Question on IMF and its Economic Policies on Somalia
Posted: Fri May 06, 2011 12:19 pm
I was reading articles posted in the Internet that were about the agreements, which were signed between the last effective Somali government and the IMF, and I have seen whenever a major agreement between Somali goverment and IMF was signed, what preceded that agreement was the Saudi government stopping importing Somali livestock, and the excuse the Saudi government used was always based on health concerns.
Was Saudi Arabia stopping to import the Somali livestock a pressure point that forced the Somali government to always comply with the demands of the Paris Club?
I am also intrested in how those, the IMF policies, contributed, if not caused, inflation, corruption, nepotism, and the ensued civil war that followed in Somalia.
Please respond whatever facts you have come to know, and keep in mind to keep out whatever clannish nonsense that you may bring into this topic. This is about the effects of the IMF policies in Somalia, and how those policies brought Somalia to its knees.
