Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, will carry out an official visit to the United States on July 28-29, official sources reported today. Deputy Foreign Minister, Birtukan Ayano, announced Ahmed’s visit, during which he will meet with U.S. senior officials and representatives of the large community of the Ethiopian diaspora based in North America. Ayano stated that the high level meetings will be held under an atmosphere of respect and mutual understanding, seeking ways of cooperation to benefit both countries. Nonetheless, experts warned of the need to remain alert, since Washington is directing a historic projection of usurpation of resources and interference in Africa, whose isolated aid has marked elements of interest. It is known by everyone, or evaded by those who do not want to warn it, that the approach to Addis Ababa was always based on a strategic nuance in the Horn of Africa region; even, the supposed contribution to the normalization of relations with Eritrea is not as healthy as it seems, said Alemayehu Kassa, a researcher at the Center for Strategic Studies. For Kassa, these ‘efforts to reconcile’ the enemies have behind the scenes a hope of control over the area, which in the end seeks to dominate the Gulf of Aden and secure attacks against Yemen.

Ethiopia on Friday inaugurated a 458-km 230-Kilo Volts (KV) electricity transmission line that will traport electricity from Alamata in the north to Legetafo in central Ethiopia near the capital city Ansddis Ababa. The transmission line was built jointly by two Chinese firms, including Sichuan Electric Power Transmission and Transformation Construction Limited (SPTTC) and Jiangsu ETERN company Limited. Speaking to Xinhua, Li Xiaodong, Project Manager of SPTTC, said the project will help Ethiopian consumers receive reliable power supply. “The transmission line financed by the World Bank started in November 2017 and was completed in eight months with safety, efficiency and quality”, Li said. “This project built at a bid price of 20 million U.S. dollars will benefit local people,” he further said. Girma Zeleke, Transmission, Substation, Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Manager of Ethiopia Electric Power (EEP) on his part, said the 230 KV electricity transmission line built by the two Chinese firms is a first of its kind as it will work alongside another nearby 230 KV transmission line, helping end sporadic power cuts in Addis Ababa and other major cities. Ephrem Desalegn, Assistant Manager of Sichuan Electric Power Transmission and Transformation Construction Limited, said he’s seen a steady increase in salary and job promotion, ever since he was first employed by the company five years ago. “When I entered the company, I was first hired as a foreman, since then I have been able to learn job skills and learn to speak Chinese language”, said Desalegn. “I have learned how to work with diligence and hard work, with quality and efficiency from my five years’ work experience with my Chinese superiors”, he said.8 Source: – Xinhua

Ethiopia’s Somali regional government has forcefully denied allegations of systemic torture at Jijiga Central Prison, setting the stage for a potential showdown with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. The denial comes on the heels of an in-depth report from Human Rights Watch documenting the scope of torture at Jijiga, also known as Jail Ogaden, in the Somali regional capital. “I have seen the report. It’s not true; it’s not based on facts,” Idris Ismail Abdi, the information minister for the Somali Region, told VOA’s Somali Service this week. “It’s not like they [HRW] came here and spoke to people. This is far from the truth, and it’s fabricated,” Abdi said. The HRW report, based on interviews with 70 former prisoners, along with government officials, paints one of the most detailed pictures to date of the pervasive, and often depraved, use of torture in Ethiopian prisons. Hours before HRW published its findings, Ethiopia’s attorney general, Berhanu Tsegaye, announced that all prison heads in the country had been fired “for failing to discharge their responsibilities and respect prisoners’ human rights,” according to state-owned broadcaster Fana Television. That move, and a historic admission last month by Ahmed that the government sanctioned torture in violation of its constitution, could lead to a political confrontation between the federal government and the powerful Somali regional leaders. ‘Absolutely no rule of law’ According to HRW, officials have detained thousands of prisoners at Jail Ogaden, most of whom experience routine abuse and neglect. Many of the prisoners have never been convicted of or even charged with a crime, HRW said. Officials believe that the prisoners either belong to or sympathize with the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), a prominent opposition group. ONLF has, in years past, fought the Ethiopian Defense Forces, and both groups committed war crimes in 2007 and 2008, according to HRW. On Thursday, the Ethiopian parliament removed ONLF and two other opposition groups from a list of terrorist organizations. Felix Horne is a senior researcher in HRW’s Africa division and wrote the report on Jail Ogaden. He told VOA that, although government torture has been widespread in Ethiopia, the Somali region is unique in its lawlessness. “There is absolutely no rule of law,” Horne said. “Of 70 former detainees we interviewed, only four had ever been to court. And the individuals who are responsible for abuse in Jail Ogaden, and responsible for bigger and broader abuses in the Somali region, are all the way to the highest level.” Horne said that the only way forward is for the prime minister to step in with a federal commission to provide oversight and investigate abuses. That’s within Ahmed’s authority, Horne said, and a necessary step to create lasting change. But it would likely put Ahmed at odds with Abdi Mohamoud Omar, the Somali regional president. Omar, also known as Abdi Illey, oversees the Liyu police, a special force responsible for a range of abuses against Ethiopians, particularly in the Somali region, according to human rights groups. Regional ‘warlord’ Hallelujah Lulie is a security researcher and political analyst at Amani Africa. The Liyu police function as a regional army, Lulie told VOA, and they were established to contain the ONLF, which has posed a longstanding political threat to Abdi Illey’s party. Lulie said that HRW’s findings are not surprising, but the extent of abuses exposed by the report is noteworthy. Dislodging Abdi Illey from power, however, might not be so easy. “His power in unchecked,” Lulie said. “He’s been running the region as a warlord, that I can say for sure,” Lulie added. “He has total control over … the security institutions, the legislative units, all orders of regional government.” Lulie recalled one instance in which six or seven members of Abdi Illey’s cabinet rebelled against him and traveled to Addis Ababa, the capital. Abdi Illey followed them there and hijacked them back to Jijiga, Lulie said. But Horne sees limits to Abdi Illey’s authority. Upcoming elections in 2020 would provide one way to remove him from power, and his authority ultimately stems from the federal government. “Abdi Illey has overseen various abuses. He’s responsible for the Liyu Police, who engaged in many massacres, some of which have been documented by human rights groups. And he can be prosecuted under Ethiopian law for that,” Horne said. In the short term, Horne said, accountability must improve. “One thing that was pretty evident from this this research is that there is grossly inadequate oversight of regional detention facilities. And that needs to change,” Horne said. Source: VOA

The European Parliament has condemned the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia for cutting financial support to Somalia for its neutrality on a rift between a Saudi-led quartet and Qatar. The Belgium-based parliament said in a resolution passed on Wednesday that Somalia has “sought to remain neutral” on the ongoing crisis, but was in turn “deprived of regular budgetary support payments by Saudi Arabia and the UAE”. “In terms of the wider confrontation between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia, on the one hand, and Qatar, on the other, the Federal Government of Somalia has sought to remain neutral; whereas, in retaliation, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have ceased their regular budgetary support payments to Somalia, which further weakens the government’s ability to pay the security forces,” the resolution reads. The statement called on “the UAE to cease forthwith all acts of destabilization in Somalia and respect Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity”. Somalia is highly dependent on trade from Saudi Arabia and imports many UAE products. Last month, an Emirati plane was grounded in the African country for several hours after UAE officials refused to allow the search of a luggage which Somalia officials had described as “suspicious”. Accordingly, the Emirati military trainers who were on board the plane were held for hours at Bosaso International Airport in Somalia’s semi-autonomous region of Puntland, as they refused to allow security forces to check their suspiciously “heavy” luggage. In an earlier incident, the Somali federal government had confiscated nearly $10 million from a UAE Royal Jet at the Mogadishu International Airport. Following the incident, the UAE ended its military training program in Somalia, which started in 2014. Tensions between Somalia and the UAE emerged in March after the Dubai-based DP World granted a 19-percent stake to Ethiopia in the Berbera port in breakaway Somaliland, which Somalia has not recognized as independent. Under that deal, the UAE builds a military base in the Berbera port and trains the soldiers of the breakaway Somali region. Mogadishu censured the agreement as a violation of international law. Somalia’s internationally-backed government is reportedly planning to file a legal complaint against the UAE for setting up the military base. Somaliland is located along the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait across from Yemen, where the UAE has been waging a devastating war as part of a Saudi-led coalition. Relations between Somalia and the UAE first soured last year when Mogadishu refused to take sides with the Saudi regime and the UAE in their diplomatic dispute with Qatar. Last June, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates abruptly cut diplomatic ties with Qatar and imposed an economic embargo on the country, accusing it of supporting terrorism, a claim Doha strongly rejected.
