MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — The controversial two-year term extension for Somalia’s president evaporated Saturday after intense public pressure, as the lower house of parliament approved his request to instead support efforts to organize the country’s long-delayed national election. President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed asked the lawmakers to retreat from their decision last month to extend his time in office. The extension had been blasted by the Senate as illegal and opposed by soldiers who took up key positions in the capital and clashed with other security forces. The extraordinary scene of soldiers firing at each other in the streets of Mogadishu brought back fears for many Somalis that the Horn of Africa nation could collapse back into chaos after years of trying to rebuild. Alarmed, the international community worried that the al-Shabab extremist group would take advantage. Saturday’s actions mean a return to talks on how to carry out the election that has been delayed since early February, when some Somalis believe the president’s term ended. Mohamed asked lawmakers to back the agreement the federal government reached with regional states last September on a way forward for the vote. He asked Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble to lead the election preparations and the related security measures. “I also ask the opposition leaders to play their role in pacifying the country and Mogadishu, in particular, for the sake of the people, country and religion,” the president said. Somalia’s leader also for the first time publicly expressed his condolences to those who died or were displaced during the clashes in Mogadishu. The United Nations has said several tens of thousands fled their homes. Some in the opposition had hoped that the president would resign. Mohamed left the future unclear, not saying whether he would run for a second term. It is unknown how long it will take for the election to be organized. Opposition leaders, however, did not appear to be satisfied with Saturday’s events. “(The president) can never be trusted as he flip-flops between his own words in unpredictable or reasonable ways,” said Abdirahman Abdishakur, one of the opposition candidates. Despite the prime minister’s call for all security forces to return to their barracks, the soldiers backing the opposition remained on the streets of the capital Saturday. Mogadishu was quiet, but tense. And some of the displaced hesitated to go home. “Would you bring your wife and children in the middle of those opposing forces, right in front of and around your house?” asked Mohamed Abdulle Farah, who had fled the Hodan district of the capital.

Nin lagu ganaaxay 12 milyan oo doolar . Nin ayaa lagu xukumay inuu bixiyo $ 12m oo doolar ka dib markii lagu soo eedeeyay inuu gubay saldhig booliis oo ku yaal Minneapolis intii ay socdeen rabshadihii dhacay bishii May ee lasoo dhaafay. Dylan Shakespeare Robinson, oo 23 jir ah, ayaa qirtay dambiga ah inuu qeyb ka ahaa falkaasi oo dhacay bishii Diseembar, waxaana ganaaxa lacageed u sii dheeraan doonta afar sano oo xabsi ah. Qareenka Robinson ayaa yiri “ma jirto fursad macquul ah” oo macmiilkiisu ku awoodi doono inuu bixiyo ganaaxaasi. Saddex nin oo kale oo iyaguna qirtay dambiga ayaa iygana la xukumi doonaa. Maxaa ku dhacay saldhiga booliska? Bishii May ee sanadkii hore, kumanaan dad ah ayaa isugu soo baxay jidadka magaalada Minneapolis si ay uga mudaaharaadaan dilkii ay booliska u geysteen George Floyd. Sarkaalkii hore ee booliiska Minneapolis Derek Chauvin, oo markii dambe shaqada laga ceyriyay laguna helay dambi dil ah, ayaa laga duubay muuqaal isagoo jilbka luqunta kaga hayo Mr Floyd in ka badan sagaal daqiiqo intii la xirayay. Dhimashadii Mr Floyd iyo mudaharaadyadii xigay waxay kiciyeen toddobaadyo xasillooni darro ah, waxaana magaalada ka dhacday bililiqo, dab la qabadsiiyay goobo muhiim ah iyo rabshado. Dibadbaxayaasha waxaa ka mid ahaa Dylan Robinson oo ku sugnaa Brainerd, oo ah magaalo qiyaastii 120 mayl u jirta waqooyiga Minneapolis. Sida laga soo xigtay dacwad oogayaasha, Robinson wuxuu shiday dab kadibna qof kale ayaa ku tuuray xarunta dhexe ee Saddexaad ee magaalada Minneapolis – isagoona sidaasi dab ku qabadsiiyay dhismaha. “Muuqaal laga helay kamirooyinka amniga ee xarunta ayaa muujinaya Robinson oo aalad dab ah shidaya oo uu hayo qof kale kadibna dab ka qabadsiiyay gudaha saldhigga oo u dhow jaranjarada dabaqa koowaad,” saraakiishu ayaa sidaasi sheegtay. Robinson ayaa waxa uu qirtay inuu dambiga galay iyadoo dhanka kalana ay 3 nin oo kale oo lagu kala magacaabo Bryce Michael Williams, Davon De-Andre Turner iyo Branden Michael Wolfe ay iyagana qirteen inay galen dambigaas oo kale inkastoo aan weli iyaga la xukumin. Sidee loo bixinayaa ganaaxa? Marka laga soo tago xukunkiisa afarta sano ah, Robinson waxaa lagu ganaaxay $ 12m oo magdhow ah. Sida laga soo xigtay xafiiska xeer ilaaliyaha Mareykanka, oo kiiska soo oogay, ayaa sheegay in magdhawga waxaa loo bixin doonaa qaabab kala duwan, oo ay ku jiraan mushaharka, akoonada lacagaha ee ugu jira bangiga, iyo lacagaha hawlgabka. Robinson wuxuu awoodi doonaa oo kaliya inuu bixiyo “inyar yar oo lacagtaas ah”, qareenkiisa Mr Mauzy ayaa yiri. Xafiiska Xeer-ilaaliyaha Mareykanka kama uusan jawaabin codsi deg deg ah oo ku saabsan sida Robinson uu awood karayo karo ganaaxa.

With U.S. Support, Small States Can Ably Lead Global Efforts A “Tech For Good” Summit convened by New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern prepares to launch anti-terror “Christchurch Call,” Paris, France, May 2019 Bertrand Guay / Pool via Reuters In sharp contrast with former U.S. President Donald Trump’s “America first” agenda, President Joe Biden and his administration have conspicuously embraced multilateralism. The new team spent its first weeks in office reversing some of the more controversial manifestations of its predecessor’s approach—rejoining the Paris climate accord, halting the United States’ withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), reengaging with the UN Human Rights Council, and conditionally recommitting to the Iran nuclear deal—and Biden and his deputies rarely miss an opportunity to talk up the importance of alliances and international cooperation. This is all generally to the good. From Washington’s perspective, working with other countries to resolve common challenges often means greater legitimacy and lower costs compared with going it alone. But not all multilateralism is created equal. In an era of renewed great-power competition, venues such as the UN Security Council and the G-20 are frequently deadlocked, even when their members share broad interests. Chinese influence has undermined the effectiveness of key international organizations, such as the WHO, and multilateral trade agreements, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, lack domestic political support.The lack of effective mechanisms for coordinating international action has clearly frustrated the new administration and generated a clutch of proposals for new configurations: a T-12 that would unite “techno-democracies,” for example; a D-10 that would bring together leading democratic powers; a “Quad-plus” that would include South Korea or Southeast Asian nations in dialogues with the United States, Japan, India, and Australia; a climate summit that would galvanize global action; and a new pandemic-fighting coalition. Washington should pay special attention, however, to the potential for small countries to take a multilateral lead. Often better equipped to pilot new programs, and better positioned to play honest broker on thorny issues, small countries are sometimes well positioned to lead multilateral efforts with more powerful nations. This combination of small-country leadership and large-state participation—call it “microlateralism”—should emerge as a key instrument in the United States’ collective-action toolkit. GOOD THINGS IN SMALL PACKAGES Versions of microlateralism have proved effective in the past, especially when entrenched conflicts have pitted great powers against one another. In the 1990s, for instance, Norway brokered backchannel negotiations between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, ultimately producing the U.S.-backed Oslo accords. In 1999, Togo led a peace process that, with Washington’s support, helped end Sierra Leone’s civil war. In 2008, Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani convened rival Lebanese factions for talks that, with the support of France, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the United States, produced the Doha Agreement, ending 18 months of political crisis in Lebanon. Small states have also successfully mobilized financial and other resources, and secured important commitments, from their larger counterparts. Beginning in 2015, the Jordanian-led Aqaba Process has brought larger states together to share information and coordinate counterterrorism efforts. After the horrific Christchurch mosque shootings in 2019, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern worked with French President Emmanuel Macron to convene governments and Internet companies to issue the Christchurch Call, a commitment to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online. In March 2020, Austria led the formation of the First Movers Group, creating a venue for countries including Australia, Greece, Israel, and Singapore to discuss responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. And in November 2020, Finland cohosted the Afghanistan Conference, raising $3.3 billion in development support for the beleaguered country. Such ad hoc collective efforts, led by small states but including much larger ones, are often more flexible than long-standing multilateral structures. Drawing on smaller nations’ particular strengths—Scandinavian countries’ long history of conflict mediation, for instance, or Jordan’s experience dealing with extremist groups—allows for a productive division of labor that combines deep expertise with the kinds of resources that larger, more influential countries bring to the table. Leadership by smaller countries can render a multilateral effort more politically palatable to great powers locked in rivalry with one another. Such efforts will, in the best case, be launched with clearly defined, time-bound goals—raising funds for a particular cause, agreeing on principles around a specific issue, resolving a particular crisis—rather than broad mandates of indefinite duration. HOW WASHINGTON CAN HELP Many of the aforementioned microlateral efforts began organically, often thanks to visionary leadership in smaller countries to marshal their unique expertise and convening power. Given their successes, it is time for Washington to take a more proactive role in encouraging their formation. This can include encouraging particular small countries to take on leadership roles, pledging U.S. support for the efforts. It also means resisting the urge always to play convener in chief, urging others to lead multilateral efforts of which the United States will nevertheless be part. An early agenda might start with the digital economy. Estonia, for example, has a population of just 1.3 million and borders a hostile Russia yet ranks ahead of Japan, Singapore, and the United States in global e-governance surveys. Bigger countries—including Mexico, Finland, and Japan, among others—are using Estonia’s open-source backbone X-Road to improve their own digital governance. An Estonian-led microlateral forum could help many countries to improve the efficiency and delivery of government services and health care via digital systems. Indeed, international frameworks that allow smaller countries to take the lead on digital issues have come to the fore in the last year, including the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement, signed by Singapore, Chile, and New Zealand in June 2020. The agreement addresses end-to-end digital trade, builds trust in cross-border financial services data flows, establishes ethical standards for artificial intelligence, and more. If successful, this agreement could show how small countries can take proactive steps to give market certainty through digital policy parameters, connect digital economies, and even scale their efforts with the partnership of a larger nation: Singapore is already pitching a bilateral digital economy agreement to Washington. There may also be opportunities for microlateralism stemming from the global pandemic response. The World Bank is keeping a database of how different countries are using technology to provide remote learning opportunities during COVID-19, an area in which the United States is failing many students. It’s too soon to know which remote learning systems are most effective, but a microlateral information-sharing effort could help countries to meet the educational needs of underserved populations, even after the pandemic is over. Singapore, which has experience with remote learning gained during previous health crises, could be well placed to lead such an effort. Regional developments could provide yet another opportunity. The Abraham Accords, which began as a series of U.S.-brokered normalization agreements between Israel and Arab countries, should attract continued U.S. efforts to deepen and widen them. But Washington could encourage individual small countries—Bahrain or the United Arab Emirates, or even a non-Arab country such as Cyprus—to establish a coordinating mechanism aimed at deepening the agreements on key elements, including in the economic and security spheres, with broad support from outside the region. Costa Rica has emerged as a leader in ecotourism and conservation, both important issues for a new U.S. administration interested in environmental sustainability. And after a decades-long conflict ended in 2016, Colombia has become a leader in disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration, a model that could be applied in other postwar settings. Critics of microlateralism warn that “ad hoc solutions to systemic, foreseeable global risks,” as UN Secretary-General António Guterres put it to the Security Council in September 2020, could undermine global governance and broader multilateral efforts. Yet developing more vehicles, under innovative leadership, through which countries can deal with international challenges could serve ultimately as a necessary complement to existing multilateral structures rather than a way of undermining them. THE ART OF ASSOCIATION In documenting American civil society, Alexis de Tocqueville once praised the United States’ “art of association,” an impulse that gave the nation’s civic life its exceptional vitality. “Wherever, at the head of a new undertaking, you see in France the government, and in England, a great lord,” he wrote, “count on seeing in the United States, an association. ”The Biden administration seems keen to apply this general truth to international affairs, building associations of states that will tackle challenges more ably than the United States alone. The global art of association has numerous components, ranging from those formed decades ago to new, startup-style groupings aimed at particular problems in specific times. But a focus on niche, time-bound multilateral efforts—including those led by small countries—is likely to have a disproportionately positive effect.

African Development Bank Group (AfDB) PRESS RELEASE African countries commit to double agricultural productivity as development banks and partners pledge over $17 billion to increase food security Of the overall amount pledged, more than $10 billion came from The African Development Bank ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast, April 30, 2021/ — A coalition of multilateral development banks and development partners has pledged over $17 billion in financing to address rising hunger on the African continent, and to improve food security. These funds were pledged on the final day of a two-day high-level dialogue called Feeding Africa: leadership to scale up successful innovations. The African Development Bank and the UN’s International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) hosted the event in partnership with the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) and the CGIAR System Organization on 29 and 30 April. Seventeen African heads of state signed on to the commitment to boost agricultural production by doubling current productivity levels through the scaling up of agro-technologies. This will include investing in access to markets, and promoting agricultural research and development. The various parties adopted a communiqué outlining these commitments at the end of the event. Of the overall amount pledged, more than $10 billion came from The African Development Bank, which said it would invest $1.57 billion on scaling up 10 selected priority commodities over the next five years. This will help countries achieve self-sufficiency. Another $8.83 billion will go towards building strong value chains for these commodities over the next five years. This will include programs to create opportunities for young people – particularly women. African Development Bank President Dr. Akinwumi A. Adesina said: “Let us now create today, a stronger partnership: a partnership for greater scale; a partnership to take technologies and innovations to hundreds of millions of farmers.” The International Fund for Agricultural Development said it aimed to provide an additional $1.5 billion to support national efforts to transform food and agricultural systems in Africa over the next three years. IFAD will also invest more in creating the pre-conditions for increased agricultural productivity. The organization is helping to develop a growing pipeline of investments to restore land, create jobs and build resilience to climate change in the Sahel region. This will contribute to the Green Great Wall objectives, and will create 10 million jobs in the region by 2030. IFAD President Gilbert F. Houngbo said: “We praise the African leaders’ commitment to increase agricultural productivity and improve food security for millions of Africans. By modernizing African agriculture, small-holder farmers will be in a better position to bring more affordable food to consumers and create decent livelihoods for millions of young Africans involved in the processing, storage and marketing of food.” The Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA), committed up to $1.5 billion over the period 2020-2024 in agriculture. The Islamic Development Bank Group said it would earmark $3.5 billion to develop the agriculture sector in Africa in the next three years. It said these investments will develop commodity value chains for both staple food and cash crops. In an additional show of solidarity, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, joining a coalition of development partners, declared that it will invest $652 million in the next three years. This will support agricultural research and development initiatives in Africa. This funding is expected to empower 300 million farmers with a host of new innovations. President Macky Sall of Senegal summed up interventions by African heads of state on Thursday with the following seven-point action list: Accelerate agricultural production by taking technologies to scale Increase investment in research and development Optimize technology Improve business language in agriculture to open up to the world Support access to markets and the installation of basic infrastructure and equipment Invest in new businesses to transform agricultural produce to support small producers. Create a financing facility for food security and nutrition in Africa The forum communiqué reflected these action points, emphasizing the call for a financing facility for food security in Africa. It was felt that this would be an appropriate channel for scaling up climate resilience and successful agricultural technologies. It will include digital innovations to farmers across Africa, and will allow countries to better address malnutrition and stunting. Sub-Saharan Africa has a quarter of the world’s arable land but only produces 10% of its agricultural output. The low productivity of staple crops makes African agriculture uncompetitive. As a result, the continent imports one-third of the calories that it consumes. This makes food systems more vulnerable and dependent on external food supply chains. The outcomes from this week’s Leaders’ Dialogue will be communicated to the UN Secretary General as Africa’s commitments towards the UN Food Systems Summit in September this year. They will lay the foundation for Africa to present a unified voice to step up efforts and partnerships towards reaching the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
