China is the world’s largest official creditor, but we lack basic facts about the terms and conditions of its lending. Very few contracts between Chinese lenders and their government borrowers have ever been published or studied.
This paper is the first systematic analysis of the legal terms of China’s foreign lending. We collect and analyze 100 contracts between Chinese state-owned entities and government borrowers in 24 developing countries in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Oceania, and compare them with those of other bilateral, multilateral, and commercial creditors.
Three main insights emerge. First, the Chinese contracts contain unusual confidentiality clauses that bar borrowers from revealing the terms or even the existence of the debt. Read more
Qalabka farsamo ee ciyaartoyga iyo niyadda ay ku ciyaaraan, marka ay garoonka galaan waxay ku xidhan yihiin tababarka ay qaateen iyo hadba dareenkooda, sida loo diyaariyo inta aanay garoonka gelin ka hor. Waxa kale oo ay ku xidhan yihiin jawiga guud ee ku geddaaman ciyaarta.
Waxa taas la mid ah loolanka siyaasiyiinta dhawr xisbi dhex mara xilliga doorashada. Qaabka doorashadu u dhacdo, laga bilaabo maalinta ololaha la bilaabo, maalinta codeynta, ilaa dharaarta lagu dhawaaqo natiijada waxay ku xidhan yihiin:
Mabaa’dida axsaabtaasi ay leeyihiin. Nooca doorashada, dhaqanka shacbiga iyo ujeeddada iyo hadafka hadba doorashadaas laga leeyahay.
Guusha doorashooyinkii isku sidkanaa ee indhaha dunida soo jiitay, caalamkuna la yaaban sida ay innoogu suurtogashay, waxa u sabab ah arrimo dhawr ah.
Shacbiga Somaliland oo xornimada iyo madaxbannaanida jecel, waayo-arag u ah doorashooyinka, horena u soo maray gumaysi iyo nidaamka Taliska kaligii taliyenimada.
Shacbiga oo waayo-arag u ah faa’iidooyinka halka qof iyo hal cod ah, iyo nabad ku wareejinta xilalka kala duwan ee Madaxtooyo, Golaha Wakiillada iyo Dawladaha Hoose.
Waxa ahmiyad gaar ah leh qaabka Jamhuuriyadda Somaliland ugu dhaqanto dimuqraadiyadda oo aan ahayn, mid iyadoo duuduub ah la soo waariday, balse ah mid lagu saleeyey hannaan dhaqameed iyo deegaameed oo munaasib ku ah shacbiga Somaliland.
Dhaqameynta iyo deegaameynta oo wixii mushkilad ah ama iska-hor imaad kasta hore loogu soo xaliyey, iyadoo la isku tashanayo, Ilaahayna la talo saaranayo, lagana ilaalinayo farogelin shisheeye.
Saddexda xisbi qaran oo leh mabda’ kaliya. Mabda’aas oo ah in dalka la horumariyo, loona raadiyo aqoonsiga ay xaqa u leedahay, waxayna taasi shacbiga iyo dalka ka badbaadisay kala-qaybsan siyaasadeed oo ay xisbiyadu yeeshaan.
Mabda’a mideysan waxa muujiyey faa’iidadiisa madaxda xisbiyada, murrashaxiintii iyo taageereyaasha oo caddeeyey inay ku kala duwan yihiin oo kaliya qaabka dalka loo dhisayo, loo hormarinayo iyo aqoonsiga loo raadinayo.
Hadafka middaysan waxa ka dhashay inay isku goob ka wada codeeyaan taageerayaasha saddexda xisbi, iyagoo astaamo kala duwan sita. Waxa kale oo faa’iidada ka mid ah inay ka marag kacayaan in xisbiga talada hayaa aan looga baqin ku shubashada doorashada.
Xildhibaannada la dhaariyey ama kuwa la dhaarin doono ee Golaha Wakiillada iyo Goleyaasha Deegaanka, waxaan xasuusinayaa, in dalka iyo deegaannadooda horumarkoodu ku xidhan yihiin, hadba danta guud sida ay uga horumariyaan danahooda gaar ahaaneed. Waxaan xasuusinayaa in Ilaahayna xisaabin doono inay maanka ku hayaan.
Waxaan leeyahay mar haddii aan kala duwanaansho fikir siyaasadeed oo kala fogeynayaa aanu jirin, in sida ay ololaha ku galeen, shacbigana ugu ballanqaadeen inay ku dhaqmaan, kuna shaqeeyaan.

During thirty years in the cold of non-recognition as a state by the international community and the African Union, Somaliland has engineered a unique hybrid democracy that’s possibly the most impressive in the Horn and Eastern Africa. Built on a foundation of traditional institutions and painful memories of war between 1980 and 1991, quietly and without external interference the small country has successfully built a resilient democracy with a capacity for self-correction; and, a peaceful society that demonstrates what’s possible when a people get the software right and trust informs relations between a people and those who govern them.
Nairobi (Caasimada Online) – Gabar 23 jir Soomaali ah oo laga afduubtay xaafadda California Estate ee magaalada Nairobi ayaa kooxda haysata waxay dalbadeen lacag madax furasho oo dhan Shan milyan oo shilling-ka Kenya ah, una dhiganta 46,000 oo dollar, sida uu weriyey wargeyska The Standard.

Rahel, a rape survivor in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. Credit…Lynsey Addario
Meet Rahel, 19, a human face of a brutal ethnic cleansing now underway in Ethiopia.“There were three soldiers,” she said as she lay on a bed in a crowded hospital. “They were asking me to take off my dress. I refused. I said, ‘You can kill me.
’”The men paid no heed and gang-raped her, part of a scorched-earth counterinsurgency campaign of murder, rape, pillage and famine by Ethiopian and Eritrean troops against rebels and also against innocents like Rahel in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.
Countless thousands of Tigrayans have already been killed, and tens of thousands of children are in imminent danger of starving to death. This month the United Nations declared that Tigray was in the midst of the world’s worst famine in a decade.
Tigray has attracted little attention, partly because Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has kept out most journalists (expelling one working for The New York Times), so there aren’t many photos or video clips of the suffering.
These photos were taken by Lynsey Addario, a conflict photographer and old friend who happened to be in Ethiopia to shoot photos for National Geographic, a visit approved long before the latest attacks. She interviewed nine women who had been raped as part of the ethnic cleansing.
Rahel told Addario: “When I got home, I told my mother that I was raped and that I thought I might be pregnant. My mother kicked me out of the house and said, ‘How can you get pregnant with these killers?’”
Rahel was being treated at a hospital in Tigray that soldiers had looted earlier. A hospital official said troops had carried off everything that they could and destroyed the rest, including X-ray machines, neonatal equipment, the contents of an OB-GYN center, pharmaceuticals and even medical records.
The violence follows decades of ethnic tensions in Ethiopia. For many years, Tigrayans ruled the country harshly, but Tigrayan domination ended in 2018, and Prime Minister Abiy initially won the Nobel Peace Prize for taking genuine steps toward peace and democracy. Then last November he dispatched armed forces to crush a mutiny in Tigray, leading to civil war. Abiy then invited in Eritrean soldiers who have been particularly brutal toward Tigrayans and who now seem unwilling to leave.
A Times colleague reported that soldiers had beaten a man to death with beer bottles. The United Nations reports that girls as young as 8 have been targeted for sexual assault. CNN chronicled a massacre of people attending Mass at a church.
In contrast to other countries where atrocities are unfolding, including Myanmar and Syria, Ethiopia is one where the United States has considerable influence, if we will use it.
President Biden has denounced the “large-scale human rights abuses.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken has bluntly referred to “ethnic cleansing,” and the United States has imposed visa sanctions on some Ethiopian officials. That’s all welcome but seems tepid in the face of mass atrocities and starvation on this scale. I worked with Biden during the Darfur genocide and I know he cares about distant suffering; after seven months of brutality in Tigray, we need to see more signs of that concern.The newest catastrophe in Tigray is mass starvation, with the U.N. reporting that 350,000 people are already suffering famine conditions. “This is going to get a lot worse,” said Mark Lowcock, the U.N. humanitarian chief.
The famine appears in part a tactic to starve a restive people into submission. Ethiopia has allowed some assistance, but soldiers have blocked or impeded much emergency aid, and Addario talked to one farmer who had four sons shot dead for working in their fields.Shamefully, the U.N. Security Council has yet to discuss the crisis publicly. That’s because China and Russia are preventing a public meeting, claiming that this is Ethiopia’s internal matter.
Here is a photo Addario took of a 5-year-old girl screaming in pain as her wounds were being cleaned after her family home was destroyed. An internal matter? Addario says nine people in the house were killed, including the girl’s sister, mother and grandfather.
When governments turn weapons on their own people, that is no longer a domestic affair. That is a challenge to our shared humanity.
“Rape is being used systematically to terrorize and brutalize women and girls,” Lowcock told a closed session of the Security Council this week, according to a copy of his remarks that I obtained. “Eritrean soldiers are using starvation as a weapon of war. … Aid workers have been killed, interrogated, beaten, blocked from taking aid to the starving and suffering and told not to come back.”
We can’t stop every atrocity. We can’t avert every murder or rape. We can’t save the life of every starving child. But this is a rare case where we do have significant leverage: Ethiopia is the largest recipient of American aid in sub-Saharan Africa and a close security partner of the United States. We should apply every ounce of leverage we have to rein in a savagery in Tigray that increasingly reeks of genocide.
Dhuusamareeb (Caasimada Online) – Inkasta oo si guud ay sanadkaan u adag tahay doorashada xildhibaanada ee baarlamaanka Soomaaliya ayaa haddana waxaa jira saddex magaalo oo ah kuwa uga adag ama cabsida weyn laga qabo ee doorashooyinka ay ka dhici doonaan.

DHUSAMAREB (HOL) - Galmudug state president Ahmed Qoorqoor has presented a list of four individuals to serve in the state indirect elections committee to the Office of the Prime Minister.
The recent parliamentary and civic elections in Somaliland succeeded where many Horn of Africa states have failed due to authoritarian regimes meddling in the electoral process.
The success was not accidental but a show of the the breakaway nation’s nascent democracy. The elections were preceded by meticulous planning and preparations by the country’s National Electoral Commission (NEC) to guarantee a free and fair poll.
NEC spearheaded electronic mass voter registration and education which netted more than 1.3 million voters. The government and security organs accorded the electoral body with support, including financial and security, without an iota of interference in the polls.
In a display of political maturity and growing democracy, pro-government and opposition politicians conducted issue-based campaigns. The main opposition parties, Somaliland National Party (Wadani) and Justice and Welfare Party (UCID), and the ruling Peace, Unity and Development Party (Kulmiye), sold their manifestos to the electorates peacefully and devoid of clan connotations.
Electoral technology
On election day, unlike other jurisdictions where polls are marred with hitches, it was all systems go. The electoral body deployed state-of-the-art Iris Biometrics Voter Verification System (IBVVS), becoming the first country to use the electoral technology in the Horn. Thanks to the technology, voting was hastened resulting in high voter turnout.
Somalilanders, including the marginalised groups like the elderly and persons with disabilities, came out in large numbers to vote.
Despite its being a small country, and whose international recognition is pending, Somaliland managed to deliver free, fair, credible and transparent elections. The polls were given a clean bill of health by local and international observers, civil society, diplomats and the media.
To cap it all, the incumbent, President Muse Bihi Abdi conceded defeat in some areas where his party, Kulmiye, lost to opposition candidates. His actions have earned him admiration across the political divide, projecting him as a statesman and democrat. Losers and winners even took pictures congratulating each other for the good fight and telling the world “how it is done in Somaliland”.
The results were announced on time and accepted across the political divide. The polls provided an opportunity for marginalised groups, especially the youth, to have a voice in Parliament. Barkhad Batuun was elected from the minority clan of Gabooye and Abdikarim Moge, a youthful activist was elected Mayor of Hargeisa, the capital city.
Credible elections
Somaliland has taught us that it is possible to hold credible elections without conflict and unnecessary enmity. Secondly, it brought to the fore the role of technology in aiding credible and transparent elections, especially in polarised political environments.
Apart from blossoming democratic space, Somaliland has made great strides in infrastructure development and security. Since its secession from Somalia in May 1991, the territory has been governed by democratically elected governments. Indeed, it has over the years developed a stable, democratic system of politics, merging modern and traditional elements, with seven elections over the past 30 years, including a referendum in 2001.
The democratic practice in the country, as evidenced by peaceful regular elections and handover of power, is an envy of many in the region. Even when poll outcomes have been close, like in the 2003 presidential election won by Dahir Riyale Kahin by a paltry 80 votes against Ahmed Mahamoud Silanyo, the country has remained politically stable.
Somaliland’s successful elections and stability has raised its profile significantly. The international community should speed up the process of recognising it as a sovereign state.
As Kenya prepares for a general election in just over year, it has a sister in Somaliland to look up to. We should have no verbal and physical attacks and counter-attacks among political competitors, loss of property and definitely no loss of lives. It is just not worth it.

Madaxweynaha Galmudug, Axmed Cabdi Kaariye Qoor Qoor ayaa xafiiska Ra’iisul wasaare Rooble u gudbiyay liiska xubnaha laga beddelay guddiga doorashooyinka ee cabashada laga keenay.
Xubnaha la soo bedelay ayaa ah affar xubnood oo ku jira guddiyada doorasho Heer Federaal, heer Goboleed iyo hal xubin oo ah Xallinta Khilaafaadka.

“2016-kii wixii ka dhacay Cadaado hadday soo laabtaan Yoomul Qiyaama dhacaaya Soomaaliya, waligey isma oran waagaas wax nuucaasaa ka dhici kara Soomaaliya. Ragga baahasha metalayana waa raggii laftiisii qaar badanoo ka mid ah ayaa joogo war yaan sidii Cadaado lagu celin arrinta waa iga dar-daaran,” ayuu yiri madaxweynihii hore Galmudug.
Sidoo kale wuxuu Xaaf weerar afka ah ku qaaday madaxweynaha Galmudug, Axmed Cabdi Kaaroye (Qoor Qoor) ioo uu tilmaamay in isaga loo adeegsaday mudadii uu joogay xafiiska.
“Saddexdii sano ee aan meesha joogay Dubbihii la’ii adeegsaday ayuu ahaa Qoor Qoor oo la’iila dhacaayey, isaga iyo ragga uu wataba,” ayuu yiri Axmed Ducaale Geelle (Xaaf).
Waxa kale oo uu intaasi ku sii daray “Labo sano inaan diyaarad ku kormaro Cadaado, Qoor-Qoorna maalintii ugu horreysay buu tegay illaa hadana la qaabilaayo, Saleebaan jawaabteeda waa laga rabaa,”.
Ugu dambeyn Xaaf ayaa khudbadda uu maanta jeediyey ku muujiyey inuu weli ku jiro hami siyaasadeed oo uu ku doonayo inii ka qeybgalo doorashada soo socota, isaga oo farriin ku aadan damaciisa u diray madaxweynaha Galmudug Axmed Cabdi Kaariye (Qoor Qoor).
“Inuu shaki i geliyo maantana ka rajeyn maayo wax waa iska rabaa hadda, lkn umaleyn maayo inaan ku sii dheereynaayo,” ayuu sii raaciyey.
Hadalkan ayaa kusoo aadayo, iyada oo Galmudug iyo deegaanada kale ee maamul goboleedyada ay ka bilaaban doonto doorashada xildhibaanada cusub ee Soomaaliya.
Xubnaha cusub ee golaha deegaanka degmada Hargeysa ayaa maanta Cabdirakiin Axmed Mooge u doortay Maayirka cusub ee caasimadda Somaliland, sidoo kale Maayir ku xigeenka ayaa loo doortay Axmed Cumar.
Cabdirakiin Axmed Mooge waxaa doortay dhammaan golaha deegaanka degmada Hargeysa oo ka kooban 17 xubnood, waxayna natiijada doorashadu ahayd mid horay loo sii ogoo, maadaama uusan jirin musharax la tartamayay.
Maayir Mooge oo ka soo baxay xisbiga mucaaradka ah ee Waddani ayaa ahaa musharaxii ugu codadka badnaa doorashadii isku sidkaneyd ee dhawaan ka dhacday Somaliland, waxaana taasi sababtay in musharaxiinta Maayirka Hargeysa ee xisbiyada Kulmiye iyo Ucid ay u tanaasulaan Cabdikariin.
Maayir Mooge ayaa markii la dhaariyay kadib warbaahinta la hadlay wuxuu sheegay in uu ka dhabeyn doono ballanqaadyadii uu sameeyay markii uu musharaxa ahaa, sidoo kale wuxuu u mahadceliyay madaxweynaha Somaliland Muuse Biixi oo sheegey in uu mideeyay golaha deegaanka Hargeysa.
