The Somali telecommunications companies have been accused of violating the National Communications Law. Mogadishu (PP News Desk) — The telecommunications companies in Somalia have been keeping pace with progress in the country and technological innovations abroad. The major transformation in the telecommunications sector has had an impact on the ownership structure of the companies: before 1991, the telecommunications sector was owned by the state. The first phase of private telecommunications companies saw the establishment of many firms that, after tough competition, folded, merged with other companies or were acquired. This transformation has set in motion private ownership of companies that were established after the collapse of the state in 1991. The signing of interoperability agreements invigorated the telecommunications industry in Somalia. The telecommunications companies in Somalia run telephony and mobile banking services, which are commended for introducing inclusive banking in the country. More than 90% of business transactions in the Federal Republic of Somalia are conducted through mobile banking. The telecommunications companies have been accused of exploiting the semi-regulated market and their network effects. Mobile telephone operators in Somalia advertise the services of other companies to their customers without providing the option to opt out of receiving such advertisements. What is more, telecommunications companies advertise educational services and programmes of their subsidiary companies through customers’ mobile phones, highlighting the extent to which the telecoms seek to compete even in sectors where they lack a competitive advantage. Mobile phone customers complain about advertisements that fill up their phone storage. In the National Communications Law, the role of the Ministry of Communications and Technology is described in statist terms from when postal and telephone services were government-owned: Article 28 “To formulate, review and take general decisions on national telecommunication aiming to enhance revenues, consumption of the telecommunication service and promotion and development of the social service.” Article 6 of the National Communications Law grants the National Communications Agency the authority to protect consumer rights. The Agency [shall] protect customer rights with special consideration to: (a) Protect customer confidentiality and service information; (b) Tariff charges (c) Facilitate accessibility of the service; (d) Quality and level of service.” Puntland Post attempted to interview executives from Hormuud, Telesom, and Golis, but none of the companies showed willingness to answer questions regarding consumer rights and service quality. © Puntland Post, 2024 The post Somali Telecoms Send Unauthorised Advertisements to Mobile Phone Customers appeared first on Puntland Post.

Ethiopia-US: Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman calls on Biden’s administration to “sanction senior Ethiopian officials and fighting forces for past and present atrocities.” Senator James Risch, U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, has called on the Biden administration to “sanction senior Ethiopian officials and fighting forces for past and present atrocities.” The Republican Senator said this in reacting to Addis Standard’s recent news about the latest report by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (#OHCHR) on Ethiopia’s escalating human rights crisis. The report exposed that state forces were responsible for 70% of rights violations in Ethiopia in 2023 alone. “The ongoing human rights abuses and civilian deaths in Ethiopia are horrific. The Biden Administration should sanction senior Ethiopian officials and fighting forces for past and present atrocities – there is no excuse for continued inaction from the U.S.”, Senator Risch said.

The UK’s main stock market retook its crown as Europe’s most valuable for the first time in nearly two years, data shows. The total value of companies listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) hit $3.18 trillion on Monday, overtaking the $3.13tn total value of companies listed in Paris, according to Bloomberg data. Both valuations have shifted since and remain close, but analysts describe it as a milestone. They say the French market has slumped because of the uncertainty around its election, while the UK market is recovering after several years of underperformance. The LSE had been Europe’s largest stock market for many years before November 2022 when it was overtaken. Analysts at the time blamed the LSE’s performance on the fallout from former Prime Minister Liz Truss’s mini-Budget, a weak pound, recession fears and Brexit. The LSE was worth about $1.4tn more than its Parisian rival in 2016. Analysts say that market investors generally dislike uncertainty – and there are many questions about what France’s upcoming election will mean. President Emmanuel Macron called the snap election earlier this month, following a victory for his rival Marine Le Pen’s right-wing National Rally in European elections. Hargreaves Lansdown’s money and markets head Susannah Streeter suggested that National Rally’s manifesto contains “unfunded spending”. “They are not so focused about winning over the market,” said Ms Streeter. Financial markets often react badly when they do not know where the money for a government’s pledges will come from. This is because it affects the value of bonds, which is money investors loan the government at a rate agreed by the market. If investors believe that a government or potential government’s policies don’t add up, the interest rate on bonds, known as the yield, tends to rise. This then hurts the value of listed companies, because if the bond yield is very high then investors can often make more money lending to the government than investing in a company’s shares. Looking at the UK, Ms Streeter said that the Labour Party, which is currently leading in the polls in the run-up to the general election, has been trying to reassure investors and the City that it is a “safe pair of hands”. The Conservative Party has also been trying to convince investors of its approach. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt told the Wall Street Journal chief executives’ council summit last month: “I think London’s stock market demise is massively overstated. “We do have challenges, and we’re addressing those challenges.” One of the biggest challenges facing the LSE over the last decade has been pitching to investors and companies tempted by American exchanges. A number of big firms, including ones based in the UK, have chosen to list in the US rather than the UK. This has driven up the value of American stocks, which then encourages even more companies to list there. The S&P All-Share index, which tracks the value of every listed company in the US, has soared over 85% over the last five years. The equivalent FTSE All-Share index has increased by less than a tenth over the same time period. However, since the start of this year, the UK index has picked up, which AJ Bell’s investment director Russ Mould said was partly due to clarity on interest rates. They are expected to go down at some point this year, meaning British companies can borrow money for less. Despite this, British stocks are much cheaper than American stocks relative to their earnings, and Mr Mould suggested investors may be overvaluing US companies and undervaluing UK ones. He noted that the main US exchanges are heavily dependent on a handful of highly valued tech stocks, including Google, Apple, and Amazon, but did not believe this would be sustainable in the long term. “If everyone is sitting on one side of the boat, it’s going to tip over eventually,” he said Source bbc Qaran News
