Somali-Canadian artist paints for social change A controversial Somali-Canadian painter, cartoonist and activist unveiled his first Canadian exhibition in Edmonton on Sunday. Known as the voice of Somalis around the world, Amin Amir launched a series of five paintings depicting key moments in his life at City Hall. The works include an image of a young Amir in Somalia drawing with the charcoal he used to fetch for cooking. Another depicts the 50-year-old's wife distracting a group of armed men and saving his life. A third painting shows Amir's family embracing in a Canadian airport. Website attracts 1M hits a month Amir fled Somalia's civil war in the 1990s. He lived in several countries before immigrating to Canada in 2000. He and his family moved to Edmonton in 2006. Through it all, Amir has advocated for political and social change through his paintings and drawings. His website of political cartoons attracts more than a million hits a month. "He's an icon of the Somali community," said fan Moyuadine Nor. "[He tries] to protect most those who need to be protected. "[His website is] really where we seek information — exactly what is taking place back home." It's a political commentary that has put Amir's own life in jeopardy. Amir spoke to CBC News through a translator about death threats he has received. "If you are trying to save a country and a whole nation, you cannot be afraid of the consequences," he said. "Whatever the outcome is, I'm ready." Amir has plans to start an art program to mentor young artists in Edmonton, urging them to illustrate their thoughts and feelings. Champion for Somalis Amir also spends his time painting scenes of a lost Somalia, the country he remembers and hopes to see again. Ali Abdi, a professor at the University of Alberta said Amir is a champion of the Somali people. "His focus is to make the situation of Somalia better," Abdi said. "To make Somalis, but also others, understand what Somalis are going through. "To devote, literally, his life — sometimes at the expense of his own interests and interests of his family — to actually ameliorate and explain effectively what's happening in Somalia so people understand and maybe something good is done." Amir's work will be on display at the University of Alberta's Extension Gallery in Enterprise Square Sept. 2-22. CBC

Running as a Nation Watches FAIRFAX, Va . — In a land where more than 60 percent of the people are nomads, living in the deserts with the cattle, camels and sheep they raise, heroes are in short supply, most of them men of the sword or cloth. In the rare event one of another ilk emerges, it is usually by happenstance and quite unexpected. Abdi Bile Abdi, for example, never imagined he would be perceived in such a lofty manner. He was like any other child growing up in Somalia, a poor nation of more than seven million people, mostly Moslem, on the eastern shoulder of Africa. Even after he left in 1983 to attend school and run track a continent away, he had no sense of how his triumphs would touch his country. Then, he returned home for several weeks, and he was flabbergasted. Everywhere he went, from the capital city of Mogadishu to the small village of Las Anod where he was born, he watched in amazement as his countrymen strained to shake his hand, to touch him, cheering all the while, raising their fists in symbolic gestures of nationalistic pride and triumph. Abdi Bile, as he is known in the West, reviews the scene in his mind again and again and still seems astonished. ''The people were everywhere,'' he said the other day, sitting in the bleachers that overlook the track at George Mason University. ''Wherever I went, there was a big welcome. I expected some, but not exactly how big as this. Just to walk around in the cities and towns and everybody recognizes my face, it was kind of exciting. The people, they gave me back motivation and energy.'' The moment that had touched them came in the long shadows of a September afternoon last year in Rome, the final day of the world track and field championships. With 10 finals on the program, the old Stadio Olimpico pulsated with excitement, and now it was time for the 1,500-meter race. Bile (pronounced BEE-lay), who had run the fastest times in the heats and semifinals, took his place among the 12 finalists. Steve Cram, the former world record holder, was there. So was Jose Luis Gonzales, the Spanish champion. ''I did not know what to expect,'' Bile said. The pace was slow, but time does not necessarily matter in a big race. Cram led at 1,200 meters but Bile caught him and won in 3:36.80, beating Gonzales and Jim Spivey of the United States by more than a second. To that point, most of those in Somalia familiar with Bile's activities knew him only as a good athlete, little more. Soccer is the national passion, not track and field. Long after his victory, he would encounter friends who said: ''Oh, yes, I saw you race on TV. That was a marathon, wasn't it?'' Bile would laugh and tell them, ''I don't run the marathon.'' He didn't mind. When a country has not won a world championship in anything, what possible difference could the distance of the race matter when it finally did? When Bile landed at the Mogadishu airport in December, among those who greeted him was Somalia's President, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Siad Barre. Over the next 25 days, Bile traveled the country in a private plane. Upon arrival, he was driven to the center of each town along roads lined with cheering Somalis. ''It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen,'' said John Cook, Bile's coach at George Mason, who watched videotapes Bile brought back. ''People stood 5 and 10 deep to see him, singing, chanting. You'd have thought he was the Pope.'' Bile's father is called Bile Abdi. He is a nomad who lives outside Las Anod with his cows, camels, sheep, goats and horses. His mother, Hawo Osman, one of Abdi's four wives, lives in Las Anod with a daughter, another of Abdi's 15 children. All Abdi's children grew up in Las Anod, tended to by Abdi's brother, Mohammmed Abdi, a police officer who made sure the children received proper housing and schooling. Bile, now a 25-year-old student in marketing, is the oldest child and, like most Somalis, played soccer as a youngster. He never thought about running until one day, just for fun, a friend coaxed him into running 400 meters with him. Bile finished in 56 seconds, which was not a bad time, considering the track was dirt and he ran in soccer shoes. Two days later, with the coach of a regional team watching, he ran another 400, finishing in 55 seconds. The coach asked him to come back the following week and try again. Bile said no, he didn't like running that much. But his friends talked him into it, and he finished in 53 seconds. ''At that point,'' he said, ''the coach told me not to do anything, take five days off, come back and run again. This time, I ran in 51 seconds. So I went from not doing anything to running the 400 in 51 seconds.'' Bile was 18 years old at the time; the best nonaltitude time at 400 meters then was 44.26 seconds. Still is. His progression from there was furious. Joining the regional team, he competed at 400 meters, then three months later at 800 meters and four months after that at 1,500. By the summer of 1982, as a member of the national team, he ran the 800 and 1,500 in the East African Games and the African championships in successive weeks. He did not especially distinguish himself but he was convinced, with proper training, he could excel. Meanwhile, Bile had developed a friendship with another Somali runner, Jama Aden, who had left the country to attend Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey on a track scholarship. Whenever Aden came home to visit, Bile asked him about the United States, about college, training methods and track facilities. ''He always asked questions,'' said Aden, now a graduate assistant at George Mason. ''He wanted to know about training with me. I told him I would try to find him a school.'' Aden had known Cook from college meets and liked him. Also, George Mason made sense because of its proximity to Washington and the international nature of its population. When Bile stepped off a plane at Dulles Airport in July 1983, Cook had known him only through Aden's descriptions. Within two years, he understood why Aden had raved so much. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Bile's first worldwide competition, he made the semifinals in the 1,500. A year later, he won the IC4A and N.C.A.A. titles. He missed most of 1986 because of injuries but returned last year to win another N.C.A.A. title, the Grand Prix championship at 1,500 meters and then the race in Rome. In movie theaters in Somalia, before the featured attractions, they sometimes show films of Bile's victory in Rome. When he crosses the finish line, people jump to their feet in the darkness to cheer. ''It's funny,'' he said. ''So many people are not really aware of track and field. If I finished second in a time of 3:29, that would not make sense to them. The world championships, that makes sense to them. They understand what it means, winning the world championships.'' Bile is tall and thin, with a circular face and soft features. He laughs easily, and this makes him laugh: Las Anod, which is called L.A. by Somalis, is in a region called Sool. ''So, you see? The '84 Olympics were in L.A. Now, they are in Seoul.'' He shrieks with laughter . [ ] In every other way, he views the Olympics more seriously. He knows they are bigger than Rome, more important, and Somalia has never won a medal. Winning the gold in the 1,500, he said, ''would be the greatest day of my life'' but not only for the obvious reasons. In all of Somalia, a country the size of California with a per capita income of about $300 a year, there is no track. Nor do the schools offer physical education programs. Children run on dirt and grass. So do the regional teams. Because of his victory in Rome, he has noticed that many more young people have shown an interest in running. But without proper programs or facilities, he fears their new enthusiasm might be blunted. ''A lot of people have the potential,'' he said. ''They need someone to encourage them; they need to get facilities. To win a gold at the world championships or the Olympic Games, to be successful, at least they should have a track and some programs.'' For now, he can only help the cause by his performance in Seoul. ''I have the confidence,'' he said. ''If things go well and I stay healthy, I am capable of winning.'' New York Times [Maajo, 1988]

Guess what year this article was published. ___________________ Somali Capital a Grisly Battlefield As Civilians Die in Clan Warfare A week and a half of artillery and rocket barrages in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, have turned the city into a grisly battlefield that has left about 6,000 civilians wounded and possibly more than 1,000 dead, according to aid and medical workers who have returned here in the last few days. "I've been in war for eight years and I've never seen a slaughter like this," said Dr. Sam Toussie, an American surgeon, who was tending the wounded as part of a medical team financed by the United States Government. "We were getting 150 casualties a day at one hospital -- 75 percent were children and we were losing five an hour." Fighting broke out in Mogadishu, a city of about 1.5 million on the Indian Ocean, on Nov. 17 when Gen. Mohamed Farah Haideed tried to unseat the President of Somalia, Ali Mahdi Mohamed. Both men are members of the ruling group, the United Somali Congress, which is dominated by one of the country's major clans, the ****. But General Haideed is a member of a sub-clan of the ****** called the ****, long resented by Mr. Ali Mahdi's sub-clan, the ****. Mr. Ali Mahdi was named president of Somalia earlier this year after insurgents of the United Somali Congress ousted President Mohamed Siad Barre, who ruled Somalia for 21 years, first with the assistance of the Soviet Union and then after 1978, with the help of Washington. Mr. Siad Barre, who is more than 80 years old, fled Mogadishu in January and remains in his home village in the southwest. Since Mr. Siad Barre fled, the people of the **** clan in northern Somalia have declared an independent republic of Somaliland with borders corresponding to those of what was once the colony of British Somaliland. In 1960 British Somaliland in the north joined with the Italian colony in the south to form Somalia, a country of about six million people. Somalia has an unusual religious and linguistic homogeneity for Africa. Most Somalis are Sunni Muslims and everyone speaks Somali. Yet clan hostilities are among the most strongly felt on the continent, differences that were accentuated by Mr. Siad Barre, who played one clan against another. A State Department official said that since Mr. Siad Barre had left, Washington "recognized Somalia as a country" but did not recognize any government, either in the north or the south. No 'Functioning Government' "We do not see a functioning government in Somalia," the official said. The Somali Embassy in Washington was told to close and the American embassy in Mogadishu is an abandoned ruin, he said. Through the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, the United States is financing Dr. Toussie's medical team, as well as supplying food through the International Committee of the Red Cross and other agencies, the official said. The southern part of Somalia has been in virtually continuous clan-based turmoil since the beginning of the year, with the fighting that broke out 10 days ago the most intense since January. Those who have witnessed the latest round in Mogadishu said that suppporters of General Haideed and President Ali Mahdi had divided the city along a north-south axis, with General Haideed's side controlling the airport, port and radio station.

Somali militants grow Somali militants linked to al-Qaeda briefly asserted control over Mogadishu's most strategic road Saturday, escalating their efforts to overthrow the U.S.-backed transitional government in a region where Islamic radicalism is gaining strength. Never have the radical al-Shabab militiamen attacked so near Somalia's halls of power as they have last week, bringing them closer to their desire to create a Taliban-like Islamic emirate from which to export jihad abroad. Saturday's attack triggered an intense gun battle on the Muka al-Mukarama, a vital artery that connects key government ministries and the presidential palace to the airport. The fighting sent hundreds fleeing their homes and trapped men like Mohammed Ali in the crosshairs of war. The 22-year-old policeman fired a volley of bullets at al-Shabab fighters crouching in an alley connecting to the road. Bullets cracked back like thunderclaps. A mix of surprise and pain spread across Ali's boyish face, as blood oozed from his shattered foot, turning the road a dark crimson. "We warned you not to fire your rifle," yelled a comrade, as others risked a similar fate to drag Ali to safety. Next to them, soldiers and policemen stood against a wall of shuttered houses and stores that shielded them from the bullets whistling overhead. Scores of civilians who fled homes around the Dubka intersection huddled with them. No one dared to go to the intersection, where al-Shabab fighters were firing on anyone attempting to cross the street. "We are getting weaker and weaker every day," lamented Col. Ahmed Mohammed, a burly commander dressed in camouflage fatigues. Many of the soldiers had received only one month's salary in the past eight months. For this, they would not risk their lives. Overrunning areas Over the past week, during Islam's holiest month of Ramadan, al-Shabab fighters have pressed on this ocean-side capital. The militia has grown increasingly ambitious since orchestrating last month's twin bombings in the Ugandan capital of Kampala that killed more than 70 World Cup fans. The militants have overtaken neighborhoods once controlled by the government. On Monday, they vowed an all-out war to eradicate the government and drive out a contingent of 6,000 African Union peacekeepers that protects it. The next day, two al-Shabab suicide bombers attacked the Hotel Muna near the presidential palace, killing 31 people, including members of parliament and civil servants. The Muka al-Mukarama was a logical target. There was only one African Union outpost on the long thoroughfare between Mogadishu's commercial center and the Dubka intersection. Lined with cafes, travel agencies and money transfer shops, the road is indispensable for Mogadishu residents. The militants have attacked the road before, but never with the intensity seen Saturday. The assault began in the morning, as the militants took over buildings near the intersection and started to fire at passing vehicles. By 10 a.m, they controlled the Dubka intersection, effectively dividing the capital. Most residents stayed home, but the few who ventured out were forced to take detours over tiny, mud-filled roads to cross the city. The road was deserted, save for the lone souls fleeing from their homes or running from the bullets that punctuated the eerie silence of what was once the capital's busiest street. More than 10 bullets pounded the pink wall of Hassan Abdulqadir Farah's house. He gathered his five small daughters and whatever belongings they could pack into a small white minibus. His neighbor Hassan Ahmed and his five children crowded into the minibus as well. "I can't live with my children here," said Farah, a tall man who nervously glanced at the intersection. "The war has reached our front door." Soldiers' plight By 1 p.m., African Union peacekeepers arrived in white trucks and armored personnel carriers, affixed with large machine guns. They promptly began to pound the militants with a thunderous, jackhammer rhythm. At the end of each volley, the militants fired back with their AK-47s. None of the civilians huddled against walls appeared to mind that Somalia's soldiers and policemen watched from the sidelines. By 2 p.m., the African Union vehicles had left. The peacekeepers had erected concrete roadblocks and positioned themselves at the Dubka intersection. The militants had been pushed back, but not far. Few on the road expressed confidence that the peacekeepers could contain them. "They don't know the streets, and they fight from their trucks," said Farah Hussein Gimali, a civil servant, who lives near the intersection. "Al-Shabab will simply return in the night." The gunfire did not stop. A bullet struck the hat of an old man, who was so shaken he sat down on a stoop and stared blankly at the road. "Cross, cross," people yelled at others across the road, as bullets whistled through the air. Police spokesman Abdullah Hassan Barrisse, who was near the intersection, attempted a positive assessment, declaring that "the situation had returned to normal." Minutes later, an al-Shabab bullet narrowly missed a man's ear. He ran fast, clutching the right side of his head. Then Ali, the policeman, was shot. He stared glumly at the intersection as his friends placed him on the back of a police truck. Gimali, his face lined with anxiety, stared there, too. He worried that he would have to move his aging parents if al-Shabab attacked again. As for others on this day, the road had taken on a much greater significance. "The relationship between the government and this road is sacred. They need it to survive," he said. "If we lose this road, al-Shabab will push us to the ocean." Washington Post
