In war-torn Somalia where volunteers are hard to come by, one man stands tall. In Somalia, health care is in disarray making proper treatment of tragedy victims a tall order. Fortunately, Dr Abdulkadir Abdirahman Adan is giving hope to those in need by offering free, 24-hour ambulance service and ensuring people get better medical care. TRANSPORT Dr Adan quit a well-paying job in Pakistan to set up Aamin Ambulance that is operating in the capital Mogadishu. The deplorable state of the health industry nudged the trained dentist to ameliorate the situation. There are few ambulances to transport casualties to hospitals. “When I came back to the country, there was a war going on and people were using wheelbarrows to get patients to hospitals. “It led to deaths on the way to hospitals, the persons carrying the patient would be tired. That motivated me to respond and set up Aamin Ambulance Service. It has helped to stop deaths,” Dr Adan said, adding that many lack the skill to perform first aid. SAVINGS With little resources he had, he set up the company that is now 10 years old “I shed tears, it hurt me to see my own countrymen suffering. I was not going to run away. I had to do something. “I put all my savings and bought a second hand van for a start. We slowly grew and today I am proud of where we have reached though I know we can grow even bigger and offer better services. “If I place ‘I’ before the word Aamin, it becomes ‘trust me’,” he explained. He added that settling on the name has endeared him to the people, who are not used to having volunteers. STAFF The company has recorded significant growth, boasting of a team of 35 nurses, paramedics, drivers, along with a fleet of 10 vehicles. He said he has plans of expanding it to other regions. One of the agency that has contributed to his humanitarian endeavours is the United Nations Development Programme, which donated walkie-talkies. The portable radios have enabled his staff work better during emergencies. “When there is an emergency, everyone tries to make a telephone call and there is a jam on the telephone networks. “But the walkie-talkies will make a difference. They will simplify communication among us, coordination among ambulances and collaboration with hospitals.” TRUCK BOMB Regarding the October 14 truck bomb in Mogadishu that killed more than 300 people, he described it as the ‘worst attack’. He staff, he said, were very instrumental in stanching further deaths. “It was an explosion that traumatized us. I cannot count how many trips we managed to make but I can only thank our staff, they gave their all and managed to save many lives.” And he believes that with assistance from well-wishers, more citizens will benefit from the services his company provides. “My dream is to reach every district, every village in the regions to serve people. “But all I can ask is the government to come and assist by setting up a station park for the ambulances where they can also be repaired,” Dr Adan said.

Vote counting is underway in Somaliland after the breakaway republic held its presidential election. Three candidates are competing to replace President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud, who opted not to seek re-election. The three candidates, Muse Bihi Abdi of the ruling Kulmiye party, Faysal Ali Warabe of UCID and Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi of the Waddani party, cast their votes Monday in Hargeisa, the capital. Somaliland’s electoral commission said voting was peaceful in all of the republic’s six regions. It said it recorded an incident in Togdher region where at least one person was injured after a soldier’s gun accidentally discharged. Of the more than 1,600 polling stations, only a few had people in line when voting ended at 6 p.m. Electoral officials closed the stations, but allowed those in line to cast their ballots. Final results are not expected for several days. Under the vote-counting system, polling stations send their results to regional offices, who will pass them on to the electoral commission. Voting was watched by a total of 60 election observers from 27 countries whose salaries were paid by Britain. The observers said they heard reports of some problems, but not many. “I’m referring to isolated instances, with one of the more serious being in Hargeisa where a polling station was closed down because of a disturbance. That prevented or delayed the closing of the polling station and the count. We’re not sure of details yet,” said the observer, speaking on condition of anonymity. “There were also some complaints from parties of voters being prevented from voting, though again, we didn’t hear of anything that seemed systematic or widespread.” More than 700,000 people were expected to vote. Turnout was thought to be high, but the commission says it was too early to give figures. Somaliland, a former British colony, broke away from the rest of Somalia in 1991. The territory has run its own affairs since, but has never been recognized as an independent country.

The UN refugee agency said on Friday that some 108,498 refugees have returned to Somalia since voluntary repatriation exercise begun in December 2014. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said in its Repatriation Update for Somalia that some 73,943 refugees were from Kenya, 33,921 from Yemen (33,511 spontaneous and 418 assisted) and 626 from other countries of asylum (589 from Djibouti, 34 from Eretria, two from Tunisia, and one from Pakistan). “Throughout the October several factors have impacted the repatriation – deteriorating humanitarian situation in Baidoa, security concerns on the border between Kenya and Somalia (Dhobley town) and newly imposed landing fees in Kismayo,” said the UNHCR. According to the UN refugee agency, due to these factors return movement to listed locations remained temporarily suspended. An estimated 2 million Somalis have been displaced in one of the world’s most protracted humanitarian crises that have now entered its third decade. About 1.1 million people are internally displaced (IDPs) within Somalia and nearly 900,000 are refugees in the region. Source: Xinhua

A woman casts her ballot in the presidential election in the self-proclaimed state of Somaliland. Officials began counting votes in the self-proclaimed state of Somaliland after residents on Monday took part in its third presidential poll, hoping to bolster its democratic credentials and strengthen the case for independence from troubled Somalia. The northern territory, which is more tribally homogenous and stable than the rest of Somalia, broke away in 1991 and has been striving to attain international recognition ever since, without success. As vote tallying began shortly after 6:00 pm (1500 GMT), a social media blackout was imposed. The national electoral commission said the move was necessary to prevent interference from outside the borders of the semi-autonomous state and speculation over the outcome. “Most polling stations are closed now and the internet connection is interrupted as per the instruction of the electoral commission. You cannot use social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter in all the regions of Somaliland,” said security official Mohamed Dahir. No incidents of violence, unrest or disruption were reported during the day’s voting. Three candidates are vying for the state’s top office: seasoned politicians Muse Bihi of the ruling Kulmiye party and opposition leaders Abdirahman Iro and Faysal Ali Warabe, who was defeated in a previous election in 2010. Incumbent Ahmed Mohamud Silaanyo is not seeking re-election. Elections are meant to be held every five years, however the poll was delayed for two years due to drought and technical issues. Somaliland’s history of peaceful, credible elections and democratic transition sets it apart from anarchic southern Somalia, and indeed much of east Africa. Somalia’s election earlier this year saw a president chosen via a limited electoral process in which handpicked clan elders selected delegates who were allowed to vote. – Debates and eye scanners – Voters wait in a line to cast their ballots in Somaliland’s presidential election with biometric eye scanners used to identify them before voting. Ahead of the Somaliland election, the three main candidates held a televised debate to present their political agendas, focusing on the economy, jobs and international recognition. “This is a very critical election… for the youth, they need a leader who can develop the economy and bring jobs so that everybody can stay in their country to enjoy their lives,” said university student Ismail Mohamed. Candidate Iro hailed the election as “a milestone for the entire region” as he cast his ballot earlier in the day. The poll is set to be the most sophisticated yet with some 700,000 voters registered using biometric eye scanners to identify them before voting. Somaliland, a former British protectorate, won independence in 1960 but days later joined with Somalia. In 1991, after years of bitter war with the government in Mogadishu, it declared independence from the rest of the country. Despite its lack of recognition, the state has managed to draw significant investment from abroad, notably Gulf nations. Kuwait financed the renovation of the airport in the capital Hargeisa, and a Dubai-based company has been contracted to expand the Berbera port in a bid to compete with Djibouti for container traffic from Ethiopia.

Kenya Defence Forces units assigned to the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom) are failing to enforce a ban on charcoal exports by Al-Shabaab, a team of United Nations monitors charges in a new report. Shabaab earns at least $10 million (Sh1 billion) a year by shipping charcoal from ports in southern Somalia where KDF units are stationed, the UN panel says. SH200 A BAG “Amisom, whose Kenyan Defence Forces contingents remain deployed at the ports of Kismayu and Buur Gaabo, has neither assisted the Somali authorities in implementing the charcoal ban nor facilitated Monitoring Group access to charcoal exporting ports,” the report states. Poor implementation of the five-year-old UN Security Council ban “enables Al-Shabaab financing and undermines counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency efforts in Somalia,” the report observes. As an example of Shabaab’s continuing ability to thwart counter-insurgency efforts, the UN team cites an attack on a KDF base at Kulbiyow on the Kenya-Somalia border that killed at least 67 Kenyan soldiers. Shabaab militants have also taken the lives of scores of civilians and police officers inside Kenya in the past two years. It is not the first time UN experts have made allegations of KDF non-compliance with the charcoal-export ban. The UN’s Somalia and Eritrea Monitoring Group said last year that Kenyan troops assigned to Amisom were receiving $2 (Sh200) per bag of charcoal illegally shipped from the port of Kismayo. SH1.2BN Kenyan forces’ collusion in the illicit trade may have brought them $12 million (Sh1.2 billion) in proceeds, the 2016 report suggested. The January attack on the KDF’s Kulbiyow base also resulted in Shabaab’s capture of weaponry that included a 105mm howitzer, an armoured personnel carrier, an 81mm mortar launcher and a heavy machine gun, the new report adds. Shabaab is further said to have used more powerful 120mm mortars, likely seized from an Amisom Burundian base in 2015, in an April attack on a joint Uganda-Somali National Army base at Baledogle. Weapons of that calibre represent “a new and significant threat to peace and security in Somalia,” the report warns. In another worrisome sign of an increasingly diversified Shabaab arsenal, FBI laboratory analyses have shown that the insurgents are now using an ingredient in fertiliser to make vehicle-borne bombs, the UN team says. WEAPONS “The potential use of home-made explosives by Al-Shabaab would allow the group to rely less on the process of harvesting explosives from munitions, which is slow and laborious,” the monitoring team points out. Additional weapons are being illegally imported into Somalia via the country’s Puntland region aboard dhows sailing from Yemen and the Makran coast of Iran, the report finds. At a meeting in September with UN monitors, “Iranian authorities strongly denied any state involvement in the shipment of weapons to Somalia,” the report notes. Along with revenues from charcoal exports, Shabaab finances its operations partly through “taxes” it levies on vehicles traveling on roads it controls, the UN team says. “Large trucks are usually taxed $1,000 Sh100,000), with receipts issued by Al-Shabaab to prevent double taxation at subsequent checkpoints,” the monitors recount. TRADERS Other monthly fees extracted by Shabaab range from $10 (Sh1,000) paid by market traders to as much as $70,000 (Sh700,000) paid by major companies, according to the report. Somalia’s federal government has warned businesses against supporting Shabaab financially, the monitors note. But because the government has only limited capacity to monitor such payments, the warning is unlikely to have much effect on Shabaab’s taxation of business interests, the report adds. Federal institutions likewise remain “incapable of addressing pervasive corruption,” the monitors observe. The electoral process earlier this year was treated by the country’s elite as another opportunity to “capture or maintain control over state resources in Somalia at the expense of peace and security,” the report asserts. Sums of cash were handed out to electors choosing a president last February. BRIBES Other countries became involved in the vote-buying, with the United Arab Emirates said to have been particularly overt in making such bribes. UAE representatives frequently summoned Somali regional administrators to meetings “where they were given cash to persuade their regional members of Parliament to vote for that country’s preferred candidate,” the report says. The UN experts’ generally pessimistic assessment of the security situation in Somalia includes the finding that a faction of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has grown significantly during the past year. ISIL loyalists in Somalia numbered no more than a few dozen in 2016 but the group now includes as many as 200 fighters, the report says. “The ISIL faction has demonstrated increasingly sophisticated recruitment methods, largely targeted at disaffected members of Al-Shabaab in southern Somalia,” the UN team notes.

The Somali community that settled in Canada says poverty and a lack of access to jobs and academic opportunities are some of the factors behind deadly gang violence that has taken a toll on its youth. More than two dozen young Somali men have died in Alberta because of such violence in the past decade, with gang activity spreading to Toronto as well, officials say. The Somali-Canadian population discussed the issue of gang-related deaths recently at a town hall forum hosted in Toronto by VOA’s Somali Service. In attendance at the town hall were an Islamic preacher, a woman who lost a son to violence, and two people representing youth and parents in the community. More than 200 people attended, including parents, relatives and friends of the victims of gang violence. In 1991, a large number of Somalis fleeing war in their east African country settled in a group of residential towers in northwest Toronto. Cultural challenges The community has struggled to integrate into Canadian life, but several speakers said the largest impediments are cultural challenges, as well as poverty and a lack of opportunities for Somali youth, panel members said. Habiba Aden, a cofounder of a Somali group called Positive Change, lost her 26-year-old son Warsame Ali in a double homicide in September 2012 in Toronto. She said she believes cultural challenges and a loss of identity are major issues driving young Somalis toward gang activity. “Our sons lack paternal role model, and they do not speak their mother language, which forces them struggle with identity crisis,” Aden said. In Canada, “mothers take the leading role of the family while still struggling with raising more than half a dozen kids. They do not get the same help and cultural co-parenting they would get back home from other family members,” Aden said. She said she believes those challenges lead families to be less physically affectionate with one another, and eventually drive their sons to outside influences. Sidiq Ali Hashi, the youth representative on the panel said Somali youth are affected by the socioeconomic status of the community coupled with the influence of the poor neighborhoods they live in. “I think the reason is the environment where the Somali child is being raised. He grows up in the worst poverty-ridden neighborhoods of Toronto,” Hashi said. He said the neighborhoods where Somali youth live lack investments and good schools. Because of these challenges, some students drop out of school and fall in with drug dealers and gangs, Hashi said. Canada, parents blamed Panelist Sheikh Saeed Rageah, a religious scholar and Imam, said the education system in Canada has failed Somali youth, calling the schools “systematic racism.” “The education system in this country was designed to segregate us. When the Somali-Muslim child joins the school, he or she is labeled as a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or ADD), which deprives them their rights for a fair teaching and homework support,” Rageah said. However, Saeed Mohamed Mohamud, a parent representative on the panel, said blame belonged not with Canada’s education system but with parents. “Whatever it is, I think the system in this country was not designed for Somalis. It has been the same since we came here. But I would put the primary blame on a bad parenting of many members within the community,” Mohamud said. “I am a parent. I always see young boys who went to school in the morning, and when they come out hanging out the streets of Toronto with their backpacks. Where are the parents of these boys?” Some family members had questions for Toronto police, saying many of the homicide cases of slain Somalis remain unsolved. Toronto police officials said about 40 percent of gang shootings in the city occur in the Toronto neighborhood where Somalis reside. “We have issues with regards to gang members, drug trade, poverty, lack of opportunity, lack of recreational facilities, inadequate … housing. We have issues with families themselves and the culture that is brought into the community,” Toronto police Superintendent Mario Di Tommaso told VOA. Di Tommaso said the gangs in Toronto, including those within the Somali community, are based on race, gender and ethnicity. Community involvement He said the Toronto police have spent resources to investigate the gang-related shootings and homicides, but he said some blame lies within the community and its lack of reporting such activity. “We will have many situations where the community at large, not necessarily the Somali community, will make observations, will witnesses something, and they are reluctant to call the police,” Di Tommaso said. “When that happens, you have a proliferation of crimes within that community, which breeds fear. “We need more witnesses from the community so that we can advance to our investigations,” he added. At least one parent, Mohamud agreed to a point. He said the community was not happy with how the police and law enforcement agencies handled cases involving the Somali youth, saying, “We have a right that government investigates and tells us who killed our kids, but we also need to collaborate with the law enforcement agencies as well.” Abdirahman Yabarow, chief of VOA’s Somali Service, said the forum was designed to give the Somali-Canadian community a chance to explore, brainstorm and find solutions behind the violence that is affecting their youth. At the conclusion of the two-hour discussion, panelists proposed an organization aimed at gathering and making available resources for the community. They also urged those in the audience to unite against the influences that are pushing the Somali youth to drug- and gang-related crimes. Source: VOA

Al-Shabaab gunmen have killed a prominent elder in Somali capital, Mogadishu, the latest in a string of assassinations against the elders voted for the lawmakers in 2016-2017 Somali elections. The elder was among the electoral delegates who elected one of Tthe Somali lawmakers identified as Hassan Ja’iir last year in Jowhar town. According to witnesses, the elder was accosted by two assailants who shot him dead at close range near his house in Barakro before they manage to escape from the crime scene. Alshabab has claimed for the attack responsibility through a statement posted on pro-Alshabaab website. The group has killed dozens of elders and electoral delegates who participated in Somalia’s two indirect elections that took place in 2012 and 2016. Late last year, Al-Shabaab vowed to kill anybody who take part in the parliamentary elections.
