Somalia: Four killed in Mogadishu sat. September 24, 2005 03:01 pm. Send this news article Three masked assailants armed with AK47 assault riffles and a handgun stormed a coffee shop and sprayed hail of bullets last night, killing four men and wounding many. Witnesses said the assailants who were masked and hid their faces left the scene by foot. Unconfirmed reports say the slaying may be related to earlier killings. This kind of surprise attack is normal throughout southern Somalia, especially the capital. Hundreds of years old unwritten Somali law states if you commit a murder, someone from your tribe not necessarily in the same city will pay the price. Mogadishu residents are at the mercy of armed thugs who were never taught of the value of human lives, many of whom loyal to about a dozen warlords. Responsibility for safeguarding the public lies with Mogadishu warlords and Islamic courts who claim to control the city. News Category: Somalia Send this news article

Originally posted by OLOL: Deputy Assistant Secretary Yamamoto welcomed the Speaker of the Transitional Federal Assembly of Somalia, Shariff Hassan Sheikh Adan, to the State Department on September 14, 2005. He underscored this U.S. support and urged the Speaker to continue his efforts towards finding a peaceful solution to current disagreements between Somali leaders. During the UN General Assembly in New York City on September 16, 2005, Deputy Assistant Secretary Yamamoto met with Somali Transitional President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed. He again underscored the above U.S. support and urged President Yusuf to take immediate steps to reduce tension and engage in a constructive dialogue with other members of the Transitional Federal Institutions to find a peaceful solution to current disagreements. They asked Shariifka to continue his efforts of bringing peace and urged Yeey to reduce tension and engage in dialogue. What does this tell you? If you are well versed in diplomatic lingo, you will easily decipher from this statement how the State Department is skeptical of Yeey. You will also come to recognize the confidence the US officials have on speaker of Parliament. Diplomats can without difficulty discern who is serious about peace and who is not. It's really the same thing the President is ask to take immediate steps to reduce tension Because he is the President he is in a higher level than the Speaker. But the Main idea was peaceful solution Which was said to both of them.

The Pentagon I think will come in to Somalia if the Threat does Rise not for us but for their own good. "Earlier this year, Ethiopia's Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi, warned an al-Qaida cell has been active for years in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, and continues to operate there".

Pentagon Warns of Rising Terror Threat in Horn of Africa - Thursday, September 22, 2005 at 16:08 By Brian Wagner Washington The head of U.S. troops in the Horn of Africa warns terrorists and insurgents may begin leaving battlegrounds in Afghanistan and Iraq and head for east Africa. One of the main reasons for the move may be ongoing instability and lack of central governments in struggling nations like Somalia. The Commander of the Combined Joint Task Force Horn of Africa says officials remain concerned that instability and weak governments in east Africa may draw international terrorist groups seeking a safe base of operations. Major General Timothy Ghormley adds he has already seen terrorists crossing through the region on the way to battlegrounds in Afghanistan and Iraq. But now, he warns terrorists may be leaving war zones in those countries and coming to east Africa. "I see the terrorist threat coming south, at some point," General Ghormley says. "We're winning up north, we're winning in Afghanistan, we're winning in Iraq, they're going to have to go someplace. We see the possibility of them coming south. That's why it's so important for us to get our message out to people that there's an alternative, that we can protect them." The joint task force based in Djibouti has been helping train foreign soldiers and build the anti-terrorist capacities of governments in the region, but U.S. forces have yet to enter Somalia, which has been without a functioning central government for more than a decade. Earlier this year, Ethiopia's Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi, warned an al-Qaida cell has been active for years in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, and continues to operate there. General Ghormley says Islam is on the rise in Somalia, but adds he has limited intelligence to confirm terrorist fears over that country. "I know from reports I get that mosques are springing up rather rapidly in Mogadishu. But I don't know about the number of madrassas that that would involve or include. ... I don't know of any severe radicalism in the area that I operate," General Ghormley says. General Ghormley says Somalia will remain a key concern for the United States, especially as a newly formed government seeks to establish itself alongside powerful warlords and clan leaders. In the meantime, he says the joint task force will continue seeking to strengthen nations in the region to prevent future generations from turning to violence and radicalism.

The Chairman of Puntland Parliament's outright rejection of any bargaining over the SSC regions of Somalia by Dr. Jama Cilmi - Thursday, September 22, 2005 at 01:16 Qoraaladda Dr. Jama Elmi (Radiossc.net): The Chairman of Puntland Parliament Hon Osman Dalmar Yusuf on Monday voiced outright rejection of any bargaining over the SSC regions of Somali and stressed that PL remains open to constructive and open dialogue. "PL remains open to any constructive and frank dialogue for a settlement within the framework of our territorial integrity and national sovereignty, over which we will never, I repeat never, accept any bargaining," said the Chairman in a speech aired on the Radiossc.net on the occasion of his visit to Sool capital city of Lasanod. To the opponents of Somalia's territorial integrity, Hon Yusuf said democracy is the best way to take to settle the artificial problem created around the Somali's Northern provinces. "Democracy, which we have chosen as a civilized way to run the nation's affairs, is a great asset which strengthens the domestic front and consolidates the country's unity," he said, adding democracy "is the best avenue to follow if we are to end this artificial problem once and for all." The Chairman of PL parliament further underlined that defending Somali's territorial integrity is a decisive battle and called for a general mobilization to win this battle. "I must stress again to my PL followers that the real battle ahead is not a mere fight between individuals, groups, parties or associations, and that differences of opinion over the running of public affairs should not make us forget that the decisive battle for us consists in defending tenaciously our territorial integrity, to ward off any threats or dangers and to foil any plot against it," he said. Hon. Yusuf voiced pride "We are also proud of the backing we have received from friendly and sister nations who have realized that ours is a just cause," he said, adding this unanimous support Somalia enjoys from for this sacred cause constitutes a source of strength to us. Uttering Somali's infallible and indefectible attachment to the Somalis identity of the Northern Secessionists, the Chairman stressed that "in the Northern Provinces, Somalia is in its own territory." Mr. Dalmar stressed unshakable readiness to defend Somali's territorial integrity whatever the sacrifice and regardless of the plots. We all stand ready to defend the country's territorial integrity, whatever the sacrifices and regardless of the plots and conspiracies that need to be foiled," he said. "Preserving our territorial integrity is a pressing duty which warrants all-out mobilization, constant vigilance and efficient action, in order to close, once and for all, the dispute that has been created artificially by those who adamantly and aggressively challenge the fact that the North Provinces is Somali territory," said Hon. Dalmar. The Chairman slammed the enemies of Somalia's territorial integrity and their attempts to balkanize the Somalia. "They (the enemies of Somalia's territorial integrity) eventually unmasked themselves as the real opponent and are eager to impose, through separatist pawns, total domination over our Northern provinces," he said, adding "Instead of contributing sincerely to building a strong Somalia Union on sound foundations, this opponent has gone as far as to raise the question of partition, which is bound to end in the whole region being balkanized.". "Such a hostile attitude has constantly thwarted all attempts to reach an equitable settlement through negotiation and by consensus, and offered only insidious solutions instead," H.M. Hon Dalmar concluded. Dr. Jama Cilmi Source: Radiossc Powered by AllPuntland.com Copyright ©AllPuntland.com

Hargeisa Regime: Withdraw Your Forces From Sool by Mohamed Ali Dad - Wednesday, September 21, 2005 at 00:05 The current situation in Yagoori and Ari Addeeye of Sool province is extremely precarious. A confederation of eight northern tribes have banded together against one single tribe. A sizable army drawn from the northern allied tribes has been occupying parts of Sool province for the last three years or so. The occupation forces behave worse than a colonial power and ride rough-shod over the local people. They have imposed unbearable restrictions on the population. In fact, they have confiscated the freedoms and rights of the inhabitants. The officers and rank and file of the occupation army have a callous attitude toward the natives of the occupied land. They humiliate the wayfarers and travelers by searching them meticulously and unnecessarily delaying them at the check-points. Even local dignitaries who protested against the transgression, humiliation and atrocious acts of the of the occupying forces were jailed. That is the way they treat and deal with the inhabitants of the occupied territory. The purpose of the occupation forces is to acquire additional land, establish new settlements and place the population of SSC under their control. Likewise, Hargeisa regime intends to coerce and compel the population of SSC to join the rebel regime in its frenzied efforts to secede from the unified nation of Somalia. The confederation of the northern tribes has already annexed large tracts of land of Sool province extending to 150 miles. They got away with it. They seem not contented with what they have already taken and are still craving for extra lands. But no wonder! One will see many strange things in the course of time. The town-dwellers, villagers and nomadic community all began to lose patience with the army of occupation. The tide of public opinion has turned against the invaders. The forefathers of SSC population had always defended their homeland. Nobody dared to intrude into their land. They were never unprepared but always ready. However, the latter generations seem to be slack and lazybones. They have changed a lot from what their forefathers were once. As the Latin proverb says: “The times are changing and we with them.†The people need to free themselves from the scourge of the occupation forces that are causing them suffering. Continue your resistance unanimously and with one voice. Do not let the sham, make-believe and simulated election to take place in your areas. Whip the native stooges who are in the service of Hargeisa regime and to the detriment of their people and homeland. Resist the occupation by all possible means. Your are the rightful owners of the land and they are trespassers on your private property. Let the occupation forces feel the pinch and become visibly nervous. Either they have to quit on their own or else be expelled. Let them be convinced that occupying other peoples' land will be futile and fruitless. This is a clarion call for resistance in defense of the motherland.

Somali warlords debate fight against government - Wednesday, September 21, 2005 at 00:25 By Guled Mohamed NAIROBI, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Warlords opposed to Somali government leaders based in Jowhar met on Tuesday to debate whether to attack or reconcile, underscoring the deep stalemate and potential for war in Somalia's latest attempt to find peace. The warlords, most of whom are cabinet ministers in the government and favour Mogadishu as the capital, see the president's base in provincial Jowhar and his massing of fighters there as a sign of imminent attack. Since it was formed in neighbouring Kenya in 2004, President Abdullahi Yusuf's interim government has been split over where it should be based while security is restored in the Horn of Africa nation, without effective central authority since 1991. Warlords in control of Mogadishu, Juba, Lower Shabelle and Bay regions were debating at Tuesday's meeting whether they should convene in coming days in Ba'lad and simultaneously mass their militiamen and heavy weapons there, witnesses in the Somali capital told Reuters by telephone. To move the militias to Ba'lad -- outside Mogadishu on the way to Jowhar where thousands of troops loyal to the government are based -- would likely be seen as a provocation. Spokesmen for Yusuf and his ally Prime Minister Mohamed Ali Gedi in Jowhar, which lies 90 km (56 miles) north of Mogadishu, could not immediately be reached for comment. A source at the meeting, who declined to be named, told Reuters by telephone that the warlords were split over whether they should move to Ba'lad. Some fear it would provoke a war, while others argue that they should strike first. The bellicose sentiments left war-weary Mogadishu residents hopeful the meeting would produce a peaceful answer. "We don't want them to fight. The militia who are in Jowhar are the brothers of these in Mogadishu. We need to end the conflict," said Ahmed Warsame, a 55-year-old moneychanger in Mogadishu's Bakara market. "We need a hand of peace and not war," he said by phone. In a poll conducted by local radio station HornAfrik this week in Mogadishu, 80 percent of residents said they are for the government and all of their support they will give to the government of Somalia. "We are suffering. Hundreds die at sea trying to run from the conflict while many are killed in the senseless conflict, They have to meet each other and end the rifts," Mogadishu businessman Bashir Dirie, 40, said. Somalia has been without a central government since warlords ousted former dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991, plunging the nation of approximately 10 million people into anarchy.

Somaliland elections rocked by ballot fraud September 19 2005 at 10:06AM Nairobi - The electoral panel in the Somali breakaway region of Somaliland said Monday some candidates in the this month's parliamentary polls had printed fake ballot papers in a bid to rig their way to victory. The Somaliland Electoral Commission (SEC) said the fraud was being done in collaboration with crooked Somaliland printing merchants, but it was not clear the extent of the scam. Some "candidates gave the ballots to printing houses in Somaliland after obtaining the sample when commission conducted civic education for voters," SEC chief Ahmed Haji Adami said in a brief statement. The panel said the scam, which was unearthed by Somaliland security officials, was being probed. Attempts to sneak fake ballot papers into the electoral boxes during voting on September 29 will result to immediate disqualifaction of candidate, Adami warned. In addition, the panel urged members of the public to "confront those attempting to use the fake ballots", during the first parliamentary polls in Somaliland since the region declared its independence from Somalia proper in 1991. The SEC warned that a ballot paper was a legal document and any trader faking it might lose his licence. Officials said the genuine ballot papers were printed in Britain with a security water mark, unlike the fakes which were printed in backstreets in the capital Hargeisa. The election board estimates more than 800,000 voters -- out of Somaliland's population of some three million people -- will cast ballots in the polls in which 246 candidates, including five women, are vying for 82 parliamentary seats. The next presidential election is to be held in 2008 and the next local elections in 2007. Lawmakers who made up the first Somali parliament that followed the secession in 1991 were appointed by elders. - Source: AFP, Sept. 20, 2005

Greg Gordon, Star Tribune Washington Bureau Correspondent September 15, 2005 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Somalia's new president mingled with U.N. figures in New York on Wednesday, while his country's new parliament speaker huddled with State Department officials in Washington. But President Abdullahi Yusuf and Speaker Sharif Hassan didn't talk with each other, and haven't for weeks. They head groups locked in a power struggle that Somali experts fear will derail the strife-torn, East African nation's most auspicious attempt at forming a government in the past 14 years and possibly set off a new civil war. "Another outbreak of violence would be disastrous," said Ali Galaydh, a University of Minnesota public policy professor who was picked to be prime minister in an earlier, failed attempt to create a Somali government. "I think it's fair to say the situation is delicate," said Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., who joined Sen. Mark Dayton, D-Minn., in meeting late Tuesday with Hassan and several other parliament members. Hoping to return The outcome carries high stakes for thousands of Somalis in the Twin Cities, home to the nation's largest population of refugees from the African nation. Many of them are hoping that their country will at last be stabilized so they can return home. Omar Jamal, director of the Minneapolis-based Somali Justice Advocacy Center, said he traveled to New York along with about 400 Twin Cities Somalis to seek Yusuf's support Wednesday. Jamal said Yusuf met briefly with the Minnesota Somalis and plans a more extensive meeting with them tonight in New York. Meantime, five parliament members siding with Hassan plan to fly to Minnesota today to seek support from the Somali community, Gov. Tim Pawlenty and state legislative leaders. A deputy prime minister, Mohamud Jama, plans to join them Friday. The potentially incendiary impasse developed when it came time to set into motion the transitional government created during two years of exhaustive talks in Kenya -- negotiations that involved everyone from statesmen to warlords. After hundreds of officials were elected and appointed, Hassan and the 275 members of parliament traveled to Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, and began setting up offices. But Yusuf, a former military commander who led a failed coup attempt in 1978 against then-Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre, felt that Mogadishu wasn't yet safe enough to be the seat of government. The city for years has been a haven for armed militias and, in recent months, the scene of bombings and the murder of a peace activist. Tensions rose several months ago when Yusuf instead set up operations in the outlying city of Jowhar. The situation turned volatile when reports circulated that he had accepted military assistance from neighboring Ethiopia, which has fought a series of border wars with Somalia. Use of Ethiopian troops in an attempt to control Mogadishu "would inflame the situation, not only in Somalia, but also would have regional implications," said Galaydh, a Hassan backer. "Mogadishu is a city of about 1.5 million to 2 million people. Everybody is armed. This is going to be house-to-house fighting ... really bloody." Watching closely The Bush administration weighed in this summer, urging Somalia's neighbors to stay out of any conflict. And the U.N. Security Council issued a statement in July warning that any party persisting "on the path of confrontation and conflict, including military action, would be held accountable." U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has assigned a special representative to try to mediate the dispute. Jamal said Yusuf met Wednesday evening with new U.N. General Assembly President Jan Eliasson of Sweden. Jama, the deputy prime minister and a former University of Wisconsin student, said Hassan's group has spent months improving the climate in Mogadishu by persuading about 2,500 young men from rival militias to move into camps miles from the city, where they are being trained by police officers. He blamed the distrust between Yusuf and parliament figures partly on the "series of competitions" in deciding on a government, each of which "left a legacy of conflict." Coleman said he is urging the State Department to do what it can to keep both sides talking. If Somalia can't be stabilized, he said, "then you run the risk of it being a haven for terrorism. That's the real concern." Greg Gordon is at --------------------------------------------------Minnesota is all for Abduallhi Yusuf Sharif Hassan wants to go there he is risking his life.

UN mission chief welcomes Somali Prime Minister's decision to convene ministers - Friday, September 16, 2005 at 15:57 The head of the United Nations Political Office for Somalia (UNPOS) today welcomed the Somali Prime Minister's invitation to cabinet members, now located in two different towns, to meet in the country's capital, Mogadishu, as the war-shattered country emerges from years of functioning without a central government. In recent months, President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed and Prime Minister Ali Mohammed Gedi moved to Jowhar, 90 kilometres from the capital, citing a lack of security in Mogadishu, while Speaker Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden and some Cabinet members and Parliamentarians stayed in Mogadishu. Mr. Gedi's letter of invitation to Cabinet Ministers of the Transitional Federal Government for consultations and a meeting followed months of international effort, led by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG), François Lonsény Fall, to persuade the parties to hold a dialogue and resolve differences within the Transitional Federal Institutions. Expressing the hope that the Council of Ministers' meeting would be followed by a full session of the Parliament, in accordance with the Transitional Federal Charter, Mr. Fall said: "I encourage the Prime Minister to pursue this initiative, which is in the spirit of fostering dialogue within the Transitional Federal Institutions." Earlier this month six UN staff members were flown to Wajid in south-western Somalia and seven were relocated temporarily in Nairobi, Kenya, as tensions built around Jowhar. Mr. Fall said then that there could be no military solution to the divisions that have persisted in Somalia since the collapse of the central government in 1991. "The suffering of the population has continued at unacceptable cost to all Somalis for more than 14 years," he said. Source: Relief Web Powered by AllPuntland.com Copyright ©AllPuntland.com
