NAIROBI, Kenya, May 19 – Police have announced a Sh 1 million cash reward for anyone that will offer information leading to the arrest of a major terrorist facilitator, Francis Macharia Kirashu. According to a statement issued by the National Police Service on Friday, Kirashu has been aiding terror suspects crossing into the country, mostly from Somalia, by printing fake identity cards for them. The suspect, who operates a business by the name Paste Printers at a building located along Nairobi’s Luthuli Avenue from where his accomplices were arrested, is also said to be engaged in printing of fake title deeds, birth certificates, and academic papers. “Kirashu’s accomplices in the fake document syndicate – Lydiah Nyawira Mburu and John Maina Kiarii have since been arrested and charged with forgery of official documents contrary to section 351 of the Penal Code and facilitating activities of terrorist groups contrary to section 9 (1) of the Prevention of Terrorism Act (20120),” NPS Director for Corporate and Communication Affairs, Charles Owino said on Friday. Kirashu, according to Owino, is said to have processed four fake Kenyan identity cards – two of which were used by terror suspects arrested in Meriti, Isiolo in February – while readying to stage a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) attack in Nairobi. The two, Abdimajit Hassan Adana and Mohamed Nane, used the fake documents to cross into Kenya from neighbouring Somali. The hunt for Kirashu comes at a time when a heightened alert was issued regarding terror threats in the country since the start of the Holy month of Ramadhan. The NPS Inspector General, Joseph Boinnet, has however assured that security has been beefed up to preempt terror threats while further asking members of the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) – Leaders in Minnesota’s Somali business community are responding to questions about suitcases of cash leaving on flights out of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The community members gathered Friday morning to call out Minnesota politicians for bills that could impact how Somali immigrants send money to their families abroad. This all stems from Fox 9’s report of massive fraud in the state’s daycare subsidy program for low-income families. Multiple government sources believe as much as a $100 million of taxpayer money is being ripped off. They have tracked some of the money going overseas. Sources told Fox 9 suitcases stuffed with as much as a $1 million in cash are leaving on flights from MSP on a regular basis. It’s all legal, as long as the courier fills out government forms. Immigrant communities use these types of money transfers in order to help support relatives in countries with no official banking system. What got the attention of state and federal investigators was the increasing volume of cash leaving MSP: $14 million in 2015, $84 million in 2016, and more than $100 million last year. They believe some of that increase is coming from rampant fraud in the state’s childcare assistance program. Ten, mostly Somali-owned daycares, are currently under investigation. But some community leaders say there’s another reason for the increase in carry-on cash. “The fact is the Muslim community in Minnesota is growing in wealth, they’re growing in size, and that’s an easy way to explain that story,” said Jaylani Hussein, the executive director of CAIR-Minnesota. According to multiple government sources, some of the money transfers are going to parts of the Middle East where terrorist groups are active. These sources believe as the money passes through, some is being skimmed off by those organizations. The owner of a Minnesota money transfer business acknowledges this method of sending funds can be risky. “We don’t want them,” said Abdiaziz Sugule of the Somali American Money Services Association. “It’s dangerous for us, it’s risky, but we don’t have other solution to do this.” After 9/11, rules changed making it harder to wire money to places like Somalia. Local Somali leaders say they want to work with lawmakers to find a better solution than carry-on cash, but right now, it’s one of their only options. Source: – Fox9

After forming a tripartite port development agreement with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Ethiopia, the Government of Somaliland, which is yearning to gain an international recognition, has made arrangements to commence the construction of new port facilities at the Port of Berbera. During a visit to the Port of Berbera – 154 kilometers out of the capital Hargeisa – Ali Ismail Mohamed, head of port operations with the UAE based DP World Group told Ethiopian journalists that the new tripartite port development project is set to take effect. “The construction of the first phase begins in September and bids will be awarded to potential developers,” the operations head said. As per the timeline, the port project is expected to be finalized by 2020. The port facility, which currently has the capacity to handle 150,000 container port traffic (TEU: 20-foot equivalent unit), is expected to expand into handling one million TEU of 20 and 40-foot mixed units. The Somaliland Port Authority has already consolidated port management operations and let DP World acquire positions in the management and operational activities at the existing port facilities. The USD 442 million port, according to Mohamed and his team, will be developed in two phases. During the first phase of development, both Mohamed and Allan Sanchez – project operations manager with DP World at the Berbera Port – said that a 430 meter berth is expected to be constructed which will accommodate two vessels at any given time. The overall expansion project will bring about a total of 800 meter wide berth that can dock five ships at a time. The existing port facility accommodates five major vessels on a 650 meter long berth. In case of Ethiopia’s involvement, it is hard to find out how the government is taking part in the development activities. Given its 19 percent stake at the port, Ethiopia looks at shipping some 30 percent of its import/export trades. Close to 10 percent of the total volume of shipment will be directed to Port Sudan. Some 95 percent of the country’s international trade currently passes through the Port of Djibouti. The expansion project as commentators argue not only provides port services but creates additional milestone in the struggle for recognition as an independent nation. However, the project is seen as a threat by the Somalia and Djiboutian authorities. Somalia opposed the project claiming it has violated its sovereignty while Djibouti didn’t like Berbera Port becoming a potential contender as it takes a considerable share of volume from what it currently enjoys. According to the tripartite agreement, DP World holds on to a 51 percent share and Somaliland remains with 30 percent stake. Back in 2016, the initial deal was signed between UAE and Somaliland; that the former agreed to develop and manage the port with its own financial coffers. Somaliland will not be required to contribute in financial terms as the land and the seaport it availed is considered as an investment in kind. When asked what it means to have a 19 percent stake at the Berbera Port? Mekonnen Abera, director general of the Ethiopian Maritime Authority said that such details will not be necessarily disclosed for the time being. It is unclear whether Ethiopia’s willingness to provide electricity to Somaliland is part of the port project deal. Mekonnen commented on a road project Ethiopia built that stretches to the border of Somaliland and this should not be mixed with the port project agreement. He stressed that the road projects are separately considered as parts of trade routes and corridors for development. As the expansion of the Berbera Port weighs in, the existing port has become instrumental in handling general and containerized cargos. Somaliland has already built a container strip close to the ship main yard named Wuchale. It was named after a historical place in Ethiopia. Some of the general cargos which the Berbera Port handles include 25,000 tons of food aids. According to port officials this volume is expected to climb to 40,000 tons this year. By Birhanu Fikade
