The honor of Abaarso School, its Owners, its Foreign Teachers, its Muslim Students and their Parents Should not be Violated and Deserves Protection by the Somaliland Government and its People! A gentleman whose name I won’t bother to mention here, has been consistently spreading nasty rumors about the founder, the foreign teachers, and the students of Abaarso School. These accusations have been going on for some time now. They are made on the basis of some YouTube videos and pictures whereby some few girl graduates of the Abaarso School are seen not wearing proper hijab. The reason that I have felt it necessary for me to come out and speak against these nasty accusations is that I myself, because of being somehow indirectly associated with the “Abaarso” brand name, I’ve been having questions thrown at me concerning these accusations. My big disappointment is to see many of you Somalilanders not only accepting and believing these stories without bothering to check the facts, but also, not standing up against them! My guess is that the reason you believe these stories is that the person making them is using the name of Islam to make his accusations. And yet the accusations of this gentleman violate not only the honor of the founder and the foreign teachers of the school, but more so that of the Muslim students and their parents! In Islam the honor of a Muslim deserves protection and cannot be violated, especially so on the basis of what the eye sees or the ear hears through the media and electronic devices. The Shari’ah has the highest standards of verification when it comes to making accusations. Everyone, including this gentleman is subject to these Shari’ah obligations. Allah says: قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ “Qul hatu burhanakum in kuntum sadiqeen.” “Say: Give us your proof and demonstration if you speak truth!” (Q. 2:111). A video or a photo does not constitute proof in the Shari’ah, you need to bring four eye-witnesses to prove your accusations. Otherwise, the person making accusations will be lashed or flogged for libel (qazf) and sent on his way and marked as a FASIQ. Spreading fitnah, character assassination and being a false witness (Shahadat az-zur) are part of the gravest sins (Kaba’ir) in Islam, next to shirk, murder and treachery. Therefore, from an Islamic perspective, this gentleman has the obligation to produce for us four groups of witnesses to prove his accusations against the school, as follows: Witnesses from the Somaliland Ministry of Education inspectors, who always do checks on the school, Witnesses from the hundreds of parents who have enrolled their kids in this school ever since it started, telling us if they have ever noticed abnormal behavior from their kids who attend the school, Witnesses from the real, bonafide students of the school and not some dropouts, and finally Witnesses from the local community where the school is based, – concerning its impact etc. Historical Perspective The owner and faculty of Abaarso School have moved thousands of kilometers from across the world to assist our Somali and Muslim children, and on top of that the owner had had to donate a half million dollars of his own money to start the school. One would think that Somalis would embrace them for all this effort and sacrifice or at least leave them alone to do their work. Unfortunately, some unethical individuals instead have been consistently trying to undermine their efforts since the inception of the school. All kinds of hideous things continue to be said and written about them and the school, often from people who’ve never even met them and have only heard false rumors. The students of the school often go home and have people who know nothing but rumors tell them that the school is training them to be Jewish and Christian missionaries! I’ve even heard that at one time it got so bad that on one website someone wrote, “If we kill a few of them then the rest will go home.” Notwithstanding all the above, we see the huge positive impact the school is making. At this point, and in a short span of less than 10 years, Abaarso students have earned scholarships to Harvard, MIT, Amherst, Georgetown, Carnegie Melon, and numerous other great universities. Harvard is perhaps the most famous university in the world, MIT is the top engineering school, Amherst is often ranked in the top few liberal arts colleges, Georgetown top for foreign service, and Carnegie Melon best in computers. Getting accepted to these schools is quite an achievement for Somali kids growing up in Somaliland without foreign citizenships. In total, the school now has approximately 100 students continuing their education internationally, the vast majority in the US. Other countries the school’s students are studying in include Japan, China, Germany, Qatar, S. Africa, Kenya, and Costa Rica. Somalilanders must understand that Abaarso is doing a great service to their society and that those spreading these rumors are doing so for their own selfish motivations. You also need to understand that that the owner donated a half million dollars of his personal wealth, and to establish that school and get it running he had to work 90 hours each week without any pay, for nothing more than the good of the school and its students. You also need to understand that Abaarso teachers work long days and they only receive volunteer salaries. Most of all, you need to understand that Somali children are getting a world-class education, not only academically, but also in how to be good human beings. The values that Abaarso teaches are consistent with the Islamic religion and culture. Abaarso students volunteer to teach at the Hargeisa Orphanage 3 days per week and operate a school for the local children in Abaarso Village 5 days per week. Around the world, for your child to get an education like the one at Abaarso you’d need to pay fees in the region of $20,000 or more per student per year. But Abaarso school offers this education at under 10% of that cost. This is because the teachers essentially donate their time and in a way, they are the largest donors to the school, because they bring in their donation not in form of money but rather in work. Finally, many Somalis don’t know this, but Abaarso has students from every region of Somaliland as well as a number of students from Somalia. Students from Mogadishu and Puntland have been welcomed into the school and are treated with the respect they deserve. So, instead of believing these kinds of stories, we should rather be asking those who spread them what is it of great impact have they contributed to Somali society and the Ummah so far?

A new video released by Shabaab, al Qaeda’s branch in East Africa, details one of the jihadist group’s hit squads. The unit, dubbed the Muhammad bin Maslamah Battalion, appears to mainly operate within Somalia’s capital Mogadishu and in the Lower Shabelle region. The video begins by showing the unit’s training camp, which is named after two former Shabaab leaders, Muhammad Ismail Yusuf and Hassan “Turki” Abdullahi Hersi. Yusuf was a former ideologue within the group, while Hersi, who was closely tied to al Qaeda, was a senior leader of Shabaab before his death. The latter reportedly had a falling out with Shabaab’s previous emir, Mukhtar Abu Zubayr, but at the time of his death in 2015, he was reportedly still a senior member of the group. The jihadists are shown practicing assassinating targets in urban environments, as well as drive by shootings in vehicles and on motorcycles. The video then cuts to a short statement from Abu Ramla Muhammad Ahmad Roble, a killed Somali jihadist, in which he decries Somali police and government as kuffar [infidels]. Some of the unit’s assassinations within Mogadishu are then shown. It is unclear when the footage was recorded. Most of the targets are reportedly members of local governance, Somali military personnel, Somali intelligence officers, and off-duty Somali policemen. The video also shows that the battalion is also responsible for many improvised explosive devices (IEDs) directed at African Union troops, or Somali government personnel in targeted killings. While Shabaab routinely claims assassinations within Mogadishu and elsewhere, this is one of the first times the jihadist group has detailed these types of operations. According to data compiled from six months of Shabaab strikes by FDD’s Long War Journal, targeted assassinations accounted for roughly 16% of all claimed operations. The data, accounting for all of Shabaab’s attacks from October 2017 to April 2018, recorded 419 total operational claims. 67 of these were assassinations, while of those, 49 took place inside Mogadishu. Many of Shabaab’s assassinations in the capital are covered by local media. Shabaab’s videos of the targeted killings are similar to the Islamic State’s sporadic videos of similar operations within Mogadishu. The latter group appears to focus more on targeted assassinations; however, these are likely more opportunistic due to the Islamic State’s small and fractured presence inside the country as well as pressure on the group from Shabaab.

The widespread criticism of the United Nations’ organizations mainly focuses on the absence of the standard of conduct and mandatory integrity of their activities. Critics argue that the UN Organizations’ presences in volatile Africa, Asia and Latin America invent a new form of destabilization within the social structure of those societies. Another explanation explores that such misconduct results in an uncertainty of stock market failures, devaluation of currency rates and ruins the balances of economic trade between states. This is because the intergovernmental organisations’ standards of conduct and integrity are faultily managed. For example, the derived standard of conducts and manuals of the integrity of UN principles are not met, and the reason is a mystery of human error. Article 101, paragraph 3 of the UN Charter states the 5.1 of the UN Staff codes of conduct and organisational ethics of integrity. The values of the reassuring demeanours administer these codes set out in the United Nations Staff Member Regulations and other clerical issuances. The current UN and INGOs establishments disenfranchised and turned into a blind eye to the developments of Somaliland – regarding democracy, freedoms of speech, relative stability and the governance systems. I personally interpret this as the twofold phenomenon. Firstly, the lack of skills and educational shortages of Somaliland Civil Servants allowed the misconduct of the UN liaison office operations. Secondly, the failure of UN staff members to conform with onuses under the Charter of the United Nations as shown in the administrative issuances and articles of global civil servant administered by UNV Conditions of Service standard of conducts are in complete turmoil. The lack of proficiency, educational abilities and the shortage of skills of Somaliland bureaucrats will let the UN and other INGOs to manipulate the foreign policy of Somaliland. These organizations have never reported Somaliland’s proud tradition of engagement with the international community. As I have mentioned several times, United Nations Organizations singling out Somaliland by exaggerating minor incidents and/or creating fabrications for the sake of enlarging their interest oriented humanitarian projects. Currently, the UN reports prevent the global member states of the world to address both Somaliland’s problems and successes. For instance, the devastations of the Cyclone Sagar that killed more than 50 people, destroyed hundreds of shelters and displaced hundreds of thousands of people has not yet well reported. In a ways that is different from Cyclone Sagar the UN organizations politicized and exaggerated the four hours war of Tukaraq in their reports. The United Nations fact-finding missions inadequately investigated the aftermath of Sool regions. The UN reported that 150,000 people were displaced because of the four hours fighting with the 14km uninhabited land. On the contrary, the Population Estimation Survey in 2014 conducted by UNFPA stated that Sool’s total population estimate in urban areas is only 120, 993. Tukaraq is an urban area in the explanation of UNFPA Population Survey. This shows how contradictory UN reports are; while at the same time such stories lack logic shreds of evidence to support the accusations. And yet UN remains silent about atrocities in Galkayo, Kismayo, Mogadishu, Baidabo, Hiiraan and other war zone regions of Somalia. While, on the other hand, UN reports completely overlooked the democratic success of Somaliland – the peaceful power transfers, the certain freedoms of speech unlike other countries of Africa and the needs of economic development assistance. Nevertheless, my country, Somaliland informs the 193 member states of the United Nations that Somaliland is guided by the reality of self-determination of its people as an independent sovereign state. The people of Somaliland overwhelmingly decided to end the voluntary union with Somalia in 1991, which began in 1960 soon after when Somaliland gained its independence from Great Britain. Once again, the decision was endorsed enormously in a referendum by the people of Somaliland in 2001 in a percentage of 97.7%. Therefore, the governments and people of Somaliland are ready to make Somaliland the heart of regional peace, development and democracy. Again, the fundamental basis of Somaliland is peace, democracy, freedom, the rule of law and self-liberty, and we preach to all nations of the world that Somaliland will stand for those values and principles. Due to the dynamic nature of the international system and the foreign relations of the different countries of the world, we are welcoming a real newfangled collaboration between Somaliland and the international community to be further developed, bringing our higher priority of securing international recognition for Somaliland at the heart of our foreign policy.

On the dawn of May 15 and 24, 2018, the armed forces of Federal Somalia waged unexpected attacks on Somaliland Republic armed forces based at Tuka-raq, which is 65 Km within Somaliland border. Somalia’s forces attacked through the front of Puntland Administration of Federal Somalia whilst the Somaliland Republic was busy celebrating its 27th anniversary of regaining its independence from Somalia achieved on June 26, 1960. Somaliland forces repelled both attacks and inflicted heavy losses on the invading enemy forces. The land of Harti People in Sool and Eastern Sanaag is located within Somaliland British colonial borders. It is integral and inseparable part of independent Somaliland. Thus, there is no “disputed land or territories” in Somaliland as some may claim preposterously. Somaliland does not accept the idea of “disputed land in Somaliland” as any other African country would not accept to call part of its territory “disputed land”. Puntland Administration of Federal Somalia dreams to reunite Harti people, sub-clan of Darod, of Somaliland, Somalia, and Ethiopia to create Harti country in the Horn of Africa. Would the United Nations or Africa accept to create Fulani country by reuniting the Fulanis of Mali, Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon or Tuareg country by reuniting the Tuaregs of Senegal, Nigeria, Mali, and Niger? The answer is: No. likewise, Africa would never accept that the Puntland Administration of Federal Somalia reunites Hartis of Somaliland, Somalia, and Ethiopia to create a tribal crisis in the Horn of Africa. There is no country in Africa or in any other continent whose population is based on single clan or lineage as Puntland Administration of Somalia claims blindly. If the United Nations or Organization of African Union do not respect and recognize Somaliland borders, emerging from colonial borders as any other African country, then the territorial integrity of each African country would be questionable and would be at risk of dispute and continental disintegration through endless clan wars. The political map of Africa that shows its independent countries had not been made by United Nations, by African Union, or by African nations. It is the result of the European Colonial Occupation that invaded African Continent at the end of the 19th century and divided it up into territories with colonial borders for their own political sphere of influence. When leaving Africa, mainly in the 1960s, the Europeans based the independence and diplomatic recognition of all African emerging countries including Somaliland on their colonial borders inherited from the colonial powers. The borders of African independent states had been drawn by the colonial powers of Europe at the end of the 19th century, mainly during The Partition of Africa held in Berlin in 1884. Likewise, all the current borders of Asia and South America also emerged from colonial borders drawn mainly by Britain, France, and Spain and were all recognized too on their colonial borders. Somaliland is located in the Horn of Africa. It lies between the 08°00′ – 11°30′ parallel North of the Equator and between 42°30′ – 49°00′ Meridian East of Greenwich. It is bordered by the Red Sea to the North, Djibouti to the West, Ethiopia to the South, and Somalia to the East. Somaliland has a coastline with the majority lying along the Gulf of Aden (Red Sea). The country is slightly larger than England, with an area of 137, 600 km² (53,100 sq. miles) and with a population around 4 million. According to the unique history of the continent of Africa, an African country is recognized as an independent nation when it meets or fulfills the following four (4) requirements: That it is colonized separately 2. That it has its own colonial borders 3. That it had an official proclamation of independence granted by the colonizing power on specific date That it Fulfills the Montevideo Convention Requirements on the Rights and Duties of States held on December 26, 1933, which stated that the state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications: . a permanent population. . a defined country . a government . a capacity to enter into relations with the other states. Somaliland has perfectly fulfilled the four required conditions to be recognized as an independent country and that is why it was recognized on June 26, 1960, by the United Nations and many countries of the international community The borders of Somalia, Somaliland, Djibouti or any other Africa country have the same international status and legitimacy because they all had been drawn by European Colonial powers. Anyone who opposes the legitimacy of Somaliland borders, its statehood, its independence, and its diplomatic recognition is challenging the borders and sovereignty of all African independent states (54 states) whose borders also rose from their colonial borders. African borders are based on land only and not on lineage or clans. There are no clan borders or clan states in Africa or anywhere else in this world. There are only national land-based borders in Africa whose nations consist of many tribes or clans that share common borders and sovereignty. The following African clans clearly show of how same African clans are distributed over different countries. The inhabitance or residence of some African clans is as follows: Fulani Clan: This clan inhabits in Mali, Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Cameroon etc. Tuareg Clan: This clan has inhabitance in Senegal, Nigeria, Mali, Niger etc. Lunda Clan: This clan inhabits in Congo, Zambia, and Angola. Yoruba Clan: This clan has inhabitance in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo. Maasai Clan: This clan resides in Kenya, and Tanzania. Afar Clan: This clan inhabits in Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Djibouti Gabooye Clan: This clan inhabits in Somaliland, Somalia, Ethiopia Berber Clan: This clan has inhabitance in Morroco, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria. Isaaq Clan: This clan inhabits in Somaliland, Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti Awdal Clan Clan: This tribe inhabits in Somaliland, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. Mogadishu Clan Clan: This clan inhabits in Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. Darood Clan: This clan inhabits in Somalia, Somaliland, Kenya, Ethiopia Rahanwein Clan: This clan has inhabitance in Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya. Essa Clan: This clan inhabits in Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Somaliland. The internal security, stability, and peace of Africa rest on respecting, recognizing, and implementing its current borders that rose from colonial borders. If an African country would claim the clan and its land located in another African country, the continent would fall to endless devastating, bloody clan wars, violence, and anarchy. The African continent would not exist as we know it today. The peace and stability of African states depend on respecting and recognizing colonial borders. United Nations and African Union should not allow any country like Somalia or any other country to redraw African colonial borders to avoid the danger of plunging the continent into endless clan wars and anarchy. African Union and African leaders claim that if Somaliland is recognized, it will shift or change the borders of current African independent states inherited from colonial powers leading to instability and political unrest in Africa. If that claim were true, why did not the recognition of South Sudan and Eritrea change the borders of Africa and cause instability and political unrest in African continent? Senegal and Gambia founded federation or union in February 1982 calling it Senegambia. That union was dissolved in September 1989 after a disagreement and each country regained its original independence and diplomatic recognition without changing the borders of Africa. So, why denying Somaliland of regaining that independence and recognition it had before the union with Somalia? Somaliland diplomatic recognition does not need any approval from Somalia as any other African country did not need the approval of its independence and diplomatic recognition from any other African country. Somaliland is not a secessionist or breakaway region from Somalia but Somaliland just withdrew from the union with Somalia after Somalia grossly violated the union and committed injustices and atrocities in Somaliland between 1960-1991. If Nyanza Province of Kenya, or Arusha Region of Tanzania, or Puntland province of Somalia break away from their own respective countries, that would be secessionists, separatists, or breakaways and that would change or shift the colonial borders of Africa inherited from colonial powers and that would create instability and political unrest in the continent of Africa because these provinces share a history and colonial borders with their own countries. The declaration of Organization of African Unity (O.A.U) in 1964 on African Borders was the formal acceptance of the existing colonial borders inherited from colonial powers on which independence and recognition of each African country were based including Somaliland. That declaration had nothing to do with unification, federations, and unions between two or more African countries like the failed union between Somaliland and Somalia formed unthoughtfully and hastily in 1960. A union or federation could be dissolved anytime if the sides disagree each restoring and retaining its original independence and borders. That declaration reinforces the rightful claim of Somaliland to be recognized as an independent nation based on its colonial borders. That declaration does not prevent Somaliland from withdrawing from the union with Somalia and restoring its independence and diplomatic recognition achieved on June 26, 1960. If Uganda and Kenya share union today and after some time they disagree and dissolve that union, each would still be independent, recognized nation on its own colonial borders Somaliland and Somalia are not the first two countries in this world whose union dissolved or ceased to exist. The Soviet Union that had 15 Socialist Republics created by the Bolshevik Revolution led by Lenin in 1917 broke up after social upheavals and political discontent ended its existence peacefully in 1989 with new countries emerging from it such as Georgia, Ukraine, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia etc. They are all recognized by the UN and the international community on the basis of their original borders existing before the union. The Federation of former Republic of Yugoslavia that had 8 countries broke up too after bloody civil wars between 1991-1995 and new countries such as Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo etc. emerged from its ashes. All these countries are also recognized diplomatically too for their original borders existing before the federation. This shows that the unity among countries that share a union is not sacred anymore if they have a disagreement. So, Somaliland Republic deserves international diplomatic recognition based on its British colonial borders. The United Nations and Africa Union must condemn the aggression of Federal Somalia against the Somaliland Republic on May 15, 2018, to assure the stability and peace of Africa. Federal Somalia is sternly warned that peace and good neighborly relations between the Somaliland Republic and Federal Somalia will only depend on respecting and recognizing the border between Somaliland and Somalia.

LONG-time campaigner for national self-determination, Kidderminster MEP James Carver took part in Somaliland’s 27th anniversary of independence this week. He travelled to the small African nation’s capital, Hargeisa, as a guest of vice president Abdirahman Saylici where he attended a celebratory parade and had informal talks with government leaders. Mr Carver, Kidderminster-based UKIP MEP for the West Midlands, who has visited Somaliland on three previous occasions, is a staunch supporter of its bid to be internationally recognised as an independent country again. He said: “All peoples have the right to self-determination. Given the historical injustices suffered by Somalilanders, the preservation of this right is all the more important. “I have long been a supporter of Somaliland re-recognition. The massive loss of life suffered during the civil war within Somalia means that no Somalilander could ever contemplate placing the lives of his family, friends and countrymen in the hands of a potentially hostile neighbour. “For Somaliland to prosper, both economically and politically, it is imperative that the international community recognise Somaliland’s sovereignty. “It is my hope that in turn, this would lead to even greater prosperity and freedom across the Horn of Africa.” Though not internationally recognised, Somaliland has a working political system, government institutions, a police force and its own currency.

A prominent youth leader was shot dead on Thursday evening by suspected Somali militant group al-Shabab as he walked home after evening aprayers in Mogadishu, police said. A police officer confirmed on Friday that Abdiweli Ahmed Mohamed, the Chairman of the Warta Nabadda district Youth Group, was killed by two armed men who accosted him while on his way home in the central Wardhigley district of the restive Mogadishu. “The youth activist was shot dead at Iftar time (evening prayers) by unknown armed men who fled the scene after the shooting. We are investigating the incident,” said the police officer who declined to be named. No group has claimed responsibility for the latest killing amid a series of other assassination incidents that have since been reported during the holy month of Ramadan. The latest incident also comes after the militant group released a video record of some of the brutal assassinations the insurgents have carried out recently against individuals accused of working with local governments.

A week ago, the Awdal and Sahil Regions had a huge problem with the Cyclone storm and wind. I watched the media and I saw many people in both regions’ lives effected. As we know Hurricanes are massive storm systems that start over the water and go towards land, mainly in the region of Awdal Coast. Storm threats included high winds, heavy rainfall coastal and mountains flooding, heavy currents in many areas in Awdal Region. This problem is not common and local people did not expect this to happen, but it’s happened and many areas were destroyed badly including livestock, buildings, farms, etc. Cyclone storm was by no means an ordinary hurricane. After a short amount of time that few foresaw, the storm hit above regions, and the storm devastated many areas with chaos and destruction. It caused many deaths and injuries, and many people who were living in inundation zones were forced to evacuate. Moreover, the storm caused numerous homes to be lost, as well as loss of power/electricity, local hospitals, education, and transportation; it will take millions of dollars and much time to repair the extensive damage it’s an immediate necessity. This catastrophic tragedy is important to study and remember because it left many people in poor living conditions and economically damaged many areas, which was extensive and long-lasting. The importance of natural disasters and the impact of their devastating events that Somaliland society needs to remember will remind people that destruction is very real, and we as a society need to stand together and not easily forget the importance of helping others who suffer under these unavoidable conditions. The effects of physical damage to buildings were incredibly bad. The underground roads were filled with rocks and water after the flood. Many buildings were damaged, particularly Lughaya (City of Hope) and some did collapse. According to “Somaliland media.” The effects of the storm on the people of Awdal was dreadful. This tragic event caused a reported “37” deaths and the majority of them occurred in Lughaya District. As I have mentioned, the homes that families had tended to over generations were destroyed, and many other people lost their properties. The power outage affected the functioning of transportation and telecommunications, among other crucial functions. The effects of this tragedy on the environment and economy caused Awdal Region to lose millions of dollars. However, I believe this it’s time to build unity with a future plan in order to protect our people. The Somaliland government particularly Somaliland President and vice president did a great job! They both visited the tragic areas and met local communities. Mr. President and Mr. Vice President you have to make a national plan for natural disasters in order to minimize the risk for our people in the future. Many organizations including Amoud foundation responded to this catastrophic event and many local people played a tremendous role to help. Ali A. Hori, M.Ed. San Diego, CA. Ahori1@gmail.com

President Erdogan claims foreign policy issues prompted him to call snap elections, but what exactly is he up against? Istanbul, Turkey – When President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called snap elections last month, he cited foreign policy concerns as the principal reason behind his decision. Millions of Turks will head to the polls on June 24 in a vote that will transform the country, which is widely considered as the beacon of democracy and pluralism in the Muslim world, from a parliamentary system to an executive presidency. “Developments in Syria and elsewhere have made it urgent to switch to the new executive system in order to take steps for our country’s future in a stronger way,” Ergodan told reporters in Ankara last month. The vote will end the current transition phase between the two systems and will repose massive power in the hands of the new president. The incumbent, Erdogan, who is projected to win, has long made clear his desire to move from a parliamentary system to a presidential one. Along with his ruling AK Party, he argues that a new model, similar to an American or French-style executive presidency, will allow for strong decision-making. Syria tops agenda Erdogan must make tough decisions on Turkey’s various challenges on several fronts. Among the country’s pressing issues are: security threats posed by the armed group – the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK); a clash of interests with the US in northern Syria; the extradition of Fethullah Gulen – who Ankara accuses of orchestrating the 2016 coup attempt; the standstill over Turkey’s bid to join the European Union; Iran’s influences in the region; the unresolved conflict in Cyprus, as well as its souring relations with Egypt, Israel, Libya and Yemen. This plethora of challenges suggests the main driver of Turkey’s future foreign policy will be the imperatives of regional geopolitics, with the crisis in Syria topping the agenda. Turkey’s current predicament with its southern neighbour stands in stark contrast to their relationship just a decade ago. After its ascendency to power in 2002, the AK Party established a foreign policy of “zero problems with its neighbouring countries”. The flagship concept earned Erdogan a close working and even personal relationship with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and helped launch indirect negotiations between Syria and Israel. But after the advent of the Arab Spring, relations between the two began to sour. After years of supporting the opposition, Turkey failed to steer the conflict towards the trajectory it wanted. Instead, Turkish troops are now based in the Syrian regions of Afrin, Idlib and al-Bab; it hosts more than 3.5 million refugees and faces a myriad of other problems emanating from the conflict. The military deployment in Afrin, dubbed “Operation Olive Branch”, was aimed at denying YPG fighters, who Ankara sees as the Syrian branch of the outlawed PKK, a corridor in the hilly northern Syrian border. “Western powers took great steps to destabilise Syria after 2011, but Turkey has realised that this was a grave mistake and has now positioned itself differently,” Ahmet Yavuz, a retired military general told Al Jazeera. Erdogan has repeatedly slammed the US over its support for the armed group, which Washington considers a “reliable ally” in the fight against ISIL. Senior Turkish officials have threatened to extend their deployment to the Syrian town of Manbij, which is under the control of YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and have even gone as far as to warn US troops stationed there not to get in the way. “Turkey has nothing to be ashamed of following its recent military operations in northern Syria,” says Yavuz. “The AK Party has changed its course and is now working correctly to preserve the unity of Syria. “For the interests of Turkey, Syria should be kept as one indivisible whole. Unless Turkey retains that against the will of other countries who wish to divide it, the arm wrestle will still go on.” Yavuz told Al Jazeera. While it remains to be seen how Erdogan will proceed with his policies in Syria, it’s also unclear how he’ll amend ties with his traditional Western allies and NATO partners, especially after his alignment with Russia and Iran in the war-torn country. Unwavering support for Palestine Turkey’s approach towards the Palestinian cause, meanwhile, is not a diverging issue in the country’s politics. “All parties, from the far left to the far right, gather on the necessity to support the Palestinian people in their cause,” Burak Cop, an academic and parliamentary candidate for the secular CHP, told Al Jazeera. This trend is set to continue in the future. “Turkey and Israel have had their ups and downs, but as a country in the region – we have to accept that it’s there – we can’t ignore it and pretend it doesn’t exist. What we need to do is be willing to confront Israel whenever it commits gross violations of international law,” says Ibrahim Varli, a journalist with the opposition newspaper, Birgun. Fatma Benli, an Istanbul-based MP with the AK Party, says Turkey was among the first of 128 countries to oppose the US’ decision to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. “While we’re not the biggest economy around the world, we are the second-biggest when it comes to humanitarian aid,” she told Al Jazeera. “If other countries are seeing Turkey as an emerging regional player, or one that is trying to lead the Muslim world, it’s just a consequence of what we have been doing, not a role we’re trying to seek.” According to Burak Cop, “national interests [are] what should drive Turkish foreign policy in the region and elsewhere.” “In Afghanistan, Turkey traditionally played a constructive role there. Even before the AK government, Turkey was a force for helping the reconstruction and peacekeeping. Turkish troops have always been welcomed by the Afghan people. There is a friendship that can be traced back to the early Republican era,” he says. “Turkey’s actions in Somalia are represented as humanitarian relief efforts. But on a strategic plan, it serves a far-sighted strategy. Somalia is strategically placed geographically, therefore, the AK’s actions in Somalia should be seen as an investment for the future. The strait between Somalia and the Arabian Peninsula is very important for energy transfer lines.” Leading the Muslim world? Regardless of how Turkey’s moves are viewed, its economic and political expansion in Somalia, Sudan and elsewhere demonstrate how the AK Party’s policy aims to elevate the country from being a regional to a global player. Erdogan’s opponents accuse him of pursuing an ideologically driven and expansionist policy with ambitions to lead Turkey, which was once the seat of an Islamic empire, to become a Muslim power. Benli, the AK Party MP, says such accusations are baseless. “We’re not looking to lead the Muslim world, but what separates Erdogan from others is the fact that he is prepared to walk the right path whatever the consequences may be and whatever others may say.” While no one can dispute the leading role Turkey is playing in the region and elsewhere, it remains to be seen how the new executive presidency will shape and define the type of leadership it can offer.

The Ugandan government today donated foodstuff to flood-affected families in Golwayn, in Somalia’s Lower Shabelle region. The lorry-loads of assorted food consisting of rice, wheat flour, sugar, cooking oil and milk, was delivered through the Ugandan AMISOM contingent. Uganda’s Deputy Ambassador to Somalia, Maj. Gen. Nathan Mugisha flagged off the food convoy. “Uganda is not only here to do the security part only. We feel sympathetic with the people and we join the wider international community in bringing rescue to especially the displaced communities of Golwayn who have been displaced by the enemy into IDPs (camps); but now have been displaced again by the flooding River Shabelle,” Maj. Gen. Mugisha said, while handing over the donation to Golwayn elders. The food will benefit needy families who have borne the brunt of the heavy downpour. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance, the flooding has affected more than 750,000 people with more than 229,000 displaced. Communities most affected by the flooding live along the Shabelle and Jubba rivers. The flooding, caused by the unusually heavy Gu rains, has also led to fatalities and damage to infrastructure. Ambassador Mugisha called for more support from other well wishers, to the flood-affected families. Brig. Paul Lokech, the Uganda contingent commander noted that the flooding had also adversely impacted on agriculture and movement of persons. He said some of the displaced families had sought shelter and safety near the AMISOM military defences. “The areas where the people should be farming is all flooded. There is no productive activity taking place,” explained Brig. Lokech. He added, “That therefore means the next season is going to be very difficult for our people. Because if our people cannot produce this year because of the flooding, then that means next year there is going to be problems regarding food. So, we anticipate this flooding is going to have a negative impact on the agricultural production in Lower Shabelle”. Sultan Warsame Alio Ibrow, a elder and chief of Golwayn who received the food donation expressed gratitude to the Ugandan government and AMISOM for the assistance and called for more humanitarian interventions to assist affected families. “There is no area that has not been affected by the floods in areas with close proximity to River Jubba and River Shabelle. Some people who have fled from villages in Lower Shabelle including Gaburow, Bulla Sheikh, Madulow up to Janaale areas, are now squatting in Golwayn, as internally displaced,” Sultan said. The elder estimated that at least 750 displaced families from other regions, had moved to Golwayn in search of food and shelter. Source: – AMISOM

Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi was sworn in for a second term on Saturday, little more than two months after winning an election that critics have widely regarded as a sham. El-Sissi, 63, took the oath of office before a packed session of parliament, in a ceremony that was broadcast live on state television. El-Sissi was re-elected to a four-year term after winning 97 percent of the vote with voter turnout at 41 percent in a March election that featured no serious opposition. The only challenger was himself, a strident supporter of the president. Crackdown on dissent All of the serious opposition candidates abandoned their campaigns in January. The top challenger was arrested and his campaign manager beaten up. Other legitimate contenders soon withdrew from the race, citing intimidation. El-Sissi, a former intelligence chief and defense minister, led the military coup in 2013 of Egypt’s first freely elected president, Islamist Mohammed Morsi, amid widespread protests against his divisive rule. Under el-Sissi, security forces have waged a widespread crackdown on dissent, jailing thousands of Islamists as well as secular activists. Unauthorized protests have been outlawed and hundreds of websites, including those of independent media and human rights groups, have been blocked. Source: – DW

Simon Mulongo, oo ah ku xigeenka wakiilka midowga afrika u qaabilsan Soomaaliya ayaa si cad uga hor yimid Madaxda Maamul Goboleedyada isla markaasna taageeri u muujiyey dowladda dhexe. Simon Mulongo, ayaa difaacay dowlada Soomaaliya, isagoo sheegay in madaxda maamulada ay ku qaldan yihiin inay dhinac kala saftaan xiisada khaliijka. “Imaaraadka wuxuu tababaro siinayey ciidamadda Soomaaliya tan iyo 2014-tii, laakiin dowlada Soomaaliya waxay u jartay xiriirkii iskaashiga militeriga kadib murankaan, taasoo aan u wanaagsaneen dib u dhiska ciidamada qaranka,” ayuu yiri Simon. “Hadda ciidamada Soomaaliya tababaraan Turkiga, Mareykanka iyo Ingiriiska, kuwaasoo soo saaray 800 askari, iyadoo loo baahan yahay 50,000 oo askar si ay AMISOM ugala wareegay mas’uuliyadda amniga dalka,” ayuu hadalkiisa raaciyay Simon.

Madaxweynayaasha Puntland iyo Jubbaland ayaa si cad ugu sheegay saxaafada in dowladda federaalka ay la safatay Qadar, sidaas darteeda ay iyagana taageersan yihiin Imaaraadka Carabta. Dowldda dhexe iyo madaxda Maamul Goboleedyada ayaa la filayaa inay Berri Magaalada Baydhabo ku yeeshaan shirka golaha Amniga, waxaana la rajeenayaa in shirkaas ay qolo kasta kusoo bandhigi doonto tabashadeeda. Sidoo kale Waxaa dhamaadka Bishan June ka furmaya magaalada Brussels ee dalka Belgium shir looga hadlayo arrimaha Soomaaliya, waxaa ka qeyb galaya Wafdi ay hoggaaminayaan Madaxda dowladda federaalka iyo kuwa maamul goboleedyada, ka hor shirkaas waxaa shirar loogu gogol xaarayo ay ka dhici doonaan Muqdisho. Tan iyo markii uu bilowday Khilaafka dowladaha Khaliijka wuxuu saameyn xoog leh ku yeeshay dowladda Soomaaliya, iyadoo ay Imaaraadka Carabta dagaal toos ah ku bilowday dowladda dhexe iyadoo adeegsaneyso madaxda Maamul Goboleedyada.
