Ethiopia: U.S. to Build Largest Embassy Structure in Addis Addis Fortune (Addis Ababa) 10 July 2007 Posted to the web 10 July 2007 Tamrat G. Giorgis The United States (US) government is soon to erect perhaps its largest single structure in Africa, in the compound of its Embassy in Addis Abeba, which is also one of the three largest embassies it has on the continent. When the construction is completed in three years, the four-storey building is projected to consume a total investment of 140 million dollars. This investment will be one of two such projects in the Horn of Africa; the US government also plans to build a brand new Embassy in Djibouti City, projected to cost 100 million dollars. Clearing works inside the Embassy compound in Addis Abeba has already begun, although the construction contract is due to be awarded to an American firm in October 2007, according to senior diplomatic sources. The firm to be awarded the project is, however, expected to sub-contract much of the local component to local construction firms, and anticipated to offer job opportunities to over a 1,000 people, according to these sources. "More than the employment opportunities, we at the Embassy are very excited for the technology transfer this project will bring to local companies," Donald Yamamoto, US ambassador to Ethiopia, told Fortune. The four-storey building, depicting a ship, will be erected right in front of his residence, on the vast green area. It will serve as offices to the various bureaus the Embassy has inside the compound. Relevant Links East Africa Ethiopia United States, Canada and Africa The US Embassy in Addis Abeba was moved from its previous location in Mercato, a.k.a. American Gibe, to its current location in 1945. The white building that serves as the ambassadors' residence, recently renamed after President Theodore Roosevelt, was first built in 1920 by the Japanese, who used it as their first legation before they were expelled from the country for their support of the Italian occupation of Ethiopia. It was during President Roosevelt's reign in the White House that the US started a diplomatic relationship with Ethiopia. Mr. Robert P. Skinner, the US's consul-general in Marseilles, France, visited Emperor Menelik's court in Addis Abeba in December 1903. The Americans, however, took the Embassy compound and its buildings, which also incorporate two tukkals, after promising Emperor Haile Sellasie that the residence and the tukkals would always be preserved. http://allafrica.com/stories/200707100815.html

Heavy shelling in Somali capital Bombs go off almost every day in Mogadishu Bombs go off almost every day in Mogadishu Shells have been fired overnight at the presidential palace and the venue for forthcoming peace talks in the Somali capital, Mogadishu. Shooting was also heard in the city's main Bakara market. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the attacks. At least two people were killed when a mortar bomb landed on their house. The upsurge in violence comes ahead of a reconciliation conference planned for Sunday, to be attended by more than 1,000 Somalis in the capital. Attacks on Ethiopian troops and the Somali government have been a regular event since December, when Ethiopian forces ousted the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC), which had been controlling much of southern Somalia. Somalia has not had an effective national government for 16 years, with rival militias battling for control of different areas. Conference doubts "Several mortar rounds were fired from the centre of town but all were off target. Some of them hit the nearby buildings but the palace suffered no damage," government security officer Mohammed Ganey told AFP news agency. Mogadishu's Bakara market is the city's lifeline The BBC's Mohammed Olad Hassan in Mogadishu says there is an uneasy calm in the capital but the shelling is a clear indication that the city is not safe to host the major conference. On Wednesday, President Abdullahi Yusuf met diplomats from the European Union, Norway, Italy, Belgium, Kenya and the military adviser of the African Union at his residence in Mogadishu. The delegation was in the capital for four hours to inspect security arrangements ahead of Sunday's reconciliation conference. They also held talks with elders from the dominant ****** clan but it is not clear whether they will attend the conference. The ****** clan has been opposed to the presence in Somalia of Ethiopian troops. The clan elders insist that the conference should not be organised around clan allegiances, since the problems in Somalia are political and not clan-based. Western countries have urged the Somali government to try to include moderate Islamists in the conference but it seems unlikely that anyone from the UIC will attend. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6294548.stm

Here are pictures of the "mighty TFG" in action.

Now tell me in all the cases how can you compare Biadoa to Mogadishu, what was the motive of the militia that burned crops and starvd kids in which you seem be apologitic... tell me what ? I have yet to see you give a small headshake of this tragic loss, the worst in the history of Somalia... Take small break and read my response to this thread so far and tell me where I was apologetic to the mass killings in Bay and Bakool regions. Do that simple homework and hopefully it will help you understand my stance on the Bay and Bakool tragedy which is based not on emotional or clan hate mongering but a fact and a historical one. TFG's motive was to stop this group and not kill any innocent people AHhhaa....Only TFG vs ICU/clannists..Thousands of Xabasho militia in Xamar is just lie...Again, all talk and no facts. ...EEY haladoodo...qofaan an atom of xishood lagu arag.

nuradiin007 iska ilaaliya wuxuu soo tabiyo ninkaas iyo runta mar horee is fureenaa la dhahay. Xuubsireed iyo isaga yaa been badan. Both are pro Tigre occupation.

Thousands died and close to half a milion fled the city from the indiscriminate shelling by the Ethiopian militia. Thats not a less serious crime.

which one is worse ,,, the one in Baidoa or the recent one in Mogadishu ??? I thought the same number you mention is what died in mogadishu during those femous days in xamar. :confused: :confused: . Walee some SOLers need to read their history. code: Everything is lifeless except for the dozen or so areas cordoned off by hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian troops which also houses all the men you see on the press. Last time I read, it was thirty thousand Ethiopian militia in Xamar and now hundreds of thousands. :confused:

Stop denial about Somali killings By Abdifatah Ismail Clearly in pain, Abdiqani Ibrahim, a 26 year old Somali shopkeeper who is recovering from serious injuries that he sustained in Phillipi after armed gangsters stormed into his shop, paces back and forth in his two meter long room in Bellville. The doctors told him to move around so as to hasten recovery. Ibrahim cheated death by what he calls a “divine intervention”, Many of his compatriots were not so fortunate. He told me what happened on the night he was attacked. Four men forced the door open, while six others stood watch outside, foiling his first attempt to escape. He pleaded with them to spare his life and take everything they wanted from the shop. He even offered to assist them to do so. They thanked him for the offer and told him plainly that even though he was welcome to help them loot his shop, that wouldn’t stop them from killing him. One of the gunmen put a gun to his head, but it misfired. Realising that his plead is falling on deaf ears he managed to escape. Two of the assailants gave chase and stabbed him three times in the back. Luckily, his escape bid was successful. The police have not yet taken a statement from Ibrahim. When I asked him why his relatives wouldn’t go to the police, the answer was sharp “what would the police do for me, they haven’t done a thing for those before me”. This is the extent to which the refugees doubt the police's willingness to protect them. Their mistrust is understandable given the anti-immigrant views prevailing in the country. And security officials are not an exception. Studies conducted in 2002 by Ingrid Palmary of the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation found that 30% of municipal police officers and trainees believed that foreigners cause crime. Earlier this year, Safety and Security Minster, Charles Ngakula, reacted to criticisms of the levels of crime in South Africa by saying that people who were not happy about the way the South African police handle security issues should either leave the country or keep quite. Surely such remarks could have contributed significantly to the negative attitudes towards the poor immigrants trying to make ends meet in South Africa. In spite of the minister later softening his position, the security agencies that fall under his control are not seen any more favourably by the refugee communities that have had to live with police indifference to their plight. Security officials in the Western Cape are trying hard to mask the real extent of the problems that Somalis face in the province. Community leaders who attended a meeting with senior police officials told me that the police grilled them about why they say the killings are related to xenophobia and why they often go to the press. After the 12th Somali national was killed, Police spokesman, Randall Stroffels insisted that crime levels to which the Somali community has been exposed are no different from those experienced by South Africans. However, a close look at what is has happening to the Somalis reveals there is more to this than “normal” violent crimes. The shooting of Somalis on several occasions without a robbery having taken place bears witness to this. Last week, armed men sprayed pullets at a Somali shop in Kraafontein wounding the owner, Mohamoud Hussein. Nothing was taken from the shop. The government suspects that envy about the success of the Somali entrepreneurs plays a role in the dislike of Somalis. Local traders presumably believe that they cannot compete with Somali entrepreneurs because they had a good access to capital to start businesses. This is not the case. If the success story of Somali entrepreneurship is true, it is more to do with selling products at marginal rates of profit, than having a huge capital. Most Somalis begun their informal trade through a modest helping hand from their close or distant relatives. The belief that Somalis keep large sums of cash in their shops is also untrue, as the meagre resources they have must be spent on stock to make sure there is no shortage of trading commodities. This, too, is a key feature of their skilful entrepreneurship. Regardless of what is behind the attacks, the Somali community believes - with reason - that they are being targeted. This belief does not go down well with those in control of security organs notwithstanding that key political figures in the Western Cape seem to be sympathetic to the Somalis’ plight. Cape Town Mayor Hellen Zille has reiterated the need for tolerance as Somali shopkeepers provide commercial services in areas where the formal investment fears to tread. Earlier, Western Cape Premier, Ebrahim Rasool underscored the contribution that the Somalis make to the economic growth of the metropolis. When one looks at the prevailing political good will on the one hand, and the inaction of state organs charged with safety and security on the other, one can assume one of two possible scenarios. Either crocodile tears are being shed or the political establishments and public service agencies do not listen to each other. Hopefully, it is the latter that is the problem. The face-saving approach taken by those in control of security agencies is exacerbating the situation. For the problem to be addressed effectively there is a need for open and concerted efforts aimed not only at containing the situation, but also at putting in place strategies that can prevent incidents in the future. These strategies must include public awareness campaigns geared towards making people understand the rights of immigrants. If the government cannot adopt strategies to tackle the problem, at least the denial games must stop.
