File photo: Reuters Related Stories 'Back from the gates of hell' Happy to be home Kidnap couple relish Durban Debbie Calitz says was raped by her captors during her 20-month hostage ordeal in Somalia, a report has said. Speaking to the Daily News in Durban on Wednesday, Calitz and her partner Bruno Pelizzari, who landed in South Africa almost two weeks ago, relived aspects of their capture. Calitz said the most harrowing part was the kidnapping. “It was like a dream,” she said. They described how they were taken hostage after their yacht, SY Choizil, skippered by Peter Eldridge, was hijacked off the Kenyan coast en route to Richards Bay from Dar es Salaam in October 2010. Eldridge was later rescued. “Bruno was asleep and I had finished my shift. Peter just started his shift when I saw three speedboats. From a distance they looked like whales,” she said. “Peter took one look and knew they were pirates. He went downstairs and made a Mayday call. Within a minute the leader was aboard, pointing a bazooka at me.” About five other men also boarded, wielding AK-47 assault rifles, she said. Cellphones, money and jewellery were demanded, in that order. Calitz said each pirate had about six cellphones. The third boat, which she described as a “supply” boat, arrived with rice, beans, milk and sugar. “I asked for a cup of food for Bruno and myself. It was nice, it tasted like rice pudding.” The couple and the skipper were held on the SY Choizil for about five days before being taken to an island where they said they were interrogated and assaulted. Calitz said a woman and a girl had been present for a while. The woman seemed to have some clout with the pirates, she said. “When they started to beat me, I told her to take the girl away. She spoke to the men in Somali and they stopped.” The couple told the Daily News that before their release the couple wore whatever they had on the day they were captured. For Pelizzari it was jeans, a T-shirt and baggies. Calitz had a bikini and a thin cotton dress, which turned to rags in the first few months of their capture. At one stage, the couple were separated and Calitz’s bikini was taken from the bathroom, she said. “I was naked all the time.” Shying away from certain questions, Calitz, who claimed she was raped by her captors, said more would be revealed in a book they were planning to write about their ordeal. In their almost two years in Mogadishu, Somalia’s largest city, the couple said they were moved – blindfolded – about 17 times. Calitz said she bore no grudges: “They were young enough to be my children, I can’t hate them. They don’t know any different.” Pelizzari said some pirates appeared to be friendly, but they had a rule not to speak to the hostages for more than a minute at a time. “Some were ruthless, but others would sneak us a banana or something now and again,” he said. “I don’t know if it was part of their plan.” The couple said their only link to the world – and a source of entertainment – was the oil-drenched newspaper wrapping their meals. “We’d read whatever news we could find and do the cryptic crosswords in our heads,” he said. “Being in a dark room all day, forced to whisper, and no stimulation was horrible. We needed something to occupy our minds.” The couple also said that pink flip-flops and tarot cards are all that they had kept from their ordeal. Pelizzari said: “This is all I have from that time. We didn’t want to keep anything.” Calitz revealed a set of tarot cards made with scraps of paper. “This was the third set we made. We made it from an old school book and pencil Bruno found in a rubbish heap. “The first set was made out of a sanitary box and charcoal. That was confiscated. We made a second pack from a calendar hanging on the wall, but that too was taken. I’ll never get rid of these,” she said. Calitz told the Daily News that she would accompany Pelizzari to Dar es Salaam soon to fetch his boat, but that she would fly back. She said her children refused to let her sail again. Details about their release, who had played an instrumental role in freeing, them may never be revealed. Spokesman for the Department of International Relations, Clayson Monyela, said: “Nothing more will be said on the matter. Security matters are not for public consumption.” - IOL

  3. United Nations to Freeze Corrupt Somalia Politicians' Assets by Katharine Houreld Sunday, July 15, 2012 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Corrupt Somali politicians could face travel bans and have their foreign assets frozen under tough new United Nations sanctions, a U.N. official said Tuesday, a move that analysts said could also help get desperately needed food aid to the country's growing number of famine victims. A team of eight investigators is due to begin work this week. It's the first time senior Somali politicians could face consequences for corruption in the 20 years since the country dissolved into civil war. The country's justice system has virtually stopped functioning and there has been no system to hold politicians in the famine-struck Horn of Africa nation to account. "Corruption has been identified as one of the main obstacles to the peace process," said Matt Bryden, who heads the U.N. arms monitoring group on Somalia, which provides an annual report to the U.N. Security Council. "This sends a clear signal that corruption and political obstruction will no longer be tolerated." The monitoring group was set up 10 years after an arms embargo was imposed on Somalia in 1992, when hundreds of thousands were dying from famine and the country was in the grip of a clan-based civil war. The group's mandate was to report anyone selling weapons to fuel the conflict. In 2008, the U.N. decided it should be able to punish violators by imposing sanctions that include travel bans and freezes on assets such as bank accounts and property. The list of possible sanctions was expanded the same year to include anyone obstructing access to humanitarian aid. That's a huge problem in Somalia, where Islamist militant groups have denied many aid agencies access to territory they control and militias in areas controlled by the U.N.-backed government steal and sell food. In July, the sanctions mandate was expanded again to include corruption and those blocking the peace process. The new mandate came at the same month famine was declared in parts of the country. Tens of thousands of people are estimated to have died and the U.N. says 750,000 are at imminent risk of starvation. Now, Bryden said, anyone could be sanctioned for threatening peace and security or for blocking or stealing humanitarian aid or government funds. "Our investigations will help the sanctions committee ensure that violators are held accountable," he said. "These sanctions are most effective against those with an international profile — those with foreign passports, with foreign bank accounts, and those who travel." On the potholed streets and among the bullet-riddled buildings in the capital, Mogadishu, there's little to show for the tens of millions of dollars donated to the Somali government over the past two years. The mayor has put up a few streetlights and international aid agencies fund a few trash collections. But schools, hospitals and roads are in a state of advanced decay. Somalia has the world's highest child mortality rate. Nearly one in five children will die before their 5th birthday. More than 70 percent of Somalis don't have clean water and the country is regularly rated the most corrupt in the world by international watchdog Transparency International. The poor performance of the government is one reason why the population turned to Islamist militias in the first place. But if the threat of sanctions helps improve their performance, an analyst said, it could help win the government support. "This new mandate has the potential to be very useful," said Ken Menkhaus, a political science professor who specializes in Somalia at North Carolina's Davidson College. "What the Security Council had in mind was to make the (government) more accountable and more legitimate in the eyes of the Somali people." It could also help force through humanitarian aid to those who need it, he said. Around 200,000 of the 750,000 at risk of starvation live in government-held areas, he said, but "we are having problems making sure aid is getting through to them because of corruption and interference and diversion." The Somali government did not respond to requests for comment. It recently proposed a joint watchdog with donors to track funding and corruption but the agency has not yet been set up. Many Somali ministers have dual nationality or assets abroad. The new prime minister, defense minister and minister of finance are all American citizens. Other Cabinet members are British or Canadian passport holders. Source: AP

  5. Haweenay u dhalatay dalka Koonfur Afrika oo muddo 20 bilood ah ay afduub ku heysteen Kooxo burcad badeed Soomaali ah, ayaa sheegtay in dhalinyaradii heysay ay faro-xumeeyeen. Debbie Caltiz oo u dhalatay dalka Koonfur Afrika ayaa bishii lasoo dhaafay dhamaadkiisii laga siidaayey afduub ay ku heysteen kooxo burcad badeed Soomaali ah kadib muddo 20 bilood ah. Debbie iyo nin u dhashay dalka Talyaaniga oo lagu magacaabo Bruno Pellizari ayaa bishii Oktoober ee sanadkii 2010kii, ay kooxo burcad badeed Soomaali ah kasoo qafaasheen meel u dhaw jasiirada Madagaskar, ayagoo wata dooni nooca raaxada ah ee loo yaqaan Yacht. Debbie iyo Bruno ayaa kamid ahaa laheystayaashii wakhtiga ugu dheeraa gacanta ugu jiray kooxaha burcad badeeda Soomaalida. Kadib markii horaantii bishaan July ay dalka Koonfur Afrika gaareen labaanahan ayaa waxaa soo baxayey warar la xariira habkii ay ulla dhaqmeen kooxda heystay labadan qof oo hada dib ulla kulmay eheladooda oo muddo dheer kala maqnaayeen. Debbie oo markii ugu horeysay ka hadashay falalka ay kula kaceen burcad badeeda ayaa tiri: “…Haa way I faro xumeeyeen dhalinyaradii na afduubatay, laakiin wax danbi ah uma heysto, sababtoo ah waxay ahaayeen dhalinyaro la fil ah caruurta aan dhalay, mana aheen dhalinyaro wax badan kala garaneysa…” “…Dharkii bay iga qaateen oo qol madow bay na geliyeen intii aan afduubka ku jirnay…” ayey tiri Debbie oo haweenay da’a ah, waxayna intaasi ku dartay inaysan hada dooneyn inay dib uga fekerto dhibkii ay soo martay balse ay dooneyso in mustaqbalka ay buug ka qorto. Haweenaydan iyo ninka laga afduubay ee Bruno ayaa lagu wadaa inay buug kasoo saaraan wixii ay la kulmeen intii afduubka loo heystay. Dowlada Koonfur Afrika ayaa ayadu horey dadaal u gashay siideynta labadan qof, sidoo kale Dowlada Talyaaniga iyo DFKMG ayaa la sheegay inay iska kaashadeen soo siideynta labadan qof, wallow aan illaa iyo hada la shaacin in kooxda burcad badeeda la siiyey lacag madax furasho iyo cadadka lacagtaasi. Maaha markii ugu horeysay oo ay kooxaha burcad badeeda qafaashaan dad ajaanib ah iyo haween, balse waa markii ugu horeysay oo qof haweenay ah oo la afduubay ay sheegto in kooxaha burcad badeeda faro xumeeyeen intii ay afduubka ku heysteen.
