Kenya attacks raise worries Somalia's Al Shabab are reorganizing Some analysts view recent Al Shabab attacks inside Kenya as a sign that the Somalia-based militant group is adapting to an African Union campaign against them. Christian Science MonitorBy Fredrick Nzwili | Christian Science Monitor – 3 hrs ago An Africa Union military campaign to eliminate Al Shabab, an Al Qaeda-linked Somali militant group, has gained ground. But Al Shabab's fighters are adapting and finding space to reorganize into small attack units, some analysts say. Last Saturday, one of these heavily armed units crossed into Kenya and launched coordinated attacks on two police camps in Liboi district. Six people including two police officers, a Red Cross official, and 15-year-old boy were killed in the night attack. Soon after, Al Shabab spokesman said the group had overrun the camps. “A small unit of Mujahedeen raided Kenyan base, early last night taking over the base killing 8 Kaffur and injuring more than a dozen,” Al Shabab said on their Twitter account. The militants said they had also captured two Kenyans and seized guns in the attack which injured scores of others. RECOMMENDED: Think you know Africa? Take our geography quiz. Since October 2011 when Kenyan troops entered Somalia to pursue the group, 30 attacks have occurred in the cities of Nairobi, Mombasa, and Garrissa. But the claim of responsibility, after a rare silence, has alarmed security officials. In September 2012 Al Shabab was expelled from Kismayu, its logistical and economic base, a development that disrupted its operations, says David Samba, a former military officer, but that did not end the threat. The group also lost key cities and towns, but it continues to control many rural villages, where it implements a strict form of Islamic law. On Sunday, Police Inspector General David Kamaiyo confirmed the attack by Al Shabab and said six people were still missing. The army rolled in chase, soon after the officer promised Kenya would pursue the attacks. REORGANIZATION Al Shabab is finding space to reorganize says Simiyu Werunga, the executive director of the African Centre for Security and Strategic Studies, a Kenyan based think-tank for public safety and security. The militants had escaped areas they formerly controlled after being routed out of Kismayo, but the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) – now part of the African Union Mission for Somalia (Amisom) – and are developing new local relationships, according to Mr. Werunga. “For some time now, they have been looking for strategic space to reorganize. It appears they are finding some among the communities. We need to look seriously into this issue, we need to know whether the people, the forces, are providing medicines and water [and] are affording them space,” says Mr. Werunga. But Col. Cyrus Oguna, the KDF spokesman, says the militants still stand disrupted after losing Kismayo, their main source of income and their logistical base. “What we are witnessing are isolated cases,” he says. Meanwhile, Human Right Watch has accused the police of committing atrocities and abuses against refugees after grenade explosions in Nairobi. In a 68-page report released Wednesday titled, "'You are All Terrorists': Kenyan Police Abuse of Refugees in Nairobi," HRW said at least 1,000 Somali refugees were abused and arbitrarily detained between mid-November 2012 and late January 2013. The abuses included rape, robbery, and assault and had followed a government order for all urban refugees to relocate to Dabaab, the overly-crowded camp in northeastern Kenya. "Refugees told us how hundreds of Kenyan police unleashed 10 weeks of hell on communities close to the heart of Nairobi, torturing, abusing, and stealing from some of the country’s poorest and most vulnerable people," said Gerry Simpson, senior refugee researcher for Human Rights Watch. "The humiliation and fear that asylums seekers and Kenya Somalis went through was extraordinary. Having been abused there is a permanent sense of fear among them." HRW wants Kenya to immediately open an independent public investigation, and the United Nations refugee agency – which has not spoken publicly about the abuses – to document and publicly report on any future abuses against refugees.

After decades of war, Somalia is taking small steps toward recovery, but breakaway regions, rival clans and the competing interests of neighbouring nations are threatening its fragile progress, analysts warn. In the past two years, African Union troops have wrested town after town from Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab insurgents, hauling down their black Islamist banners and raising Somalia's flag. But asserting the authority of the central government -- which until recently controlled just a few blocks of the capital Mogadishu -- is a far harder task. "In Somalia today there is only one federal government that is wholly owned by the Somali people, widely represented by all Somalis, all regions," Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud told reporters this week. But others disagree, including powerful militia forces backed by foreign armies. The worst flashpoint is the far southern region dubbed "Jubaland" bordering Kenya and Ethiopia. Both nations have troops there after invading in late 2011, while this month several rival warlords declared themselves "president", sparking anger in Mogadishu. But the effective self-appointment of former Islamist chief Ahmed Madobe, one of the most powerful of the "presidents" due to Kenyan backing, risks opening a rift between Nairobi and Mogadishu. "The effort to create a Jubaland state within Somalia will test the limits of federalism in that country, and threatens to touch off clan warfare not only within Somalia but also in its neighbours," the International Crisis Group warned in a recent report. Jubaland, which includes the key port city of Kismayo, has a lucrative charcoal industry, fertile farmland as well as potential off-shore oil and gas deposits. Addis Ababa, long term experts in playing off powerful factions, is wary of Madobe, who hails from the same O'gadeni clan as rebels fighting inside Ethiopia. -- Infighting benefits Islamist insurgents -- However, Mogadishu's government -- selected last year by clan elders in a UN-backed process and the first to be recognised internationally in more than two decades -- is full of confidence. "Any one group within Somalia that just gets together sits there and says, we are 'XYZ', has no legitimacy and has no recognition at local level and at international level," said Mohamud. But international recognition counts for little within Somalia, and central rule is controversial. The last to claim control was Siad Barre, toppled in 1991 after a rule marked by repression of opposition and a bloody civil war against Somaliland. Years of anarchy meant Somalis reverted to age-old systems of autonomy and traditional semi-nomadic camel herding. Somalia split into regions, from fiercely independent Somaliland along the Gulf of Aden, to Puntland in the northeast, which recognises a federal government but says that has no role in its internal affairs. Analysts warn of tough political times ahead. While AU troops backing Mogadishu have enjoyed territorial success, Roland Marchal, an analyst with French research institute CNRS, notes the fighting force lacks a "political strategy to go with the military strategy". Kenya's army, which invaded in 2011 alongside Madobe's allied troops, faces a particularly sticky predicament. In 2012, its cash-strapped military joined the AU force -- funded by the UN and European Union -- leaving its soldiers backing a warlord opposing the central government it is mandated to support. Mogadishu lawmakers have submitted a motion demanding Kenya leave Somalia, while Mohamud said Kenyan troops "misbehaved" when a top level government delegation went to Kismayo and "did not treat the committee well". Ambitions by central government have highlighted internal divisions within regions. Tensions in Jubaland have raised concern in Puntland, which swiftly welcomed Madobe's election by calling on other regions "to establish states in a similar consultative and open process". Puntland has been keen to stake out power boundaries, with its oil agency chief Issa Farah warning Mogadishu it alone is the "competent authority" to manage the region's oil exploration. Mogadishu's inability to "exercise its authority over the Kismayo process is undermining its influence in the remaining regions of Somalia and the emerging arrangements towards federalism," warned Andrews Atta-Asamoah of the Pretoria-based Institute of Security Studies (ISS) in a recent paper. At present, the only thing all appear to agree on is that the rivalry benefits the Shebab, still in control of swathes of countryside. East African heads of state last week urged Somalia hold a "reconciliation conference", warning infighting could "threaten peace and stability". Yet many also eye the economic, strategic and political profits of the region. Kenya wants a security buffer zone to protect its valuable tourism industry, a proposed major port and hopes of offshore oil and gas finds. It also hopes stability would let it send back the half a million Somali refugees it hosts. Landlocked Ethiopia has long played a powerful role in Somalia, with Kismayo offering another possible route to the sea. Yet Mogadishu remains upbeat, mindful its position today was unthinkable a few years ago. "Somalia is fragmented, it's divided into regions, clans, groups," Mohamud said. "The current Somali government is busy with rebuilding and organising to have one Somalia."

Passerby the Showans have ruled Ethiopia for a long period of time and they might return to Meneliks palace in the form of their Ginbots.They have never really accepted the TPLF agenda.

A strong Powerful Ethiopia is never in our interests.

Passerby Somalia and Somaliland have little political disagreements about their future relations. You should not read to much into it , there is no nationalism on my part for Somalia i wish them all the best luck next to Somaliland. i am just talking about the long term interest of the region for my people Somaliland Including my people under Ethiopia. Who wish to be free Passerby now dont come and say u care about Somalia We know the TPLF dont like Somalia at all and they helped tear it apart by funding all of the warlords.

Passerby are you scared the showans come back in Ethiopia and force you out of Addis ababa Jubbaland is not going any where President hassan has everything under his control. There is little the Kenyans can do now :

Ethiopia caused us lots of problems since the beginning of times and if we wish to succeed and if you want Somalis to prosper than that Ethiopian Empire must disintegrate by any means necessary. Kenya is a different story Ethiopia is to Huge its one of the largest countries in Africa much of their resources coffee is in southern and oromo regions including the fertile land in Benishangul-Gumuz. If Ethiopia separates into several countries where oromia and sidamo people can become independent countries. You can still establish trade relations with them on separate terms and they can still use your ports and we still can get allot of revenues maybe even more depends how many countries use our ports.These new countries can separately grow faster right now Ethiopia is not prospering only Tigray TPLF elite are prospering, the rest is in the deepest poverty. By the way Ethiopia is 90 million people demographically they will dominate the region, but if they are separate countries.We have nothing to worry. I am not against a prosperous east Africa i am for it.

^^ They once wrote that the SNM clans turn into werewolves at night

A strong Ethiopia is never in the interests of Somalis. A weak Ethiopia is in the interests of Somalis the best we can expect is if Ethiopia disintegrates in the future. You can still trade with them as separate countries and still make the best of it from an economic point of view. A united strong Ethiopia will have hegemony over the region which is not in our long term interests. Ethiopia is overrated my friends its weak nation do not fall for fancy constructions in the capital. Its the aid money they received Ethiopians are still poor and there is huge unemployment and health care is in a critical situation. Ethiopia looks good compared to Somalia because Somalia is on the lowest of the food chain. Reeyo Ethiopians have invaded Somalia they helped oromo militia who are allied to the TPLF gain more Somali galbeed territories. They have subjugated the Somalis in the Somali galbeed region. Ethiopia funded the warlords against each other they prolonged the Somali civil war. Trust me Ethiopias demise is in our interest

Canada expels Eritrea envoy over expat fees claims BBC News Thursday, May 30, 2013 Canada has ordered an Eritrean envoy to leave the country following claims he demanded contributions from expatriates to fund Eritrea's military. Semere Ghebremariam Micael, head of the Eritrean Consulate General in Toronto, has been under investigation for the practice.It is in breach of both UN sanctions against Eritrea and Canadian law, the Canadian government said. Mr Micael has been given until on 5 June to leave. Warned previously " Canada has taken steps to expel (declare persona non grata) Mr Semere Ghebremariam O Micael, consul and head of the Eritrean Consulate General in Toronto, effective immediately," Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said in a statement on Wednesday. "Today's actions speak for themselves," he added. The dispute centres on the African nation's efforts to impose a 2 per cent "diaspora tax" and "national defence" fee on Eritreans living abroad. The UN Security Council toughened sanctions against Eritrea in December 2011 over its alleged support for Islamist militant groups such as Somalia's al-Shabab. The sanctions include a block on remittance tax imposed on nationals overseas. Mr Michael has previously been warned against collecting funds from Eritrean expatriates living in Canada. The consul said it would comply with the Canadian government's ruling in September. But recent reports said Mr Michael had again started demanding the payments. "You have to go to the consulate and they arrange how you have to pay the money," one Eritrean in Toronto, who asked not to be named, told Canadian broadcaster CBC. "They want 2 per cent… they don't give you a reason. You have to pay the money," he said. "My family [in Eritrea] would get in trouble if I don't pay." Mr Michael has denied breaking the law, saying he was merely providing "information" to those who want to donate, according to Canada's National Post.

Carafaat faroole is in bed with the enemies of Somalia.

Hiiraan wants to be divided into 2 regions, thats the issue here , they want to be part of the federal state using their own region.

Whats with koonfurians and their obsession with Flags, they use their flag when ever it suits them and wrap themselves with it by the way they all have tribal flags to on the side. They don't really care much what happens to Somalia in the political sense nor do they care about where its heading. Yet they act they care about nationalistic flags:D

^^ Somali form of federalism weyee dee. meesha ma sharci ba jira nin walba dastuur gaar bu haysta:D Thats the beauty of Somalia
