In a surprise move, Ethiopia’s prime minister has announced the release of political prisoners and the closure of a notorious detention centre, allegedly used as a torture chamber. Hailemariam Desalegn told a press conference the move was designed to allow political dialogue. But it is unclear exactly who will be released – or when it will take place. Ethiopia, a staunch ally of the West, is accused by rights groups of using mass arrests to stifle opposition. Amnesty International welcomed Mr Hailemariam’s announcement, saying it could signal “the end of an era of bloody repression in Ethiopia” – although warned the closure of Maekelawi detention centre should not be used to “whitewash” the “horrifying” events which took place under its roof. Who are the political prisoners? Those held in jails across the country include opposition activists from the Amhara and Oromia regions, which were at the centre of anti-government protests in 2015 and 2016, as well as the Southern Nations and Nationalities Peoples Region, and journalists who have criticised the government, says BBC Ethiopia correspondent Emmanuel Igunza. The prisoners also include UK citizen Andargachew Tsege, who was seized in 2014 when changing planes in Yemen and forced to go to Ethiopia, where he had been sentenced to death in absentia for his political activities against the state. It is difficult to know exactly how many “political prisoners” there are, but our correspondent estimates there are about 1,000 held under the country’s anti-terrorism proclamation, including high profile leaders from the opposition. However, there are another 5,000 cases still pending, made up of those arrested after a state of emergency was declared in October 2016, he adds. Will they actually be released? The government has given no timeline on the release of the prisoners – including those still awaiting trial – or explained exactly who is considered “political” and who is not. Our reporter notes a number of cases have political backgrounds, but are also linked to groups the government considers to be terrorists. Nineteen people linked to Ginbot 7 – deemed a terror group – were sentenced to prison terms just this week. Whether they will all be released remains to be seen. Any dialogue would have to include legitimate opposition groups like the Oromo Federalist Congress, whose leaders would have to be freed to fully participate in the process, our correspondent says. What about the detention centre? As well as releasing the prisoners, Mr Hailemariam announced the closure of Maekelawi – a detention facility in the capital, Addis Ababa, which Amnesty International described as a “torture chamber used by the Ethiopian authorities to brutally interrogate anybody who dares to dissent, including peaceful protesters, journalists and opposition figures”. “A new chapter for human rights will only be possible if all allegations of torture and other ill-treatment are effectively investigated and those responsible brought to justice,” Amnesty International added. The government strongly denies the torture allegations, but it has now decided the prison will become a “modern museum” – a move the privately-owned Addis Standard newspaper called for in an editorial in 2016. A new detention centre will be opened, Mr Hailemariam said, which would comply with international standards. Why now? Our correspondent says the detention of political prisoners has always been a major concern. In December, social media users staged a day of action to remember those held behind bars. But this decision comes hot on the heels of a meeting between the parties which make up the ruling Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) coalition. Over the past months, infighting within the coalition, which has been in power for more than 25 years, has led the prime minister to acknowledge the need for change. The Oromo Peoples’ Democratic Organization and the Amhara National Democratic Movement, which are part of the coalition, have been pushing for increased political space and the “respect of their people” following the massive anti-government demonstrations that have been witnessed in the country. Who is Hailemariam Desalegn? A trained engineer, Mr Hailemariam took the reins of power in 2012, after the death of Meles Zenawi, who had ruled since 1991. However, while the former deputy prime minister was a close ally of Mr Meles, he struggled to gain approval of the other EPRDF leaders in order to assume his new role. He is not known for tolerating dissent well, despite statements to the contrary, his critics say. In 2016, he blamed “anti-peace forces” for the violence in the Oromia region, a year after he told the BBC that bloggers and reporters arrested were not real journalists and had terror links.

Aden Abdiraman Warsama, a Somali refugee who has been living at the Dadaab camp in Garissa County in northeastern Kenya since 2008, is optimistic about returning home. We met him on December 19 at the county airstrip with his wife and three children waiting to be flown to the port city of Kismayu under a voluntary repatriation programme. The media had accompanied the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi to the Dadaab refugee complex. Mr Warsama was among some 20 families and 80 individuals being airlifted to Somalia. Voluntary repatriation “I need my country,” he said of Somalia, which has suffered two decades of civil war that has brought the country to its knees. While Mr Warsama felt Somalia was stable enough for him to return, he still appealed to the international community to help the government to provide basic amenities such as security and shelter as well as a source of income. The voluntary repatriation programme was launched in December 2014 after the Kenyan government threatened to close the Dadaab camp that has been in existence for 26 years. Since then some 71,792 of 369,656 Somali refugees have returned to their homes. This year alone, 32,478 returned to their homes mainly in Kismayu, Mogadishu and Baidoa, that are considered safe. Another 4,949 non-Somalis have been relocated to Kakuma Refugee Camp in Turkana County that mainly houses South Sudanese refugees. The Kambioos camp in Dadaab that used to hold over 19,000 refugees has been closed. It was one of five camps that made up the Daadab refugee complex. The remaining are Dagahaley, Hagadera, Ifo and Ifo II. However, not all the remaining refugees are enthusiastic about returning home, citing insecurity, lack of infrastructure, health and educational facilities. Returnees About 400 Somalia refugees, who had signed up for voluntary repatriation have returned to Dadaab, posing a challenge to the UNHCR on how to help them because they had surrendered their refugee status and are not entitled to ratios. Particularly, those who were born in Kenya are not even considering the option of returning, because they have no links with Somalia. Among them is 23-year-old Ayan Abdullahi Osman who is now married with four children. Ms Osman, a housewife, stays with her family at Ifo 1 camp. “If the camp is closed, it is up to the UNHCR to transfer me to another country because I have no links with Somalia, and it is not safe,” she said. Sirat Mohammed, a 51-year-old mother of two from Afmadou, whose son Anas Hassan Abdullahi is disabled, rules out any possibility of returning to Somalia, and would rather the government and UNHCR relocate her to another camp. Equally Osman Noor Hussein, an 18-year old orphan, who sat for his Kenya Certificate of Primary Education national exams in November at Ali Hulheab Academy in Garissa Township, is instead looking for sponsorship to enable him join secondary school. He has been living with an aunt ever since his parents died in 2002. Donor support Those who opt to return receive counselling and briefing for two weeks to ascertain that their return is voluntary. “We also allow them to consult with family and relatives in case they want to change their minds,” said James Taban, the repatriation officer. Once cleared, the returnees receive a cash grant of $200 and a World Food Programme card lasting six months. The package also includes $25 per month for education for the same duration, while those with special needs receive additional $30. Mr Grandi expressed concerns over diminishing donor support saying that it is difficult to mobilise resources despite the continent hosting many refugees. He said the UNHCR has asked for support for 40,000 new settlements but only resources for 13,000 settlements are available. “We appeal to the international community not to give up on Dadaab. We have also held discussions with the Kenyan government to help rehabilitate the infrastructure which is shared with the local community,” he said.

Muqdisho (Caasimadda Online) – Bandhigga wax-qabadka Wasaaradda Maaliyadda oo lagu qabtay magaalada Muqdisho ayaa waxaa ka qeyb galay masuuliyiin si dhaw ula socday hannaanka Maaliyadda dalka. Masuuliyiintaas ayaa ka aragti dhiibtay habka loo maareeyey maaliyadeed Soomaaliya sanadkii tagay, caqabadaha ku xeeran iyo sababaha dib u soo nooleeyey ee sida weyn ay u amaaneen beesha caalmka. Khubarada iyo Masuuliyiinta ku xeel dheer dhaqaalaha Soomaaliya ayaa tilmaamay labo sababood oo horseeday guulaha maaliyadeed ee la gaaray sanadkii 2017kii kuwaas oo kala ah: 1- In Madaxda Qaranka ay dadaal dheer ku bixiyeen hir gelinta miisaaniyad hufan oo dhammaystiran iyagoona u madax baneeyey maamulka iyo maareynta dhaqaalaha Wasaaradda Maaliyadda taas oo meesha ka saartay lacago si khaldan loo maareyn jiray. 2- Wasaaradda Maaliyadda oo warbixino joogta ah u soo gudbin jirtay laamaha iyo hay’adaha ay shaqo wadaagta yihiin sida Baarlamaanka DFS, Bangiga dhexe, Hay’adda Lacagaha Aduunka IMF iyo Bangiga Adduunka.

Sidoo kale, masuuliyiin badan ayaa ku ammaanay Wasaaradda Maaliyadda xiriirka wanaagsan iyo wada shaqeynta dhow ee ay la yeelatay dolwad Goboleedyada dalka taas oo horseeday in dhidibada loo taago hannaan Maaliyadeed oo ka tarjumaya baahida iyo awoodda dhaqaale ee dalka.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn in his office in Addis Ababa, the capital. (Michael Tewelde / Associated Press) One cellblock in the Ma’ekelawi prison in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, is known as the Dark House. Its chilly, dank cells are underground, including fourpitch-black cells too narrow for inmates to sit or stretch their arms or legs. It has a second nickname: Siberia. Ma’ekelawi is one of Ethiopia’s most notorious prisons, where dissidents, journalists, bloggers and protesters have been held for speaking out. According to a 2013 Human Rights Watch report, political prisoners and others have been tortured in Ma’ekelawi through beatings, prolonged stress positions and exposure to severe cold. The government has always denied the allegations. But on Wednesday, Ethiopia’s prime minister, Hailemariam Desalegn, stunned local activists and international human rights observers when he announced that the government would release all political prisoners and turn the Ma’ekelawi prison into a museum. Desalegn’s announcement was momentous because it marked the first time the government has admitted to holding political prisoners, often referring to them as criminals or terrorists in the past. It seemed too good to be true, and many immediately doubted how sweeping the reform may turn out to be. “I didn’t believe it at first,” said Felix Horne, a Human Rights Watch expert on Ethiopia. “For many, Ma’ekelawi is a symbol of the abusive nature of the security forces. It’s hard to imagine a museum that could take place that would not be a propaganda effort against the previous government.” Ethiopia’s government already has established another museum in Addis Ababa — the Red Terror Martyrs Museum — which exposes the horrors of the torture carried out in 17 years of the communist Derg administration before it was overthrown in 1991, giving way to the current government. The museum’s slogan: “Never ever again.” Rights groups have been exposing the torture of political prisoners in Ma’ekelawi and other Ethiopian prisons since the 1990s. Desalegn said the measure was designed to create a space for national dialogue and consensus, according to the Addis Standard magazine. “Politicians currently under prosecution and those previously sentenced will either have their cases annulled or be pardoned,” Desalegn said at a news conference. He said another detention center would be built to parliament’s human rights guidelines and international standards. But the prime minister offered no time frame nor any indication of how many would be released. And he left open a major question: Will the new leniency encompass only a handful of prominent jailed politicians, such as opposition leaders Bekele Gerba and Merera Gudina, or the many thousands arrested for exercising their political views or doing their jobs? Like many, Horne suspects that change, when it comes, will be limited. “Looking at their past behavior, it seems that it will likely not be as broad as people think it should be,” he said. “What needs to happen is that torture across the country needs to stop and the government needs to make a clear announcement that it will hold security officials responsible for abuses.” One prominent activist, Blena Sahilu, questioned in a tweet how serious the government’s announcement was. Almost as soon as the announcement was made, there were reports in Ethiopia that the prime minister’s office had begun to retreat on its admission that there were political prisoners in its jails. The government of Ethiopia is a closed, opaque and authoritarian organization, which jails and harasses local journalists and bloggers and denies foreign journalists access to report on protests that have wracked the country in recent years or on a severe hunger emergencycaused by the worst drought in half a century. According to Human Rights Watch, Ethiopia uses spyware and malware to monitor and hack Ethiopian activists and critics abroad. It reports that security agents pursue and abduct opposition figures who flee to neighboring countries, taking them back to Ethiopia to be jailed. The government does not tolerate demonstrations. Security forces killed at least 800 protesters in 2015 and 2016, according to Amnesty International. The protests were initially sparked in 2015 by the expansion of a municipal boundary in the Oromia region, the nation’s largest, with farmers afraid they would be forced off their land. But thousands later took part in protests against the government. According to Amnesty International, authorities used torture and arbitrary arrests to crush the protests, with more than 11,000 demonstrators arrested and detained. The heavy-handed actions led to tensions in the governing Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front coalition, which might explain the timing of the move to release prisoners. Ethiopia has also been under intense international pressure to do so. Then-U.S. President Obama was criticized by some for visiting Ethiopia in 2015, given its poor record on human rights. However the nation is a staunch U.S. ally in the counter-terrorism battle in the Horn of Africa. Ethiopia released five jailed journalists and bloggers just weeks before Obama arrived. But thousands more dissidents would later be arrested. The Addis Standard, an independent local magazine, called for the closure of the Ma’ekelawi prison in a June 2016 editorial, saying: “It is, by any definition, a state-run ‘Torture Chamber’ built by an extinct repressive government but preserved and run by a government which proclaims itself ‘democratic.’” The editorial added that the prison was, above all, “a symbol of a regime that acts contrary to the values, principles, and rules of the constitution it championed.” Some former prisoners cited in the 2013 Human Rights Watch report recalled being suspended from their wrists with their toes barely reaching the ground, or being bent with their hands tied to their feet. Some were beaten on the soles of their feet or doused with cold water and whipped. Many political prisoners were arrested under Ethiopia’s 2009 Anti-Terrorism Proclamation, used to stifle dissent and to hold them for extended periods without trial. Amnesty International spokesman Fisseha Tekle said the release of political prisoners was long overdue and called on the government to move swiftly. “Today’s announcement could signal the end of an era of bloody repression in Ethiopia. For prisoners who have spent years incarcerated on politically motivated and trumped-up charges, this is long overdue. “Most have been detained solely for peacefully exercising their human rights, and should never have been in jail in the first place. We are calling on the Ethiopian authorities to implement today’s decision as quickly as possible by immediately and unconditionally releasing them.” Los Angles Times

The Somalia-based al-Shabab extremist group says it has executed five men accused of spying for the Kenyan, Ethiopian and Somali governments. Al-Shabab announced the killings on its Andalus radio station, saying they were carried out in a public square in Kuntuwarey town in Lower Shabelle region late Tuesday. Witnesses say the men were tied to poles and shot dead by masked gunmen after a self-proclaimed judge read out their verdict in front of a crowd at the execution ground. Al-Shabab, al-Qaida’s East African affiliate, has fought for years to impose a strict version of Islam in the Horn of Africa nation. Despite losing territory in recent years, the group continues to carry out lethal attacks in many parts of the country, especially Mogadishu. An October bombing there killed 512 people. AP

Wegener was the mastermind behind the creation of Germany’s elite anti-terror unit GSG-9. He became a household name in West Germany after his leadership during a celebrated 1977 rescue operation. Ulrich Wegener, the architect of Germany’s elite anti-terror unit, the GSG-9, and widely known as the “hero of Mogadishu,” has died aged 88. Wegener died December 28, German daily Bild said Wednesday. Germany’s interior ministry later confirmed the report. The former brigadier general of West Germany’s border police was “an outstanding police offer who accomplished so much for Germany’s security,” Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière said. “We will retain honorable memories of him.” Events of ‘German Autumn’ remembered 40 years on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fun4dL601T0 Saving lives in Somalia Wegener became a household name after he led a successful GSG-9 mission to free over 90 hostages from the hijacked Lufthansa airplane “Landshut” in the Somali capital of Mogadishu in October 1977. Four Palestinians had hijacked the aircraft and demanded the release of 11 imprisoned members of the Red Army Faction (RAF), a notorious left-wing German terrorist group, in exchange for the hostages. GSG-9 officers stormed the plane, killing three of the hijackers and freeing all 91 passengers without injury. Three RAF prisoners — Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin und Jan-Carl Raspe — commited suicide after the hostages were freed. For his leadership, Wegener quickly became known as the “hero of Mogadishu.” Learning from the past The Mogadishu operation was the culmination of Wegener’s efforts to create Germany’s first elite anti-terror troop. Wegener had received the order to create the unit following the deaths of nine Israeli Olympic athletes during the 1972 Munich Olympics. Palestinian terrorists had taken the athletes hostage and transported them to a nearby military airport in Fürstenfeldbruck. During the police rescue operation, all nine hostages and a German police officer were killed. The fiasco convinced German authorities of the need to establish an elite group of police officers trained and equipped to combat terrorists and prevent future tragedies. LANDSHUT RETURNS TO GERMANY 40 YEARS AFTER HIJACKING A long-awaited return to Germany The years haven’t been kind to the Landshut, perhaps the most famous Boeing 737-200 in Germany’s history. It is currently rusting away at a “cemetery” for airplanes at the Fortaleza International Airport in Brazil. But now officials want to take the plane apart, transport the pieces to Germany and restore it at the Dornier Museum, close to Lake Constance. LANDSHUT RETURNS TO GERMANY 40 YEARS AFTER HIJACKING The RAF and the German Autumn The Landshut became famous in 1977’s German Autumn: the weeks during which the country was shaken by several terrorist acts committed by the Red Army Faction and allied groups. Four militants from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine hijacked the Lufthansa plane to blackmail the German government into releasing prominent RAF members from prison. ‘We did the work together’ Wegener remained with German police until 1988 when he left to help train Saudi Arabia’s “Special Security Forces.” In a recent interview, the former policeman said “he was happy that we [the GSG-9] were able to show what we could do” during the 1977 Mogadishu operation. “We had trained for such an operation for years at German airports.” Wegener however never warmed to his popular title, according to German news outlet Die Welt/N24, saying recently: “we did the work together.” amp/rc (AFP, dpa)

US forces interdicted a Shabaab car bomb intended for Somalia’s capital. This marks the third time the United States has conducted a strike in order to prevent an imminent car bomb attack on the capital in the past month. It is also the first publicized US counterterrorism strike in 2018. In the early hours of Jan. 2, US forces hit the vehicle approximately 50 km west of Mogadishu. The assault killed two Shabaab fighters and destroyed the vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED), or suicide car bomb, which was intended for Somalia’s capital, according to the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) press release. Shabaab is al Qaeda’s branch in East Africa and Somalia. It has maintained a persistent insurgency and has controlled territory in both southern and central Somalia for well over a decade. Shabaab uses its safe havens in Somalia to attack the fledgeling Somali government and neighboring countries. It has also plotted attacks against the West. The US military launched a record 35 counterterrorism strikes in Somalia in 2017, outpacing the combined strikes of the entire previous air campaign, which began in 2007. The rise can be partly explained by loosened restrictions. In Mar. 2017, President Trump signed off on greater authorities in Somalia based on heightened threat assessments from the Departments of Defense and State. Data on US counterterrorism strikes in Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, and Libya is regularly updated on the US strikes page.
