What does Somalia need to consider before elections?

 A few days’ back Somalia had announced its electoral model which will be known as Electoral Constituency Caucuses. As per the proceedings of this model, there will be 301 voters who will be stamping on their preferences from the 275 members of the Parliament(MP) of Somalia. This means that every federal state in the Federal Republic of Somalia will have at least three caucuses that will electing the MP’s for the Lower House. These chosen representatives will be electing the President of the country.

As for the delages, they will be jointly elected by the national and state electoral bodies. The agreement between the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) and Federal Member States (FMS) was reached without the presence of governors of Puntland and Jubaland province. As reported earlier, the governors of both the provinces have expressed their concerns on the leadership of the present government in order. The responsibility to carry out the election without any discrepancies is given to National Independent Electoral Commission (NIEC).

Due to the issues surrounding Somaliland, there will not be direct voting in the region rather something called Doorasho dadban, indirect voting, will be followed. Under this, the voting process will not be held in regional constituencies rather it will be assigned to particular areas like the capital Mogadishu.

Now it is because of these issues that the experts from the west and African region want international surveillance over such meetings and matters concerning the country’s political atmosphere especially the meetings that are conducted in the presence of regional governors and president Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed also known as Farmaajo.

There are high chances of the election getting postponed as earlier the elections were confirmed to be a one-person, one-vote polling princess but now it has developed into a whole electoral system in itself. The reports of Farmaajo playing the election game to rule out the possibility of the United States interference in the process have been doing rounds. Local media outlets have reported that he will continue to say that the election will take place during the decided time but all of it is a gimmick.

Somalia will also have to work on its relationship with the neighboring countries along with setting the base for a productive economy and national unity. But the relations will not be easy to build given the fact Qatar has been immensely involved in the intelligence unit of the troubled country. Doha's man Fahd Al-Yassin took control of the Somali National Intelligence and Security Agency after which there has been a considerable rise in terrorist related activities.

Till the time of election, Somalia will be a hot zone and involvement of Qatar in controlling the military will threaten Somalia’s relation with its neighbors.

It’s about how there are chances of it turning into another sort of geo-monetary worry for states who dread that their vital financial influence will be subverted.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
