Embarkation of beneficiaries. Photo: UN Migration Agency (IOM) Aden – During the final days of 2017, IOM, the UN Migration Agency succeeded in completing two movements of stranded Somalis and Ethiopians out of Yemen, despite immense security challenges and difficult sea conditions. Two boats were deployed, one headed to Aden to evacuate Somali refugees, while the other went to Hudaydah to evacuate Ethiopians, who were considered especially vulnerable due to the dangers of rising violence near that port city. The 27 December operation was the 19th assisted voluntary humanitarian return conducted by IOM out of the city of Aden sea port, taking 138 Somali men, women and children home in cooperation with UNHCR. With this final movement in 2017, IOM Yemen helped a total of 2,241 Somali refugees through its sub-office in Aden. The total number of Ethiopian migrants helped return home through Hudaydah seaport via Djibouti reached 746 people during 2017. It took several attempts to move a second group, some 71 Ethiopians, all occurring within days of the Somali movement. Complications beyond the control of IOM delayed the movement until 31 December but at 4:30 PM on New Year’s Eve, an IOM boat successfully left for Djibouti. The next morning (1/01/2018), maritime authorities informed IOM that heavy waves near Djibouti would prevent the continuation of the voyage, forcing IOM’s vessel to return to international waters near Yemen. Later that afternoon, authorities informed IOM its boat could set back on its course, ending what had become a long ordeal. “It was very challenging to conduct movements out of Hudaydah seaport due to the security threats that are present in Yemen’s northern Governorates. Those require us to liaise with different counterparts and authorities as well as the coalitions,” said Hanan Hajori, of IOM Yemen’s Assistance and Protection unit in the Hudaydah sub-office. Without such permission, return assistance might not happen. In addition, due to rough seas and weather a number of movements had to be cancelled several times. “At the end, migrants in Hudaydah were taken out safely despite of all these challenges,” Hajori added. While most UN agencies deal with the challenges that come with shortages in funding, IOM Yemen’s additional concern lies in the paramount issue of the safety of migrants and refugees while they are in IOM’s care. Providing food, shelter and medical assistance are key aspects of IOM’s operations. IOM must also deal with complex security situations and volatile changes on the ground that can derail weeks of preparations in a matter of seconds. Keeping up with a heavy demand for operational efficiency as well as psychosocial efforts to lift the spirits of the people under IOM care requires working day and night to effectively help migrants so they may reach their final destination safely. “This process usually takes from five to six hours, if everything is going smoothly,” said Rabih Sarieddine, an IOM official directing the sea-borne operations. “Nevertheless, on many occasions, the movement can be delayed for hours due to security matters, such as poor coordination between the security cells on the ground and the coalition, or due to lack of resources at a port, say, where a captain isn’t available.” None of these are easy passages. Embarkation at a collection/transit centre generally starts in the early morning hours before buses can move to a port. There, beneficiaries go through security and immigration checks, after which the IOM team begins assisting beneficiaries onto their vessel. A journey from Aden to Berbera typically takes between 12 and 15 hours, depending on the sea conditions, Sarieddine explained.

The State Department has added three commanders from al Qaeda’s branches in Yemen, Somalia, and North Africa to the US government’s list of specially designated global terrorists. One of the jihadists is responsible for planning the Mar. 2015 Bardo Museum attack in Tunis, according to Foggy Bottom. Another serves as Shabaab’s deputy emir. State listed the three al Qaeda figures as Wanas al-Faqih from al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), Abukar Ali Adan from Shabaab (al Qaeda’s branch in East Africa), and Muhammad Al Ghazali from al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The three al Qaeda branches wage insurgencies in their respective regions while continuing to plot terrorist attacks elsewhere, including against Western interests. Wanas al-Faqih Al-Faqih “is an AQIM associate who planned the March 18, 2015 Bardo Museum attack in Tunis, Tunisia that killed at least 20 people,” State says. The US government’s decision to finger al-Faqih for the Bardo Museum massacre is noteworthy, as there has been some confusion concerning responsibility for the operation. The Islamic State quickly claimed responsibility for the murders. The eighth issue of the group’s Dabiq magazine provided a brief overview of the plot. Dabiq’s editors wrote that a pair of Tunisian jihadists “were sent on their mission after having trained with their brothers in Libya and having declared their bay’ah [oath of allegiance]” to Abu Bakr al Baghdadi’s self-declared caliphate. “They returned to Tunisia, bravely advanced towards the security quarter in Tunis, entered the museum – located across from the Tunisian parliament – and poured terror on the kuffār inside, killing more than 20 of them and injuring a dozen others,” Dabiq’s editors added. That same issue of the group’s propaganda rag included an interview with Boubaker al-Hakim, a veteran jihadist who was implicated in high-profile assassinations inside Tunisia. Al-Hakim praised the Bardo gunmenand called on Islamic State supporters to follow in their footsteps. In Feb. 2016, the US targeted Noureddine Chouchane, a Tunisian, in an airstrike in Libya. Chouchane was an Islamic State facilitator who shuttled fighters between North Africa and elsewhere. The Tunisian government had identified Chouchane as a suspect in the assault on Bardo Museum. However, Tunisian authorities also blamed members of the Uqba bin Nafi Battalion, a wing of AQIM, for the Bardo slayings. Al-Faqih has long had ties to the group. In Apr. 2015, for instance, al-Faqih eulogized Uqba bin Nafi Battalion leader Lokman Abu Sakhr, swearing that the Tunisian jihad would outlive Sakhr. Tunisian officials had implicated Sakhr in the Bardo killings as well. In separate messages, al-Faqih has also called for additional attacks inside Tunisia. The Islamic State poached members from AQIM and its front groups in order to swell its ranks in North Africa. So, it is possible that the Bardo Museum terrorists were initially part of AQIM and its Uqba bin Nafi Battalion, but decided to defect to Baghdadi’s cause. Abukar Ali Adan State described Adan as the “deputy leader of al-Shabaab” but provided no other details on him. Research by FDD’s Long War Journal shows that Adan fits the profile of a rising star in al Qaeda’s East African branch. Adan’s career can be traced back to Mar. 2010, when he was identified in a Reuters report as Shabaab’s “chairman” along the border with Kenya. In May of that same year, he was reported to be Shabaab’s leader for the southern city of Kismayo. At that time, Kismayo was controlled by Shabaab and was a central hub for the jihadists’ economic and military operations in southern Somalia. As the emir for Kismayo, Adan wielded significant power, which he used to recruit and expand Shabaab’s footprint. In Dec. 2011, Adan said that teachers and students were obligated to participate in Shabaab’s jihad against the government and the West. Adan continued to rise within the ranks of Shabaab’s top leadership. In July 2012, a BBC Monitoringreport identified Adan as the emir of the Lower and Middle Juba regions, the two southernmost provinces in Somalia where Shabaab’s insurgency has been anchored. He answered directly to Sheikh Godane, Shabaab’s previous emir, at the time. By 2014, Adan had entered Shabaab’s top leadership circle. According to the International Crisis Group, Adan served as the “overall Al-Shabaab military/militia head.” As the head of its military, Adan would be one of the most powerful figures within Shabaab. Traditionally, Shabaab’s military emir also serves as the group’s deputy emir. Muhammad Al Ghazali State also provided few details on Ghazali. He is described as “a senior member of AQAP who is involved in internal security and training of the group’s operatives.” As a leader within AQAP’s internal security branch, Ghazali would be involved in rooting out “spies,” as well as suppressing dissent from rival jihadist groups such as the Islamic State.

Washington (PP) ─ Madaxweyne Donald Trump ayaa sheegay in buugga laga qoray ay ku jiraan eedo dhaawacaya maamulkiisa uuna yahay “mid been ah”. Buugga waxaa diyaariyay Steve Bannon, oo ahaan jiray kaaliyihii istiraatiijiyadda Aqalka Cad, wuxuuna qeexayaa in “la kullankii koox Ruushka ka socotay oo wiilka Trump uu fadhiyay” uu ahaa “khiyaano”. Buugga wuxuu sidoo kale sharaxayaa in Trump ay amakaag iyo fajac ku noqotay in uu ku guuleystay xilka madaxweynaha. Qareennada Trump waxay ku dadaaleen in ay hor istaagaan daabacaadda buugga oo Aqalka Cad uu aad uga careysan yahay: Waxaa loogu maagacdaray Gudaha Aqalka Cad ee Trump, waxaana qoray Michael Wolff. Buugga ayaa hadda la iibinayaa. Maxaa buugga ku qoran? Buugga oo la yiraahdo Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, waxaa ku qoran arrimo aad xaasaasi u ah sida: In Bannon uu aaminsan yahay in kulan dhex maray Donald Trump Jr iyo koox Ruush ah uu ahaa “khiyaano qaran”. In kooxda Trump ay ka naxeen oo ka anfariireen guushii uu ka gaaray doorashada. In xaaskiisa, Melania, ay ilmaysay habeenkii doorashada. In Mr Trump uu ka xanaaqsanaa in xiddigaha caanka ka ah Maraykanka ay caleemasaarkiisa ka maqnaayeen. In Aqalka cad uu yahay “meel laga welwelo ama xataa laga yara baqo”. In gabadhiisa, Ivanka, ay iyada iyo ninkeeda Jared Kushner qorshaynayeen inay noqoto “marwada 1aad ee madaxweynaha”. Waxaa la sheegay in buugga uu ka kooban yahay illaa 200 oo wareysiyo, laakiin qaar ka mid ah ayaa la dhalleeceeyay waxaana la geliyay su’aal. Balse, haddii xitaa bar ka mid ah buugga uu run yahay, waxay sawir ka bixineysaa muuqaalka xun “ee nacasnimada madaxweynaha iyo Aqalka Cad oo isku qasan”, sida uu sheegay tafatiraha BBC ee Waqooyiga Amerika, Jon Sopel. Kullanka la sheegay in Ruushka lala yeeshay oo uu ka qeybgalay wiilka curadka u ah Trump, waxaa baaritaan ku haya guddi gaar ah oo uu hoggaaminayo Robert Mueller, kaas oo eegaya xiriirkii ka dhexeeyay kooxdii ololaha u qaabilsanayd Trump iyo Ruushka iyo kaalintii uu ku lahaa guushiisii madaxtinimo. Madaxweyne Trump ayaa si adag u diiday eedahaasi iyo in ay dheceen kulamo noocaas ah. Sidee looga fal-celiyay buugga? Mr Trump wuxuu sheegay in uusan Mr Wollf u ogolaan in uu Aqalka Cad gudaha ugalo, uusanna kala hadlin buugga oo uu ku tilmaamay “mid ay ka buuxaan been iyo wakiillo iyo marqaatiyo aan jirin”. Wuxuu sheegay Trump in Mr Bannon – oo shaqada laga tiray bishii August – uu “caqliga ka tagay” ka dib markii uu waayay xilkiisii Aqalka Cad. Balse Mr Bannon oo ka jawaabay eedda madaxweynaha wuxuu sheegay in uu yahay “nin wanaagsan” uuna taageeray Trump “Habeen iyo maalin”.
