Tunisia’s Defense Ministry says at least 46 migrants have died after their boat sank off the country’s southern coast and 67 others were rescued by the coast guard on Sunday. The rescue operation was ongoing, the ministry said in a statement. The migrants were of Tunisian and other nationalities. In a separate incident, nine people, including six children, died Sunday after a speedboat carrying 15 refugees sank off the coast of Turkey’s southern province of Antalya, the Turkish coast guard said in a statement. Reducing the flow of migrants into Italy is one of the aims of the anti-immigrant League party in Italy and its leader Matteo Salvini, who was sworn in as the country’s new interior minister on Friday. Salvini and his party have promised to block the arrival of boat migrants from Africa and to deport up to 100,000 illegal immigrants per year. “Italy and Sicily cannot be Europe’s refugee camp,” he told a crowd of supporters in the port town of Pozzallo, a migration hotspot. “Nobody will take away my certainty that illegal immigration is a business… and seeing people make money on children who go on to die makes me furious.” Meanwhile, Spain’s maritime rescue service said it rescued 240 people, with one person apparently drowning, while trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea from North Africa. The service said it rescued the migrants from 11 small boats attempting the perilous crossing from African shores to Spain between Saturday and Sunday. The International Organization for Migration, the U.N. agency for migration, reported last week that 30,300 migrants and refugees entered Europe via sea in the first 147 days of 2018. The arrivals are at this point in 2018 less than half those seen last year and less than 15 percent of those seen in 2016 at the same point. IOM had reported 69,219 refugees had arrived from January through May in 2017 and 198,346 during the same period in 2016. IOM said 655 people have lost their lives at sea since the beginning of 2018, at least 1,000 fewer than the recorded deaths in the same period last year. Source: – VOA

The world should stand up to Washington’s bullying behavior, Iran’s foreign minister was quoted as saying on Sunday by state media in a letter to counterparts, as the top diplomat intensifies efforts to save a nuclear deal after a U.S. exit. U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out last month from the 2015 accord between Iran and world powers that lifted sanctions on Tehran in exchange for curbs to its nuclear program. The remaining signatories of the deal – France, Germany, Britain, Russia and China – still see the international accord as the best chance of stopping Tehran developing a nuclear weapon and are trying to salvage it. In a letter from Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to his counterparts last week, he asked “the remaining signatories and other trade partners” to “make up for Iran’s losses” caused by the U.S. exit, if they sought to save the deal. “The JCPOA (nuclear deal) does not belong to its signatories, so one party can reject it based on domestic policies or political differences with a former ruling administration,” Zarif was quoted as saying in the letter, parts of which were published by the state news agency IRNA on Sunday. The nuclear deal was the result of “meticulous, sensitive and balanced multilateral talks”, Zarif said, and could not be renegotiated as the United States has demanded. He said U.S. “illegal withdrawal” from the deal and its “bullying methods to bring other governments in line” with that decision have discredited the rule of law in international arena. Iran’s top leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has set out a series of conditions on for European powers if they want Tehran to stay in the nuclear deal, including steps to safeguard trade with Tehran and guarantee Iranian oil sales. The remaining parties to the nuclear deal have warned the United States that its decision to withdraw from the pact jeopardizes efforts to limit Iran’s ability to develop atomic weapons. Trump abandoned the agreement on May 8, arguing that he wanted a bigger deal that not only limited Iran’s atomic work but also reined in its support for proxies in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon and that curbed its ballistic missile program.

North Korea’s top three military officials have been removed from their posts, a senior U.S. official said on Sunday, as U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un prepare to meet on June 12 in Singapore. The U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, was commenting on a report by South Korea’s Yonhap news agency that all three of the North’s top military officials were believed to have been replaced. Trump on Friday revived the summit after cancelling it a week earlier. The United States is seeking a negotiated end to North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. U.S. officials believe there was some dissension in the military about Kim’s approaches to South Korea and the United States. The U.S. official did not identify the three military officials. Yonhap identified them as defence chief Pak Yong Sik; Ri Myong Su, chief of the Korean People’s Army’s (KPA) general staff; and Kim Jong Gak, director of the KPA’s General Political Bureau. Trump wants North Korea to “denuclearize,” meaning to get rid of its nuclear arsenal, in return for relief from economic sanctions. North Korea’s leadership is believed to regard nuclear weapons as crucial to its survival. Citing an unnamed intelligence official, Yonhap said No Kwang Chol, first vice minister of the Ministry of People’s Armed Forces, had replaced Pak Yong Sik as defence chief, while Ri Myong Su was replaced by his deputy, Ri Yong Gil. The White House, State Department, CIA and Office of the Director of National Intelligence did not immediately respond to requests for official comment. South Korea’s unification and defence ministries declined to confirm the report, while an official at the Unification Ministry said the government was watching the leadership situation in the North very closely. All of the newly promoted officials are younger than their predecessors, according to Yonhap, especially Ri Yong Gil, 63, who is 21 years younger than Ri Myong Su. “This points to two things: the consolidation of Kim Jong Un’s power as the sole leader of North Korea and strengthened cooperation between the North’s party and military as the country works towards further economic development,” said Yang Moo-jin, professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul. “They’re all young but capable people,” Yang added. Army General Kim Su Gil’s replacement of Kim Jong Gak as director of the KPA’s General Political Bureau was confirmed in a North Korean state media report last month when Kim Su Gil accompanied North Korea’s Kim Jong Un on a field guidance trip to a beach tourist zone with other officials. Lower-level U.S.-North Korean talks to prepare for the summit are continuing but have made only “halting progress,” according to a second U.S. official briefed on the discussions. That official said U.S. negotiators’ efforts to press for definitions of immediate, comprehensive, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation by North Korea had run into opposition from the White House. In a remarkable shift in tone eight days after cancelling the summit, citing Pyongyang’s “open hostility,” Trump welcomed North Korea’s former intelligence chief, Kim Yong Chol, to the White House on Friday, afterward exchanging smiles and handshakes.

Relatives of people who have disappeared mysteriously in the border town of Liboi, Garissa, have asked the government to locate their whereabouts. The residents, who claimed their loved ones were picked by people identifying themselves as police officers, also accused the government of being involved in the disappearances. They said their loved ones are yet to be traced despite numerous attempt to locate them. At least 14 people have gone missing in a span of one year. Liboi is 18km from the Kenya- Somalia border. Residents at the porous border told Nation they are caught between a rock and a hard place since they are neither safe from terror groups nor security agencies. ROADSIDE ATTACKS The town has witnessed roadside attacks targeting security officers, with assailants escaping to the neighbouring Somalia. Some of the relatives said the government should release their loved ones or charge them in court if they are suspected to have committed any criminal offence. The following are the missing persons, according to relatives: Sheikh Abdullahi Mohamed Yussuf A prominent cleric and imam of a mosque in Liboi. He is also a head teacher of madrasa in the town. According to his wife Uwah Bundid, the cleric was picked up at the mosque while waiting for breakfast with two others in a Land Cruiser by people who identified themselves as police. The two were, however, released although their mobile phones were confiscated. “He was a religious man. He has never done anything that violates the laws of this land. He had not wronged anyone. We must be told where he is and whether he is safe,” she said on Sunday. Mohamed Salat Hassan According to his father, Mr Salat Hassan, masked men broke into his son’s house, beat up his wife and ordered him to board a Land Cruiser before vanishing in the dark on May 6. He said his son’s case was unique since he was earlier kidnapped by Al-Shabab militants, who accused him and seven others of being government informers. Four of his colleagues were killed while three of them escaped. “If Al-Shabab kidnapped him and nearly killed him, how can he again be accused of being one of them? It pains me seeing his children suffer as the whereabouts of their father remain unknown,” he said amid tears. Abdullahi Murshid Iman According to Mr Murshid Iman, his son, who was a conductor in Garissa, was picked at his work station. The father of three, he said, has been missing for a year. “We believe the security agencies are behind my son’s disappearance. I want to be told whether he is alive of dead,” he said on Sunday. Also missing is Farah Yussuf, Dekow Mohamed Khalif, Noor Abdullahi, Sahal, Hussein Jamaa among others. Local leaders said the cases of mysterious disappearances hinder the fight against terrorism due to mistrust between security agencies and locals. Source: Daily Nation

Addis-Ababa (Caasimada Online) – Ra’iisul wasaaraha dalka Ethiopia Abiy Ahmed ayaa shalay sheegay in dalkiisa uu dhisanayo ciidamada badda iyo maraakiib dagaal, inkasta oo ay jirto in Ethiopia aysan lahayn wax bad ah, oo ciidamadaas ay ka howl-galaan. Dad badan oo Soomaali ah ayaa durba billaabay inay is-weydiiyaan sida dal aan bad lahayn uu ciidan bad ku yeelan karo. Is-weydiin kaliya maahee, qaarkood ayaa billaabay inay ka wallaacaan hadalka Abiy Ahmed iyo saameynta uu ku yeelan karo Soomaaliya. Baraha bulshada ee Soomaalida ku sheekeystaan sida facebook, ayaa walaaca ugu weyn ee ka taagan, waxa uu yahay in Ethiopia ay isku haleeneyso badda Soomaaliya, oo ciidankeeda halkaas ay fariisin u noqon doonto. Sanadihii dhowaa Ethiopia waxa ay si muuqata u maamuleysay maamul goboleedyada Soomaaliya, waxaana dadka qaar walaaciyey in qorshahoodu yahay in ay Soomaaliya kusii hayso marxaladdan ah maamulo badan oo is-garab ordaya, si ay taas uga faa’iideysato, una maamusho xeebaha Soomaaliya. Heshiiska dhowaan ay shirkadda DP World la gashay Somaliland ee dekedda Berbera, oo Ethiopia laga siiyey 19%, inkasta oo aysan wax shaqo ah ku lahayn, ayaa dadka qaar tusaale usoo qaateen inuu muujinayo heerka uu gaarsiisan yahay damaca Ethiopia ee xeebaha Soomaaliya. Marka laga soo tago Somalia, afarta dal ee kale ee Ethiopia xuduudda la leh ee xeebaha leh, dhammaantood waa dalal leh dowladi dhisan oo shaqeynaya oo awood leh, waana Kenya, Sudan, Jabuuti iyo Eritrea. Sidaa darteed Ethiopia kuma gardarroon karto, waxaana dal kaliya ee baylahan uu u muuqdaa Soomaaliya. Waa wax laga dhursugayo, halka ay ciidamada badda Ethiopia ee la dhisayo ka howl-galaan, hase yeeshee Soomaalida xaq ayey u leeyihiin inay ka walaacaan qorshahan.

“Death is certain. Life is uncertain.” Dhawaanahan waxa sida dhibcaha roobka oo kale ugu soo daadanayay marinka fariimaha khaaska ah la isugu diro Facebook ee Maseenjarka fariin muuqaaleed cinwaan looga dhigay “Xamar ma saanaa u dambeysay.” Fariintu ayaa muujineysay dilal qiyaastii toboneeyo ka yar oo laga fuliyay Muqdisho iyo nawaaxigeeda. Muuqaalkan, kaliya ula jeedada ugu weyn ee laga lahaa waxay u muuqaneysay cabsi-gelin iyo barabogaan loo sameynayo qolyaha kasoo horjeeda nolosha iyo jiritaanka ummadda Soomaaliyeed. Lama yaabin cidda muuqaalkaas sameysay iyo ula jeedka ay ka lahayd, balse weli waxaaan la fajac sanahay qaar badan oo dadkeena kamid ah oo muuqaal ahaan u eg akhyaar waxbartay (Diini & Maaddi), markay fariimaha noocaasa oo kale luuqa kuugu soo diraan mar iyo labo jeer ka badan si ay adigoo isgoyska Carwa’idka, Cali kamiin Bakaaraha lugeynaya kuu cabsi geliyaan, si toosana ay uga qeyb qaataan dacaayadda iyo cabsi-gelinta ka dhanka ah nolosha shacbiga Muqdisho. Xikmad baa oraneysa “Death is certain. Life is uncertain” oo micnaheedu yahay “Geeridu waa mid la hubo. Noloshuse wa mid aan la hubin” waa meesha aynu ka niraahno geeridu waa lama huraan. Waxaa hubaal ah in caalamka uusan ka jirin dal aan lagu dhiman ama aan dad lagu khaarajin. Tusaale ahaan, Mareykanka oo lagu sheego quwadda 1-aad ee caalamka milateri ahaan, dhaqaale ahaan iyo wax soo saar ahaanba, bal aynu hoos ka eegno waxa sanad walba ka dhaca: Sida ku cad “Gun Violence Archive” oo ah jamciyad madaxbanaan oo diiwaan-gelisa qalalaasaha ka dhasha hubka gudaha Mareykanka waxa uu tibaaxayaa in cel-celis ahaan bil walba Mareykanka lagu toogto 1,200-1,500 ruux. 2017 waxa lagu dilay 15,619; 2016 waxa lagu dilay 15,098, halka sanadkan 2018 ee shanta bilood kaliya ayna dhaaftay dhimashadu ay caga-cageynayso 13,532 ruux. Labo sano iyo shanti bilood ee na dhaaftay waxa Mareykanka toogasho lagu khaarajiyay dad gaaraya 44,300 ruux (Afartan iyo Afar kun iyo saddex boqol oo ruux). Sidoo kale, arinta uurku taalada weyn leh ayaa ah in dadka la laayo tiro badan oo kamid ah ay caruur ama dhalinyaro yihiin. Sanadkan 2018 kaliya waxa toogasho lagu dilay 695 caruur ah oo da’doodu u dhaxeyso (0-11) iyo sidoo kale dhalinyaro gaaraysa 2,695 oo ay da’doodu u dhaxeyso (12-17) sano. Dhinaca kale, Gobolka Minnesota oo ah gobolka ay nool yihiin Soomaalida ugu badan ee joogta Mareykanka waxaa intii u dhaxeysay 2014-2018 ka dhacay ku dhawaad 3,000 oo dhacdo oo lagu khaarajiyay dad gaaraya 2,782 ruux oo ay 19 kamida yihiin caruur, halka 92 kalena ay ahaayeen dhalinyaro da’doodu u dhaxeyso (12-17) sano. Dabcan dadka ugu badan ee fariimahan ii soo diray aniga khaasatan waxay u badnaayeen qurba-joog dalka dibadda uga maqan ama joogta oo cabsi ku nool. Inkastoo aan aamminsanahay in taxaddarka iyo ilaalinta naftu ay tahay masuuliyad weyn oo ruuxa muslimka ah saaran, haddana waa in qof walba oo inaga mid ah uu qalbigiisa ku qoraa in naftan uu Allaah ina geliyay, wakhtiga u naga qaadayo iyo qaabka uu nooga qaadayana Ilaahay kaliya unbaa og; “Naf waliba wey dhadhamin geerida, Quraan 3:185.” Inaad ka cabsato geerida waxay ka dhigan tahay dabacsanaanta Iimaanka. Haka cabsan geerida ee ka cabso inuusan Allaah kulmin gefkaaga iyo geeridaada. Ugu dambeyntii Soomaaliya waa halka uu ilaahay caalamkan nooga beeray, waana dhulka ay 85-90% weli dadkeenu ay ku nool yihiin ama ay xiriir nololeed oo toosa la leeyihiin, intaad faafin lahayd xummaanta dalkaaga ama aad far ku godi lahayd amnigiisa, noloshiisa, horumarkiisa iyo mustaqbalkiisa, fadlan wanaagiisa iyo quruxdiisa ka shaqee. Xasuusnoow in Xamar 30kii sano ee lasoo dhaafay dagaal fool-ka-fool ah, qarax, dilal-qorsheysan, iyo shirqoollo kaleba loogu dhimanayay ama loogu barakacayay welina khatartii iyo cabsidii soo jireenka ahayd shacbigu wey la nool yihiin. Siyaasiyiinta iyo madaxda wey yimaadaan, weyna baxaan, balse Soomaaliya wey jiraysaa oo iyadaa na hurran. W/Q Abdiqafaar Shire

Saad Ali Shire (PhD) was appointed as Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Somaliland in October 2015. Prior to his appointment he was the Minister of National Planning and Development for five years from 2012 to 2015. During his tenure as minister of national planning, he served in many committees including the National Planning Commission, the Somaliland Development Fund Joint Steering Committee, Somaliland Business Fund Grant Advisory Panel, Civil Service Reform Committee, Public Finance Reform Committee, Budget Policy Committee, Private Sector Reform Committee, Land Policy Reform Committee, Berbera Port/Corridor Development Committee. Prior to joining the public sector, Shire was the Managing Director of UK and Europe Dahabshiil Transfer Services Limited, a money transfer service company. Before that, he held senior positions in the community development sector, lectured at the college of Agriculture of Somali National University and worked for the UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the World Bank. Shire is an economist and an agronomist. He studied agriculture at both Havana University, Cuba, and Somali National University where he earned his bachelor’s degree. He subsequently went to Pennsylvania State University in the US, where he did his master’s and PhD degrees in Agricultural Economics. He also has a post graduate diploma in Islamic Banking, and is an IMC member of the Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA) Society of UK. On the 27th anniversary of Somaliland’s reclaimed independence from Somalia, Birhanu Fikade of The Reporter sat down with Shire for a brief interview in Hargeisa. Excerpts: The Reporter: On Somaliland’s 27th year Independence Day celebrations, what are the milestones that you can say were achieved since reclaiming your autonomy? Saad Ali Shire (PhD): It feels great to celebrate the 27th anniversary of Somaliland’s independence from Somalia. By the way, Somalia and Somaliland were two different sovereign countries [even before the British and Italians]. Somaliland was under the British protectorate while Somalia was under the Italian trusteeship. In 1960, at the time when there were a lot of anti-colonial sentiment and movements across Africa, the dream of bringing the Somali inhabited regions in the Horn of Africa together was born. By the time, we wanted to unite the French Somaliland, now Djibouti, the Ogaden Region in Ethiopia and part of the North Distance Frontier (NFD) in Kenya. In that emotion, we rushed into realizing a unity with Somalia. Unfortunately, right from the start, the union didn’t work as expected. So was it a voluntary union? Yes, it was a voluntary unity. We had our people votes on the matter and drafted a union constitution in 1961. The process was organized by then young military officers of Somaliland. But, it was not successful either; and hence a movement or a process of reclaiming our independence was started. Early in the 1980s, there was a resistance movement to liberate Somaliland from the tyranny of the Siad Barre and his regime. That went on for ten years, from 1981 to 1991, during which time Somaliland has faced great destructions. The capital Hargeisa was destroyed and leveled to the ground. So since 1991, we have been rebuilding; and everything you could see in Hargeisa today is an outcome of this reconstruction. Over the years, we were not only able to rebuild the physical assets of our country but also developed our social services. For instance, in 1991, there were no schools in Somaliland but today we have 1000 schools across the country. We hardly have any clinic 27 years ago, but today we have health posts almost in every district. We also have 10 universities at moment but we didn’t have one at that time. Every year, we have close to 6000 students graduating from universities. I think we came a long way since 1991 and it feels great to celebrate our independence day with such outcomes. Apart from democracy, stability and peace what most people talk about in Somaliland is international recognition. But why did the international community fail to recognize your country for 27 years? I think we have historical, legal, political and humanitarian rights to be recognized. Somaliland is not the first country that dissolved a union. Many African countries have done it before. For instance, Senegal and Gambia were together at one point. The Fresh Sudan and Senegal were in union before. You have Ethiopia and Eretria, Egypt and Syria, the Sudan and South Sudan were also together as one country. There are so many examples that we could cite which dissolved their unities voluntarily. It’s nothing new what Somaliland is trying to do. We have fulfilled all the conditions of a sovereign state; we fit all the criteria. But, it is a valid question to ask why the international community is not recognizing Somaliland. That is in fact a question for the international community. I think there are two reasons for not recognizing us as a nation. One is fear and the other one is ignorance. When we say fear, I think there are a lot people who fear that this process might create what they call a Pandora’s Box. It is a fear that other countries in the region or beyond might emulate and this might lead to more countries spliting. I think that has been proven not to be the case. The AU Commission which came to Somalia in 2005, said in its reports that the case of Somaliland is unique and that “there is nothing like it”. Hence, there is no reason to fear that this will create a Pandora’s Box. There is no country with the same history as ours. The other reason that hindered our recognition is ignorance to the situation we are in and our historical background. Many people try to mix-up Somaliland and Somalia. They just think that Somaliland is a relegated region that wants to secede from a country: Somalia. That is not the case. Is it because Somalia is claiming Somaliland to be part of its territory? Are they saying that? At any rate, it is a misleading claim because we were two nations that had voluntarily joined and now trying to voluntarily dissolve the union on equal settings. There is no reason they should claim that. The people of Somaliland have made up their minds. They have said enough is enough. We don’t want to be part of Somalia because we had suffered a lot. Hence, why do we want to tolerate and prolong our suffering anymore when we can have our own independence? It is feared that your bid to be recognized as an independent nation might be at stake following the recent Berbera Port development project to which the UAE and Ethiopia are stakeholders. We have heard objections from Somalia. They called for the annulment of the port agreement. What is the reaction of your government to that position? Is that going to put Somaliland in a more precarious situation? I think, this claim is wrong in two ways. Back in 2014, at a meeting held in Djibouti, between then Presidents of Somaliland and Somalia, the two nations has agreed not to politicize development projects in the two countries. The port development project is a development project. It’s also wrong because Somalia has no business in Somaliland; just as we have no business running in Somalia. We are two different separate countries. By the way, this is not the first economic accord that the two nations have signed. We have signed many business deals in the past. We have entered into treaties. We have agreed and signed Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) with many countries and companies before. There’s really nothing new. They have never made a fuse about agreements we made with any other country before. We understand why they are making such claims regarding the deal we have sealed with Ethiopia and the UAE. We believe they are making such claims because of Ethiopia. They might not be comfortable with the inclusion of Ethiopia in the project. That is the same reason why Somaliland wants to be recognized because it is the guarantor of peace. We don’t want to go back to the crisis we had in 1964 or in 1977. The government of Somalia might still be clinging to the idea of creating the Greater Somalia. So, we say, the only guarantor of peace and stability in the region is the recognition of Somaliland. Was there any discussion among Somaliland, Somalia, UAE and Ethiopia following the statements made by Somalia regarding the port development project? The agreement among UAE, Ethiopia and Somaliland remains intact. It is not affected by the position taken by the government of Somalia. They can say whatever they wanted to say; but we remain committed and make progress on our agreement. It is unlikely to remain at peace and stability for 27 years in a region that is hostile and fragile. But, you have done that; so how did you manage to be at peace when other neighbors aren’t? The difference between Somaliland and Somalia begins with the routes we took soon after the collapse of the government of Somalia. We have taken two divergent routes. Our route started with reconciliation. We had a serious of seven meetings on reconciliation process. After we had the reconciliation we started building a transitional government which then transformed into a democratic state through inclusive democratic systems of governance which is in place today. We had demobilized the militias. I think these are the main differences between Somalia and Somaliland. They haven’t had any reconciliation yet. There are a lot of people who are aggrieved and they still feel that justice hasn’t been done there. They haven’t demobilized the militia. They don’t have an inclusive government yet. We have conducted six elections all monitored by the international community. We have been able to stage “free and fair elections” as observers have declared. But, Somalia didn’t have one like that. I think Somaliland is a product of the people of Somaliland. There are no foreign troops here. We don’t have AMISOM and the reconciliation process was successfully held without the interventions of foreign parties. The UN was not involved. It was in indigenous process. As a matter of fact, I think that has saved us. It is said that the UN has offered to help. But, the elders had refused to accept. They said once you have accepted some sort of help or money, then someone will start to dictate your destiny. Hence, to be free and do what you wish to do right, you don’t have to be bound by someone else’s favor. That’s the philosophy they have back then; and that is how it worked to build democracy in our country. The Reporter
