Would be shocking if 17 projects were canceled, only one I know was paused was garcaad to galdogob would be curious on full listThere’s no point mentioning China, Russia etc. they have little influence on Somalia. Somalia is a western project and anyone who loses the support of America is finished politically. The politicians in the country are completely reliant on America’s aid money. Moment you threaten that, then you lose all support like Farmaajo saw happen to him when we were sanctioned by American donors. America even bullied Qatar into refusing to pay for the Eritrean troops to return. This meant his plan to use these troops to hold his fixed elections failed.
UN, IMF, World Bank, NGOs etc all push US backed reforms on Somalia. Here’s one of the things Deni is against. The FGS taking over the federal courts of the member states. Gets a big endorsement before the NCC meeting in Baydhabo.
HSM has halted 17 World Bank projects in PL according to Fahad’s media. He wouldn’t be able to do this had he not had this support.
You’re right about one thing tho and that is ticking on Deni. As it becomes clear he can’t be re-elected the more support he loses.
