The Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Defence Front (EPRDF), the country’s ruling coalition is facing an internal crisis which has led to Members of Parliament (MPs) belonging to two main blocs – the Amhara and Oromia, boycotting parliament, the BBC Africa Live page has reported. The coalition in a statement released on Wednesday admitted that it was facing gradual ‘mistrust and suspicion’ among the four main blocs. OPDO, ANDM, TPLF and SEPDM. Twenty four later, members of the Oromo People’s Democratic Organization (OPDO) and the Amhara National Democratic Movement (ANDM) boycotted parliament calling for Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn to give an explanation on escalation in recent deadly violence. The statement according to local media sources went on to assert that a weakness of the executive arm was responsible for the current state of affairs. It said the ‘weakness of the executive’ had contributed significantly to the deteriorating security across the country. The other two EPRDF parties are the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Southern Ethiopian People’s Democratic Movement (SEPDM). The coalition holds 100% seats of the parliament. Ethiopia’s three-pronged security crisis The security situation in Ethiopia is a mix of anti-government sentiment on one hand, ethnic clashes affecting two major regions and a deadly turn of events across some universities in the Horn of Africa country. Most universities affected by serial deaths of students have closed down due to a lack of conducive atmosphere for studies. The government has said that the deaths were politically inclined and that it was doing everything possible to remedy the situation. Then last week, sixteen people were reportedly shot in the town of Chelenko in the Oromia region. The regional communications chief blamed it on federal security forces who opened fire on protesters unhappy about the killing of a resident. The government says it has opened a probe. Then there is the border tensions between the Oromia and Ethiopia-Somali regional states. An escalation in the age-long tension late last week led to the deaths of 61 people on both sides. Scores were also reported to have been injured, houses burnt and hundreds internally displaced.

U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison on Thursday called for investigations into reports that federal immigration agents have mistreated 92 Somalis who were shackled for 2 days on a botched deportation flight. Ellison, a Democrat who represents Minnesota’s 5th District, home to a large Somali-American community, said constituents contacted him “to express grave concern about alleged human rights abuses of 92 Somali nationals while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in transit through Dakar, Senegal” from Dec. 7 to Dec. 9. The flight left around 3 a.m. on Dec. 7 from Louisiana, but the detainees never made it to Somalia. They were returned to Miami around midnight on Dec. 8. Some of those on the flight said in a lawsuit that agents physically and verbally abused them during the flight, which lasted for 40 hours, including 23 hours when the flight was on the ground at an airport in Dakar. As the plane sat on the runway, the 92 detainees remained bound, their handcuffs secured to their waists, and their feet shackled together for 48 hours, according to the lawsuit. Seven men who filed the lawsuit on behalf of their fellow Somali detainees, who are now in detention centers in Florida, allege that when the plane’s toilets overfilled with human waste, they were left to urinate into bottles or on themselves. They say agents allegedly restrained them, kicked them and dragged them down the aisle. Calling the abuse reports “profoundly disturbing,” Ellison said he’s pressing the agency to explain: • Why the plane returned to the U.S. • “Why were individuals with medical needs not allowed accommodations for their health, such as the detainee with diabetes who was not given access to his medication?” • “What disciplinary actions will be taken against the ICE officers who struck and choked detainees or otherwise used excessive force during the tarmac delay, given that all detainees were wearing restraints and could not pose a threat to the officers?” The immigration enforcement agency says the abuse allegations are untrue and that no one was injured during the flight. Those being deported on the charter removal flights were restrained for the safety of those on board, the agency added, noting that 61 of the 92 detainees on the flight had criminal convictions, including homicide, rape, and aggravated assault. To explain the botched flight, which baffled immigration lawyers, the agency said in a statement relief flight crew was “unable to get sufficient crew rest due to issues with their hotel in Dakar.” It added that “various logistical options were explored, and ultimately ICE decided to reschedule the mission to Somalia and return to the United States with all 92 detainees.” The detainees were scheduled for deportation on Wednesday but got a temporary reprieve Tuesday when a federal judge in Florida blocked their deportation to Somalia. U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles set a two-week emergency stay of removal and ordered the government to provide the detainees “with adequate medical treatment for any injuries they have sustained.” Gayles extended the emergency stay on Thursday until Jan. 8 at 10 a.m. Source: MPR News The post Ellison wants probe of abuse claims from Somali deportation flight appeared first on Caasimada Online.

Concern worldwide photographer Kieran McConville A LIMERICK city man’s images played an important role in raising vital funds for aid agency Concern Worldwide, which helped save thousands of children’s lives in Somalia. Concern photographer, Kieran McConville, took photographs of a severely malnourished five-year-old girl called Yasmiin Hassan on March 15 this year. They were used in Concern’s ‘East Africa Appeal’ which raised more than €1.5 million. That money helped Concern staff treat children like Yasmiin and return her from near death to a smiling, healthy child, who is still visited by the charity’s staff to ensure she remains in good health. Kieran said he was “delighted” when he saw images that clearly show the recovery Yasmiin made just 12 weeks after he saw her in such an emaciated state. Five year old *Yasmiin at Concern Worldwide’s nutrition center in Mogadishu, Somalia“I met Yasmiin when she was at her lowest ebb, but the beauty and energy of a five year old were still there deep down,” he said. “What our team in Mogadishu have done for her is just brilliant – and they’ve been doing this for thousands of children this year. “They are simply amazing and so are the Irish public, who have been really generous in their support. At a time when the people of Somalia are dealing with so much darkness, this is a glimmer of light.” Yasmiin smiling with her mother three months after treatmentConcern Worldwide has heaped praise on the people of Limerick and the rest of the country for helping save the life of Yasmiin and other children in war-ravaged Somalia through their generous donations. Yasmiin – one of 1.1 million Somalis forced to flee their homes due to conflict – weighed the same as an average two-year-old when she was brought to a Concern nutrition centre on the outskirts of Mogadishu in March. Her condition was so bad, her mother, Aamiina, believed she would suffer the same fate as one of her brothers, who sadly died with similar symptoms at a time when they had no access to a health clinic. However, after 12 weeks of treatment, Yasmiin made a full recovery and Concern’s health and nutrition team maintain contact with her to ensure she remains healthy. Carol Morgan, Regional Director Concern Worldwide“Life and joy returned to her eyes,” said Concern’s Regional Director for the Horn of Africa, Carol Morgan. “She increased her weight from 12.4kg to a healthier 16.7kg – and measurements of her left upper arm also confirmed an improvement to her health. “It brings immense joy to the staff when you see the recovery of children we care for like Yasmiin. The staff know they saved that child’s life. “Her smile is a great relief just weeks after being in such an emaciated state. It is truly heart breaking to see any child malnourished. “You see an emptiness and loss of happiness in their eyes. They stare ahead at nothing, not focusing on anything. They don’t play and have no energy – so it is such a relief to see them recover.” The East Africa appeal followed the severe drought across East Africa that left an estimated 20 million people facing starvation. Concern treated 53,425 children aged from birth to five for malnutrition in Mogadishu and the Lower Shabelle regions of Somalia between January and October this year. The aid agency said the number of children it reached in the country in 2017 was three times higher than the amount of children reached in 2016.

Dr. Axmed Cali Dahir Xeer ilaaliyaha guud ee Qaranka ayaa shalay ka horyimid go’aankii lagu siidaayey Siyaasiga Cabdiraxmaan Cabdishakuur Warsame oo lagu soo eedeey fal dambiyeed Qiyaano Qaran iyo Qaran dumis. Xeer illaaliyaha ayaa ku dooday in dacwadooda ay u cuskadeen labada qodob oo kala ah 36 iyo 58 ee xeerka ciqaabta dalka Soomaaliya. Sidaan horey ugu soo sheegnay maqaalkii aan ka qornay dacwada ka dhanka ah CC Warsame, waxaa jiray caqabado badan oo dhanka sharciga ah oo ka horimaanayey kiiska xeer illaalinta maadaama aysan heysan wax Waaran (Warrant) ah oo ay maxkamada ku fasaxeyso xariga Siyaasi Cabdiraxmaan Cabdishakuur iyo Baaritaanka gurigiisa. Xeer-illaalinta si caqabadahan ay uga gudubto ayey cuskatay labada qodob ee xeerka ciqaabta oo kala ah 36 iyo 58, sida uu Xeer illaaliyaha guud ku xaqiijiyey shirkiisii jaraa’iid ee shalay. Dhageyso: Shirkii Jaraa’iid ee Xeer illaaliyaha Axmed Cali Dahir https://www.caasimada.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Xeer-Illaaliyaha-Eeda-CCWarsame.mp3Hadaba maxay kala yihiin labadan qodob ee kala ah 36 iyo 58? Qodobka 36aad- Flagrante Delicto Qodobkan waa mid ka hadlaya in ciidamada booliiska ay soo qaban karaan shaqsi markaasi faraha kula jira danbi iyagoo aan wax Waaran ah ka heysan maxkamada, waxaana qodobkan loo yaqaan (Flagrante Delicto). Waxaana loo isticmaalaa sida dadka Khamreysan oo wadada maraya, qof horey baxsad u ahaa ama jabiyey sharuudo horey maxkamada u xukuntay, qof sita hub sharci daro ah ama Qarax iwm. Doodan ayaan Garsooraha Maxkamada u cuntamin maadaama Cabdiraxmaan Cabdishakuur aan lagu soo qaban wax danbi ah oo uu faraha kula jiray sida ku qeexan qodobkaasi, balse xeer illaalinta ayaa mala-awaal ka dhigtay inuu faraha kula jiray dumin Qaran taasina kumeysan guuleysan cadeynteeda inay horkeenaan Maxkamada. Qodobka 58aad– Baarista Guri ama Goob la tuhmay (Waaran La’aan) Xeerkan waa mid ciidamada “booliiska” u fasaxaya inay sameyn karaan baaritaan iyagoo aan heysan (Waaran), balse waxaa shardi looga dhigay in baaritaankan loo maro xeerka 24 oo sheegaya in booliiska ay dadka su’aalo weydiinkaraan, baaritaana sameyn karaan hadii aysan ka gaarin maxkamada Waaran ka helaan. Awoodan ayaa booliiska la siinayaa oo kaliya hadii ay jirto xaalad deg deg ah, sida hadii qof horey baaritaan ugu socday laga baqayo inuu burburiyo cadeynmo muhiim ah ama laga cabsi qabo inuu baxsado. Waxaase shuruud looga sii dhigay in inta aysan hawlgalka dhicin laga rabo ciidanka booliiska inay fariin u diraan ama wargeliyaan Xeer illaalinta iyo waliba Maxkamada ku shuqulkaleh. Kadib markii ay baaritaanka sameeyaan ayaa laga doonayaa in ay si deg degleh maxkamada u horgeeyaan natiijada baaritaankooda. Cadeyn La’aan Xeer illaalinta maxkamada ma horkeenin sababihii ku khasbay inay baaritaanka guriga sameeyaan iyagoo aan maxkamada xataa wargelin, waxay sidoo kale xeer illaalinta ku guuleysan weyday inay soo bandhigto wixii ay kusoo qabatay baaritaankaasi ee xoojinaya tuhunkooda ama danbiga eedaysanaha lagu heysto. Arrintan ayaa ku khasabtay in Garsooraha Maxkamada uu laalo dacwadan isagoo cuskaday siduu qabo sharciga iyo Waliba Shariicada Islaamka Suurada Nuur (ciidamada iska galeen guri aan loo fasixin ama lagu casumin). Racfaan La’aan Garsooraha wuxuu diiday wax racfaan ah maadaama wadooyinkii ay u mareen hawlgalka ciidamada iyo xeer illaalinta ay maxkamada wax kama jiraan kasoo qaaday (null and void) sida sharciga uu qabo. Xeer illaaliyaha guud Axmed Cali Dahir Xeer oo shalay la waydiiyey sababta ay cadeymaha u horgeyn waayeen maxkamada ayaa ku dooday in kiiskan uu yahay kiis culus oo wakhti dheer qaadan kara, ayna xaq u leeyihiin inay wakhtigooda qaataan, doodaasi oo sharciyan ah mid aad u daciif ah.

“Waxaa guul ah in innagii martida naloo ahaa aan sharciga wax ku raadino, halka kuwii martida noo ahaa ey xoog wax ku raadinayaan” Waa hadalka uu C/Raxmaan C/Shakuur ku baabi’iyey waxkasto uu ku helay dulmigii loo geystey. Ilaa shaley dad ku celcelinaaya warkaas oo u tiirinaaya C/Raxmaan C/Shakuur waan arkaayey. Laakiin waxaan sugaayey inaan dhegeheyga ku maqlo, maanta ayey ii suurto gashay inaan maqlo. Waxaan rabaa C/Raxmaan C/Shakuur inaan u sheego arrimahan: 1- Dadka diiday dulmiga, dalbayna sharciga in waxkasto loo maro ma aheyn hal qolo ee waa inta waxgaradka ah oo waddanka u damqanaya. Badankoodana ma fiirinin qofka la dulmay yuu yahay, balse mabda’a ayey ka diideen. 2- Dadka aad ku tilmaantey in loogu yaqaan mise lagu sheekeysto inay xoog wax ku raadiyaan ma ahan dadka xamar u dhashey ee waa dadka duullaanka ku ah oo aad ogtahay, Marka ha isku qasin. 3- Caasimadda waddanka qof marti ku ah mise marti loo yahay ma jirto, haddiise aad ka waddo beelaha aan u dhalanin, adiga ayaa ugu horeynaayo oo marti ku ah. 4- Dowladda marna marti ma noqoneyso, xitaa dadka waqtigaas talada haaya aysan u dhalanin caasimadda mise Koofur. Maxaa yeelay dowladda ma ahan qofka xukunka heysta oo keliya. 5- Waxaa ayaan daro ah in adigoo raadinaaya inaad ummadda Soomaaliyeed madax u noqoto, haddana weli maskaxda ay kaa guuxeyso in dad marti ah iyo dad marti loo yahay ay jirto. 6- Biseyl siyaasadeed oo badan ayaa kuu dhiman haddii weli aadan ka bixin aagga ku tiirsanashaha beeshaada. Tani waxba kama bedeleyso mawqifkeygii hore oo aan si cad ugu diiday dulmiga laguu geystay maxaa yeelay markii horeba shaqsi ma ahayn waxaan daafacayey ee wuxuu ahaa inaan kasoo horjeedo qof muwaadin ah in lagu takrifalo xuquuqdiisa.

Soomaaliya waxa ay maraysaa marxalad muhiim ah oo ay dib uga soo kabanayso qalalaaso iyo burbur baahsan oo qaatay ku dhawaad 30 sano, waxana jirta yididiilo iyo rajo weyn oo laga qabo in dalku uu dib lugihiisa isugu taago. Dhibaatada xilliga dheer qaadatay ee ku habsatay qaranka Soomaaliya, waxa ay saamaysay nolosha muwaadiniinta Soomaaliyeed oo dhan iyo danaha ummadeed ee aynu leenahay, mana jirto cid ku niyadsan waxa uu dalkeennu soo maray haddii aanay ahayn dhinacyo dano gaar ah leh oo laga yaabo inay ku faa’iideen oo ku hodmeen sharci la’aanta dalka ka jirtay, iyagoo ka baqanaya inay dawladnimada oo soo laabata iyaga ay khatar ku tahay. Hase ahaatee, dadka Soomaaliyeed ee samaha iyo nabadda jecel waxa ay ka midaysan yihiin in wadada qura ee ay nabad iyo nolol wanaagsan lagu heli karo ay tahay iyadoo la taageero Dawladda sharciga ah ee dalka ka jirta si danta guud u meel marto. Waxaa marag-ma-doonto ah in rabitaanka wanaagsan ee inta badan dadka Soomaaliyeed ay hirgeli doonto, oo tiro yar ee danleyda ah aysan hor istaagi doonin. Xilliyadii u danbeeyey waxaa jiray shakhsiyaad iyo kooxo soo bandhigayey mucaaradnimo aan qiil iyo sal wanaagsan toonna lahayn, taasi oo ay kaga soo horjeedaan Xukuumadda talada haysa iyo hoggaanka qaranka, waxana muuqata in mucaaradnimadooda inta badan laga maalgeliyo dalka dibaddiisa, waxaase ayaan darro ah in madax u dhaaratay qaranka Soomaaliyeed ay qayb ka yihiin qorshahan khiyaamada qaran ah ee dalka lagu manjo xaabinayo, isla markaana, meel ku dhac ku ah haybadda dawladnimada Soomaaliyeed. Madaxdaas oo waa yaabe ka tirsan labada gole ee Baarlamaanka oo ah halkii ay waajibka ku ahayd in laga difaaco rabitaanka shacabka iyo dawladnimada. Waxaa guul weyn ah in dadka Soomaaliyeed oo runtii waaqica la socda ay faham durugsan u leeyihiin shakhsiyaadka iyo dhinacyada mucaaradka ah ee iyadoon sanad ba gaarin is hortaagga ku samaynaya waxqabadka iyo hannaanka geeddi-socodka nabadda iyo dawlad dhiska ee haatan socda ee ay garwadeenka ka tahay Xukuumadda Ra’iisul Wasaare Xasan Cali Khayre. Waxaa xusid mudan, in bulshada caalamku qirsan tahay waxqabadka iyo hufnaanta madaxda talada haysa ee Soomaaliya, lana aamini karo xukuumadda iyo madaxda qarankeenna. Shaki kuma jiro in inta shaqo socoto ay jirayaan qalad iyo gafaf la gelayo, laakiin waxa ay noqonayaan kuwo wax laga barto, waxaana looga gudbi karaa isu tanaasul iyo in miiska wada-hadalka la wada fariisto. Waxaa jirta dad aan doonayn inay wadahadal wax ku raadiyaan, maxaa yeelay waxay fahamsan yihiin in dooddoodu aysan qiil lahayn oo aan lala shir tegi karin. Mucaaradka Xukuumadda Ra’iisul Khayre waxa ay u muuqdaan kuwo qaab hayb beeleed u abaabulan, waxana damac kaga jiraa kursiga Ra’iisul Wasaaraha, iyagoo wax walba u samaynaya sidii ay meesha uga saari lahaayeen Xukuumadda si toodu u meelmaro. Madaama ay xilli cayiman xilka hayn doonto Xukuumaddan Ra’iisul Wasaare Khayre, waxaan kula talin lahaa dhinacyada mucaaradka siyaasadeed ah inay sugaan markooda, oo aysan sumcadda iyo mustaqbalkooda siyaasadeed xumayn, isla markaana ay u turaan nabadda iyo dawladnimada Soomaaliya, maxaa yeelay Soomaaliya ma qaadi karto qalalaaso siyaasadeed iyo daganaansho la’aan joogta ah oo qof walba saamayn karta. Waxaan ku soo gaba-gabeynayaa dawladnimadu waa teedka iyo darbiga ugu muhiimsan ee umadduhu ku naaloodaan, kana reebban isbarbaryaac. Isqabqabsiguna waa astaamaha ugu horeeya ee lagu garto dawlad xumida iyo fashilka dawlad wanaagga. Umadaha qadarinta iyo tixgalinta ku leh nolosha, waxay ku tiirsan yihiin nidaam dawladdeed oo u taagan aayo ka talintooda. Dhammaan xadaaradaha lajanto ee dunida ka hanaqaaday waxa hormuud ka ahaa dawlad han iyo higsi leh, Soomaalidana waxaa la gudboon iney iska daayaan is-qabqabsiga dhexdooda oo u istaagaan sidii horumar iyo iskutashi waara loogu heli lahaa dalka iyo dadka Soomaaliyeed. Allaah ayaa mahad oo idil iska leh, nabadgalyo iyo naxariisina Nabigeena Muxammad ah korkiisa Allaha yeelo.

Hargeisa — IOM, the UN Migration Agency in collaboration with Somaliland’s Ministry of Rehabilitation, Resettlement and Reconstruction, Hargeisa Migration Response Centre (MRC), the Ethiopian Community Centre in Hargeisa, the Ethiopian consulate in Somaliland, Somaliland’s Immigration Department and Somaliland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, assisted 68 vulnerable Ethiopian migrants to return home on 6 December 2017. This Assisted Voluntary Return (AVR) movement was supported by the Regional Mixed Migration Program funded by the US Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (BPRM). After the 68 migrants were selected, IOM contacted the Ethiopian consulate in Hargeisa to carry out a nationality screening exercise and issue travel documents. The men, women and children were provided temporary shelter, food and onward transportation assistance to their final destinations upon arrival in Ethiopia. IOM missions in Hargeisa and Ethiopia worked together to verify their final destinations. The returnees were flown to Addis Ababa and received at the Bole International Airport by IOM Ethiopia on the same day. “The IOM AVR programme is an indispensable part of a comprehensive approach to migration management aimed at orderly and humane return of migrants who are unable or unwilling to remain in host or transit countries and wish to return voluntarily to their countries of origin,” said Fesial Mohamud, a Project Officer with IOM Somalia’s Migrant Assistance Division. There has been an increase in the number of Ethiopians deciding to return home in the recent past, according to the Hargeisa MRC database. The database also reveals that Ethiopian migrants who move to Hargeisa hoping to improve their economic status often opt to return home due to economic and social challenges. Between January and November 2017, IOM Somalia through the Hargeisa Migration Response Centre (MRC) received over 230 applications for AVR from Ethiopians residing in Hargeisa. Many of the applicants were single mothers and the elderly who said that they would have found it difficult to make the trip home without support. IOM

Filippo Grandi expresses his gratitude to Kenya for hosting almost half a million refugees and keeping its borders open to people fleeing war. During a visit to a women’s centre in Dadaab, Kenya Grandi reassured refugees of UNHCR’s continued support. © UNHCR “This commitment of Kenya must be matched by the international community.” NAIROBI, Kenya – WEBWIRE – Friday, December 22, 2017—UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi has expressed his gratitude to Kenya for continuing to host almost half a million refugees and keeping its borders open to people fleeing war. In a meeting with President Uhuru Kenyatta, Grandi received assurances that as the Somali refugee repatriation programme progresses, no refugee will be returned against his or her will. “At a time when many other countries are closing their borders and adopting restrictive measures, Kenya is continuing to host refugees,” Grandi said. “This commitment of Kenya must be matched by the international community with humanitarian and development funding as well as increased resettlement places, university scholarships and other opportunities.” “This commitment of Kenya must be matched by the international community.” The Somali refugee crisis is now entering its 27th year and Grandi said that as long as Somalia remains fragile, many refugees will remain apprehensive about returning home. Nevertheless, he noted that a significant number of refugees are deciding to return. So far this year, over 35,000 refugees from Dadaab refugee camp have moved back to Somalia under UNHCR’s voluntary repatriation programme, while over 18,000 have registered to leave. Since December 2014, over 73,000 refugees from Dadaab have returned voluntarily to Somalia. “These refugees are hopeful, and have made informed choices,” Grandi said, pledging continued support from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency in providing them with reintegration assistance upon arrival in Somalia. In Kismayo, Somalia, where most returning refugees from Dadaab have settled, Grandi met families who had lived in refugee camps in Kenya and Djibouti for two decades. Although the families were concerned about security, they expressed joy about shedding their refugee status and determination to contribute to rebuilding their country. UNHCR, together with the American Refugee Committee, is building simple settlements for returnees in greatest need of housing, and providing vocational training to help them find work or create businesses. On a visit to Dadaab on Tuesday, together with Ahmed Hussen, the Canadian Minister for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Grandi spoke to refugees who were trying to decide whether to remain in Dadaab or return home to Somalia. Both Grandi and Hussen visited the repatriation ‘help desk’ where UNHCR carefully verifies the voluntary nature of their decision. While meeting refugees, Grandi appealed for stronger international efforts towards stabilization. “Somalia continues to need international efforts to help rebuild infrastructure and to create security conditions for refugees to return,” he said. During his visit, Grandi heard from Somali refugees about their challenges and hopes for the future. He also met with local authorities and host community leaders. “It’s useful for me to be here to learn and hear from you, even as we continue to do our best to support you,” he said, at a meeting with women and girls who are survivors of sexual and gender-based violence in Dadaab’s Hagadera camp. The women and girls displayed artwork they had been trained to make through a UNHCR-funded programme, managed by the International Rescue Committee, that supports vulnerable women. The women, who receive counselling at the center, expressed gratitude for the support they received but asked for more sewing materials so they could sell their wares, citing a lack of sufficient income-generating activities in the camp. “I can assure you that UNHCR and our partners are doing our best to use the scarce resources available to meet the most basic needs,” Grandi said. He expressed his regret that donor support is diminishing at a time when refugees here still require ongoing aid. Receiving Grandi in her modest shelter with a tin roof and a dirt floor, Ladan, a mother of five, told Grandi that conditions were tough. She was relocated after her section of the camp was closed as people left for Somalia. “I struggle to get enough food for my children as the food we used to receive was reduced by half,” she said, referring to World Food Programme’s ration cuts, a consequence of reduced donor funding. Her woes were echoed by other refugees, including community leaders who met with Grandi and outlined the challenges they face in the camps. The leaders cited high numbers of school dropouts and lack of higher education, decreasing opportunities to be resettled to third countries and lack of specialized services for people with special needs as some of their challenges. Grandi listened carefully to their concerns, particularly the need for more university education scholarships and vocational training. He was inspired by 16 high achieving students whom he met with Minister Hussen and had been awarded university scholarships under the World University Service of Canada, but regretted that hundreds of other successful high school graduates would not have the means to continue their studies. The High Commissioner said he would continue to appeal to international donors on their behalf and work with the government of Kenya in realizing President Kenyatta’s pledge to establish a vocational education center in Dadaab for both refugees and the host community. “Our appeal to donors and hosting countries is not to give up on Somali refugees,” Grandi said, noting that the World Bank had allocated US$100 million in loans in recognition of Kenya as a major refugee hosting country. Much of that investment is planned for infrastructure development and environmental rehabilitation programmes in Dadaab. Grandi called for a departure from a dependency model of enclosed camps like Dadaab. He said he was encouraged that Kenya had signed on to be one of the 13 countries that have adopted UNHCR’s new Comprehensive Refugee Response model. “In the future,” Grandi said, “we will strive to adopt an approach that provides both refugees and the host community access to services, while promoting self-reliance and economic opportunities to improve their living conditions and avoid aid dependency.” Webwire

FILE – African Union (AU) soldiers stand with their armored vehicles near a checkpoint on the eve of presidential elections in Mogadishu, Somalia, Feb. 7, 2017. WASHINGTON/NAIROBI — The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) says it needs urgent and reliable funding in order to defeat al-Shabab militants and transfer security responsibilities to the Somali National Army. AMISOM chief Francisco Madeira issued the appeal while talking to reporters in Nairobi Thursday. “We need urgent support. Our troops are ready, but they need to be resourced. This has not been happening to expectations, despite the repeated commitments by partners in different forums,” said Madeira. Madeira warned that lack of funding could endanger the hard-won gains in the fight against militants over the last decade. “A stable Somalia is critical for the stability across the East African region and beyond, and if we do not decisively address the threat of al-Shabab, [the group] will continue to pose a danger,” he said. AMISOM has said it will begin drawing down the number of troops in Somalia ahead of a total pullout in 2020. The first batch of 28 Ugandan soldiers left the country earlier this month. FILE – The U.N. Security Council votes on a resolution concerning Somalia, March 23, 2017. President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed addressed the council via a video link from Nairobi. A recent United Nations Security Council resolution slightly reduced the maximum number of troops to 21,626. Pre-conditions The AU plan for withdrawal set pre-conditions, including the training and equipping at least 30,000 Somali National Army (SNA) personnel with the support of the U.N. and other donor countries. Madeira says it is the time to help the SNA prepare to take the lead in the stabilization process. “It is urgent that Somalia security forces are capacitated to take over the security responsibilities of their country. The integration of Somali National Army needs to happen in urgency,” said Madeira. Mission optimism As the clock ticks towards a new year, AMISOM and the Somali Army, with the help of U.S. military, are preparing for a major offensive to drive al-Shabab militants out of their strongholds in the Juba Valley, the Gedo region and the Middle Juba region. “We look forward for 2018 with great optimism,” said Madeira. Madeira said AMISOM’s 2018 plans include handing over major frontline bases across Somalia to the SNA. But he questioned the viability of these plans without adequate funding and support. “We will work with the Somali National Forces and other stake holders to open unsecure main supply routes, protect strategic infrastructure such as key bridges in order to link population centers and support humanitarian activities. These operations are all subject to availability of adequate support,” said Madeira. On Tuesday, Somali Defense Minister Mohamed Mursal Sheikh Abdirahman said an assessment conducted by the government found that approximately 30 percent of the SNA soldiers do not have weapons. The evaluators said some units also lack medium and heavy weaponry, and some are “undermanned.” Khadar Hared contributed to the story from Nairobi. VOA
