Baidoa – Mukhtar Abdi was tending to his family’s goats in the southwestern Somali city of Baidoa one day when a shiny, circle-shaped metallic object caught the nine-year-old boy’s attention. “It seemed beautiful to me. I removed it from under a thorn tree and started playing with it. Unfortunately, when I banged it against that tree, it exploded,” he recounts. Source: Hiiraan Online

As times of uncertainty linger in the streets of Mogadishu, I wanted to put pen to paper- more like fingers to a keyboard and remind the different leaders of Somalia that the fate of our country lies in the palm of your hands. Somalia’s prolonged instability has caused much strife but what is harder to watch- many of you have forgotten about the people who’ve elected you, those who put you in office to represent their needs. You have neglected your roles and failed to realize that you should serve and fulfill your duties at the pleasure of the people. Source: Hiiraan Online

In this Tuesday, April, 3, 2018 photo, Muse Bihi Abdi, the President of Somaliland speaks to The Associated Press in Hergeisa, Somaliland, Somalia. The breakaway northern region of Somaliland declared its independence nearly three decades ago, but despite having its own currency, parliament and military the predominantly Muslim country hasn’t been recognized by any foreign government. Abdi is hoping to change that by aligning his country’s interests with energy-rich Gulf Arab states eager to expand their military footprint in the Horn of Africa. (AP Photo/Malak Harb) Somalia’s breakaway northern region of Somaliland declared its independence nearly three decades ago, but despite having its own currency, parliament and military the predominantly Muslim country hasn’t been recognized by any foreign government. Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi is hoping to change that by aligning his country’s interests with energy-rich Gulf Arab states eager to expand their military footprint in the Horn of Africa along the vital shipping corridor of Bab al-Mandeb, the entryway to the Red Sea for ships from Asia and oil tankers from the Gulf heading to Europe. Speaking to The Associated Press in the capital, Hargeisa, on Tuesday, Abdi defended an agreement that allows the United Arab Emirates to establish a military base in Somaliland. “Our government is not so strong and our zone needs to be protected,” he said. “I think we need a friendly country to have a cooperation with military security, we need it.” Securing the Horn of Africa has become increasingly important for Gulf countries since March 2015, when a Saudi-led coalition launched a war against Iran-allied rebels in Yemen. On Tuesday, the coalition, which includes the UAE, said the rebels attacked a Saudi oil tanker in the Bab al-Mandeb strait, causing minor damage. Abdi declined to disclose how many Emirati troops would be based in Somaliland or when construction of the base will be complete. The lease for the base is for 25 years. “Yes, we are allied to the United Arab Emirates and to Saudi (Arabia),” Abdi said. “All our business, main assets, are in Dubai. All our imports depend on United Arab Emirates, their ports,” he said. “We have relations of business and economic ties with them, so we are allies with them.” Abdi, who won elections in November, spoke Tuesday from his office in Somaliland’s capital of Hergeisa, home to around 1 million people. Somaliland is far more peaceful than Somalia, where the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab group carries out frequent attacks. Except for a Coca-Cola factory outside the largely impoverished city, there are no visible signs of multinational companies. The city, which moves without traffic lights, is not home to any major international hotel chains, American fast food restaurants or bustling shopping malls. Instead, the country is capitalizing on its strategic location near Bab al-Mandeb. Somaliland signed an agreement last year with one of the world’s largest port operators, DP World, to operate its Port of Berbera. The agreement with DP World, which is majority-owned by the Dubai government in the UAE, was signed the same year that the UAE’s plans to build a naval base in Berbera were revealed. It’s the latest example of how DP World’s business dealings in East Africa increasingly mirror the UAE’s military expansion in the region. The UAE, which is also reportedly building up a long-term military presence in Eritrea, is not the only country with troops in East Africa. Turkey opened a military base in Somalia last year. Neighboring Djibouti is home to a U.S. base that launches drone missions over Somalia and Yemen, as well as a Chinese military base and Japan’s first overseas base since World War II. Last week, Somalia asked for the United Nations Security Council to intervene to stop the UAE from building the military base in Somaliland. Somalia said the agreement between the Gulf state and Somaliland, which it refers to as the “Northwestern Region of Somalia,” was made without the consent of Somalia’s government and is in “clear violation of international law.” Somaliland’s minister of foreign affairs, Saad Ali Shire, said his country’s alliance with the UAE is a sign of the growing “realization that Somaliland should be recognized.” “We feel that we have the right to be recognized. We have the right for self-determination under the U.N. charter,” Shire told the AP. “That’s a fact which I think everybody should recognize, and perhaps the UAE is finally coming around to recognize that fact as well.” DP World’s recent expansion into Somaliland creates an alternative corridor for imports for landlocked Ethiopia, a country of 110 million people and the largest economy in the Horn of Africa. Cargo going to Ethiopia currently constitutes 15 percent of Berbera port’s operations. DP World holds a 51 percent stake in the port, Somaliland holds a 30 percent stake and Ethiopia holds the remaining 19 percent. DP World operations in Berbera threaten Djibouti’s near monopoly on Ethiopia’s imports and exports. Djibouti’s port provides Ethiopia with more than 95 percent of Ethiopia’s imports. The deal with Somaliland prompted Djibouti to abruptly end DP World’s contract for its Doraleh container terminal in February. DP World’s Berbera operations manager, Ali Ismail Mahamoud, acknowledged that the port is a competitor in East Africa. He spoke to the AP on a recent visit to the port. “Whenever you open a port near another port which is close to it, definitely you have to be competitive. (We are) not purely competitive with Djibouti, but I would define it as we have to be competitive,” he said. AP

Today, Human Rights Centre released a quarterly report. The report covers incidents documented by HRC from 10th December 2017 to 31st March 2018. It is based on data gathered, verified and recorded by the Centre. This period coincides with a change in leadership in Somaliland. President Muse Behi Abdi was inaugurated on 13th December 2017 after he won the 13th November presidential election contested by three presidential hopefuls, two of them from opposition parties. During the reporting period, 11 journalists were arrested in different regions. Five of them were prosecuted (four of them were released after paying fine, and one is still in detention facing charges), and six were released without charges. Other seven people were arrested for statements they made. Poet Naema Ahmed Ibrahim, arrested on 27th January 2018, was charged on 4th March 2018 by the Office of the Attorney General. The prosecution charged Naema of two accounts: Anti-national Activity of a citizen abroad (article 212 of the Penal Code) and Bringing the Nation or the State into Contempt (article 219(2) of the Penal Code). As stated in the charge sheet dated on 4th March, the first charge relates to a Facebook post allegedly written by Naema in her Facebook account. The prosecution says the post “weakens the existence, unity, and solidarity of the State.” The second charge is about “insult and defamation against the state circulated in the media,” by Naema, the charge sheet says. The first hearing of the case started on 17th March 2018. Mohamed Kayse Mohamoud was arrested on 7th February 2018 for Facebook posts. According to a charge sheet submitted by the Office of the Attorney General, Mohamed is accused of “subversive or anti-national propaganda,” and “offending the honour of the President.” The first charge relates to a Facebook post saying “it is meaningless Somaliland to reach its borders,” according to the charge sheet. The second charge is about another Facebook post in which Mohamed said “the President is a local.” The charge sheet says such statement is defaming the president, but it does not provide details. Despite these challenges, on 26th December 2017, the President signed a Police Act into a law. The approval of the Act is a positive step forward. The Act creates an oversight body independent from the Police, and subjects the police to the jurisdiction of civilian courts. It expressly bans the Police from using live ammunition against unarmed civilians. However, three months period set by the Act for the establishment of the complaint committee has passed and the committee is not established. On 6th February, the House of Representatives approved the Rape and other Related Offences Bill. The Bill is currently before the Upper House (Guurti). On 19th March 2018, the Upper House of Parliament debated the Bill. Many members criticized the Bill and stated it is contrary to the religion of Islam. Victims of rape cases continue facing legal challenges in accessing to justice in the absence of a law. On 6th February 2018, the Ministry of Religious Affairs issued a Fatwa (religious declaration) banning what it called “Pharaonic FGM” and legitimized so called “Sunna FGM.” The decision of the Ministry harms long time advocacy and awareness aimed at eradicating all forms of FGM. Somaliland needs to adopt and implement zero tolerance policy towards FGM and to legislate a law prohibiting all forms of FGM. — Guleid Ahmed Jama Director of Human Rights Centre, Hargeisa Somaliland Phone: +252634468227 Email: hrcsomaliland@gmail.com http://www.hrcsomaliland.org/

Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu is under a complete security lockdown on Wednesday morning with major roads closed ahead of the House session to debate on the impeachment motion against embattled House Speaker Mohamed Osman Jawari. Hundreds of security forces have been deployed around the parliament as the setting of the House is expected to start in the forthcoming hours. The motion which was submitted to the Parliamentary leadership last month has created sharp division among the lawmakers with the top leadership of the House at loggerheads over the impeachment motion. The negotiation effort to ease the political stand-off collapsed over the weekend leading to the First Deputy Speaker to call for a session to decide the fate of Mohamed Osman Jawari. Hiiraan Online was learned that the two opposing factions, the pro-Jawari MPs and the Proponents of the motion are gathering at the Parliament building with their agendas. The Pro-Jawari camp may try to table the Beled-Hawa border dispute issue before the impeachment motion. Mohamed Osman Jawari, the speaker of House has called today’s session to debate on the motion against him as a plan engineered by the President. Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Jawari accused President Farmajo of ‘dishonesty’ saying he has been pleading with him (Jawari) to step down, but that he refused. Jawari has previously said that he became House Speaker by the ballot, and he shall only be ousted in a legal manner. High profile events in Mogadishu are usually marked by a complete security lockdown of the city. These events – such as the Presidential election or inauguration – are usually attended by Mogadishu’s political elite and prominent foreign dignitaries. Parliamentary sessions, despite sometimes being politically charged, are usually not events that call for a security lockdown of the city. Source: Hol

UNITED NATIONS – Amid widely differing casualty figures for the Al-Shabab attack on the Ugandan AMISOM base in Somalia, Inner City Press on April 3 asked UN Spokesman Stephane Dujarric, video here, UN transcript here: Inner City Press: in Somalia, there are widely differing figures of how many of the AMISOM [African Union Mission to Somalia] peacekeepers were killed in the Al Shabaab attack. Uganda says it’s more… four. Now they say eight. Some people say 59. Given that there is this UNSOS [United Nations Support Office in Somalia] that I asked about yesterday, what is the figure? Spokesman: I don’t have, I don’t have an independent figure from our end to report. Why not? Isn’t UNSOS, about which Inner City Press has previously asked without answer, involved? We’ll have more on this. Back on January 26 after an attack on a UN compound in Mogadishu Inner City Press asked UN Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq about it, from the UN transcript: Inner City Press: There’s some reports of an attack on an UN compound in… in… in Mogadishu and the death of an international staff member from Uganda. Are you aware of that? Can you confirm it? Deputy Spokesman: No, we don’t have confirmation. We’ll try to see whether there’s anything to those reports.” This was published by the UN later in day, after the UN has sent this to Inner City Press: “In regards to your question on an attack in Mogadishu, we can confirm that a fatal shooting of a UNICEF contractor took place today in Mogadishu, Somalia early this afternoon. An investigation is underway, and UNICEF staff are safe. Our thoughts are with the family of the man who was killed.” Yes, rest in peace. But why isn’t the UN being louder about this attack, days after a UN Staff Union report about the increase of attacks on the UN? After Somali minister Abass Abdullahi Sheikh Siraj was shot and killed by the bodyguards of the country’s Auditor-General, apparently in a case of mistaken identity, Inner City Press asked the spokesman for UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, Stephane Dujarric, if Guterres or the UN had any comment. Dujarric said it seemed to be an assassination. On May 11, Inner City Press asked again, from the transcript: Inner City Press: I saw that the Secretary-General at the Somali conference describe the death as Abass Siraji as tragic and unfortunate. I asked about it at the time, and you said it seemed like an assassination. Is that no longer the view of the UN? Spokesman: I’ll… I think whatever the Secretary-General says overrides whatever I may say. That’s a rule. Inner City Press: And I just want to understand, when you say that his speech to UNA-UK was off the cuff, it seems like… I mean, it was a speech. UN News Centre reported on it, so, like, what’s the problem with releasing it? I don’t understand. Spokesman: It’s not that we’re not releasing it. It’s just no transcript’s been done. We’re going to release the video, and I think the video is as strong as the spoken word. From the earlier UN’s transcript: Inner City Press: does the UN system have a statement on the killing of Somali Government minister Abass Siraji, a 31-year-old Government minister killed by the [inaudible]? Spokesman Dujarric: We obviously condemn what appears to be an assassination of this minister and send our condolences to his family and to the Government of Somalia. Inner City Press: Are you… Because some people are saying he was shot by mistake. And I’m wondering, does the UN have any role in security…? Spokesman: I have no… a role in providing his security? No. Inner City Press: No, no, in training, in this case, the bodyguards of the auditor general. Spokesman: Not that I’m aware of. The UN Has said nothing since, five hours later. Back on January 26 when the International Monetary Fund’s deputy spokesperson William Murray took questions at the IMF’s biweekly media briefing on January 26, Inner City Press asked him about Somalia and the UN, as well as Mozambique and Ghana. Inner City Press asked: “The UN’s envoy to Somalia Michael Keating recently said in New York that the IMF is urging the government in Mogadishu to raise revenue, by means of a tax on ‘ICT’ or telecom/mobile phones. Is that accurate? Please explain the IMF’s position.” After the briefing, at which Inner City Press’ Mozambique question was answered, an IMF spokesperson provided this on Somalia: “Somalia has one of the lowest revenue to GDP ratios in the world. Increasing revenue mobilization, from a low tax base, is critical to Somalia’s economic and social development goals. To that end, the authorities and IMF staff reached an understanding on the need to collect higher nominal revenues in 2017 compared to those in 2016. The ultimate goal is to progressively restore, over time, revenue to GDP to a level comparable to peer countries. In 2017, the authorities plan to start implementing a more formal tax system, which is projected to increase tax revenues from about 1.4 percent of GDP in 2016 to 2.0 percent of GDP in 2017. A critical element of these revenue measures — based on current law which the authorities will start implementing — is revenue from the telecom sector, about $24.5 million in total in 2017. This is up from the negotiated tax of $5.0 million agreed for 2016. The projection comprises of about $12–14 million from taxes on corporate profits and $10–12 million from sales taxes. Additional revenue collection from the telecom sector could be achieved but will require significant improvements in revenue administration and tax collection, while improving security for telecom operators.”
