| 2018-02-16 |
| [RADIOSHABELLE] Mahad Hassan Mohammed, the deputy Security Minister of Somalia’s central the Federal State of Galmudug ...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth... has accused the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... Development Programme [UNDP] of failing to pay its Police forces. In an exclusive Interview with Radio Shabelle via phone, Mohammed said the State Police soldiers went on strike for lack of salary for several months, blaming the UNDP for behind responsible for the crises. He added that Galmudug state is planning to stop relying on the UNDP financial aid and pay to its security force personnel. The UN Agency was not available for comment on the allegations. This comes as the newly trained Police forces of the Federal State are on strike in Adado town for days over lack of delayed payment by the UNDP. |
