    Mary Harper

    BBC Somalia analyst

     

     

    Somalia is a good test case for the New Deal. It certainly fits the criteria for a fragile state,
    given that for six years in a row it has come top of the list of the world's most failed states.

     

    The New Deal focuses on peace and state-building. Without these, goes the argument, there can be no meaningful development, and aid money simply goes to waste. This has certainly been the case in Somalia, where billions of dollars have been thrown at a problem that refuses to go away.

     

    The EU and Somalia argue that now is a good time to adopt the New Deal. They say the country has entered a new era, with a more legitimate government and progress on the security front.

     

    But it is possible that the Brussels meeting will simply be the latest in the long list of expensive conferences on Somalia that end with ambitious communiques but have little or no impact on the development of the country.

    Here is the list

    there is no way this guy can get permission to get close to qoslaye, saacid or faroole, there is a possibility maybe he will have Axmed Madoobe, I can see the old sheikh being grilled about his past and present principles.

    what amazes me is the amount of research input he made before the interview, the constructive way of questioning, the no nonsense of fact finding eye contact. this guy makes any hard Somali politician worry, fear and sweat.

     

    A.Karim Ali Kaar is the best Somali journalist i have witnessed.

    ...Unlike Asad, he stepped down within weeks of these "protest" his only reward being hauled into court in a stretcher. what does anyone gain from that? The dignified thing to have done after he stepped down would have been to
    thank and let him retire in peace
    for his last few years.

     

    Thank him????? lol, you must be a man with no soul sxb.

     

    International Human rights organisations such as Amnesty blame this man over the death of 800 peaceful protesters during the 2011 up-rise, let alone the killings, the torture and the disappearance for his 30 years rule. plus the billions he stashed overseas banks and properties.http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/05/19/egypt.revolution.report/index.html

     

     

    to the notion of him stepping down voluntarily is just a fabricated lie, it's a world wide reported fact that Mubarak stepped down after the army gave him ultimatum to step down or be removed, otherwise Mubarak would've fought to the last man to hold power like Gadafi & Asad.
