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.

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam in close snapshot (Photo: Bassem Abo Alabass) Egypt’s Minister of Irrigation Mohamed Abdel-Ati said on Sunday that participants in the tripartite ministerial meeting held in Cairo to discuss a preliminary studies report on the regional impact of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam have failed to reach a consenus, state-run MENA news agency reported. The focus of the meeting, which was attended by ministers from Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia, was the introductory report on planned technical studies of the dam’s potential impact on Egypt and Sudan, according to Minister Abdel-Ati. The studies, which will be carried out by two French firms, Arterlia and BRL, were proposed to begin in late 2016, but reqiure an agreement on methods from the three governments before they can begin. The minister added that Egypt approved of the initial report on Sunday, though Ethiopia and Sudan demanded major amendments to the proposed studies. Egypt has previously expressed concern over ongoing delays in the approval of the technical studies given that Ethiopia is continuing the construction the dam. The 6,000-megawatt Grand Renaissance Dam, which is slated for completion this year, is situated near Ethiopia’s border with Sudan. Ethiopia hopes it will be able to export electricity generated by the dam, which upon completion will be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa. Egypt, however, has expressed concerns that the dam might reduce its share of Nile water. Ethiopia maintains that the dam will not have any negative impact on Egypt or Sudan. Ahram Online

Unrecognized breakaway state holds first presidential vote in 7 years By: Hassan Istiila HARGEISA–Nearly 900,000 voters in the unrecognized country of Somaliland are going to the polls on Monday to elect a president following a week of campaigning. Polling began at 7 a.m. (O400GMT) and is expected to end at 6 p.m. (1500GMT) with results to be announced within a week. More than 873,000 people have registered to cast their vote on Monday’s at 1,600 polling stations across the territory. More than 25 years ago, after a ferocious civil war, north-west Somalia broke away from the rest of the country and declared itself independent. Somaliland is not officially recognized as a sovereign state, but it has achieved relative stability since it declared independence in 1991. High stakes Polling stations were crowded from the early hours of the day, with some voters queuing from dawn. The government of President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud “Silanyo”, is stepping down — so the stakes in this election are high. Three candidates are vying to replace Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo, the current head of state — Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Irro (Waddani party), Faysal Ali Warabe (UCID party), and Muse Bihi Abdi (Kulmiye party). All parties have claimed confidence in the election procedure, and the transition is expected to be peaceful. Sixty international observers from 27 countries have been invited to oversee the elections by Somaliland’s electoral authorities. AA

DROP a pin on a map of eastern Africa and chances are it will not land on a healthy democracy. Somalia and South Sudan are failed states. Sudan is a dictatorship, as are the police states of Eritrea, Rwanda and Ethiopia. President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has ruled uninterrupted since 1986, and plans to remove a constitutional age limit so he can cling on longer. Elections in Tanzania have never ousted the Party of the Revolution (and its predecessor), which has governed since independence in 1961. Even Kenya, once the region’s most vibrant and competitive democracy, is struggling. Last month Uhuru Kenyatta was re-elected president with 98% of a preposterously flawed vote. In this context tiny Somaliland stands out. On November 13th citizens of this internationally unrecognised state will elect a president in what is expected to be its sixth peaceful, competitive and relatively clean vote since 2001. This unparalleled record makes it the strongest democracy in the region. How has this happened? A peculiar history helps. Somaliland was a British protectorate, before it merged with Italian Somalia in 1960 to form a unified Somalia. It broke away in 1991, and now has a strong sense of national identity. It was one of the few entities carved up by European colonists that actually made some sense. Somaliland is more socially homogeneous than Somalia or indeed most other African states (and greater homogeneity tends to mean higher levels of trust between citizens). A decade of war against the regime of Siad Barre in Mogadishu, Somalia’s capital, reduced Somaliland’s two largest cities to rubble, yet produced a flinty patriotic spirit. And the Somali National Movement (SNM), which led the fighting, cultivated an internal culture of democracy. Its leadership changed five times in nine years, and transferred power to a civilian administration within two years of victory. But it is the absence of international recognition that may matter most. Muhammad Haji Ibrahim Egal, the president of Somaliland from 1993 to 2002, argued in 1999 that recognition would be dependent on the country’s pursuit of democracy. He proceeded to devise a constitution that was put to a popular referendum in 2001. For fear of encouraging other separatist movements in the region, the international community, following the African Union, has never obliged. But rather than stunting democracy in Somaliland, this response ensured that democratisation moved from the bottom up. Donors often impose democratic reforms on African countries as a condition of financial aid. Since unrecognised Somaliland is cut off from most external assistance, the social contract between government and citizens has become unusually strong. Democracy evolved out of a series of mass public consultations—clan conferences—which endowed it with an unusual degree of legitimacy. The system’s most striking feature is the upper house of clan elders, known as the “Guurti”, which ensures broadly representative government and underpins much of the country’s consensual political culture. Somaliland’s democracy is by no means spotless. Corruption is endemic, and the media are seldom critical. The influence of the clans has been muted but not eradicated. And elections are repeatedly delayed. The vote on November 13th was overdue by more than two years, and all branches of government have now outlived their mandates. The lower house has sat for 12 years and counting; the Guurti has sat unelected since it was formed in 1993. And there may be even bigger challenges in the future. In the past year Somaliland has signed agreements with the United Arab Emirates to build a new port and a military base at the coastal town of Berbera. The former, valued at over $400m, is the country’s largest-ever investment deal. Nation-building on a shoestring helped keep Somaliland’s politicians relatively accountable, and helped to keep the delicate balance between clans. But this may not be the case for much longer.

Can better weather information help Ethiopians better deal with unpredictable weather? By Elias Gebreselassie ARGOBA, Ethiopia, Nov 13 – Armed with a spear and undeterred by the intense sunlight, Tarekegn Kareto meticulously plucks weeds in his maize field in Argoba village, in southern Ethiopia. “With both dry weather and unusually heavy rains hitting us in the past year, I’ve lost over half of my harvest of maize and sorghum,” he said, pausing to wipe sweat off his forehead. “That means I’ve had to dip into my crop reserves – which I can no longer sell for extra income – or even rely on neighbours’ charity for food,” he added. Prolonged drought and erratic rainfall across the country have hit harvests and livestock, eating into farmers’ and herders’ income and meals, experts say. In the second half of 2017, at least 8.5 million Ethiopians needed urgent food aid, up from 5.6 million in January, according to an August report by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. To remedy this, a project hopes to help Ethiopian herders and farmers access weather information to make more informed decisions and better absorb climate shocks. It has set up 25 automatic weather stations across Ethiopia’s Afar, Somali, and Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ (SNNP) regions, which supply weather data to relevant government agencies and local communities. The initiative, led by aid agencies Farm Africa and Mercy Corps, is part of the Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Extremes and Disasters (BRACED) programme, funded by the UK Department for International Development. The data helps herders and farmers predict the availability of water and grass for grazing, and allows government agencies to predict and track extreme weather events. “Although Ethiopia already has automated weather stations, populations in these remote regions have little to no access to climate information,” explained Dereje Agize, programme coordinator at Mercy Corps. Tsegaye Ketema, head of developmental meteorology at Ethiopia’s National Meteorological Agency, said that “with millions of Ethiopians in need of food aid due to very dry weather, access to reliable climate information can literally be a life saver”. Setting up weather stations in rural areas is part of the government’s Climate Resilient Green Economy strategy, which aims to achieve self-sufficiency in food by 2025. RELIABLE CLIMATE INFORMATION Ethiopia is particularly vulnerable to extreme weather, said Kareto, explaining that “in recent years I’ve witnessed several droughts during what was supposed to be rainy seasons and heavy rainfall at periods which are supposed to be dry”. That makes it difficult to know what to plant and when, he added. Getu Guleya, chief administrator of Derashe woreda – an Ethiopian term for district – explained that “weather volatility in our area is a big challenge, even contributing to communal tensions and food insecurity”. Worsening drought has created increased competition for resources and land between ethnic groups, which can result in deadly conflict, he said. The BRACED project aims to prevent this by providing communities with regular and reliable climate information. The Ethiopian met agency, which runs the weather stations, uses the weather data to share local information on air temperature, rainfall and wind direction – among other indicators – and produce regular climate reports. The forecasts are then broadcast on community radios in local languages, which break down the technical terms into information that’s easier to understand. Guleya hopes that timely weather information will “reduce the need for pastoralists to migrate or raid neighbouring communities in search of food and pastures”. MANAGING LIVESTOCK BETTER Through the radio broadcasts, the programme also encourages farmers and herders to diversify their sources of income and better manage their livestock. Ketema believes “it is better to have a smaller flock of healthy livestock that you can rely on as a livelihood, rather than a large number of starving livestock that’s hard to maintain”. “With timely climate information, you can prevent animals dying by stocking up on feed ahead of drought, for example,” he said.

What happens when leaders fail to serve the people that elected them to the position of trust? The answer is simple:Leaders fail to lead. There is a quote that says,”The measure of man is what he does with power.” Another one says, “We are made wise not because of the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.” Such quotes are substantiated by the thought like history judges leaders on their handling of the national interests, not on their passion for power and privileges. The credibility of any leader is revealed by what legacy he leaves behind for his country at the end of his term. This brings us to the question of :What kind of legacy President Siilaanyo would leave behind? It is not a surprise to us that many leaders don’t spend enough time thinking about their legacy _ what they will leave behind for the country and the people they serve and lead. A leader’s credibility is the result of two aspects:What he or she does (competency) and who he or she is (character). A discrepancy between these two aspects creates an integrity problem. The highest principle of leadership is integrity. When integrity ceases to be a leader’s top priority —that is the moment when a leader steps onto the slippery slop of failure. Question: Has Kulmiye government served as an example of integrity and loyalty to S/land country and the people? A lack of focus and its resulting disorientation typically lead to poor communication. The staff can’t possibly understand a leader’s intent when the leader isn’t sure what it is! And when leaders are unclear about their own purpose, they often hide their confusion and uncertainty in ambiguous communication. An underlying clarity of purpose is the starting point for all effective communication. A leader is to be absolutely clear about his or her plans and purposes. Question:Did the executive head of S/land state have close communication with his own administration and the people that elelected him? Was it poor or good? A leader creates a vision and then develops a plan to achieve it. He ensures how his vision become a reality. A Leader makes sure that the work needed to deliver the vision is properly done by himself or either by high ranking officer to whom he delegates the task. Question:How Kulmiye government envisioned S/land future? Have we ever seen any creative ideas within Kulmiye? A leader must have courage to choose the right people to the right positions at the right time. He must make good decisions and delegate tasks to his staff and hold them accountable for their actions. Question: How could it be possible to happen that no one among Kulmiye administration is held accountable for his/her actions? Does this mean that all government officials are infallible of mistakes when we all know that there is unrestrained political corruption? Leadership roles are many. The power to make politics and policies is the main role for which a leader is elected. This power, and the need to control it define the basic principles between those who govern and those who are governed. The need to control leadership power arised when government officials operated outside of basic common rules that promote order, integrity and honesty. The more public officials rationalize cheating and violating moral values, the more it becomes a culture of dishonesty and betrayal. In order to stop this vicious, downward cycle, citizens demand government to explain and justify publicly the way it exercises its powers, and to take prompt corrective action when things go wrong. Political and social responsibility is measured in terms of improving human conditions and environment. But moral responsibility goes further, reflecting the need to address fundamental ethical aspects and issues such as integrity, inclusion, dignity and equality. The need to control political power is used as a means of holding public officials accountable and fighting corruption and abuse of power. The question is why? Since citizens grant sweeping powers to governments to spend, and make and enforce policies and laws, the function of accountability and transparency has become the key essential ingredients in democracy. Accountability is answerability and serves two purposes. It’s political purpose is to check the might of the government. It’s mechanism is to control the abuse of power. It’s operational purpose is to help ensure that government operates effectively and efficiently. Transparency, in a government context, is honesty and openness. It is a mechanism to know how government utilizes national resources and how much money it spends on enterprising projects. There is no argument that countries that grow by reflection are those that have good governance, and good governance comes from good leadership. It comes from ending corruption, from eliminating nepotism, and from a society that has the courage to say: this politician is corrupt, this administrator, or this public official is a crook. The image of Somaliland as a state is somewhat weird. This country is misgoverned by corrupt politicians elected by ignorant people. It’s social structure is divided by tribalism. Its economy is weakened by unrestrained political corruption. Its politics has become a business, somthing that puts money into one’s pocket. The investigation of truth is in one way hard and in another easy. It is hard when we take things as they are imagined rather than as they are in real truth. It is easy when we tell what we know. Assumptions are what wears our minds out. The truth is that Somaliland has become a country where it is easy to corrupt power, easy to violate the laws, easy to abuse authority, easy to get rich and amass opulent wealth through illegal procedures, easy to cheat weak people out of what is rightfully theirs and easy to loot public properties. Somaliland is, to call the spade a spade, a country of unrestrained political corruption, and is now locally and internationally known as a Kleptocracy, literally meaning “Rule by thieves.” In conclusion, Siilaanyo and his Kulmiye administration will leave behind a bleeding polity, a bleak house, a broken country, and a bunch of scared people that never know exactly what they share in common and where they are heading to.
