Now because the sister's unfortunate plight and subsequent national media coverage, this poor brother's predicament finally got a media attention he deserved and is receiving his passport as well after three long years of ordeal. _____________ Stranded Canadian to be given new ID A second Canadian stranded in Kenya while diplomats questioned whether he was an imposter will get a travel document to return to this country. Abdihakim Mohamed, a 25-year-old autistic man of Somali origin, has been unable to get a passport to return to Canada because his mother, Anab Mohamed Issa, could not convince Foreign Affairs officials he was really her son. Now, after another Somali-Canadian marooned in Kenya for months because of allegations she was an imposter returned home Saturday, Mr. Mohamed is to receive his own travel documents when his mother turns in a new application. “Once the application is submitted, we're going to proceed with issuing the travel documents,” said Nathalie Sarafian, a spokeswoman for Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon. The recent case of Suaad Hagi Mohamud, accused by Canadian diplomats of faking her identity, brought new attention to the case of Mr. Mohamed, and new hope to his family. “We are three years and more into the same situation and nobody can help us,” Ms. Issa said from Ottawa's Carleton University, where she works as a cleaner. “So I get happy she got help soon. It give me a big hope.” The Ottawa woman and her friends had struggled for years to bring attention to the case of her son. “Before Suaad, nobody was really taking it up,” said Mohammed Dalmar, a friend and manager at the Catholic Immigration Centre in Ottawa. The cases of Ms. Mohamud and Mr. Mohamed open a window to the difficulties of those who have origins in one of the most infamous failed states of the day. Somalia's lack of a functional government means the only papers of identification Somalis possess today are issued by outside governments. Many Somali-Canadians don't have birth certificates, and can only use documents from Canada. “If those with big passports from Western countries are being treated like this, can you imagine how the refugees, fleeing from conflict, trying to cross borders, seeking asylum, how they are being treated?” said Hassan Noor, Oxfam's humanitarian co-ordinator for Somalia. “Some have been attacked in airports and thrown in jail. Coming into another country is almost an illegal act.” Mr. Mohamed's stay in East Africa began in 2004, when his mother brought him to live with relatives in the Somali port town of Bosaso. He had been struggling in Canada, and a doctor felt that being around his extended family might do him good. Ms. Issa stayed with him for several months as he settled in, then left, taking his passport with her because she feared it might be stolen. When she arrived in Toronto, Canadian officials confiscated the passport because it was not her own. In 2006, Mr. Mohamed's grandmother in Bosaso died and Ms. Issa decided it was time to bring him home. When she contacted the Canadian High Commission in Nairobi about getting him a new passport, she was asked to go for an interview with her son, and later informed she was under investigation for applying for a passport for an imposter. She was told her son did not resemble a picture of him taken in 1996 when he became a Canadian citizen at age 11. They asked for more pictures of Mr. Mohamed then and since, but his mother didn't have any. Mr. Dalmar said some Muslims do not get photographed unless it's really necessary, but she offered to provide DNA for a test – an offer the Canadian government never accepted. Ms. Sarafian declined to comment on why Canadian officials did not accept that offer, or to explain the delay in proving his identity, citing privacy concerns. Eventually, Ms. Issa was forced to leave her son with relatives in Nairobi so that she could return home to work, taking a second job to support her son. Like many young Somali men in Nairobi, Mr. Mohamed was picked up by the police several times. “They catch him many times and they take money.” Ms. Issa said. “Sometimes you care safety and you don't care money. If you don't pay money, maybe they put him in jail.” Xigasho

2nd Canadian stranded in Kenya Members of Canada's Somali community say their relationship with the Canadian High Commission in Nairobi, Kenya, is strained following a second case of disputed identity. Abdihakim Mohammed, a 25-year-old Somali-Canadian, has been stuck in Kenya for three years, accused by Canadian diplomatic officials of being an imposter. Mohammed is autistic. His mother took him to Somalia five years ago because doctors believed being around extended family could help him. After leaving Mohammed in Somalia with his grandmother, his mother returned to Canada. However, when she tried to bring him back to Canada three years ago, she was told the person travelling with her was not her son because he didn't look like his passport photo. In an earlier case of disputed identity, Suaad Hagi Mohamud, 31, had been unable to leave Kenya since May, when local authorities said her lips did not look the way they did in her passport photo. Canadian consular officials voided her passport and urged Kenya to prosecute her. After a DNA test proved Mohamud was who she said she was, a Kenyan judge agreed to drop identity fraud charges. Mohamud recently returned to Toronto where she was reunited with her son, Mohamed Hussein, 12. The latest case remains unresolved despite offers by Mohammed's mother to undergo DNA testing. "I was upset with them, the Canadian Embassy, they didn't want to give me my passport, my Canadian passport — I don't know why," Abdihakim Mohammed told CBC News. Mohammed Dalmar, a family friend and a manager at Ottawa's Catholic Immigration Centre, said the federal government has a problem at the High Commission in Nairobi. "The relationship between the Somali community and the High Commission in Nairobi is damaged and we need to repair it," Dalmar said. No embassy Canada has no embassy in Somalia, so people from that country must travel to Nairobi for consular services. Dalmar said people travelling to Somalia through Kenya are targeted by corrupt Kenyan border agents. "If you go through the airport, they will target you," he said. "They will say you have to pay some money as a bribe. Otherwise, they make life difficult for you." When bribes aren't paid, the traveller can be accused of using a false passport. Now in at least two cases, it seems Canadian consular officials have sided with the Kenyans when this has happened. Not drawing conclusions Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon isn't willing to draw any conclusions yet, but he said senior officials are looking into what happened. "We're not looking for anything else than the truth," Cannon said. Xigasho

Diplomat's recall does not clear air The Canadian diplomat at the heart of the uproar over Ottawa's indefensible treatment of Suaad Hagi Mohamud is suddenly back home. But Liliane Khadour's recall from Kenya to Ottawa doesn't begin to clear the air. If her political masters hope to shield themselves by scapegoating her, Parliament shouldn't let them get away with it. Khadour is the official at Canada's high commission in Nairobi who sent a letter to Kenyan authorities saying that "conclusive investigations" had confirmed – wrongly, as it turned out – that Mohamud was an imposter. The letter said the high commission was "releasing" her passport to the Kenyans so she could be prosecuted. As Canadians have learned, Mohamud is who she claimed to be. She returned to Toronto on Saturday. Now Ottawa must explain the indefensible. It rejected Mohamud's proofs of Canadian identity, denied the Somali immigrant's Canadian citizenship, seized her passport, blocked her right to return home, and turned her over to a foreign government. Then it took months to sort out the mess with a DNA test. Is it credible that Khadour, a mere official, wreaked such havoc without her superiors eventually knowing? Hardly. Is it credible that "conclusive investigations" didn't include consultations with Ottawa officials? No. If higher officials didn't know, they should have. At Prime Minister Stephen Harper's demand, Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon (who faulted the victim) and Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan are conducting probes. Canadian High Commission to Kenya Ross Hynes, too, should shed light on this fiasco. But it's not reassuring that Mohamud's lawyer Raoul Boulakia has had to launch proceedings in Federal Court to obtain Mohamud's disputed passport and case file. What does Ottawa have to hide? The Harper government has just a few weeks before Parliament resumes in mid-September to explain how a Canadian traveler could be treated so shabbily after seeking consular help. Absent a credible explanation, the Liberals and other opposition parties should use their majority in Parliament to force an inquiry. As well, they should press for legislation requiring Ottawa to go to bat for citizens who get into trouble abroad. At present, Ottawa isn't bound to help. Ministers and bureaucrats can pick and choose. That can leave new Canadians such as Mohamud feeling the sting of official indifference. Since 9/11, Muslims especially have suffered. The Federal Court in several cases has sharply criticized Ottawa for neglecting citizens. This is not the Canadian way. If the government won't assume its responsibility to stand up for every citizen, Parliament should take up the cause. Ibid

Her case is far from over. It is just a tip of what happens in Nayroobi office of Canadian embassy. Waa dad isla waa weyn, Soomaalida aadna u yaso dadka ka shaqeeyo safaaradaas Kanada. On today's paper. _____________ Government `mindset' blamed for abuse of our Muslims abroad You remember Liliane Khadour, don't you? She was among those at the Canadian high commission in Nairobi who caused Suaad Hagi Mohamud all that grief. Well, the diplomat's tour of duty has "concluded" – as in, terminated. But she clearly was not alone in creating the mess. What's being done about the other officials? And what's Ottawa doing about the chorus of complaints about the attitude of Canadian immigration officials in Nairobi toward Somalis, including visiting Somali Canadians? And what of Stephen Harper? After refusing for weeks to tend to the case, he has been cleverly distancing his government from this shameful episode. He shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. He began last Thursday with the innuendo that Mohamud's was "not an easy case," implying there was more to it than meets the eye. If so, let's hear it, Prime Minister. The next day, he urged Canadians to be cautious when abroad, implying that she hadn't been. Fact: she had done nothing wrong, except to visit her sick mother. He then made a particularly misleading statement: "We do our best to aid those in various forms of difficulty, but ultimately we're not the sovereign government once people leave our territory." Fact: it was not Kenyans, but Canadian officials who were the main culprits. This week, Harper said: "When we became aware last week ..." Is that the royal "we"? Or is he referring to his office? In either case, it's not reassuring that the Prime Minister and/or his entourage didn't know what most Canadians did. ON SATURDAY , about 50 Somali Canadians waited nearly two hours at Pearson airport for Mohamud to emerge from immigration upon her return from Kenya. They were eager to talk. Shukri Abdi lives in the same building as Mohamud and had gladly looked after the single mom's son, though she has seven children of her own. "I said, `sure,' since Suaad had to go see her mother." Abdi said stories of Somalis being harassed by Kenyans at Nairobi airport for bribes and being ill-treated at the Canadian embassy are common. Her brother, Abdi Dirshe nodded. The last time he was there, in the spring, "I couldn't get past the security, even though I showed my Canadian passport." Mohamed Dahir has a radio program on CHIN Radio and a TV show on OMNI. "There are lots and lots of complaints about our embassy there. They don't treat people properly. For them, there are two tiers of Canadian citizens. If you are Somali, tough luck." His colleague Ahmed Yusif: "Many Canadian embassies have an assumption of who's a Canadian. The colour of your skin still plays a role, even when you have a Canadian passport. I was happy when Brenda Martin was brought back from Mexico in a government jet. But we should help not just those who might look like the government's idea of a Canadian but, rather, all Canadians." Faduma Mohamed, president of the Somali Canadian Diaspora Alliance, said: "We do not have two-tier citizenship in Canada, but there is in the way Harper is acting." MOHAMUD'S LAWYER , Raoul Boulakia, has a pretty good idea of what went wrong in the Mohamud case. Detained at Nairobi airport May 21, Mohamud had the Kenyans call the Canadian embassy. A day later, Khadour and "a white male officer" arrived. "What might have pushed the (Canadian) immigration officer was that she, having lived in Canada for some years, talked to him in a way he's not used to from the Somalis there. She said she had some rights as a Canadian. But the Canadian officers there expect Somalis to suck up to them." When Mohamud was taken to the embassy May 25, she offered her fingerprints and urged the officials to phone her employer. "But they just wouldn't listen. Which is how they normally treat Somalis over there. People keep telling us stories that the embassy staff are dreadful. And every experience I've had with them has been dreadful." By May 28, Khadour had sent Mohamud's passport to Kenyan officials, "telling them, `You prosecute her.' Can you believe that?" Darryl Huard, second secretary, immigration, sent a detailed list of questions to Suaad's employer: Her date of employment? Hourly wage? Hours of work? Days absent from work? etc. "It's clear what the purpose of such questions is," Boulakia said. "Once they get the answers, they'd ask her and see if she gives the exact same answers. The slightest deviation, and `she's lying.' "The simplest thing would've been to put her and her employer here on Skype, and say, `Does this woman work for you? Show us her employee ID picture, her file.'" Meanwhile, the government was fighting Boulakia in court. "Can I have her file? No. Her passport? No. Why don't you do a DNA test? No. I said the government has done it in 8,000 cases. The court agreed. Once the DNA came, they were screwed." Boulakia's experience is that when "Canadian officials make mistakes, they never, ever admit to their mistake. They close ranks. That seems to be the same behaviour in just about every case I litigate. And what they really, really hate is a lawyer turning up to question them." As for the Harper government, he said, "it has an attitude toward Muslims abroad, a mindset, like they are dealing with second-class citizens. With Mohamud, their attitude was similarly dismissive: `This woman, what can she expect?'" The Star

A minority mistreating another minority. ________________ Diplomat's tour of duty in Nairobi 'is over' Liliane Khadour is back in Ottawa after passport bungle that stranded Toronto woman in Kenya The Canadian diplomat who officially disowned Suaad Hagi Mohamud as an "imposter" has been recalled from Kenya. Liliane Khadour has "concluded" her posting, a consular official at the Canadian High Commission said yesterday from the capital, Nairobi. "Her tour of duty is over," he said, explaining that Foreign Affairs employees rotate posts every two or three years, and Khadour had been in Nairobi for two. "I am not very sure where she went." Khadour is now in Ottawa. Although she owns a condominium apartment there with her partner, Jason Joyce, the two are staying at a downtown hotel. Both had been working at the commission in Nairobi as first secretaries. When reached by cellphone yesterday, Joyce hung up almost immediately. Neither answered the phone in their hotel room or returned messages. The Canada Border Services Agency has opened an internal investigation into the handling of Mohamud's case. The Somali-born Canadian citizen, an employee of an Etobicoke courier company, had been visiting her mother in Nairobi when she ran into trouble. On May 21, a Kenyan employee of KLM airlines challenged Mohamud's passport photo at the Nairobi departure gate as she was trying to board a flight home to Toronto and her 12-year-old son, she has said. Canadian consular officials interviewed her at the airport on May 22 and sided against her. On May 25, Mohamud appealed to the high commission to take her fingerprints. And on May 28, Khadour sent a letter to Kenyan authorities that sealed Mohamud's fate. "Please be advised that we have carried out conclusive investigations including an interview," Khadour wrote, signing herself vice-consul, first secretary (consular). "And (we) have confirmed that the person brought to the Canadian High Commission on suspicion of being an imposter is not the rightful holder of the aforementioned passport. "The Canadian High Commission is releasing the passport to your office for the purposes of prosecution," Khadour wrote to Michael Ojwang, director of Kenyan immigration services. The letter alleged Mohamud was carrying a passport not her own and was in Kenya illegally. These are serious charges that could have led to a Kenyan prison sentence or deportation to her native Somalia. Mohamud was arrested and held for eight days in a women's prison before friends were able to post her bail. But, it turns out, there was no conclusive Canadian investigation. Mohamud was no imposter. And although it took her three months and a DNA test to prove her identity to Canadian consular officials and two federal departments, Mohamud was in fact the rightful holder of the Canadian passport she was carrying. Last Friday, after conclusive DNA results, the Kenyans dropped all charges against the 31-year-old single mother and the next day she returned to her son, Mohamed Hussein, and a hero's welcome at Pearson International Airport. Since then, she has been undergoing tests for a persistent cough and weight loss, symptoms that have nagged her since her eight-day stay in Nairobi's Langata Women's Prison in June. Chest x-rays have ruled out any serious lung illness such as tuberculosis or pneumonia, her lawyer Raoul Boulakia has said. "She's extremely relieved to be in Canada and to be with her son," he said yesterday. Legal proceedings have begun in federal court to obtain Mohamud's disputed passport and case file, Boulakia said, adding the case is expected to be heard next month. Asked whether his client plans to sue, Boulakia said: "I'd like to see her get compensation. She deserves it ... but I'd rather see her not go to court."

Onother reason of ever growing list of why I am glad I don't live in Mareykanka, where the goons are considered normal, where insanity is the norm.

Boos ku buuxis ayaa la yiraahdaa waxaan. Maxee qabtaan horta? Hoggaanka Soomaalida isma badalaan. Yaala taliyo dadkaan. Nus kamid ah magacyadaan dibadaha ayeeba wareegaan, ama deganyihiinba iyagoo baasabooro shisheeye wato. Wasaaradda Amniga: Cabdulaahi Maxamed Cali ( Sanbaloolshe ) Soomaali iyo naaneys isku daa.

Mr. Wanker Pervert hakaa saaro hee.

Facebook firing after 'friend' boss ripped In tech terms, it's called a cascading failure. A woman in Britain being called "Lindsay" made a big one this week, and it cost her her job. First, she came home after a hard day and, rather than complaining to the cat, decided to do it on the web. Lindsay opened up her Facebook account and posted a fairly vulgar description of her boss. "OMG, I HATE MY JOB!" Lindsay wrote. "My boss is a total pervvy wanker always making me do s--- stuff." Mistake No. 2. Mistake No. 3. was forgetting that her boss was one of her Facebook friends, and thus had access to all of her posted comments. Mistake No. 4 was firing this broadside two weeks before the end of a six-month trial period. Five hours after Lindsay posted her lament, her boss replied. "I guess you forgot about adding me on here?" his post began. Then he proceeded to rip her straight back. "That `s--- stuff' is called your `job', you know, what I pay you to do? But the fact that you seem able to f--- up the simplest of tasks might contribute to how you feel about it." Angry boss then points out that Lindsay is a couple of weeks shy of the end of her trial period and delivers the coup de grâce. "Don't bother coming in tomorrow. I'll pop your P45 (pink slip) in the post, and you can come in whenever you like to pick up any stuff you've left here. And, yes, I'm serious." The Schadenfreude moment appears to be genuine. A screen capture of the exchange – with names blacked out – has been circulating the web for several days. "It is pretty hysterical," said labour lawyer Mary Beth Currie. "Well, not for her." According to Currie, the sort of treatment Lindsay received at her boss's hands could also happen in Canada. "Yes, a termination would be possible," Currie said. "People have to realize that they can't disparage their employer after working hours like this." It is now normal practice in this country to include a paragraph addressing what can and can't be done on social networking sites into the section of employee agreements covering Internet policy. "This is not unusual," said Peter Biro, a partner at WeirFoulds LLP. "You're going to see kajillions of cases like this out there." This is the latest in a series of headline-grabbing stories of irked employees typing and living to regret it. From a Swiss insurance worker chopped for Facebooking while home ill, to a Brit public relations drone axed for complaining about being "bored" in her work, people are learning the hard way that bad moods are temporary, but the Internet is forever. Nor would it be the first time someone's been cut via a social networking site. B.C. aesthetician Crystal Bell made headlines in January after she was fired over Facebook, though not for anything she had written online. In Lindsay's case, the lesson is clear. Choose your (Facebook) friends wisely. Xigasho
