Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Waxaa sii kordhaaya weerarada ay maleeshiyada Al-Shabaab ka geystaan wadada Makka Al-Mukarama oo aad u mashquul badan. Wadada Makka Al-Mukarama oo ah halka ugu saxmada badan magaalada Muqdisho ayaa gasha Xarunta Madaxtooyada Somalia iyo xarumo kale oo ay leedahay dowlada. Weerarada ayaa kusoo beegmaaya iyadoo maalmihii tagay ay dowlada Somalia ka digeysay amni darro ay maleeshiyaadka Al-Shabaab waxa ayna ciidamada amaanka xireen inta badan waddooyinka magaalada. Weerarada ayaa waxaa maleeshiyada u fududeeya milkiilayaasha goobaha ganacsi ku leh hareeraha laamiga Makka Al-Mukarama, kadib markii maleeshiyada ay ku amartay in Kaamiradaha ku xiran wajiga hore ee goobahooda ka nacsi ka fureen. Warar lagu kalsoon yahay ayaa sheegaya in maleeshiyaadka Shabaab ay jareen Kaamiradaha qarsoon ee ku xiran goobaha Ganacsi ee ku yaalla wadada Makka Al-mukarama ee saaran Xarunta Villa Somalia. Maleeshiyaadka ayaa la xaqiijiyay in Goobaha Ganacsi qaarkood ay ku amreen inay jaraan Kaamiradaha, halka qaarna ay diideen inay jaraan. Inta ugu badan Kaamiradaha ay maleeshiyada Jareen ayaa ku yaalla Wasaarada Arrimaha Gudaha ilaa Isgooska Banaadir, sida laga soo xigtay qaar kamid ah milkiilayaasha Goobaha laga jaray. Kaamiradaha qaar ayaa ku dhagan goobaha hortooda, balse waxaa la xaqiijiyay inaysan aheyn kuwo shaqeeya, sababo la xiriira Hanjabaado loo jeediyay milkiilayaasha Goobaha. Kaamiradaha qarsoon ee iminka shaqeeya ayaa ku yaalla keliya qaar kamid ah Hoteelada waaweyn ee saaran laamiga, waxaana xusid mudan in xitaa Hoteelada yaryar lagu amray inay jaraan, kuwaa oo hadda aan qaarkood shaqeyn. Wadada Makka Al-mukarama ayaa kaalinta koowaad kaga jirta waddooyinka ugu mashquulka badan ee ku yaalla magaalada Muqdisho, waxaana xusid mudan in wadadaasi ay isticmaalan Madaxda dowlada Federaalka. Wakhtiyo kala duwan ayey Hay’adaha amaanka dowlada Federaalka macluumaad ka heleen Kaamiradaha qarsoon oo iyagu duubay falal amni darro oo ka dhacay waddada Makka Al-mukarama kuwaa oo ugu badan Qaraxyada dhacay. Kaamiradahaasi ayaa horay u duubay macluumaadka Gaadiid dhowr ah oo isku qarxiyay Wadda Makka Al-Mukarama, halka qaarkood ay duubeen muuqaalka maleeshiyaad geystay dilal, waana sababta ugu weyn ee dowlada Somalia ay uga hortagi la’ dahay weerarada. Sidoo kale, waxaa la rumeysan yahay in wixii ka danbeeyay furitaanka Kaamiradaha ay maleeshiyaadka ku guuleysanayeen weerarada ay ka geystaan wadada Makka Al-mukarama, gaar ahaan Xarumaha dowlada iyo Hoteelada saran laamiga. Geesta kale, waxaan weli arrintaani ku baraarugin dowlada Federaalka oo inta badan mas’uuliyiinteeda ay isticmaalan wadada Makka oo laga jaray Kaamiradaha.

Jabuuti (Caasimada Onlien) – Xarunta caalamiga ah ee Atlantic Council ee fadhigeedu yahay dalka Maraykanka, ayaa warbixin ay soo saartay waxay ku sheegtay in heshiiska nabadeed ee u bilaabmay Itoobiya iyo Ereteriya, uu halis gelinayo dalka Djibouti. Warbixintan oo uu diyaariyay Kelsey Lilley oo ah agaasimaha Atlantic Council ee Afrika, wuxuu ku iftiimiyay in Ereteriya la wareegi doonto inta badan ganacsiga Itoobiya u soo dega ama ay dhoofiso, iyadoo Ereteriya uga dhowdahay ugana haboontahay Itoobiya, marka la garab dhigo dekedaha Djibouti, waxaanu heshiiskani sida warbixintu sheegtay oo saamayn toos ah ku yeelanaya Djibouti uu walaac geliyay Madaxweyne Geele oo uu dalkiisu kooto ku haystay badeecadaha kala duwan ee Itoobiya 95%. “Sannado badan Djibouti waxay ahayd cidda ku guulaysatay colaadii Itoobiya iyo Ereteriya. Dalkan yare ee leeg gobalka New Jersey oo dadkiisu ka yaryihiin hal milyan oo ruux wuxuu leeyahay istaraatajiyad juquraafiyadeed oo faa’iido leh. Xeebteedu waxay kulmisaa badda cas iyo gacanka Cadmeed, oo ah goob istaraataji ah oo ay iskaga gooshaan ganacsiga dunidu. Iyadoo ay dekedo ka jiraan Suudaan, Somaliland iyo Ereteriya, haddana adeegyada horumarineed ee Djibouti, degenaanshaha siyaasadeed iyo maalgashiga saaxiibtinimada leh ayaa ka dhigay meel ka soo jiidasho badan gobalka intisia kale. Natiijo ahaan, Djibouti waxay ku naalootay inay kooto ku haysato badeecadaha u socda ama ay dhoofiso dalka bilaa dekedda ah ee Itoobiya.” Sidaas ayay tidhi warbixintu, waxaanay intaas raacisay “Maraykanku, sidoo kale wuxuu ka lahaa dano fog ammaanka Djibouti oo ay ku jiraan saldhiga Milatari ee Maraykanka ee qaaradda oo ah goobta lagula dagaalamo argagixisada bariga Afrika iyo jasiirada Carabta. Ilaa 4000 oo askari oo Maraykan ah ayaa ku sugan saldhigaas,oo isticmaala madaarka ay wada jirka u isticmaalaan ciidamada iyo diyaaradaha drone-ka ah ee weerada ka fuliya Yemen iyo Soomaaliya. Iyadoo hoosta laga xariiqayo ahmiyada istaarajiyadeed ee ay u leedahay Pentagonal, wasiirka difaaca ee Maraykanka Jim Mattis ayaa booqday Djibouti April 2017, wax yar uun ka hor furitaanka saldhiga milatari ee u horeeyay ee China ku leeyahay Djibouti. Waxa iyaguna saldhigo cabiro kala duwan ah ku leh Japan, Faransiiska, Talyaaniga iyo Sucuudiga.” Warbixinta waxa lagu sheegay in ganacsiga Itoobiya 95% uu maro Djibouti, taasina ay ka dhigtay Djibouti mid kooto ku haysata Itoobiya, “Itoobiya iyo Djibouti waxay samaysteen xidhiidh siyaasadeed iyo dhaqaale oo ka fog danaha guud. Markii dagaalka xuduudku ka dhex qarxay Itoobiya iyo Ereteriya sannadkii 1998, Itoobiya waxay weyday dekedii Ereteriya, waxaanay si weyn isugu halaysay dekedaha Djibouti inay waxna kala soo degto waxna ka dhoofiso. Qiyaastii 95% ganacsiga Itoobiya, wuxuu maraa Djibouti. Djibouti lafteedu waxay isku halaysay jaarkeedan culus oo ay ka keensatay biyo iyio koronto. Faa’iidada ay Djibouti ka hesho dekedahaaeda Itoobiay waxa lagu qiyaastaa sannadkii 1 bilyan oo dollar, waana ahmiyada miisaaniyadda dawladda Madaxweyne Geele. Laakiin Itoobiya waxay u heshay qorshahan si qoto dheer waxaanay danaynaysay inay is balaadhiso oo ay hesho adeegyo dekadeed. Maraykanka sidoo kale, oo aan aad ugu qanacsanayn saaxiibtinimada madaxweyne Geele, gaar ahaan damaciisa inuu kiro ka soo saaro saldhigyo badan oo shisheeye intii suurtoga ah, oo uu ku jiro ogolaanshaha uu China ugu ogolaatay saldhig kilo mitiro u jira kan Maraykanka, wuxuu sababay in Maraykanku meesha ka baxo.” Warbixinta waxa lagu sheegay in xiisada u dhaxaysa Ereteriya iyo Djibouti ee aan weli xalka la oo helin ay soo noqon karto, ka dib markii ay Qatar kala baxday ciidamadeedii kala dhex joogay “Xuduudka galbeed ee Djibouti wuxuu noqday dhul milatari ilaa markii isku dhacu bilaabmay sannadkii 2008. Qatar ayaa isku dayday inay dhexdhexaadiso, waxaanay xataa ku guulaysatay inay fududayso maxaabiistii la is dhaafsaday sannadkii 2016, ka hor intii aanay ciidamadeeda kala bixin xuduudka Djibouti iyo Ereteriya iyadoo ka xumaatay go’aankii ay labada wadanba kula safteen Sucuudiga iyo Imaaraadka Carabta khilaafka wadamada Khaliijka.” Warbixinta machadkan oo ka hadlaysa dhaqaalaha Djibouti ka soo gala saldhigyada, lacagtaas oo sii xoojinaysa in Madaxweyne Geele talada sii hayo, waxaanay tidhi “China waxa la soo weriyay inuu sanandkii saldhigooda ka bixiyo 20 milyan oo dollar oo ah ilaa sannadka 2025, kuna darso oo xisaabta kuma jirto in ka badan 1 bilyan oo dollar oo uu China ammaahiyay. Maraykanku wuxuu bixiyaa sannadkii 70 milyan oo dollar oo ilaa ugu yaraan lix sannadood oo dambe ah, Faransiiskuna wuxuu bixiyaa 30 milyan oo dollar sannadkii oo ay ku jiraan arrimahooda ciidan. Faa’iidooyinkaasi waxay gacan ka gaystaan wax u muuqda dhaqaale barwaaqo ah. Djibouti koritaankeeda dhaqaale waxa la rajaynayaa inuu noqdo 7% mustaqbalka dhow. Laakiin sidaas oo uu yahay dhaqaalaha Djibouti, dadka badankiisu waa foqoro hoose, aan horumarin waxaanay la haystayaal u yihin keli-talisnimada madaxweyne Geele. In ku dhow rubuc dadka waxay ku noolyihin saboolnimo qayral caadi ah, waxaanay Djibouti ku xuntahay xuquuqda siyaasadda iyo xuquuqda shacabka” Sidaas daraadeed, machadku wuxuu warbixintiisa ku sheegay in heshiiska labadan wadan ee Itoobiya iyo Ereteriya aanu war wanaagsan u ahayn Djibouti, waxaanay warbixintu tilmaamaysaa inay Ereteriya u waregi karaan Itoobiya iyo Maraykankuba, “Wada hadallada nabadda ee Itoobiya iyo Ereteriya, war xun bay u yiiin Geelle, oo horumarka dalkiisa ku xidhay in uu dekedda ugu fiican u noqdo dalalka dhaqaalahoodu weynyahay, sida Itoobiya. Iyadoo loo malaynayo inay sii socdaan dedaalada in xaaladu caadi noqoto, Itoobiya waxay sida ugu dhaqsaha badan ikhtiyaar ugu heli doontaa inay isticmaasho dekedaha Ereteriya oo aad ugu dhow, kana haboon kuwa Djibouti. Iyadoo aan la filayn in Itoobiya ay joojiso isticmaalka dekedaha Djibouti dhammaantood, ikhtiyaar ayay haddana leedahay. Ereteriya xataa waxay muujin doontaa inay noqoto saaxiib soo dhaweeya milatariga shisheeye sidii ay hore ugu ogolaatay Imaaraadka Carabta dekedda Casab si uu u fuliyo dagaalada Yemen. Mid ka mid ah caqabadaha Itoobiya soo waajahaya haddii ay ka tagto Djibouti, ayaa ah inay waajib ku tahay inay dib u celiso in ku dhow 3 billion oo dollar oo ah amaahada China ee lagu dhisay jidka tareenka dhawaan la furay ee isku xidhaya Addis Ababa iyo Djibouti.” Warbixintu waxay sheegtay in haddii ay dalalka shisheeye ee Djibouti ku sugani raacaan Itoobiya oo ay u wareegaan Ereteriya in taasi halis gelin doonto il dhaqaale oo muhiim u ah dalka Djibouti. “Sannadahan u dambeeyay” ayaa lagu yidhi qoraalka, “Imaaraadka Carabta oo kordhiyay danahooda gobalka Geeska Afrika waxay sii adkeeyeen xaaladii adkayd ee Djibouti. Imaaraadka Carabtu wuxuu saldhig ka helay Ereteriya, wuxuu saldhig milatari iyo deked ka helay Somaliland iyo dhawr dekeadood oo Puntland ah. Laakiin xidhiidhka Djibouti iyo UAE wuu kacsanaa ilaa February 2018 markii ay Djibouti laashay heshiiskii shirkadda DP world ee gacan ku haynta dekedda ugu muhiimsan Djibouti. Warar hore oo soo baxay ayaa tilmaamay in UAE ay door ka ciyaartay isfahamka Itoobiya iyo Ereteriya. Iskaashiga koraya ee ay Imaaraadka Carabta ee Itoobiya oo dhawaan dekedda Berbera ka siiyay saami dhan 19% oo ay ku wada jiraan DP world iyo Somaliland ayaa sidoo kale ah marag u ah kala duwnaanshahiyaha gobal ee hoosta in laga xariiqo mudan.” Ugu dambayn warbixinta ayaa sheegtay in Madaxweyne Geele heshiiskan u arko inuu khatar ku yahay, waxaana lagu soo gunaanaday in mar kasta oo uu sii xoogaysto xidhiidhka Addis Ababa iyo Asmara ay soo deg degayso inay soo gaabnaato istaraatajiyada iyo ahmiyada Djibouti, iyadoo xalinta colaadani sii xoojin doonta degenaashaha gobalka Geeska Afrika.

Haddaba Amniga magaalada Muqdisho ayaa ku xiran 3 arrin oo aysan fulinkarin DFS kuwaa oo kala ah: 1-In Maxkamada ciidamada Qalabka Sida ay kasoo hormuuqdan Saraakiisha waaweyn ee looga shakiyo ku lug lahaanshiyaha weerarada ay qaadan Al-Shabaab. 2-In dowlada Somalia ay hir galiso sharci taliyayaasha iyo saraakiisha ciidan lagu tooganaayo, haddii lagu caddeeyo in wada shaqeyn ay kala dhexeyso Al-Shabaab. 3-Dowlada Somalia oo xukuno sanado badan ku rida Saraakiisha lagu tuhunsan yahay inay u janjeeran Al-Shabaab. Dowlada Somali oo og xaqiiqda dhabta ah ayaan awood u laheyn in sharciga ay horgeyso Saraakiisha sida dhow ula shaqeeya maleeshiyaadka Al-Shabaab kuwaa oo la rumeysan yahay inay ku jiraan dhamaan Hay’adaha amaanka. Saraakiisha ugu badan ee sida dhow ula shaqeeya Al-Shabaab ayaa ah kuwa la buunbuuniyo ee kasoo goostay maleeshiyaadka Al-Shabaab ee sida xorta ah ku dhexmara magaalada Muqdisho, hase yeeshee dowlada qudheeda ayaa u muuqata mid iska indha tireysa xaqiiqda dhabta ah. Sidoo kale, Dowlada Somalia oo aasaas ahaan ku dhisan hab qabiil ayaa aad uga cabsi qabta in heer Maxkamadeed ay la gaarto kuwa u qaabilsan Amniga ee la shaqeeya Al-Shabaab. Geesta kale, Dowlada Somalia qudheeda ayaan u jilicsaneen amni ka dhalinta magaalada Muqdisho, marba haddii uusan shaqeyneynin sharciga oo aysan muuqan Taliyayaal iyo Saraakiil ii xukun ku dhacaayo.

Dubai-based DP World has commenced a legal battle with Djibouti over termination of a contract to manage the Doraleh Container Terminal. DP World said it has commenced an arbitration against the government of Djibouti before the London Court of International Arbitration, following Djibouti’s decision in February to terminate a contract for running the port facility. The Dubai-based company said it issued its statement after “reports of the opening of the first phase of the Chinese built International Free Trade Zone, in violation of DP World’s exclusive management rights.” The firm insisted that its concession agreement for the Doraleh Container Terminal (DTC) remains in force, warning that the government’s seizure of the facility does not give the right to any third party to violate the terms of the concession agreement. “DP World reserves the right to take all available legal actions, including claims for damages against any third parties that interfere or otherwise violate its contractual rights,” a DP World spokesperson said. DP World, Ethiopia and Somaliland partnered this year to develop the Port of Berbera. Two weeks ago, DP World said it is considering setting up a logistics facility in Ethiopia to handle goods from the new port of Berbera to other landlocked African countries. Last week, Djibouti commissioned a $3.5 billion port built by China’s Dalian Port Corporation. This is one of several new ports and trade facilities Djibouti is developing to create a free zone. Djibouti said the free zone will be jointly operated by Djibouti Ports and Free Zones Authority and China’s Merchants Holdings Company. “Our strategic location and world-class facilities have seen Djibouti’s importance as a trade hub recognised globally,” Aboubakar Omar Hadi, chairman of the Djibouti Ports and Free Trade zone. In January, Mr Hadi said that they were in talks with French shipping company CMA CGM to develop a $600 million new container terminal in its biggest port Doraleh, as it seeks to become the regions sea and air transport hub for the continent. “We are going to build the Doraleh International Container Terminal that will target transhipment. This is a new plan. We are in discussions with CMA CGM and we hope to break ground in September for the new container terminal project and its construction expected to take two years,” Mr Hadi said.

Families have lost everything in the aftermath of Cyclone Sagar. Cash aid is the fastest way to help them. “I am 80 years old, and I have never seen a storm like this in my lifetime,” says Habane Abdi. He is a longtime resident of Somaliland´s Awdal region. He lives in one of over 50 villages in the region that were severely hit by the tropical cyclone Sagar between the 16th and 19th of May this year. This past May set monthly records for rain and extreme weather all across Somalia. Cyclone Sagar – the country´s first ever storm of such magnitude – dropped a year’s worth of rain on the country in just a few days, and added a new dimension to the pre-existing humanitarian response actions taking place in the country. First drought, then a cyclone “After two years of severe drought, the cyclone has crippled the livelihoods of people who were recovering from the droughts,” says Ibrahim Omar, who leads the Norwegian Refugee Council´s (NRC) operation in Somaliland. “Sagar has destroyed crops and livestock. Lives were lost, and due to the flooding it has been difficult to reach out to people in need.” The National Disaster Management Authority, NADFOR, estimated that 49 people have been killed, and over 70 are still missing. Nearly 168,000 people were directly affected by the cyclone and around 277 hectares of land have been destroyed. More than 10,000 people had to flee their homes to save their lives. Thousands of people are in dire need of support to rebuild their livelihoods. Cash is smart aid NRC has been a long-time advocate for cash aid in humanitarian crises. It has proven to be one of the most efficient and dignified ways to support people in need. Sagar has ruined livelihoods, destroyed homes, and contaminated waters, long term issues that compound existing hardships. With cash, families have been able to buy what they need right away. Sahra Cige, 41, and her family of six have been among those worst hit in region. “The storm ruined our home and all of our belongings. For the first few days after the storm, all of us and our neighbours had to sleep in a school nearby,” she says. Sahra has been receiving cash assistance for two months as part of our emergency drought response funded by the Somali Humanitarian Fund (SHF). When the storm hit, the cash became their only way to access food. There is a growing need for this type of aid in humanitarian situations like Somalia. Ibrahim Omar The fear of waterborne diseases The humanitarian need is great in Somaliland. In addition to destroying what’s left of peoples’ livelihoods, Sagar has piled cases of illness upon a population that is still struggling to cope after the country´s worst drought in 20 years. Several cases of diarrhea have been reported in the area. “These communities already lack access to clean water and proper latrines. This is worsened by the dead livestock that is likely to contaminate the water streams,” says Omar. Cash, like any other form of aid, is most efficient when combined with other kinds of humanitarian assistance. In Somaliland, we provide people with cash along with hygiene kits, life-saving aid like shelter, and aqua tabs to purify water. This is one step towards working to prevent waterborne disease and helping people rebuild their lives. Source : NRC

The defection of an Emirati prince to Qatar has provided a rare glimpse into tensions among the rulers of the United Arab Emirates and added an awkward complication to its feud with Qatar, its regional rival. The prince, Sheikh Rashid bin Hamad al-Sharqi, 31, is the second son of the emir of Fujairah, one of the smaller and less wealthy of the seven monarchies that form the United Arab Emirates. Until recently, he ran Fujairah’s pro-government media operation. Early on the morning of May 16, Sheikh Rashid unexpectedly turned up at the airport in Doha, the capital of Qatar, asking for asylum. He told Qatari officials that he feared for his life because of a dispute with the rulers of Abu Dhabi, the oil-rich city-state that dominates the U.A.E., as Sheikh Rashid and a Qatari close to the ruling family confirmed in interviews. A representative of the Emirati Embassy in Washington declined to comment, and the rulers of Fujairah could not be reached. Sheikh Rashid’s flight to Doha appears to be the first time in the nearly 47-year history of the U.A.E. that a member of one of its seven royal families has publicly criticized its rulers, according to scholars of the region. In an interview with The New York Times, Sheikh Rashid accused Emirati rulers of blackmail and money laundering, though he provided no evidence to support his claim. He also spoke publicly about tensions among the Emirates that were previously discussed only in whispers — notably resentments over Abu Dhabi’s leadership of the U.A.E.’s military intervention in Yemen. The rulers of Abu Dhabi, he charged, did not consult the emirs of the other six Emirates before committing their troops to the war, now three years old, against an Iranian-allied faction in Yemen. But soldiers from smaller emirates, such as Fujairah, have filled the front lines and accounted for most of the war deaths, which Emirati news reports have put at a little more than 100. “There have been more deaths from Fujairah than anywhere else,” Sheikh Rashid said, and he accused Abu Dhabi of hiding the full death toll. He said he decided to give the interview in the hope that public attention to his case would protect his family in Fujairah from pressure by Abu Dhabi, and he appeared to hope that threatening further disclosures might give him leverage against Abu Dhabi as well. “I am the first in a royal family going out of the U.A.E. and telling everything about them,” he said. But his arrival in Doha has also posed a dilemma for Qatar, in part because of uncertainty surrounding Sheikh Rashid’s dispute with Abu Dhabi. The U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia have led a campaign to isolate Qatar, cutting off all diplomatic and trade relations in an effort to pressure the tiny petroleum-rich monarchy to adhere to a common foreign policy and join their crackdown on political Islam. Adding to the pressure, Abu Dhabi has played host to a handful of exiled members of the Qatari royal family, playing up their criticism of the current emir and promoting them as alternative leaders. Qatar, however, has declined to publicly acknowledge Sheikh Rashid’s presence. The Qatari close to the royal family confirmed that Qatar had allowed Sheikh Rashid to stay, but a government spokesman declined repeated requests for comment. Scholars of the region say Qatar is likely to fear escalating its confrontation with the U.A.E. by appearing to sponsor a dissident royal in exile. But the Qatari said the government was also uneasy about the details of Sheikh Rashid’s dispute with Abu Dhabi. In the interview, Sheikh Rashid accused Abu Dhabi intelligence agencies of blackmailing him with the threat of releasing embarrassing videos of a personal nature. He called the videos “fabricated” but he declined to disclose the content of the material, raising the possibility that, if they emerged, the video might embarrass his Qatari hosts as well. Sheikh Rashid also claimed that the intelligence agencies had pressured him to transfer tens of millions of dollars on their behalf to people he did not know in other countries, which would appear to violate Emirati and international laws against money laundering. “They said, ‘send money here’ and ‘send money there’ as part of their agenda,” he said, adding that he had transferred as much as $70 million total to Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Egypt and Syria, and as far away as India and Ukraine. He was unable to provide evidence corroborating the accusation, saying that invoices for those transactions remained in Fujairah. By his own account, Sheikh Rashid began refusing further requests this spring when an Emirati intelligence operative brought up his family, the rulers of Fujairah. Sheikh Rashid said he interpreted the operative’s comments to mean that the agencies wanted him to seek to replace his older brother as crown prince. Scholars who study the Persian Gulf said the leaders of the other Emirates had often grumbled privately about Abu Dhabi’s dominance of the U.A.E. and its foreign policy. “It is rare for such elite politics to spill out so publicly in the U.A.E.,” said David B. Roberts, a professor at Kings College London who studies the Persian Gulf. Source: The New York Times

Former President Barack Obama is visiting his father’s homeland of Kenya before heading to South Africa, where he’ll take part in events honoring Nelson Mandela’s birthday. Obama meets Kenya’s president, Uhuru Kenyatta, and opposition leader Raila Odinga on Sunday before attending the inauguration of a sports and vocational center founded by his sister, Auma Obama, on Monday. The center in Siaya County will provide educational and economic opportunities to help young people serve their communities and shares a similar mission to the former president’s Obama Foundation. “Given that his own mission under the Obama Foundation is to inspire and empower people to change the world, his attendance at this event at our ancestral home, where our father was laid to rest, is of great significance to me,” Auma Obama said last month. Artists painted murals of Obama on the streets of his father’s hometown of Kogelo, while some bars advertised a drink called the “Obama brew.” On Twitter, Kenyans are using hashtags like #Obamareturns and #Obamakaributena, which means ” Obama welcome again” in Swahili. The former president and his sister share a father but have different mothers. The siblings have a close relationship. Auma Obama attended his 2009 inauguration and was a big part of her brother’s 2015 visit to Kenya. During that visit, his sister rode in the presidential limousine after he landed at the airport. She introduced him to a crowd of nearly 5,000 Kenyans waiting to see Obama. South Africa From Kenya, Obama will head to South Africa later in the week to meet with President Cyril Ramaphosa and to speak at an event in honor of the late Nelson Mandela’s birthday in Johannesburg. He’ll also take part in a town hall with 200 new leaders of the Obama Foundation in Africa. “President Obama looks forward to meeting these emerging leaders for the first time, hearing about the extraordinary work they are doing across Africa, and discussing how the Obama Foundation can support their civic leadership development,” said Katie Hill, a spokeswoman for the former president.
