenyatta said on the campaign trail. “Even as we recognise the sacrifices made so far, we appreciate that this war is not yet won. I urge you all to stand firm in the support of our men and women as we continue our critical mission in Somalia,” he said. According to a survey done last year by Ipsos Synovate, majority of Kenyans (68 per cent), want KDF pulled out of Somalia. Another survey by Twaweza East Africa done after the Kulbiyow attack at a similar time last year said 70 per cent of Kenyans want our troops withdrawn, with 40 per cent saying KDF’s presence in Somalia was increasing the Al Shabaab threat level. For the Opposition, every attack in Kenya has given them an opportunity to reignite the debate on withdrawing troops from Somalia. None of the Opposition figures has offered an alternative strategy of combating Al Shaabab once the troops are recalled. The Al Shabaab has maintained that the continued stay of KDF in Somalia is the key reason it continues to mount attacks in Kenya. So many have been the Al Shabaab’s attacks on Kenyan soil since 2011 that the police and media stopped keeping track of casualties. The Westgate, Mpeketoni and Garrisa University College attacks remain the hallmarks of Kenya’s war in Somalia. Sixty eight people died in the Westgate attack in 2013, 148 students at Garissa University massacre in the 2015 and 128 people in the three weeks of terror in Mpeketoni, Lamu County. “What is clear from the sustained Al Shabaab attacks in Kenya is that they have been significantly weakened inside Somalia and these attacks are meant to scare the Kenyan government through propaganda,” says Patrick Kamau, who teaches International Diplomacy and Peace Studies at the United States International University (USIU). “Kenya’s greatest problem is that none of the countries who have donated troops to Amisom share a border with Somalia. But then again withdrawing the troops may still expose Kenya to terror and that is the dilemma we are facing,” Kamau says. Amisom soldiers are drawn from Uganda, Burundi, Djibouti, Sierra Leone and Kenya. Kenya joined the Amisom troops in 2012 after a year of going it alone through operation Linda Nchi. Soldiers allowances Amisom’s funding comes from multiple sources, including AU member states, the AU Peace Fund, the UN Trust Fund for Amisom (and, later, the Somali National Army), the UN Trust Fund for Somali Transitional Security Institutions, UN assessed peacekeeping contributions, and a range of AU/Amisom partners, including the EU. Soldiers allowances are paid by their governments. The EU then compensates the respective Troop Contributing Countries (TCCs) through Amisom on an annual basis. The funds are only released to Amisom once accounts from the previous payment are signed off. EU provides $1,028 (Sh102,800) for each Amisom soldier each month. Their respective governments then deduct about $200 (Sh20,000) for administrative costs, meaning the soldiers take home about $800 (Sh82,800). Above this, the TCCs still maintain their soldiers on their payroll when they are in Somalia. An MoU between the African Union and Amisom states that families of killed soldiers are entitled to $50,000 (Sh5 million) compensation.
