  1. It is not bad, considering most hotels in Somalia are in shambles.
  2. Makes perfect sense to excuse yourself from positions you are not qualified for. One has to look out for the interest of the country. Good work Dr.
  3. AUN Kinsi Caydiid beat Xamdi Jimcaale to death in London
  4. What is attraction? There are horridly ugly guys who dazzle women because they know what they are doing. Any guy who can't make a woman fall in love with him after marriage (having her on bed anytime) is a wimp and needs to elevate his game.
  5. @Saalax said: son in law stole tax payers money. Is this the guy?
  6. 9 Somalis found butchered and jettisoned for vital parts in Egypt

  8. Somalis Are Paying With Their Lives As Demand For Organs Skyrockets The bodies of nine Somalis, including a mother and her two children, washed up on beach in Alexandria, Egypt, recently — all of them missing vital organs. Investigations reveal the nine Somalis, whose organs were harvested and their bodies dumped in the Egyptian sea later, were originally lured on to a migrant boat, which they were told was heading for Italy. Instead, the ferry took them to an undisclosed location in Alexandria, where they were locked up for organ removal. Horrors like these, though unfortunate, are not a rarity in many poor countries. The Coalition for Organ-Failure Solutions, a nonprofit health and human-rights organization, previously released a report about the horrific underworld trade that affects thousands of immigrants hailing from Sudan, Jordan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Syria and Iraq. Many of these refugees are sent to Western countries on a ruse for the express purpose of having their organs harvested. In 2013, an unnamed girl was brought from Somalia to the U.K. for this heinous act. The case was revealed in a government report, which cited human trafficking in the U.K. has risen by 50% from the previous year. In 2015, a pre-teen boy and a woman in her 30s were smuggled into Britain, but were fortunately rescued by the police who suspected they were being trafficked. Yet, most people are not so lucky. Read More: Israeli Sentenced To Two & A Half Yrs In US Prison For Illegally Brokering Kidney Transplants According to the World Health Organization, as many as 7,000 kidneys are illegally obtained by gangs seeking to exploit the worldwide market for transplant organs. The U.S. National Organ Transplant Act of 1984 bans the sale of human organs, yet the first person convicted for the crime of organ trafficking occurred as late as 2011. In 2013, 16,896 organ transplants took place in the United States while 4,453 patients died awaiting a transplant. People mostly from rich developed nations are willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for an organ, which further provides prospects for the unscrupulous and fuels the illegal trade. Yet what is the government doing to stop organ trafficking? Organ trafficking maybe illegal but the United States has done very little to prevent it under current laws. Some argue that by legalizing organ trade and setting up an international community to oversee it, it will not only close the ever-growing demand gap for organs but will also provide the donor a safe and financially guaranteed reason to willingly give their organs as living donors.
  9. Hundreds of Somali migrants in Libya and Egypt fall victim to organ traders who kidnap the poor migrants and forcibly remove their organs.
  10. That must be the best Somali mosque other the one the Turks built in Mogadishu. It looks good.
  11. Offshore holdings of celebrities, politicians, public figures exposed in biggest document leak ever The Panama Papers leak includes 11.5 million confidential documents shedding light on the assets and murky fiscal dealings of everyone from the prime ministers of Iceland and Pakistan to movie star Jackie Chan, associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin and soccer player Lionel Messi. The records, dating as far back as 1977, come from a little-known but highly influential Panama-based law firm called Mossack Fonseca. The firm is one of the world's top creators of shell companies — corporate structures that can be used to hide ownership of assets. According to the leaked files, Messi, pictured above, had a Panama company set up for him by Mossack Fonseca in 2012 called Mega Star Enterprises Inc., adding a new name to the list of shell companies known to be linked to him. Messi's offshore dealings are the subject of a tax evasion case in Spain. Jackie Chan has at least 6 offshore companies The leaked documents also reveal movie star Jackie Chan has at least six companies managed through Mossack Fonseca. As with many of the firm's clients, there is no evidence that Chan used his companies for any improper purpose. (Aly Song/Reuters) Iceland's PM faces a no-confidence vote... Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson and his wife controlled a secret offshore company in the British Virgin Islands when he was first elected to the country's parliament in 2009, according to the leaked documents. The files show his offshore corporation held bonds originally worth millions of dollars in three giant Icelandic banks that failed during the 2008 global financial crash. Gunnlaugsson's government negotiated a deal with the banks' creditors last year without disclosing his family's financial stake in the outcome (he sold his stake in the offshore company for $1 to his wife shortly after first getting elected). Gunnlaugsson has denied in recent days that his family's financial interests influenced his stances, although he now faces a vote of no-confidence in parliament. (Gian Ehrenzeller/EPA) ... While Ukraine's PM faces calls for impeachment Ukraine's Radical party has called for the impeachment of President Petro Poroshenko over allegations he used an offshore account to avoid taxes. "It is the height of cynicism to open offshore companies at a time when hundreds of our soldiers are dying," Radical leader Oleh Lyashko said in a post on Facebook, referring to Ukraine's conflict with pro-Russian separatists. (J. Scott Applewhite/Associated Press) Father of David Cameron implicated... The leak could be embarrassing for British Prime Minister David Cameron, who has spoken out against tax evasion and tax avoidance. His late father, Ian Cameron, is mentioned in the leaked documents, alongside some members of his Conservative Party in the upper house of parliament, former Conservative lawmakers and party donors, according to British media. (Joshua Roberts/Reuters) ... So are friends of Vladimir Putin Vladimir Putin's close friends, including a cellist from St. Petersburg, were shown to be engaged in a complex offshore scheme. Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Russian president is the "main target" of the media investigation into offshore accounts, but that he was not implicated in any wrongdoing. He said suggestions that Putin is involved are a smear likely motivated by "Putinophobia." (Kirill Kudryavtsev/Reuters) Offshore companies used by family of Pakistan PM The papers also showed the use of offshore companies by Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's family, including his daughter Mariam and son Hussain. Pakistani Information Minister Pervez Rasheed denied any wrongdoing on their part. "Every man has the right to do what he wants with his assets, to throw them in the sea, to sell them, or to establish a trust for them. There is no crime in this in Pakistani law or in international law," Rasheed said. (Stephane Mahe/Reuters) Bollywood stars involved The names of Bollywood superstars, including actress and model Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, feature among the more than 500 Indians with connections to offshore financial firms in Panama. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised to prosecute those who evade taxes and to bring back money parked in tax havens, but his government has made little progress on that front.
