So far, SEK 200 million ($24 million) has been transferred abroad using the Transfer Galaxy service, but soon it could be a matter of billions. The team at the transfer galaxy. From the left: Khalid Qassim, CEO Yosef Mohamed, Mustafa Ibrahim, Ali Mohamed and Abdirahman Ahmed Huhule. Photo: Press image Transfer Galaxy, a company founded by Somali immigrants for cheap and handy money transfers is expanding rapidly and has acquired SEK 30 million ($3.6 million) in venture capital, the Dagens Industri economic daily reported. The company was founded by Somalis Yosef Mohamed and Khalid Qassim in the migrant-dense Vivalla district in the city of Örebro, which is present on the police list of blighted areas as “extremely vulnerable.” Before Transfer Galaxy arrived, Somali immigrants had to avail themselves of a local representative’s services for money transfers, which spurred the entrepreneurial duo into creating “Swish for migrants” as a cheap alternative. “Send money to your loved ones,” the front page of the service’s website says. The aim of the $3.6 million support from the company Backing Minds and the Alfvén & Didrikson investment company will allow it to grow internationally. Earlier, the company grew by customers recommending the service to others, now extra staff will be employed to speed up the growth. According to Susanne Najafi, one of the founders of Backing Minds, Transfer Galaxy is one of the fastest-growing companies in Sweden. “I believe this company will be valued at over one billion kronor in the future,” Najafi told Dagens Industri, pointing out that the company is growing by a double-digit percentage each month. The company was started in 2015 and subsequently grew to attract 600 loyal customers. Since then, the company has grown considerably and after acquiring a license from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, helped its customers from 25 European nations to send almost SEK 200 million ($24 million) abroad via mobile or computer. “We want to become a global company and Vivalla’s largest employer,” Transfer Galaxy CEO Yosef Mohamed told Dagens Industri. At present, unemployment in Vivalla is three times higher than in the rest of Orebro. According to Transfer Galaxy, $605 billion is being sent to immigrants’ home countries every year internationally. Therefore, the company aims to specifically address those two billion people in the world who do not have access to a regular bank. “For example, in Somalia, the founders’ home country, 73 percent use mobile money, compared with only 15 percent of the population who use a traditional bank,” the company wrote in a press-release.

The self-declared Republic of Somaliland is looking to the Gulf secure its borders within the horn of Africa due to the regional instability. The autonomous state is also looking to deepen its economic and security ties with Arabian Gulf countries, Foreign Minister Saad Ali Shire told Al Arabiya English’s exclusive #TheUnrecognizedRepublic. In February 2017 the Somaliland parliament voted to provide the United Arab Emirates a military and naval base in the port city of Berbera. The vote followed an agreement between Dubai Ports World and the Government of Somaliland to acquire the port of Berbera over a 30-year period. “More than 30 thousand ships pass through the red sea every year and into our seas and we see it important to keep that important maritime route open and free from piracy and we hope that the presence of the UAE military will add to the security of the region,” the foreign minister said on #TheUnrecognizedRepublic. Despite the country’s 800-kilometer-long shores on the Indian ocean they were able to free it from the threat of piracy. “Piracy is a land base crime and we have managed to ensure that pirates do not have that base in Somaliland, we have a coast guard that is efficient and is developing and we hope that it will be further developed with the United Arab Emirates which is taking care of the security of the seas” Shire insisted that the presence of the UAE in Somaliland will strengthen the stability and security in the region. “There is a lot of contention in this region at the present time and unfortunately we are being brought back to the bad cold war days and we believe that the presence of the United Arab Emirates will bring stability in the region,” he said. The country is facing a number of threats, the minister said, therefore making a security partnership with the UAE vital. Threats include extremism, piracy, illegal immigration, human trafficking, as well as the unstable situation in Somalia and the war in Yemen. “We have given a security facility to the United Arab Emirates and people have raised concerns regarding this being destabilizing to the region, however we view this as a stabilizing factor in the region,” he said. Deepening relations with the Gulf Economically, the foreign minister Shire said that Somaliland would like to deepen its relations with the Gulf countries. “We would like to get more investors from the gulf countries and we would like to see more trade flows from the region and I would like to see our economies more integrated,” he said. Currently Saudi Arabia is the country’s main export destination. The main exports are livestock as well as commercial ties and relations with Oman and Kuwait, he said. “We have a lot of opportunities for investments in different areas, in agriculture in livestock, minerals, tourism, and services.” The Somaliland government is also planning to set up an investment company with in the Dubai International Financial Center to facilitate investment in Somaliland. “Its role will be to create, joint venture companies with investors from different parts of the world and it will be a facilitating company basically where the companies would be working in Somaliland but the formation will take place here in Dubai,” Shire said.

This report comes from an activist whose family comes from the Somali region of Ethiopia. 20,000 inmates are believed to be held incommunicado throughout the Ogaden territory. Most of these inmates are the local population who were thought to be sympathetic to Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF.) However, many of them were residents in the neighbouring countries, Djibouti and Somalia’s autonomous states (Somaliland, Puntland, Galmugud, SouthWest state, etc) and Mogadishu, who were transferred to Ethiopia with the help of the Ethiopian security operating in Somalia and Djibouti and Ethiopian embassies and consulates in Djibouti city, Hargeisa, Garowe, Badao and Mogadishu. Most of those political inmates were jailed by Abdi Iley after false confessions. In 2005, Abdi Mohamoud Omar, the Ethiopia-appointed Regional President of Ogaden, which is officially named ‘Somali Regional State of Ethiopia (RSE)’, then the head of the Security Forces of the Somali militias launched a massive counterinsurgency campaign in the Ogaden regional state with the goal of wiping out the ONLF. In his brutal campaign, Abdi Iley sent tens of thousands of people to the notorious camp better known as ‘Jail Ogaden’ in Jigjiga, about 80 kilometers east of the city of Harar. He is the only person who can be authorise access to the jail. Abdi Mohamoud Omar holds also the post of the Chief Commander of Liyu Police, which clearly shows the importance attributed to this shameful, repressive institution and to the destructive role it plays within Ogaden. Abdi Mohamoud Omar (Abdi Ilay) holds a meeting with every fresh graduate; in the brief discussion, he offers his dark advice to the graduates, asking the well-trained forces to “indoctrinate the women with the male phallus and the men with guns”. The notorious Liyu Police, a paramilitary combat force, was founded on 5 May 2005 and are trained in Garab’ase military barracks of Jigjiga, Capital of Ogaden. Abdi Iley has built his core power base on members of his own Reer Ali Yusuf sub-clan of the Ogaden clan, who make up 1 percent of the Ogaden population. Reer Ali Yusuf – percent of the population He receives the support of the Ethiopian Generals stationing in the provinces of Harar and Qorahay of the Occupied Ogaden region. The commander of Special (Liyuu) Police Abdirahman Laba’gole arrested nearly 100 people from Djibouti on January 20, 2011. Sanyare and another cruel colonel called Muktar Suubane are the two special assassins that Abdi Iley uses for high-profile killings and often go after refugees in Kenyan camps and elsewhere. My younger brother who was deported from Saudi Arabia was among of them. He tried to enter into the Ogaden and he was arrested by the Somali militia that he has always adored them. They asked him to get off from the truck and arrested him from the border town of Tog Wajaale (Wajaale) and took him to Jigjiga prisoner, which he served 9 months before he and 800 others were released following a pardon by Abdi Mohammed Omer. Sanyare and another cruel colonel called Muktar Suubane are the two special assassins that Abdi Iley uses for high-profile killings. Eritrea Hub

DUBAI, March 1 (Reuters) – Dubai’s state-owned DP World said on Thursday the Ethiopian government had taken a 19 percent stake in Somaliland’s Port of Berbera. The port operator said it would retain a 51 percent stake in the port and that Somaliland would retain 30 percent. DP World took a 65 percent stake in the port in 2016 as part of a joint venture with the government of Somaliland under a 30-year concession. Financial details were not disclosed but the statement said the Ethiopian government would invest to develop the Berbera Corridor, a road from the border with Ethiopia to Berbera. DP World said in 2016 that up to $442 million would be invested to develop the port. Somaliland’s small port exports camels to the Middle East and imports food and other items. It also provides some transport links for neighbouring Ethiopia, a landlocked country that has friendly relations with the breakaway region. Thursday’s deal with Ethiopia comes a week after neighbouring Djibouti ended its contract with DP World to run its Doraleh Container Terminal. The port operator has called the move an illegal seizure.
