African Development Bank helps to modernise South Sudan’s financial systems Abidjan 26 July 2019 – The African Development Bank Board on 17th July 2019 approved $6.6 million funding to finance South Sudan’s payment and settlement systems integration project. The project is consistent with the Bank’s updated country strategy paper which concentrates on state building through capacity and infrastructure development. The project is also aligned with South Sudan’s National Development Strategy 2018-2021; the latter confirms the need to restore and maintain economic infrastructure. The objective of the project is to modernise the payment systems in South Sudan in order to improve the country’s financial systems and promote regional integration. To this end, the project will assist South Sudan to develop and harmonise its payment systems in line with those of five member countries of the East African Community (EAC), thereby facilitating progress towards the a monetary union in the EAC and increasing trade and economic activities within the region. For South Sudan, the development of real time gross settlement (RTGS) and the other components of the project will improve the efficiency of financial intermediation, enhance the management of systemic risks, and promote liquidity management, monetary policy implementation, and strengthen the financial sector. The newly approved project complements the ongoing EAC payment and settlement systems integration project (EAC-PSSIP) and support to South Sudan, which is closely aligned with the 4th EAC development strategy (2011/12 – 2015/16) and the EAC common market protocol, which emphasises trade facilitation, a single market in financial services, an EAC monetary union, and infrastructure connectivity into regional development initiatives. Implementation of the new project will commence during the 2019/2020 financial year, and the EAC secretariat will coordinate project implementation, in close collaboration with the Central Bank of South Sudan. Once completed, the project will have produced a modernised payment system for South Sudan, a Central Bank with greater capacity to provide oversight, and policies and regulations to support payments and settlements. These achievements will put South Sudan in a position to interconnect better with other East African countries to ease transfers of funds through the East African Payment System (EAPS) platform. The Bank’s country manager for South Sudan, Benedict Kanu, noted that “the modernisation of payment systems to bolster the financial system’s performance will not only increase the formal financial sector, but also encourage regional integration. Moreover, the established linkages between financial inclusion and inclusive growth will benefit the people of South Sudan by assisting them to invest more in their economy”. He added that the activities of the proposed project will not only promote better governance in the financial sector, but also improve access to much-needed credit, thereby enabling businesses, especially SMEs, to expand, creating jobs and reinvigorating growth. South Sudan’s economy currently functions mainly on a cash basis, with very low usage of commercial Bank cheques. Banks are the main providers of payment services in the country. 29 commercial banks are licensed to operate in South Sudan, six of which are foreign-owned. The indigenous banks are mainly one-branch operations, whose main business is foreign exchange trading. Appropriate regulations have been drafted and it is envisaged that mobile payment and banking services will be launched by several banks as soon as the regulatory framework is ratified. Since 2012, the Bank has contributed more than $160.55 million in development aid across various sectors for South Sudan. The Bank’s support has focused on capacity building, and infrastructure development, with particular emphasis on creating conditions for promoting peace, stability and state building, in line with South Sudan’s and the Bank’s strategic priorities.

By JOHN VANDIVER | STARS AND STRIPES STUTTGART, Germany — Hours after taking charge of U.S. Africa Command Friday, Gen. Stephen J. Townsend, was at work assessing the state of operations on the continent where he now leads military efforts. After a brief change of command reception at Stuttgart’s Patch Barracks, Townsend huddled with his top commanders. Next week, Townsend said he will make his first trip to East Africa, where the U.S. faces a complicated security situation in places like Somalia. “I intend to very thoroughly assess everything the command does,” Townsend told Stars and Stripes. Townsend replaced Gen. Thomas Waldhauser, who is set to retire after leading AFRICOM for three years in a tenure that saw a growing mission in Somalia, an air bombardment campaign in Libya and a deadly ambush of U.S. troops in Niger that jolted the military community. “We honor the bravery, service and sacrifice of those American, African, and partner soldiers who have given their lives over the past three years in the noble pursuit of peace and security across the African continent,” Waldhauser said during the ceremony. Townsend, who previously led the U.S. Army’s Training and Doctrine Command and, before that, headed the U.S.-led coalition that battled the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, takes over at AFRICOM at a tumultuous time. n 2017, four U.S. soldiers were killed in the ambush in Niger that brought intense scrutiny and political attention on the U.S.’s role in Africa. The military also has picked up the pace of operations in Somalia, where it has conducted 46 airstrikes this year against forces aligned with al-Qaida and the Islamic State group. As drone strikes have increased, accusations of civilian casualties also have begun to emerge. So far, AFRICOM has acknowledged that two civilians have been killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2018, but watchdog groups like Amnesty International earlier this year claimed the toll is higher. When asked whether he intends to reassess how the military operates in Somalia, Townsend said he would, just as he will examine everything AFRICOM does. “I am comfortable with what the command has been doing (in Somalia), but as a new commander I am going to do what all commanders do,” Townsend said. “I am going to give my own look, my own assessment.” Regarding questions from human rights groups about civilian casualties, Townsend said, “I understand their concerns.” However, Townsend said the military conducts airstrikes in a careful way and takes measures to avoid civilian deaths whenever possible. As head of the U.S. coalition against ISIS, Townsend oversaw a massive air campaign against militants in Iraq and Syria. “These things are a part of conflict. It’s unfortunate, but they are,” Townsend said. In Somalia, AFRICOM leaders say they have seen important progress over the past couple years. The Somali military has been growing and taking on a larger role against the insurgent group Al-Shabab and the central government has become more capable, military officials say. “These gains in Somalia are extremely fragile,” Waldhauser said. “But they are gains nonetheless.” AFRICOM is adapting to a new Pentagon strategy that calls for greater focus on countering Russia and China in Africa, where both countries have sought to gain influence. China, in particular, now operates a base in Djibouti near the U.S. military’s hub at Camp Lemonnier. Townsend also faces the challenge of keeping pressure on militant groups, while working to keep Russian and Chinese influence in Africa in check. Without naming China or Russia, Townsend said, “We will continue to counter corrosive influence on the African continent, whatever those corrosive influences may be.” Although the command posting in Stuttgart is Townsend’s first military assignment in Germany, it marks something of a homecoming for him as he grew up on bases in the country as part of an Army family. “This is an incredible assignment,” Townsend said. vandiver.john@stripes.com Twitter: @john_vandiver

Guban View: How Ministry of Interior bullies the elected district councils Guban View: How Ministry of Interior bullies the elected district councils This week, Somaliland police arrested four councilors of the Gabiley district Council. They are being held at the headquarters of the Criminal Investigations Unit of the police in Hargeisa. So far, the charges against them are unknown. There is speculation that the councilors were calling for a vote of no confidence against the mayor of Gabiley. But, Col. Kahin, the Interior Minister, has issued a decree banning any meetings for all Somaliland district councils. Col. Kahin, a veteran of the liberation war, is borrowing a playbook from “Faqash” era tactics to “punish and suppress “our elected officials. Interior Ministry has no business meddling with how the local governments are conducting their own affairs. What Col. Kahin is doing is a classic example of power abuse, and he must be held accountable. GubanMedia is calling for immediate release of the four councilors. These new round of arrests are a hugely repressive move and risk moving Somaliland into a police state and toward authoritarianism. The councilors are duly elected local officials; all councilors must be immediately released and if there are charges against them it must be unconditionally dropped. The arrests are nothing more than a distraction and noise to cover the failure of Col. Kahin to effectively run the sprawling Interior Ministry, which has jurisdiction over the national security and local municipalities matters. Instead, Col Kahin and his “Faqash” style Interior Ministry should concentrate on keeping the homeland safe, cracking down on terrorists and their sympathizers, and restoring law and order in the carnage of Eil-Afwein communal violence, in which some people are alleging that he is complicit in the repeated violence. Since 1993, the Ministry of interior has been having unchecked power to bully the local governments. The constitution did not clearly set up a system of devolved authority and responsibility for the elected councils. Consequently, the Interior Ministry bureaucrats are constantly busy controlling the day to day operations of the local elected governments. To keep their jobs, most of the councilors are busy appeasing the Interior Minister or his representative, instead of serving for the people. The electorate do not directly elect the mayors, instead the councilors elect among themselves the mayor. The Ministry of Interior meddles with the election process of the mayor to back its favorite. As a result, some councilors are constantly fighting among themselves For example, Gabiley district or county is a large swath of land between Hargeisa and Borama, which has towns, townships, villages, and farms. It has four major towns: Wajaale, Gabiley, Alleybadey and Arabsiyo.The electorate of the district elect 21 councilors, who conduct the district’s business in Gabiley, the largest town of the district. To better serve and to bring government closer to the people, each town of Gabiley district should have its own elected district council, including a directly elected mayor and maybe (2-3) councilors by the voters. The councils must operate as government authorities with responsibility to run the affairs, the interests, and the needs of the people that live in the council Jurisdictions areas. Moreover, Wajaale is a vast growing town : It’s a trading place, a logistical hub and the gateway connecting Somaliland to Ethiopia.It does not have a district council or elected mayor and council. Wajaale, Arabsiyo and Alleybadey deserve to have district councils more than other small, rural villages the Interior Ministry declared as district councils. But in today’s Somaliland they way to have leverage on the government is through “Violence and the threat of using violence” or mob rule. The residents of Gabiley have been used as a vote bank by unscrupulous politicians like Abeeb Time-Ade and others during the election cycles, for their parochial interests. In return, their pressing issues have been ignored repeatedly by all respective Somaliland administrations election after election. In 2017 election, without the votes of Gabiley, Bihi would not have become the 5th president of Somaliland. We should reform how we evaluate and run our municipalities and regions because what we have now is chaos. The constitution in vague terms specifies that the district councils are responsible to deliver basic services: water, electricity, education, healthcare and even public safety and communications. But up to now, no district council in Somaliland is serving its people those services because the central government is afraid to lose power. The closer local governments are to the people, the more effective and efficient in delivering services. The central government should share power with district councils. The legislature should also pass laws defining the devolving power of the district council in urban and rural areas. Finally, we should reign in the power of the Ministry Interior, to issue decrees, suspend, dismiss or even arrest duly elected councilors because Somaliland was born out of the struggle against an unresponsive, authoritarian regime. Our people deserve a tentative and more accountable government based on the rule of law.
