Dubai (Caasimada Online) – Isku soo dhowaanshaha Ethiopia, Eritrea iyo Imaaraadka Carabta ayaan ahayd wax si caadi ah ku yimid, balse waa siyaasad lasoo dhisay oo la doonayo in lagu dhaawaco Jabuuti iyo Soomaaliya, oo Abu Dhabi ay u aragto cadow halis ku ah. Ayada oo ay jirto in Imaaraadka uu muran dekadeed kala dhaxeeyo Soomaaliya iyo Jabuuti, saaxiibtinimada Abiy Ahmed iyo Imaaraadka ayaa dhaawici karta xiriirka Ethiopia la leedahay Soomaaliya iyo Jabuuti, oo sida ay hadda wax u socdaan aan ku faraxsnaeyn. Caasimada Online ayaa ka warhaysa in Soomaaliya, Jabuuti iyo Sudan aysan ku faraxsaneyn go’aanka deg degta ah ee Abiy ku ogolaaday in xayiraadda dhaqaale looga qaado Eritrea, taasi oo ay kasoo shaqeysay Imaaraadka Carabta. Haddii Imaaraadka Carabta uu gacanta ku dhigo Eritrea oo dekado leh, iyo Ethiopia oo ah dalka uga ballaaran uguna awoodda badan Geeska Afrika, wuxuu si darran oo siyaasadeed iyo dhaqaaleba u ciqaabi karaa Jabuuti, oo ka baxday heshiiska ay la gashay shirkadda DP World iyo Soomaaliya oo diidan heshiisyada dekadaha Berbera iyo Boosaaso. Dekadda Doraleh ee Jabuuti ayaa waxa ay si aad ah ugu tiirsan tahay dalka Ethiopia, oo 95% badeecadaha gala halkaas looga soo dejiyo. Sidaa darteed, Imaaraakda ayaa doonaya in badeecadahaas loo kala weeciyo dekadaha Berbera iyo Asssab, Eritrea, si dhaqaalaha Jabuuti dhulka loogu dhufto. Marka ay noqoto Soomaaliya, Imaaraadka ayaa Ethiopia iyo mamaul goboleedyada dalka Soomaaliya u adeegsanaya inaysan xasilooni siyaasadeed ka dhicin dalka, si aysan Soomaaliya halis dhaqaale u noqon, maadaama ay aad uga weyn tahay Eritrea, ugana dekado badan tahay. Ujeedka ugu dambeeyey ee Imaaraadka Carabta ayaa ah inay maamulaan dhammaan dekadaha iyo dhaqdhaqaaqyada dhaqaale ee gobolka, si dekadda Jabal Cali ee Dubai oo ah isha dhaqaale ee ugu weyn Imaaraadka aysan halis u gelin.

Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo waxaa shalay dalka Eritrea uga bilowday saddex maalmood oo booqasho rasmi ah. Waxaa casumaadda fidiyey madaxweynaha Eritrea, Isaias Afwerki iyada oo ay tallaabadan ku soo aaday kaddib markii ay dhawaan heshiiyeen dalalka Itoobiya iyo Eritrea. Soomaaliya xiriir diblomaasiyadeed lama lahayn dhawaantan dalkan ku go’doonsanaa Bariga Africa muddo sanado ah. Waxyaabaha go’doomiyey waxaa ka mid ahaa in lagu eedeeyey taageerida kooxaha argagixisada ah ee ka dagaalama Soomaaliya iyo u soo dejinta hub iyo sanaad xilli ay Qaramada Midoobay Soomaaliya saareen cunaqabaten dhinaca hubka ah. Sidoo kale Eritrea waxa ay dagaallo kula jirtay wadamada jaarka la’ ah sida Itoobiya iyo Jibuuti. Hase ahaatee, bishan waxaa ka curtay Geeska Africa hir siyaasadeed oo aan hore loo arag hormuudna u yahay Ra’iisul Wasaaraha da’da yar ee Itoobiya Dr Abiy Ahmed. Waxaa dib u soo laabtay xiriirkii diblomaasiyadeed ee labada wadan Eritrea iyo Itoobiya oo uu ka dhexeeyey dagaalkii ugu mudada dheeraa qaaradda Africa, taas waxa ay iyana dhabbaha u xaartay in uu haatan Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya booqdo Asmara dibna u soo celiyo cilaaqaadka labada dal! Hadaba sidee ayey Soomaaliya uga faa’idetsan kartaa dib u soo noleynta cilaaqaadka ay la leedahay Eritrea? Dowladda Federal-ka ah ee Soomaaliya waxaa ugu jirta faa’ido weyn dib u soo nooleynta xiriirka diblomaasiyadeed ee dalka Eritrea isla sida ay dowladda Asmara ugu tahay mid ahmiyad weyn. Asmara waxa ugu weyn ee ay ka faa’idi karto waa in ay Soomaaliya ku qanciso in ay Qaramada Midoobe ku garab siiso in laga qaado cunaqabateynta saaran iyo furidda wadahadallo ay la gasho Jabuuti oo ay dhul isku hayaan. Dhinaca Soomaaliya waxa ay arintaas uga faa’ideysan karaan laba arimood Midda Kowaad: In ay Eritrea kala hadlaan joojinta taageerada ay siiyaan Al-Shabaab. Taas, waxa ay dowladda u sahleysaa in la wiiqo awooddii kooxda dagaalka kula jirta ee Al Shabaab Midda Labaad Arrinta labaad ee ay dowladda Farmaajo ka faa’idi karto cilaaqaadka Eritrea waa in ay ka codsato ciidamo yimaada Soomaaliya kuwaas oo xoojiya SNA iy AMISOM si loo dar dar galiyo dagaalka ka dhanka ah Al Shabaab. Xataa haddii, ay dowladda Federal-ka ah u heli weyso dhaqaale calaami ah, waxa ay Eritrea ka codsan kartaa tiro ciidamo military ah oo ay Muqdisho bixiso mushaarkooda, Soo celinta xiriirka diblomaasiyadeed ee Eritrea soo dowladda madaxweyne Farmaajo uma aha hal dhagax oo ay ku dili karto laba shimbir!?

Asmara (Caasimada Online) – Si rasmi ah looma sheegin waxyaabaha ay salka ku hayso booqashada Farmaajo uu ku tegey dalka Eritrea oo ka yara dheer booqashooyinka ay madaxdu ku tagaan dalalka ay deriska yihiin. Waa markii ugu horraysay ee uu madaxweyne Soomaaliyeed tago Eritrea. Isaias Afwerki oo tan iyo 1994 dalkaas xukumayey, isaga qudhiisa wuxuu muujinayaa inuu yahay hogaamiye madaxda gobolka martigelin kara oo masiirka gobolka wax ka arrimin kara. Faysal Rooble wuxuu ka faalloodaa arrimaha geeska Afrika, wuxuuna qabaa 2 qodob in ay booqashadan salka ku hayso. -In Afwerki uu doonayo inuu Farmaajo kala hadlo sidii loo xallin lahaa khilaafka u dhaxeeya Soomaaliya iyo Iimaaraadka. -In uu ka dhaadhiciyo in aysan waxba ka jirin in Eritrea ay hubayn jirtay Al Shabaab, oo uu u tuso inay ahayd dacaayad ay ka fidiyeen Meles Zenawi iyo Maraykanka. Faysal Rooble wuxuu qabaa in fursaddan culaysyada looga qaaday Eritrea ay u saamaxayso inay mar kale faraha la soo gasho arrimaha Soomaaliya. Haddaba faa’iidada Soomaaliya ugu jirta inay la heshiiso Eritrea intee le’eg tahay? “Labada shacab xiriir walaaltinimo oo dheer ayaa ka dhaxeeyey, xurguftu waxay ka dhaxaysay madaxda, haddii intaa la daweeyo anigu ka baqan maayo Eritrea sida aan uga baqanayo Itoobiya” ayuu yiri Faysal Rooble. Dhinac kale marka laga eego, dadka siyaasadda gobolka indha indheeya waxay qabaan in dabayl isbeddel oo xawli ku socota ay ka dhacayso, taasoo ay Itoobiya iyo Eritrea oo dhawaan heshiiyey ay garwadeen ka yihiin. Welise ma cadda sida ay Soomaaliya u saamayn doonto dabayshaas, inkastoo aad loo sii saadaaliyey in Itoobiya ay noqon doonto irridda laga soo galo geeska Afrika. Isha: BBC Somali

The Ethiopian federal police unveiled details about the murder of Ethiopian Grand Renaissance Dam Project Manager Engineer Simegnew Bekele, who was found dead in his car on Thursday, Sky News reported. Bekele died of a gunshot in the head, in his car in Meskel Square, Addis Ababa. A pistol was found near his right hand, Ethiopian police commissioner Zeynu Jemal said. He added that investigations are still ongoing, and that a number of individuals are being interrogated over the incident – including workers in all locations where the victim worked. The police commissioner reported that some workers saw Bekele at 7:30 AM at the dam’s site, before entering his office. Photos published by news agencies showed a Toyota Land Cruiser vehicle surrounded by police, who were trying to disperse a crowd from the scene of the incident. Bekele is credited with building hydroelectric dams in Ethiopia and used to manage the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam project, the largest infrastructure project in Ethiopia’s history, before his death.

There is an endless number of problems and issues for German and Turkish leaders to discuss. Yet some in Germany may criticize rolling out the red carpet for the authoritarian Turkish leader. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will come to Berlin in late September for his first official state visit to Germany in four years, Bild newspaper reported on Saturday. It would be Erdogan’s first state visit to Germany since he became president in 2014 and moved to cement his control over Turkey through a controversial referendum last year granting him sweeping powers. The planned visit, which Bild reported based on Turkish and German official sources, would include a military honor guard and state banquet. Neither government has confirmed the report. Dismantling rule of law The red carpet treatment would come months after Erdogan’s enhanced powers and the dismantling of the parliamentary system went into effect following June elections. Turkish-German relations nosedived following the July 2016 failed coup attempt against Erdogan. In the wake of the coup bid, the Turkish government has carried out a crackdown against real and imagined enemies, drawing concerns in Europe over the deterioration of human rights and the rule of law. The mass arrests have caught up German nationals, including Die Welt correspondent Deniz Yücel and human right activist Peter Steudtner. Escalating tensions between the two countries were somewhat eased after the release from prison of Steudtner in October last year followed that of Yücel in February. Much to discuss Turkey accuses Germany of harboring followers of the Gulen movement, which Ankara blames for the coup bid. Ankara also accuses Berlin of allowing the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) to operate in Germany. However, the planned visit would also come at a critical time in the civil war in Syria as the Assad regime regains control over large swaths of territory. The regime’s offensives could next pit it against Turkey, which has carved out zones of influence in the north of Syria and taken in more than 3.5 million refugees. Turkey is key to the European Union’s efforts to prevent uncontrolled migration from reaching the bloc. Separately, the visit would come as Turkey’s economy is under severe pressure, with double digit inflation, a widening current account deficit and a 20 percent loss of value in the lira since the start of the year. Germany and Turkey are major trade and investment partners. Erdogan will therefore be looking for signs of an improved relationship with Germany to give a boost to fading international confidence in thebeleaguered Turkish economy. Source: – DW

Somalia President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo began an historic three-day visit to Eritrea on Saturday, where he holds talks with his counterpart in Asmara. Eritrea’s information minister announced on Friday that Somalia’s leader was invited by Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki. “Somalia is ready to write a new chapter of its relations with Eritrea,” Somalia’s presidential spokesman Abdinur Mohamed said Saturday on Twitter. The countries have not had any diplomatic ties for nearly 15 years, but the spokesman said the visit “will open the doors for diplomatic relations and new cooperation between the two nations.” Somali and Eritrean flags were placed along the streets of the Eritrean capital, Asmara, ahead of the visit. The visit by Farmajo comes after the long-time rivals Eritrea and Ethiopia restored diplomatic ties, a move that ended the regional and international isolation of Eritrea that lasted for nearly two decades. Proxy war For years, the tensions between Eritrea and Ethiopia had played out partly in Somalia as each gave military support to opposing sides in Somalia. In 2007, Eritrea had supported the Islamic Courts Union ICU, which ruled much of southern and central Somalia for six months before being ousted in a 2006 Ethiopian-led military offensive. In 2009, the United Nations Security Council imposed sanctions on Eritrea for its role in Somalia. Eritrea was accused of supporting Somalia’s al-Shabab group, a charge it had denied. Those sanctions could soon be lifted after Ethiopia’s prime minister recently asked the U.N. to remove the sanctions on Eritrea. Source: VOA
