Abdi set to have detention review hearing Monday and deportation hearing in the next month Supporters of Abdi demonstrated in Lower Sackville, N.S., on Tuesday, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was holding a town hall meeting. (Robert Guertin/CBC) A Somali refugee at risk of being deported has been moved to an immigration detention centre in Toronto, according to his lawyer. 23-year-old Abdoul Abdi was being held in segregation by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) following his release from a New Brunswick prison last Thursday. Abdi, who just completed a four-year sentence for crimes including aggravated assault, is at risk of being deported because he is not a Canadian citizen, despite living in the country most of his life. “He’s not doing very well,” said Abdi’s lawyer, Benjamin Perryman. “He’s happy to be out of segregation. He’s of course nervous and scared of the upcoming deportation proceedings.” Benjamin Perryman is Abdoul Abdi’s lawyer. (Marina Von Stackelberg/CBC) Abdi came to Nova Scotia as a refugee when he was six years old but was taken into foster care soon after and subsequently lived at more than two dozen foster homes. It was the responsibility of the province’s Department of Community Services to make an application for his citizenship, but that never happened. Abdi came to Canada as a refugee when he was six. (Submitted by Benjamin Perryman) His lawyer said before the CBSA intervened, correctional services had deemed him safe to release, and had planned to have him stay at a halfway house in Toronto. “Moving him there makes him closer to where he needs to be should border services and the Immigration and Refugee Board agree to his release,” Perryman said. This photo of Abdoul Abdi and his daughter Farrah was taken before he began his prison sentence. (Submitted by Fatouma Abdi) Province lacks policy for citizenship application Nova Scotia has no policy to ensure that immigrant children in foster care are able to apply for and receive citizenship, Perryman said. “From a compassionate perspective, you cannot look at the deplorable treatment Mr. Abdi received while he was a child in care and the failure to get citizenship and think it’s morally justified to deport him,” Perryman said. Julie Chamagne is the executive director of the Halifax Refugee Clinic. (Marina Von Stackelberg/CBC) Cases like Abdi’s aren’t unique, according to Julie Chamagne, executive director of the Halifax Refugee Clinic. Chamagne said in some cases, the person thinks they’re a Canadian citizen, and doesn’t find out they aren’t until they’re charged with a crime. Deportations not rare, says advocate Chamagne said despite spending most of his life in Canada, Abdi’s life is now at risk if he is sent back to Somalia. “Abdoul Abdi is going to be deported to a country where Canada issues the starkest of travel advisory warnings, and Canada won’t even send its own citizens,” Chamagne said. Abdoul Abdi is going to be deported to a country where Canada . . . won’t even send its own citizens.Julie Chamagne , executive director of the Halifax Refugee Clinic “That to me is a terrible contrast. He’s someone who should be, and for all intents and purposes is, a Canadian citizen.” But Canada has a history of deporting people like Abdi, even when the United Nations found it would be in violation of international law, according to his lawyer. “International law is clear that deporting somebody like Mr. Abdi in these circumstances would be a violation of the law,” he said. Abdi is set to have a detention review hearing on Monday, and a deportation hearing in the next three to four weeks, according to his lawyer. In the meantime, Perryman is challenging the deportation order in federal court, and said it’s up to the Canadian government to stop it.​ “[The federal government] didn’t look at the country conditions in Somalia, they did not look at the experience of Mr. Abdi in care and they did not look at the reason why he did not become a Canadian citizen,” he said.

Just yesterday I accidently met a Chinese-looking guy in a restaurant in Burao. An acquaintance of mine introduced us and from there we began our conversation. The gentleman was a Chinese Muslim from North-West China and he came to Somaliland looking for investment opportunities. Mr. Abdurrahman was upbeat and buoyant of the prospect of investing in Togdheer region. He spoke of the nice climate, the vast land mass with fertile soil that was never cultivated, the possibilities of developing the livestock industry into modernity and the many other unexploited natural resources in Somaliland and especially in Togdheer region. Our conversation drifted to the Somaliland population and I jokingly told him: “it is about the same size as inhabitants of a medium-size Chinese hotel – just about 4 million.” I added, hearing that he burst into laughter and alerted me “that is a bit of an exaggeration.” Mr. Abdurrahman told me that he lately read from somewhere that we in Somaliland lost 50,000 lives to a famine in the 1970s and he politely wanted me to explain how that happened, when our country is so rich with natural resources. At that point I have realized that we wasted our time doing nothing, but talking and endlessly talking. I was embarrassed to be told stealthily that I belong to a nation that is intellectually lazy, a nation that never learns from its past mistakes and a nation not willing to plan and think ahead for a better future. Yes indeed, I was more than humiliated and I had no decent explanation to offer to Mr. Abdurrahman. I admit, from the day we united with Somalia onwards that we have had many hurdles on our way, but these hurdles were of our own making and due to our uneducated poor judgments. As a nation we suffer of a psychiatric derangement known as a displacement disorder, which involves a shift from important to unimportant elements. We cowardly avoid tackling with reality and we look around for a scapegoat rather than looking at ourselves on the mirror and as a nation we blame our own inherent problems on others, including the weather. We preoccupy ourselves and waste our precious time at variance on the clannish affiliations of the new members of the new president’s cabinet rather than putting emphasis on their abilities in solving our enormous problems. In turn, the newly chosen cabinet members appear on TVs bragging of their personal attributes instead of telling us what they plan to do to improve our miserable lives. Our president does not do any better, because he wastes too much time avoiding to step on the toes of different clans and that is how we ended up jumping on the laps of these incompetent people time and again – isn’t that an ignominy? Talking of scapegoats let us stumble upon our major problems head-on. Let us begin with the international recognition of our national sovereignty, did not the international community offer us the opportunity for a bilateral dialogue with Somalia on our future relations on a silver platter? Did we mange that in a smart way? We talk a great deal of lack of jobs and opportunities of international investment; didn’t the UK government give us the opening to showcase our investment prospects to the world? Did we run home with that opportunity? What about educating our youth to the level of international acceptance, so then we can market them as qualified cheap labor and bring home much needed industries from all over the world? Have we done our best making lives easier for prospective investors by putting corrupt bureaucrats on short leashes? How are we going to forge friendships with other countries to get more international support? What are we doing to offer food security to our people and how long will it take us to accomplish that? How are we going to deal with corruption and nepotism? What about power abuse and obstruction of justice? What about conflict of interest? What about human rights? The list of questions goes on frenziedly. Unless we answer these questions and put an action plan on the works then we will only dig our heels on the spot and get frozen in time. These questions and many other more crucial ones can only be answered by having honest, bold and hard-working leadership. Let us see what countries that have fewer resources did accomplish in a short span of time and follow the examples of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. The successes of these countries are attributed to a courageous and a good leadership. Equally, the advisory members of every leader are a reflection and a measure of his intelligence and integrity. Are you wondering if my conversation with Mr. Abdurrahman was in Chinese? Then that is not the case – we are both fluent in Arabic. Dr. Yusuf Dirir Ali

MOGADISHU, Jan. 12 — The United Nations agencies working in Somalia will next week launch the 2018 Humanitarian Response Plan which outlines the humanitarian situation and priorities for response throughout the country. A statement from the UN Office for Coordinating of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Friday that the scaled-up humanitarian response with generous contributions from donors averted large-scale famine in the Horn of Africa nation last year. “However, with growing and increasingly severe humanitarian needs, indications are that the effects of the prolonged drought will extend into 2018,” OCHA said. The newly developed Plan for Somalia for 2018 reflects a commitment by aid agencies to better support Somalis in addressing the extensive humanitarian needs throughout the country. An estimated 6.2 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and the UN says food security needs are nearly double the five-year average, with an estimated 2.44 million people in crisis and 866,000 in emergency throughout Somalia.

In principle, the culture of governance, to those unaccustomed to what it is meant to display and deliver, can be a tricky endeavor. If one is accustomed to conspiracy and collusion and not to decency and dialogue, it becomes harder for him to recall what has happened or missed when there was no good governance. It could be even argued that he could not be able to show the reflections of what good governance means to people. The culture of good governance displays the glint of truth. But if the governance becomes dense and masks the truth it is meant to display and demonstrate, then we are in trouble. The beauty of governance depends basically on transparency. When there is truth in the governance, there is beauty in the system. But when there is no truth in the governance, there is no beauty in the system. As the old adage says “When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.” This saying reminds us the fact that we are in an era in which great men are missed, and even the beautiful ones are not yet born. Only the barons and predators are the ones who steal the show and share the evil intent that engenders our national diseases. This is why having a more mature kind of politics is not seen in our system. A political of moral engagement is even missing from governing senarios in this era of wickedness. The culture of governance has never been in trouble. It is the way we use it that has been a trouble. The rule of law remains resilient and realistic when those who govern societies, in all honesty and fairness, are well recruited into the rule of law. But when the motivation behind those running for the presidency is based almost exclusively on a burning desire to defeat and destroy the other side, the chances are things that will end badly increase exponentially. Imagine if this question “Why do you want to be president” had been put to Muse Biixi in the election campaign. What answer he would have given? Regardless of what sort of answer Muse Biixi would have given, his reasons could not be grounded in ideology, in deeply held ideas about what kind of nation Somaliland would be. All societies give a hard time to every candidate intending to run for presidency. They question him, examine him, observe him and have lengthy repetitive interviews with him to know exactly what he is as a person and what motivates him to run for presidency. The reason for this is that the people want to hold every candidate accountable for what he says and promises. This is a precondition intending to prevent any loophole around which each candidate can act, do and decide as he would like to. For reasons of emulation, what motivation do we, as Somaliland citizens, want to see in those who want to be Somaliland President? To gain the power and prestige of the office and satisfy their ego? Or to serve their country and help people? The mantra for seeking Somaliland political posts stems from the attractions to material possession. Neither power nor fame are the motivational factors that are behind the ambitions of those who seek Somaliland political positions. Fortune and somehow or the other “retaliation” are the factors that mostly motivate all Somaliland politicians to seek power after power. If a leader is cash-oriented and not cause-oriented, what would one expect from such leader? When the head of the state is selfish, corrupt and crook, and the society is ready to be corrupted, how the culture of governance that could evolve from this would look like? Somaliland has been in the middle of unrestrained political corruption and deleterious governance in the last decades and still be unable to create a more promising democracy to the future. Of course well cultivated governance is what defines the system, the true image of all nations, the life, the norms, the notions of national pride, the ethics, and the moral values of the whole societies. As Somaliland society, are we focusing on what we are trying to reach or focusing on what to keep? What about how citizens, young and old alike, really behave: to say how we experience shame, how we love and how we rage, how we fail, how we retreat, how we deal with the challenges we face and how we overcome? The need of the hour shows that our governing system must be improved, our culture re-engineered, our education system re-innovated, our politics reformed, our people re-organized, re-orientated and re-mobilized, our institutions re-structured, our constitution re-modified, and our ethics and attitudes re-examined and re-refined. Of course this is a responsibility for all and not one exclusively incumbent upon a single person, but the push, pressure and plans to imlement all that noble deeds must come from the present leadership. This depends on capability, credibility and content. The credibility and capability of a new president is always revealed in his first moves – his problem-solving skills, his attitudes of how well he gets things done, his courage to take tough decisions, his integrity of how he takes actions to clean the messy things that he inherited from his predecessor, his readiness of how he listens to those who are knowledgeable about the reality on the ground, the quality of the people he selected as his teamwork, how he fulfills his promises he made in his inauguration presidential day? Muse Biix’s problem-solving skill as a president is still under observational test. He has just cleaned feminine gender domination from the presidential palace. He has also appointed his cabinet, with whose credentials and qualifications are questionable. His talent, if there is any, and skill for problem-solving will be known to all of us when we see his tactics and technics to create job opportunities for the unemployed youth. Muse Biixi’s integrity to clean the messy things he inherited from his predecessor is in fact questionable. He has not taken any legal action against the people who withstood the ugliest things that governance can throw at Somaliland people. All of them went out unpunished. Which raises the question: Why every new Somaliland government declines to bring those who stole the public wealth to the book? Does this mean that there is a standing agreement that no administration has the authority to account the one before? Politicians always make many promises during election campaigns. Every candidate promises the sky but none could fulfill their promises. Of all his promises, the most urgent one is justice, should Muse can make it prevail. If the mutual adjustment of power sharing equation will not be fulfilled, there is a likelihood that division over how to defend and define Somaliland soverignity will arise. How could Somaliland believe that their leaders are aware of what the country needs when most of them are not even brooding the past, leave alone they are to ensure that the future is safe? Attempts to push today back to yesterday are too dangerous at this day and age, and especially as they concern government affairs and reworking of human resources, where the price of a single error is irreversible catastrophe. Whether Somaliland will ever have presidents or parliamentarian members with transformational qualities, who can lift the country up and organize its people in a way that no othere leaders have or could in recent memories, remains to be seen.

Ambassador Mohamed Ali Nur I was at a restaurant in Mogadishu in 2014 when a man approached me and unexpectedly confessed to having been part of the gang that attacked my home in Mogadishu in 1992 in which my 18-month-old daughter, Yasmin, was brutally killed. The man then fervently and remorsefully begged for my forgiveness, saying the matter had troubled him for many years. Initially, I felt so much anger with memories of my lifeless daughter flooding back to my mind. I felt like killing him on the spot to revenge my daughter’s death. But after some moments of silence, I felt some calm return to my heart. I then told him I had forgiven him. The man hugged me and we both couldn’t hold back tears. Immediately after the incident, I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt whole again. This personal incident, if nothing else, strengthened my conviction about the need for reconciliation to heal Somalia. No doubt, Somalia is making modest progress in rebuilding itself from the destruction wrought by decades of catastrophic civil war but the crucial agenda of grassroots truth, justice and reconciliation is not receiving the attention it desperately deserves. The civil war not only precipitated the meltdown of state institutions and destruction of infrastructure and the economy, but also the unravelling of the social and cultural fabric of the country. Without deliberate efforts to rebuild the shattered trust and goodwill and address deep-seated grievances between individuals, families and communities at the grassroots level, reconstruction efforts will not be sustainable and durable. Somalia is one of the few countries in Africa with a homogenous population that shares language, religion, bloodlines and culture but the widespread violence, human rights violations and injustices during the civil war exacerbated social divisions and disharmony mainly along clan lines. Until now, not much has been done to repair those relationships, build bridges and address underlying grievances thus eliminating common spaces for dialogue, accommodation and coexistence. There have been many conferences since the early 1990s ostensibly to bring about reconciliation between various segments of the Somali population but they have hardly had any impact in the grassroots. This is partly because the initiatives have largely been dominated by politicians and clan leaders, including warlords, without much involvement of the people in the grassroots who should be the main drivers of such initiatives in a bottom-up way. In fact, the conferences have been more about power-sharing between clan leaders than fostering genuine grassroots truth, justice and reconciliation. Searing The searing impact of the Somali civil war has been so widespread that it is difficult to find a Somali national who is not nursing deep-seated grievance and trauma due to the killing of loved ones or loss of property or dignity. That’s why the time for Somalia to have its own indigenous process of truth, justice and reconciliation is long overdue. ALSO READ: Al Shabaab IDPs accuse State of denying them food The process will give space to the people to explore the full extent of the crimes and violations that occurred in the civil war and continue to occur; come to terms with the pain, anger and grief as well as look into appropriate avenues of justice, compensation, forgiveness and reconciliation. When the incident was reported by local media, similar incidences also emerged in various parts of the country. That’s why since then I have been keen to use that personal story with a hope of promoting grassroots reconciliation in Somalia. However, there is a pressing need for a more structured process so that the Somali nationals can explore the dark past together and come to terms to it. Somalia can benefit from the experiences of countries such as Rwanda which deployed traditional methods of justice and reconciliation to address the aftermath of the 1994 genocide. Somalia too has rich traditional and religious systems that can be tapped to successfully address to rebuild the shattered social fabric in the war-torn country. Before Somalia can take its rightful place in the community of nations, it must bravely face and address the horrors and dark corners of its history during the civil war through a grassroots truth, justice and reconciliation process.

Murtida Caawa : ” MEEL NABDI TAAL BAA, NARUURO LEHOO, NAFTU U HILOWDAA ”

Former Commerce and Investment minister under president Silanyo’s administration, Hon. Omar Shuaib has become preoccupied with the growing of his commercial fruit and vegetable farming which locates in the outskirts of the port city of Berbera. The former minister who was excluded from council of ministers after his party won the presidential polls said that he is encouraging local farming production. Mr. Shuaib told Horn Cable TV that he planted onions, tomatoes and the papaya. Most of former cabinet ministers are idle after the incumbent president has excluded from the council of ministers. Most of them have gone abroad while the rest waste their time in tea shops and have Khat sessions. The ex-minister said that the only obstacle that he faces is that he lacks agriculture knowledge. He urged the government to improve the knowledge of farming community in Somaliland.

By Caroline Kenny, CNN Updated 1801 GMT (0201 HKT) January 12, 2018 Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump on Friday denied describing certain nations as “shithole countries” during a meeting in which he rejected a bipartisan deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. He also denied demanding that Haitians be removed from negotiations about protected status for people from certain countries. “The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made – a big setback for DACA!” Trump tweeted. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2018 White House spokesperson Raj Shah did not deny the “shithole” remark on Thursday evening, but instead said in a statement that Trump “is fighting for permanent solutions that make our country stronger by welcoming those who can contribute to our society, grow our economy and assimilate into our great nation.” Trump later tweeted Friday morning that he “Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said ‘take them out.’ Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings – unfortunately, no trust!” — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2018 A source familiar with the meeting told CNN’s Jake Tapper the President did not refer to Haiti as a “shithole” country but Trump did ask why the US needs more Haitians and pushed to “take them out” of the deal. In a separate part of the conversation about the diversity visa lottery, the source said, Trump referred to people coming from Africa as coming from “shithole countries.” Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, who was briefed by Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin and a fellow GOP Senator who attended the meeting, confirmed that version of events to CNN. Durbin, a key negotiator in DACA talks, recounted the meeting on MSNBC Friday, saying, “He said, ‘Haitians. Do we need more Haitians?’ Then he went on and started to describe the immigration from Africa that was being protected in this bipartisan measure. That’s when he used these vile and vulgar comments, calling the nations they come from ‘shitholes.’ The exact word used by the President. Not just once but repeatedly. That was the nature of this conversation.” Separately, Durbin told reporters he had not seen a single news report about the President’s words that was false. “I’ve not read one of them that’s inaccurate,” Durbin said. “He said these hate-filled things and he said them repeatedly.” DACA protects hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children from deportation. Trump on Thursday rejected a pitch from a bipartisan team of senators on a compromise immigration deal to protect DACA participants while increasing border security. “Why do we want all these people from ‘shithole countries’ coming here?” Trump told senators in the Oval Office, according to a source briefed on the meeting, the comments from which were first reported by The Washington Post. Tweets threaten deal Trump’s denial came among a series of other tweets in which he defended his immigration stance. “The so-called bipartisan DACA deal presented yesterday to myself and a group of Republican Senators and Congressmen was a big step backwards. Wall was not properly funded, Chain & Lottery were made worse and USA would be forced to take large numbers of people from high crime…..,” Trump tweeted. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2018 He continued: “….countries which are doing badly. I want a merit based system of immigration and people who will help take our country to the next level. I want safety and security for our people. I want to stop the massive inflow of drugs. I want to fund our military, not do a Dem defund…. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2018 “….Because of the Democrats not being interested in life and safety, DACA has now taken a big step backwards. The Dems will threaten ‘shutdown,’ but what they are really doing is shutting down our military, at a time we need it most. Get smart, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2018 He also said: “Sadly, Democrats want to stop paying our troops and government workers in order to give a sweetheart deal, not a fair deal, for DACA. Take care of our Military, and our Country, FIRST!” The tweets suggest that Trump is interested in a system that would only accept individuals from certain countries and backgrounds in exchange for a DACA deal — as well as a much more substantial border investment than one year of funding and technology upgrades the lawmakers had presented. Democrats have made clear they would not consider some of the suggestions and the demands risk exacerbating already tense talks as both sides are entrenched in negotiating position. While some Republicans hope to gain leverage by dragging out negotiations and increase the risk that DACA recipients could lose status and even be deported, advocates have made clear to Democrats they should feel empowered to reject a deal that benefits DACA immigrants at the expense of scores of others and their families. Trump’s agreement has always been essential to any immigration deal. Sen. John Cornyn, the No. 2 Senate Republican, reiterated on Thursday after the White House meeting that a deal would only move for a vote with a clear message from the President that he would sign it. This story has been updated to reflect Sen. Dick Durbin’s most recent comments and additional reporting. CNN’s Tal Kopan and Lauren Fox contributed to this report.
