Mr. Aynte drops a nugget on "Somalia Unity" on Fagaaraha gathering...

Recommended Posts

Move the cursor to 27 minutes & 30 seconds.

 

 

Mr Aynte recalled how Somalia's gov't was thwarted after they seek London Communique be added clauses which re-affirm Somalia's territorial integrity and unity. The opposition from Somaliland's many friends who were seating on the roundtable was a confronting reality to many.

 

Another nail on the proverbial Somali Unity coffin.

Barwaaqo,

What he didn't mention is that Somaliland's budget 100% locally sourced. Whereas the SFG budget is 50% donations from IC. That is over 100 million donated directly as budget support. So, essentially the Mogadishu gov't's locally sources income comes far short of the $237 million that he mentioned.

 

There are rumours that Turkey is not as forthcoming with their Somalia budgetary support to villa Somalia as they were during HSM's tenure,.

 

World Bank have recently helped SL ministry of Finance to implement a computerised taxation system. This new system which in trail mode at Berbera and Togawachale, when rolled out across the nation, it will help to dramatically cut revenue that is lost through corruption and mismanagement. As it is a centralised and monitored by different stakeholders including auditor general office.

Totally taken out of context, the reasons why some delegates refused a statement like that is unknown. Let us not assume motives. Ceynte was putting forward the argument that "how the international community's meddling has contributed to the state of chaos in Somali politics." As a clear example of this meddling, he recounts the negotiation rounds prior to the London conference in 2012.

 

However, as I can recall London conference's communique did have some diluted statement regarding Somalia's unity being indivisible. Now fast forward five years, if Somaliland had powerful friends back then, why has not much changed in Somaliland's quest for independence.
