Xilliga uu qofka canug u dhalanayo waa mid ka mid ah waqtiyada ugu qiimaha badan noloshiisa, hasayeeshee aabayaasha oo dhan uma ay suuragasho inay indha saaraan marka ilmihiisu uu dunida usoo baxayo. Askari Mareykan ah ayaa Sabtidii isku dayayay inuu u safro gurigiisa oo ku yaal magaalada Brandon ee gobolka Mississippi ee waddankaasi, kaddib markii xaafkiisa la dhigay qolka dhalmada, hasayeeshee safarkiisii ayaa waxaa ku yimid hakad kaddib markii uu dhib u dhacay duulimaadkii uu raaci lahaa. Haddaba markii uu Brooks Lindsey ku xayirmay gagida diyaaraha ayaa waxa uu go’aansaday inuu gabadhiisa Millie ku arko muuqaal ahaan oo waxa uu taleefankiisa ka wacay xaaskiisa Haley Lindsey. Haweeney ay ninkaasi wada safrayeen ayaa sawirka ka qaadday aabahan filayay in canug loo dhalo kaasoo oo uu walwal badan ka muuqday markii uu taleefankiisa daawanayay. “Waa uu oynayay aniguna waannu muraalo dilaacnay. Farahaannu ka qaadnay oo waannu ka fogaannay. Markiise aannu maqalnay oohinta canuga, ayaannu farxad kula dabaaldegnay. Waxaan rabay inaan arrintan idinla wadaago sababtoo ah ma doonayo inaannu weligeen hilmaanno howsha ay askarteenna noo hayaan iyo sida ay naftooda noogu huraan,” ayey barteeda Facebook-ga soo dhigtay, Tracy Dover, taas oo sidoo kale dadka la wadaagtay sawirka Brooks Lindsey. Kaddib markii sheekada lagu baahiyay Facebook-ga iyo Twitter-ka in ka badan 120,000 oo jeer, ayaa qoysas kale oo ka tirsan milateriga waxa ay barahooda soo dhigeen xusuustooda iyo sheekooyin ku saabsan aabayaal aanay u suuragelin inay joogaan xilliga ay carruurtooda dhalnayeen sababo shaqo awgeed. Qaar badan oo ka mid ah dadkaasi waxa ay soo qaadeen sida uu milateriga naftiisa ugu huro dadweynaha oo ay si joogta ah uga baaqsadaan ka qeybgalka xafladaha muhiimka ah ee qoysaskooda. “Ninkeygii hore ayaa inoo yimid todobaad kaddib markaan dhiilkeyga dhalay. Nidaamka Laanqeyrta Cas ee la maro waa mid aad gaabis u ah. Dib ayuu ugu laabtay ururkii uu ka tirsanaa, laba bilood kaddibna aabihii ayaa dhintay – waanay u suurageliwaysay inuu degdeg ku yimaado oo waxa uu yimid laba maalmood kaddib geeridii aabihii,” waxaa sidaa ra’yigeeda ku dhiibatay Susan DeCato, taas oo ninkeedii loo badelay magaalada Baqdaad ee waddanka Ciraaq.

Markii uu badda ka soo baxay ayaa loo sheegay inaan dhashay – kaddibna habeenkii oo dhan ayuu soo safrayay si uu ii arko.” Hasayeeshee carruurta noocaasi ah oo dhan aabayaashood maalmo kuma aanay arag.

Barely eight months after setting up its first overseas military base in Djibouti, next door to the United States’ Camp Lemonnier, Washington says China has started playing dirty, aiming military grade lasers at cockpits of US military aircraft, resulting in “minor eye injuries” to two US pilots. Now the US says it has filed a diplomatic complaint over this “bullying” which has allegedly heightened in recent weeks, compromising the safety of its aircrew in Djibouti. The lasers present a serious problem to pilots, when aimed at their aircraft, as they have the potential to injure or temporarily blind them, a serious aviation safety risk, especially during take-off and landing. “These are very serious incidents. We have formally demarched the Chinese government, and we’ve requested that the Chinese investigate these incidents,” Dana White, the Pentagon’s chief spokesperson said, adding that they were confident it was the Chinese doing this. This is the first time in Africa that the two global powers are having a military ‘harassment tiff’ and it will be interesting how Beijing will respond to this accusation of bullying. In 2016, the Pentagon objected to the proximity of the Chinese military base to its own, but this was ignored by Djibouti. Source of concern In July 2017, China became the latest country to set up an overseas base in Djibouti, cementing Beijing’s growing clout outside of being an economic and diplomatic superpower in Africa. The US says it has so far recorded 10 incidences since July and this was becoming a source of concern, given that the two countries militaries have had good relations in Djibouti ever since China set up the base. The US has operated a base next to the international airport in Djibouti since 2002. “The Djibouti government is free to work with who they want to. However, our concern is the safety of our service members, and so we raised the issue with China, and we expect China to investigate it thoroughly,” Ms White said. One of the planes targeted was a Lockheed C130 Hercules US military transport. “The reports we received from our pilots indicate that on three occasions the lasers were military grade and came from the Chinese base nearby,” Marine Lt-Col Chris Logan said. In 2016, a US congressman protested to former Secretary of State John Kerry that the US strategic interests in Djibouti and the region could be undermined in the face of China’s presence. It is understood that the Chinese base would eclipse Camp Lemonnier, the US permanent base in Djibouti, which hosts at least 4,000 military personnel. Djibouti receives $63 million annually in rent for its base from Washington. It is speculated that China will be paying it a monthly rent of $100 million for its facility, which is located close to the US Camp Lemonnier. Military positioning In July last year, China sent two warships, carrying personnel for the overseas military base in Djibouti, tipping the global military positioning scale, with an eye on Africa. One of the ships was an amphibious transport, which can load more helicopters and special troops capable of handling maritime and terrorist attacks. At its establishment, Beijing said that the base would ensure China’s performance of missions, such as escorts, peace-keeping and humanitarian aid in Africa and west Asia. “The base will also be conducive to overseas tasks including military cooperation, joint exercises, evacuating and protecting overseas Chinese and emergency rescue, as well as jointly maintaining security of international strategic seaways,” Chinas navy commander Shen Jinlong said. People’s Liberation Army China began construction of a logistics base in Djibouti in 2016, saying that it would use it as resupply point for its navy ships taking part in peacekeeping and humanitarian missions off the coasts of Yemen and Somalia. Beijing’s military paper, Global Times, in its editorial, laid bare what this facility would be, underpinning the fact that it would in fact be a military base. “Certainly this is the People’s Liberation Army’s first overseas base and will have troops there. It’s not a commercial resupply point,” the paper said. The actualisation of the military base, coupled with its economic interest now firmly places it at the centre of the continents growth and security. The base is also being seen as a front to improving its growing arms race, through joint training and exercises, which has seen all the regional militaries use Chinese manufactured weapons in various sectors. Apart from China and the US, Djibouti and Somalia also play hosts to military bases from France, Germany, Italy, Turkey and Qatar, who have a military presence in the region.

SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates: Wooden dhows crammed with second-hand Japanese cars have been sailing unhindered into Yemeni ports for the past three years despite rigid wartime controls on imports of aid and other vital supplies. Like many Yemeni traders, Ali al-Mahry jumped at this chance to turn a profit by supplying customers at home with cars bought cheaply at auction in the United Arab Emirates. A Saudi-led military coalition, of which the UAE is part, has been battling Houthi rebels since 2015 with the aim of restoring the Yemeni government in exile. The coalition has imposed controls to deny arms to the Houthis, fighters aligned with Iran who control the capital Sanaa and Hudaida, the largest port. The measures have choked off supplies of fuel, food and medicine to Yemen, where millions face starvation and disease. Yet coalition forces appear to have turned a blind eye to the dhows that regularly carry cars from Port Khaled in the emirate of Sharjah to a small dock at As Shihr, a port in Yemen’s Hadramawt province controlled by UAE-backed forces. “I make this journey around 30 times a year,” Mahry said, surrounded by 180 cars taking up every corner of a dhow he has chartered for the voyage. “I sometimes also ship food and other items, but they require different permits.” The cars have become a nice earner for traders in both the UAE and Yemen. Yemeni dealers gather daily at Dubai’s Al-Aweer Auto Market to bid as a big screen flashes prices for Japanese cars, with as many as 80 sold in a day at one auction house. Once sold, the automobiles are taken to Port Khaled, where up to 200 vehicles are stacked onto each dhow. The vessels are searched at Port Khaled and on arrival at As Shihr but have not been required to obtain permits or pay customs duties for the past three years, in contrast to the obstacles faced by ships delivering other supplies to Yemeni ports. “The coalition would ask us for the cars’ papers and clear them here,” said Saleh al-Ali, head of the port at As Shihr. “For the past three years there has been no need to apply for a permit from Riyadh.” In March, however, the coalition changed the rules, requiring permits to be obtained from Saudi Arabia, according to Ali. He said he was told the new measures were introduced for security reasons. A coalition spokesman did not reply to requests for comment on why the car-laden dhows have been exempted for so long. Port officials said the dhows may have been simply an exception to the rule and in any case it had taken time to put the car trade on a more formal footing. Car importers have been able to avoid the wartime restrictions imposed on Yemen. REUTERS/Satish Kumar GOOD BUSINESS Mustafa al-Jaffrey, who used to send cars to Yemen overland through Oman before the war, said he had doubled his profits by using the sea route. “It is much cheaper for me to buy and ship,” he said, adding that Japanese cars in particular were a good business for him. “The Japanese drive their cars only for about 50,000 km before they sell them and buy new ones. That’s way less than the 150,000 km or more that people in the Gulf drive before they put a car up for sale, so the quality is better as well.” In Japan, strict safety and pollution regulations force many drivers to sell their cars after a few years, so there are plenty of good quality vehicles available. Such cars can sell for as little as $1,000 at online auctions in Japan. A Toyota can be bought by traders for around $1,900 in Dubai and sell in Yemen for more than twice that. “I buy a Japanese used car from an auction in Japan, sometimes an online auction, and then ship it here,” said Hammad Ali, marketing manager at Jan Japan (Cars 4 U), the top re-exporter at Al-Aweer in Dubai. Ali has long imported such cars for re-export to places like Somalia and Afghanistan as many other countries that drive on the right, including the UAE, do not allow cars from Japan, where people drive on the left, on safety concerns. “It is a safety thing … so most of them were going to Afghanistan and Somalia. Then three years ago, Yemen opened up,” he said. Prior to 2015 in Yemen, where people drive on the right, cars with their steering wheel on the “wrong” side were banned for safety reasons, but road safety has been another casualty of a war that has killed more than 10,000 people. As fighting continues, the Houthis control the north of Yemen, while coalition forces have seized the southern port of Aden and made gains along the southwest coast along the Red Sea. “Yemen is a big country and people need to move around. The cars are going into the south, where it is relatively safe, and from there onward to the rest of the country,” Mahdy al-Mahry, another dhow operator and car dealer, said. “People can buy one of these cars and use them to earn money for their families. Others just buy them as a cheap and safe means of transport.” Not everyone has profited from the trade. The Yemeni government, which has a presence in Aden while the president is in exile in Saudi Arabia, has missed out on customs dues, although it now plans to regulate the car trade. “While it has largely been unregulated for the past three years, we are slowly coming to it and we will organize the trade as the government prepares to impose a fee,” said Salem Ali Busamir, head of the Arabian Sea Ports Corporation of Yemen. He did not say when this would happen or how much the fee would be. Traders however seem confident the new measures will not disrupt their business unduly. “This trade employs hundreds at the port now. They can’t ruin that, even if they impose a small tax,” said Ghaleb al-Mahry, who has a car showroom in As Shihr. Source: – Reuters

Both Washington’s European allies and Tehran pledged on Tuesday to uphold the 2015 Iran nuclear deal despite President Donald Trump’s decision to pull the United States out and reimpose sanctions. European leaders decried Trump’s decision to withdraw from the deal, which had lifted sanctions against Iran in return for curbs on its nuclear program. They called on Washington not to take steps that would prevent other countries from upholding it. Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said Tehran aimed to continue to comply with the deal’s terms, and would swiftly reach out to the its other signatories – Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China – to keep it in place. “Together, we emphasize our continuing commitment to the JCPoA,” the leaders of Britain, France and Germany said in a joint statement, referring to the deal by an acronym. “This agreement remains important for our shared security.” “We urge the U.S. to ensure that the structures of the JCPoA can remain intact, and to avoid taking action which obstructs its full implementation by all other parties to the deal,” said the statement, provided by British Prime Minister Theresa May’s office after she spoke by phone to France’s President Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel. Macron said he regretted Trump’s decision. Germany’s Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said: “We will try to keep alive this important agreement, which ensures the Middle East and the world as a whole are safer.” Moscow said it too would focus its efforts on maintaining the accord. It called Trump’s decision “deeply disappointing”. “There are no – and can be no – grounds for breaking” the deal, the Russian Foreign Ministry said, adding the pact had shown its “full efficiency”. “The United States is undermining international trust in the International Atomic Energy Agency.” EU leaders are concerned that Washington could use its influence over the world’s financial system to prevent businesses in other countries that have not reimposed sanctions on Iran from doing business there. As if to hammer home that concern, Trump’s new ambassador to Germany, who presented his credentials in Berlin earlier on Tuesday, tweeted that German businesses should halt their activities in Iran immediately. DECISION COULD HELP IRAN HARDLINERS In Tehran, Rouhani, a relative moderate who faced down hardliners at home to reach the agreement with world powers as part of a policy to open up the country and its economy to the outside world, decried Trump’s decision, but said Iran would stick to the deal for now, provided it still works. “If we achieve the deal’s goals in cooperation with other members of the deal, it will remain in place,” Rouhani said in a televised speech. “I have ordered the foreign ministry to negotiate with the European countries, China and Russia in coming weeks. If at the end of this short period we conclude that we can fully benefit from the JCPoA with the cooperation of all countries, the deal would remain.” Iranian officials told Reuters that Trump’s decision would set the stage for a resurgence of political infighting within Iran’s complex power structure. The U.S. exit from the deal, so closely associated in Iran with Rouhani, could tip the balance of power in favor of his hardline opponents, some Iran experts said. “They will blame Rouhani … They will continue their shenanigans at home and abroad. And they will have the U.S. to blame for the failure of the economy,” said Abbas Milani, director of the Iranian Studies program at Stanford University. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has been in power since 1989 and outranks the elected president, had said Iran would “shred” the deal if the United States pulled out. While most U.S. allies decried the Trump administration’s decision to unravel the principal foreign policy achievement of his predecessor Barack Obama, the decision was hailed by Washington’s two main Middle East allies, Israel and Saudi Arabia, both of which long opposed the deal. The deal was “a recipe for disaster, a disaster for our region, a disaster for the peace of the world,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in praising Trump’s decision. Saudi Arabia, a Sunni Muslim power that considers Shi’ite Iran to be its main regional foe, also hailed Trump’s move. “Iran used economic gains from the lifting of sanctions to continue its activities to destabilize the region, particularly by developing ballistic missiles and supporting terrorist groups in the region,” said a Saudi Foreign Ministry statement. But for major European allies, also at odds with Trump over a host of other issues from trade to efforts to tackle global warming, the decision represents a decisive setback. Britain, France and Germany had lobbied the Trump administration hard in recent weeks to keep the deal in place, arguing that it had succeeded in preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons and that to renege on it would damage the credibility of Western countries in future negotiations. EU countries believe it was their decision to stand with the Obama administration and impose firm sanctions against Iran’s oil and gas industry in 2011 that pushed Tehran to the negotiating table in the first place. “The European Union is determined to preserve it,” EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said of the agreement with Tehran, which she helped negotiate as coordinator for the Western countries. “Together with the rest of the international community, we will preserve this nuclear deal.” Since the deal was signed, the EU has effectively lifted all sanctions on Iran, but Washington has kept some in place over Iran’s missile program, which was not covered by the deal. That has slowed down a promised boon for the Iranian economy, scaring off foreign investors and making it difficult for Iranian banks to forge links with the outside world. Source: Reuters

After a long day's work, Somalis and foreigners like to catch up for a drink and chat at the Leaf Camp hotel in Mogadishu. The Somalian capital is busy and bustling despite the threat of attacks by the Islamist militant group al-Shabab, says Suleiman Elmem, one of the patrons. Maka al Mukarama is the busiest street in Mogadishu, with overflowing traffic jams, pedestrians crisscrossing under the scorching heat, and crowded business outlets displaying all sorts of merchandise. Life seems to be normal unlike in the past when the al-Shabaab Islamists were in control. "Three years ago, they used to control parts of Mogadishu - now they don't control anything, so their presence is insignificant," Elmem told DW. Source: Hiiraan Online
