  • Somalia's Mighty Shilling
    Somalia’s mighty shilling The Economist March 31, 2012 1 / 12 Hard to kill • A currency issued in the name of a central bank that no longer exists 2 / 12 An expression of faith • Use of a paper currency is normally taken to be an expression of faith in the government that issues it • Once the solvency of the issuer is in doubt, anyone holding its notes will quickly try to trade them in for dollars, jewellery or, failing that, some commodity with enduring value 3 / 12 An exception • When the rouble collapsed in 1998 some factory workers in Russia were paid in pickles • The Somali shilling, now entering its second decade with no real government or monetary authority to speak of, is a splendid exception to this rule 4 / 12 A central bank • Somalia’s long civil war has ripped apart what institutions it once had • In 2011 the country acquired a notional central bank under the remit (authority) of the Transitional Federal Government • But the government’s authority does not extend far beyond the capital, Mogadishu. 5 / 12 Backed by no reserves • Why are Somali shillings, issued in the name of a government that ceased to exist long ago and backed by no reserves of any kind, still in use? 6 / 12 Supply xed • One reason may be that the supply of shillings has remained fairly xed • The lack of an ocial printing press able to expand the money supply has the pre-1992 shilling a certain cachet (prestige) 7 / 12 Fakes • What about fakes? • Abdirashid Duale, boss of the largest network of banks in Somalia, says that his sta are trained to distinguish good fakes from the real thing before exchanging them for dollars 8 / 12 Money is useful • A second reason for the shilling’s longevity is that it is too useful to do away with • Large transactions, such as the purchase of a house, a car, or even livestock are dollarised.

    NEW ISSUES IN REFUGEE RESEARCH Working Paper No. 65 Pastoral society and transnational refugees: population movements in Somaliland and eastern Ethiopia 1988 - 2000 Guido Ambroso UNHCR Brussels E-mail : [email protected] August 2002 Evaluation and Policy Analysis Unit Evaluation and Policy Analysis Unit United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees CP 2500, 1211 Geneva 2 Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] Web Site: www.unhcr.org These working papers provide a means for UNHCR staff, consultants, interns and associates to publish the preliminary results of their research on refugee-related issues. The papers do not represent the official views of UNHCR. They are also available online under ‘publications’ at <www.unhcr.org>. ISSN 1020-7473 Introduction The classical definition of refugee contained in the 1951 Refugee Convention was ill- suited to the majority of African refugees, who started fleeing in large numbers in the 1960s and 1970s. These refugees were by and large not the victims of state persecution, but of civil wars and the collapse of law and order. Hence the 1969 OAU Refugee Convention expanded the definition of “refugee” to include these reasons for flight. Furthermore, the refugee-dissidents of the 1950s fled mainly as individuals or in small family groups and underwent individual refugee status determination: in-depth interviews to determine their eligibility to refugee status according to the criteria set out in the Convention. The mass refugee movements that took place in Africa made this approach impractical. As a result, refugee status was granted on a prima facie basis, that is with only a very summary interview or often simply with registration - in its most basic form just the name of the head of family and the family size.1 In the Somali context the implementation of this approach has proved problematic.

  • Somalia Puntland-Constitution Dec2009
    CONSTITUTION OF PUNTLAND STATE OF SOMALIA December 2009 National Democratic Institute (NDI) unofficial translation into English of the 2009 Constitution of Puntland State of Somalia. NDI accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of this translation. Any errors or inconsistencies that may exist in the original Somali were translated into English. The Somali version remains authoritative. Puntland State was created in 1998 through a consultative agreement among the different regions that constitute Puntland. The creation of Puntland State emerged from Somalia’s failure to re-establish an inclusive national government for eight years. The people of Puntland realized they could not continue without a government. It was then decided in the constitutional conference of 1998 that Puntland would become a state that would be part of a federal Somalia. A charter was approved in that same 1998 conference and later replaced with a provisional constitution that was approved by members of the House of Representatives in 2001. A referendum on the constitution was to have taken place in 2004, although this was not accomplished. Since it was not possible to hold a referendum on the constitution it was decided that the constitution would continue in force while undergoing review. The constitutional review process began in May 2007 and continued until June 2009. In the review process, meaningful opinions were contributed from different sectors of Puntland society, such as Somali lawyers and foreign lawyers. Therefore, the new constitution was drafted to become the law of the people of Puntland and was based on the Islamic shari’a and, at the same time, the constitution guides the system of governance, and thus brings collaboration and order among the different government institutions of the state.

INTRODUCTION 1. At its 194th meeting held on 15 June 2009, Council reviewed developments in Somalia on the basis of the report I presented on the situation in that country [PSC/PR/2(CXCIV)]. Council adopted communique PSC/PR/COMM.(CXCIV), in which it, among others, decided to renew the mandate of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) for a period of seven months, beginning from 17 June 2009. 2. The present report provides an update on the developments that have taken place in Somalia since June 2009. It concludes with observations and recommended actions on the way forward, including the renewal of AMISOM mandate for a further period of 12 months, starting from 17 January 2010. POLITICAL SITUATION 3. During the period under review, the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) has continued to experience many challenges, mainly as a result of the continued attacks by armed extremists groups, supported by foreign elements. In addition to the continued insecurity in most parts of Somalia, the TFG also faces the challenges of weak capacity of security and public sector institutions, delays in articulating and implementing a clear political roadmap, clan divisions and other internal problems within the Government, lack of resources for the provision of basic services, and inadequate organization and coordination of sufficient and continued partner support.
