Muqdisho (PP) ─ Muddo 20-sano ah ayaa laga joogaa tan iyo intii uu dagaalka ka dhexqarxay labadan dal ee Afrikaanka ah ee faqiirka ah. Dagaalkan dhexmaray Itoobiya iyo Eritrea ayaa waxaa ku naf waayay tobonaan kun oo dad ah, dad kale oo aad u badane dhaawacyo ayaa kasoo gaaray. Balse inkasta oo heshiis nabadee ay wada saxiixdeen labada dal sanadkii 2000, haddane wali waa kuwa dhufeysyada u qodan ciidammada, isna soo horfadhiya. Haddaba maxaa dhaliyay dagaalkii markii hore, maxayse tahay rajada laga qabo in uu dhammaado. ‘labo bidaar leh oo shanlo ku dagaalamaya’ Dagaalka waxa uu biloowday 6-dii May, 1998-dii kadib markii la’isku qabtay cidda maamulaysa magaalada Badme oo ah magaalo saxaro ku taala oo aysan jirin wax qiimo ah oo muuqda oo ay leedahay. Ma lahan kayd shidaal oo halkaas ku jira ama xitaa macdan, balse Itoobiya iyo Eritrea taas micno uma samaynayso, mid kastana waxa uu doonayaa in uu qaato magaaladan. Dadka xeeldheerayaasha siyaasadda ayaa ku tilmaamay “labo nin oo bidaar leh oo shanlo ku dagaalamaysa”. Markii uu dagaalka faafay, waxaa iyana balaartay dadkii qaxayay. “Dagaalka waxa uu barokiciyay qoysas badan labada dhinacba, waxaan ka kala guursanaa xadka labadiina goonyood, hadda ma is booqan karno xitaa haddii uu aroos jiro ama ay geeri jirto” ayuu yiri Kasahun Woldegiorgis oo degen magaalada Adigrat ee Itoobiya oo xudduuda u dhow. Qoysaska oo kaliya ma ahan dhibka jira, ee sidoo kale ganacsigii bulshooyinka xudduuda degan ayuu dhibka ugu weyn soo gaaray. Go’aankii laga gaaray muranka xudduuda Dagaalka wuxuu dhamaaday bishii June ee 2000, balse 6 bilood oo dambe ayay qaadatay in heshiis la kala saxiixdo, iyada oo la sameeyay guddi xudduuda ah. Waxa ujeedku ahaa in muranka lagu dhameeyo, balse markii guddigii uu go’aamiyay in magaalada Badme lagu wareejiyo Eritrea, Itoobiya waa ay diiday go’aankaas. Eritrea dhankeeda waxa ay diiday in ay wax wadahadal dambe la gasho Itoobiya illaa ay ka fulinayso go’aankii ay guddiga gaareen. Ismari waaga labada dhinac ayaa nabaddii ka dhigay mid qaw dheer ka dhacday. Waxaa mararka qaarkood dhaca is rasaasayn, magaalada Badme-na waxa ay weli ku jirtaa gacanta Itoobiya. Eritrea waxa ay shacabkeeda ku qasabtay in ay galaan gurmad qaran, balse wixii loogu talogalay in ay ku ekaadaan 18 bilood oo kaliya ayaa noqon kara mid aan dhammaad lahayn. Sidaas darteed dad badan oo aanan doonaynin in ay ciidanka kasii mid ahaadaan ayay wadada kaliya ee u furan tahay in ay qaxaan. Maanta waxa ay dadka reer Eritrea ka buuxaan xerooyin qaxooti oo ku yaala Itoobiya iyo Sudan, ama waxa ay isku biimeeyaan saxaraha iyo badda Mediterranean si ay u gaaraan qaaradda Yurub. Eritrean-ka waxa ay noqdeen dadka ugu badan ee tahriiba, qaar badana dariiqa ayay kusii dhintaan. Dowladda waxa dagaalka Itoobiya kala dhaxeeya ugu marmarsootay in ay laasho dastuurka, islamarkaasna mamnuucdo xoriyatul qowlka. Hawlgal la sameeyay sanadkii 2001-dii waxaa inta badan la xirxiray tifaftirayaashii iyo wariyeyaashii saxaafada madaxa banaan. Waxaa sidoo kale la xirxiray madaxdii xisbiga talada haya ee PFDJ, illaa haddane meel ay jiraan lama garanayo. Dhanka Itoobiya, waxa ay dowladda inta badan ka walwalsantahay degenaansho la’aanta siyaasadeed ee dalkaas in ka badan magaalada Badme. Rajada nabadda Balse ma laga yaabaa arrimaha cakiran ee Badme laga gudbi doono mardhow? Ra’isulwasaaraha cusub ee Itoobiya Abiy Axmed ayaa ku baaqay in nabad lagu dhameeyo dhibaatada jirta , balse dowladda Eritrea ayaa diiday baaqaas. “Nabadda waxa ay dan u tahay labada da, balse waa in lagu saleeyaa xushmadda loo hayo shuruucda caalamiga ah, kuwaas oo ay Itoobiya ku xad gudbayso” ayuu yiri wasiirka warfaafinta Eritrea Yemane Gebremeskel. Dhawaan waxaa Eritrea booqasho ku tagay Donald Yamamoto oo ah kaaliyaha xoghayaha arrimaha dibedda Maraykanka , waxayna tani keentay rajo cusub.

Brig Paul L’Okech, the commander of the Ugandan contingent in Somalia says the Somali army isn’t ready yet to take over. Photo: Nicholas Bamulanzeki A UN security council resolution requiring the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) to withdraw by 2021 is causing a lot of debate among the AMISOM commanders in regard to the preparedness of the Somali National Army (SNA) to take on the challenge. AMISOM started downsizing its troops last year, reducing the numbers from 22,000 to 21,000. Each of the troop contributing country reduced its presence by at least 250 soldiers according to Col Richard Omwega, the AMISOM force spokesman. Omwega belongs to the Kenya Defence Forces. “After 10 years of presence, the UN wants us to power to the Somali National Army but the transition is condition based; that as we move, there must be a stable and secure country,” Omwega said. According to the withdraw plan, another 1,000 troops will be withdrawn in October this year which comes with a closure of a forward operating base (FOB) for each of the troop contributing countries. Besides Uganda and Kenya, AMISOM has troops from Burundi, Ethiopia and Djibouti. The big debate among the AMISOM commanders is whether the UN wish is achievable within three years. “The transition must be shaped in such a way that the SNA is well trained and prepared. They are well trained but not well prepared to take over the challenge,” said Brig Paul L’Okech, the commander of the Ugandan contingent in Somalia. “It needs to be well handled otherwise we may go back to square one,” he added. SNA TRAINING Currently, there are 75 SNA cadet officers undergoing training in Uganda. These will join an earlier force of 4,000 SNA officers who were trained by Uganda. Turkey is training another force of about 1,000, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) trained about 500 troops plus some more being trained separately by the US and European Union. “Getting fighters is easy but how do you maintain them? Somalia for a quite a long time didn’t have an army, we are trying to build one but we need to put a lot of effort in training, re-organisation and preparation,” L’Okech said. AMISOM is also selling to the Somali government the idea of an LDU-like force to manage security in the villages. This has led to the incorporation of clan militias into the security system although the peacekeepers have to deal with the challenge of underage warriors. “AMISOM mandate is to support the government; we can’t interfere with local arrangement, we can only advise them not to arm young boys below 18 years,” said Col Bonny Bamwiseki, the brigade commander of the UPDF force based at Ceeljalle in Lower Shebelle region. AMISOM created by the African Union’s Peace and Security Council of January 2007 with an initial six-month mandate. This mandate has since been extended to date with the United Nations giving the troop contributing nations up to 2021 to withdraw. Source: – The Observer

ADDIS ABABA, May 4 (Xinhua) — Ethiopian Prime Minister’s recent rounds of talks with various groups of the Ethiopian society have brought effective mutual understanding and unity among Ethiopians, according to the Ethiopian Minister of Government Communications Affairs Office, Ahmed Shide. Shide, speaking about Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s first 30 days in office, said Friday that Ahmed’s discussions with Ethiopian communities have assured citizens regarding his new administration’s plan towards the country’s unity and development. According to Shide, the premier over the past one month has listened to the preoccupations and demands of the public, which in turn created mutual understanding between the government and the public regarding what actions to be done in the near future so as to sustain peace, security and unity in the country. Prime Minister Ahmed, who was appointed by the Ethiopian House of People’s Representatives, Ethiopian parliament’s lower house, has been touring the East African country, urging the various groups of the society for patience to bring about the desired changes. Ahmed in his first trip outside the capital Addis Ababa went to the conflict-hit Somali regional state, followed by a meeting with residents of Ambo town in Ethiopia’s largest Oromia regional state, a town that has been a hotbed of protests for the past few years. He had also hosted a dinner reception for the country’s opposition leaders, in which he promised to widen the democratic space as well as to work with opposition figures so as to bring better socioeconomic conditions for Ethiopia – a country that was rocked by incessant unrests and mass anti-government demonstrations since the second half of 2016. Ahmed had also met with some 25,000 representatives of the Ethiopian community and the diplomatic community in the capital. Source: Xinhua

It’s not difficult to empathise with failed asylum seekers. The usual story is as follows: flee your home country and put yourself in the hands of people traffickers, risking your life to travel thousands of miles – only to find your plea for asylum falling on deaf ears. Then, after becoming the unwitting star of a government PR drive to appear tough on immigration, you’re either detained indefinitely or put on the next flight back to wherever it is you spent so much time and effort fleeing. Now imagine all that, but with the threat of being deported to a country that you don’t even come from. This miserable chain of events is what’s happening to the hundred or so Bajunis currently seeking asylum in the UK. Hailing from islands off the coast of southern Somalia, they spent the majority of their time in their home country fishing, and the rest of it being the victims of tribal persecution and threats from the militant Islamist group Al-Shabaab. Having sought asylum in the UK, the Bajunis are facing possible deportation to Kenya and Tanzania – countries where they have no heritage or current familial links. This is because the Home Office is refusing to acknowledge the Bajunis’ Somali identity, thanks to the results of Language Testing for the Determination of Origin (LADO) tests – a type of “forensic linguistics” designed to assess the validity of nationality claims. The Bajunis I spoke to told me that these decisions were made on the basis of their interviews with language analysts, and claimed that they had to speak mainland Swahili, rather than their mother tongue of Kibajuni. The Unity Centre in Glasgow, a charity that has assisted the Bajunis with their asylum claims, alleges that the Home Office’s LADO reports have dismissed official academic guidelines and independent expert findings. They argue that political decisions are being made through the use of evidence from Sprakab, the Swedish company that conducts the reports. The centre believes that this is far from a bureaucratic mistake, and instead a way of getting around the legal barriers – under EU human rights law – involved in sending people back to war-torn Somalia. Essentially, it would seem that the Home Office wants rid of the Bajuni refugees, and – unable to deport them back to their home country – are making selective use of Sprakab analysis in order to send them elsewhere. According to Jasmin Sallis, one of the centre’s organisers, “It is a deliberate tactic. It is no coincidence that the Home Office insists these Somali Bajunis are from countries with no barriers to deportation. Lack of objective knowledge of the Bajuni Islands and differences between individuals from the mainland is a key reason the Home Office’s tactics work so well towards this minority group.” When I chased up the Home Office to ask about Sprakab and its reports, it refused to comment on individual cases, but did confirm that the company has worked for them since 2000. Sprakab also failed to comment on the questions I asked them. “It’s a huge waste of taxpayer money and resources,” said Brian Allen, who is an expert witness in the tribunal courts for Bajuni language testing. Having seen over 400 Sprakab reports, he criticised their methods, saying that obscure and misleading questions are often asked in Kenyan Swahili, rather than Kibajuni. “You have to bear in mind that the Bajuni are a remote people, and not formally educated,” he told me. “They aren’t going to answer questions [about] the names of parliamentarians or the names of mainland landmarks.” Referring to Sprakab’s testing methods, Brian said, “It’s unprofessional and intimidatory. Not only do the interviews not speak to the Bajunis in their native tongue, but a lot of the interviews were quite aggressive. “There’s a huge lack of transparency, and complete anonymity for Sprakab analysts, whom the Home Office are keen on supporting,” Allen added. “It makes it very difficult to understand how testers come to their conclusions, or the qualifications they have in the first place.” Surprisingly, Allen says that, in a rare conversation with one of the company’s managers, they told him that their reports shouldn’t be used as an authority to make asylum decisions. And it’s not just Allen who has questioned Sprakab’s practices; Alison Harvey, the legal director of the Immigration Law Practitioner’s Association, said, “Language analysis cannot tell you a person’s nationality. It is relied upon by those who prefer the comforting certainties of pseudo-science to the responsibility of exercising judgement and weighing the evidence in a particular case.” Regardless of this expert criticism, language analysis remains a vital device in deciding the future of the Bajunis, most of whom are currently on limited support on the condition that they are making preparations to deport themselves. Nineteen-year-old Abdul Rahman, who left the islands after losing his uncle, told me that, despite attempts to prove his Somali origin, the Home Office still expects him to go to Kenya. When I asked about the testing, he told me the Sprakab analyst didn’t speak Kibajuni to him, but the Kenyan dialect Swahili, while the questions asked were so vague that it proved “[the analyst] knew nothing about Somalia”. He added, “They try to trick you into telling them the answers they want to hear.” Like a number of other Bajunis, Abdul receives a very small allowance each week to spend on necessities, putting him in a better situation than the few who refused to accept voluntary deportation and have been left to rely on the help of charities and refugee organisations. Difficult as life in the UK is for the Bajunis, accepting deportation isn’t really an option, considering – as I was told – they are regularly subjected to beatings and lootings by gangs, and in some cases even rapes and murders. Mohammed (a pseudonym), one of the Bajunis I interviewed, left the islands in 2006 after his family “couldn’t take it any more”, first seeking refuge in Kenya, before eventually coming to the UK. “They killed most of my family while they slept, and we used to hear rumours that they terrorised other island communities, too,” he said. “I wanted to stay in my home for as long as possible, but we didn’t have any guns or real weapons. I had no other choice but to leave.” He said of his time in Kenya, “Those who went to Kenyan refugee camps were ignored most of the time – given little food and water, too. They didn’t like us at all, and would only give orders in Swahili – a language that the refugees had no knowledge of. They had to learn it to survive.” Unfortunately for the Bajunis who made it here, the UK has only been a little more hospitable. But in spite of all the difficulties, The Unity Centre’s Bajuni Campaign remains optimistic. According to Jasmin, “As the campaign has gained an online presence, contact by other Bajunis also facing disputed nationalities in Germany, The Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland has been made. The desirable outcomes are very basic: the right to work, and the right to be recognised as Somalian.” Source: Vige
