Kulanka labada madaxweyne oo ahaa mid dib loogu bilaabayay wada-hadallada dowladda federaalka Soomaaliya iyo Somaliland, ayada oo Somaliland ay muujisay dabacsanaan aan hore u dhicin wada-hadalladii hore.
Guddoomiye Faysal Cali Waraabe ayaa sheegay in socdaalka Muuse Biixi uu ku tegay Jabuuti iyo wada-hadallada uu dib u bilaabay uusan ka talo gelin siyaasiyiinta Somaliland iyo mucaaradkaba.
“Waxaa asbuucii dhoweyd bilowday arrin aanu fileyn, oo waxaa war ku helnay Muuse Biixi wuxuu tegay Jabuuti. Ma jirin wax dadka kala socodsiiyay oo anagana nala socodsiiyay aysan jirin,” ayuu yiri guddoomiye Faysal Cali Waraabe.
“Waxay aheyd (Muuse Biixi) in doorashadii uu waqtigeeda qabto, xeerkii uu sii daayo. Waqti aan maanta Soomaaliya hadal la furno saacadeedii ma joogno.”
Sidoo kale waxa uu sheegay in Muuse Biiix aan hadda laga sugeyn inuu wada-hadal la furo Soomaaliya, balse ay aheyd inuu qabto doorashada, sida uu hadalka u dhigay guddoomiyaha xisbiga mucaaradka Ucid.
“Waxaa u aragnaa socdaalka uu Jabuuti ku tegay fallaari gil-gilasho kagama go’do,” ayuu yiri Eng. Faysal Cali Waraabe oo weyn ugu dhaliilay Muuse Biixi inuu wada-tashi la’aan ku tegay Jabuuti, uuna dib u furo wada-hadallada.
Si kastaba, in ay wada-hadallada ku bilowdeen heer sidaan u dabacsan oo ogolaansho badani ay ka muuqato ayaa loo tirinayaa inay horseed u tahay cadaadiska gudaha ka haysta Muuse Biixi, oo dhawaan lumiyay Sool, uuna buuq siyaasadeed xooggan ku furan yahay.

WASHINGTON, DC: The Executive Boards of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA) have approved[1] the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative Completion Point for Somalia, which provides total debt service savings for the country of US$4.5 billion.[2] Following HIPC Completion Point, Somalia’s external debt has fallen from 64 percent of GDP in 2018 to less than 6 percent of GDP by end 2023. This debt relief will facilitate access to critical additional financial resources that will help Somalia strengthen its economy, reduce poverty, and promote job creation.
Debt service relief has been provided by the IMF (US$343.2 million), IDA (US$448.5 million), African Development Fund (ADF) (US$131.0 million), other multilateral creditors (US$573.1 million), as well as by bilateral and commercial creditors (US$3.0 billion). Bilateral creditors include members of the Paris Club, creditors from the Arab Coordination Group, and other official bilateral creditors.
“Somalia’s debt relief process has been nearly a decade of cross governmental efforts spanning three political administrations. This is a testament to our national commitment and prioritization of this crucial and enabling agenda,” said Somalia’s President, H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. “For Somalia to move forward in the positive economic direction we all needed, we had to reform our laws, systems, policies, and practices. Reaching the HIPC Completion Point is the fruit of these reforms. When my government committed to the reform program nearly a decade ago, this was the result we envisaged.”
“Somalia’s reform journey has been a true national process culminating in the remarkable success of determined economic reform implementation despite external challenges such as painful regular climatic shocks and the ongoing fight against international terrorism. We are proud to have reached the HIPC Completion Point,” said Somalia’s Minister of Finance, H.E. Bihi Iman Egeh. “Through our enabling reforms, we have consistently raised domestic revenue, strengthened public financial management, improved good governance and central banking operations, and enhanced the capacity of our national institutions. We will build on these successes going forward.”
The Executive Directors of both institutions determined that Somalia has made satisfactory progress in meeting the requirements to reach the HIPC Completion Point. Somalia has implemented a poverty reduction strategy for at least one year and maintained a track record of sound macroeconomic management as evidenced by the satisfactory implementation of the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) supported program (see IMF Press Release No. 23/437). This performance was achieved despite Somalia having to face the global Covid-19 pandemic, prolonged and severe drought, a desert locust infestation, the impact of external shocks on food supply and prices, and significant security risks. Somalia maintained steadfast progress on structural reforms and implemented thirteen of fourteen floating Completion Point triggers, including on public financial and expenditure management, domestic revenue mobilization, governance, social sectors, and statistics. The IMF Executive Board granted a waiver for the adoption and implementation of a single import duty tariff schedule at all ports.
“Somalia has made significant strides in rebuilding its economy and institutions after a devastating civil war. Reaching the HIPC Completion Point is a testament to the Somali authorities’ strong and sustained policy and reform efforts over the past years, despite numerous challenges, as well as the strong support from international partners,” said the IMF’s Director for the Middle East and Central Asia, Jihad Azour. “The Completion Point is a momentous achievement that restores debt sustainability and over time offers access to new external financing to support inclusive growth and poverty reduction. Maintaining sound macroeconomic policies and sustaining the reform momentum remain critical after the Completion Point for Somalia to reap the full benefits of the debt relief.”
“Reaching the HIPC Completion Point is a historic milestone for which the Somalia Government deserves full credit,” said the World Bank Vice President for Eastern and Southern Africa, Victoria Kwakwa. “Somalia has implemented critical reforms in support of pro-poor growth, poverty reduction, better public financial management and debt management. These reforms establish the conditions for the effective use of irrevocable debt relief to support the people of Somalia. Deepening structural reforms after the Completion Point will be critical to boost private sector growth and create fiscal space to invest more in human development and infrastructure in support of inclusive and resilient growth.”
The Somali authorities remain firmly committed to sustaining the reform momentum post-HIPC to build resilience, promote inclusive growth, and reduce poverty. The World Bank and IMF will continue working together to provide the technical assistance and policy guidance the authorities need to achieve these goals. The IMF will continue its engagement with Somalia in the context of the new three-year IMF financial arrangement as well as capacity development support sponsored by the Somalia Country Fund. The World Bank has agreed on a new five-year Country Partnership Framework with Somalia focused on continuing support to state and institution building, infrastructure and jobs, human capital, and resilience. The current World Bank portfolio in Somalia stands at US$2.3 billion spanning human capital development, access to energy, and action against cyclical climatic shocks such as floods and drought.
Debt service savings of US$4.5 billion incorporate debt relief of about US$4.2 billion under the Enhanced HIPC Initiative, US$115.1 million under the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (US$96.4 million from IDA and US$18.7 million from ADF), US$164.3 million under beyond-HIPC debt relief from the IMF, and commitments from Paris Club creditors to provide beyond-HIPC debt relief to cancel most of their outstanding claims.
The Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative
In 1996, the World Bank and IMF launched the HIPC Initiative to create a framework in which all creditors, including multilateral creditors, can provide debt relief to the world’s poorest and most heavily indebted countries to ensure debt sustainability, and thereby reduce the constraints on economic growth and poverty reduction imposed by the unsustainable debt service burdens in these countries. Somalia is the 37th country to reach Completion Point under the HIPC Initiative.
The Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI)
Created in 2005, the aim of the MDRI is to further reduce the debt of eligible low-income countries and provide additional resources to help them reach their development objectives. Under the MDRI, three multilateral institutions—the World Bank’s IDA, the IMF, and the African Development Fund—provide 100 percent debt relief on eligible debts to qualifying countries, at the time they reach the HIPC Initiative Completion Point.

Sunday December-31-2023-{HMC} – Degrading Al Shabaab and improving the capability of the Somali Security Forces (SSF) are top priorities for the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) in 2024.
These New Year challenges were laid out by ATMIS Force Commander Lt. Gen. Sam Okiding and ATMIS Police Commissioner, CP Hillary Sao Kanu in respective end-of-year messages.
“Our primary task next year will be the degradation of Al Shabaab. Al Shabaab must be defeated so that the people of Somalia can live in peace and harmony,” the ATMIS Force Commander declared.
To help achieve these aims, a conference bringing together all ATMIS sector commanders will be held in Mogadishu to refine the current Concept of Operations (CONOPS) to effectively counter Al Shabaab’s asymmetrical warfare.
The Police Commissioner highlighted that the police component would focus on imparting specialist skills to the SPF and enhancing community-based initiatives.
“In the new year, we are going to streamline our training on community policing, investigative skills, combating financial crimes, money laundering, trafficking and public order management,” stated CP Kanu.
She noted that community policing had proven to be successful in fostering cooperation between security forces and residents, strengthening the fight against Al Shabaab.
“Community policy has strengthened cooperation between security forces and the residents. This is important because we need total cooperation of community members in the fight against Al Shabaab,” added CP Kanu
Reviewing the achievements of 2023, Lt. Gen. Okiding pointed to the completion of 236 military operations, with 41 percent conducted jointly with the Somali Security Forces (SSF).
The operations he noted were instrumental in securing population centres, safeguarding main supply routes, liberating key towns and villages such as Farqalaal, Gadaan and Cali Fooldheere Forest and facilitating the distribution of humanitarian aid to distressed communities.
“It is important to note that ATMIS also collaborated with Somali Security Forces (SSF) in driving out Al Shabab in areas like Jubaland, Galmudug, Middle Shabelle and Lower Shabelle,” added Lt. Gen. Okiding.
The Force Commander disclosed that ATMIS will intensify its mentorship programme for the Somali National Army (SNA) personnel and regularly advise the government on capability development to ensure resilience of the forces left behind.
The Force Commander also singled out the successful conclusion of the first phase of ATMIS troops drawdown in June and the consolidation of gains made under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), the precursor to ATMIS, as one of the major achievements.
“Throughout the year our focus has been the transfer of security responsibilities to the Federal Government of Somalia and we successfully concluded phase one of ATMIS troops drawdown,” he observed.
Other activities conducted by the military component included the provision of clean water to local communities, medical care and outpatient services, food donations and infrastructural development.
CP Kanu highlighted the significant achievements of the ATMIS Police component in terms of training and providing operational support to the Somali Police Force (SPF).
“We (ATMIS Police component) conducted numerous joint patrols together with the SPF and we also deployed our officers to secure different government installations, namely the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, and also at General Kahiye Police Academy,” she explained.
Lt. Gen Okiding and CP Kanu, praised the dedication of troops and police officers serving with the Mission, urging them to remain vigilant and avoid complacency.
“Our officers should remain vigilant in the new year and avoid unnecessary mistakes that give Al Shabaab an advantage,” said the Force Commander, while urging Somalis to foster and embrace unity in the New Year.
Concurring with Lt. Gen. Okiding’s sentiments, CP Kanu urged the residents to selflessly guard national unity even after ATMIS’s departure.
“My message to the people of Somalia is about unity and ensuring that they work together to gain peace that we have all been fighting for,” added the Police Commissioner.
