Dr_Osman Posted February 2, 2012 William Hague becomes first British foreign secretary to visit ‘world's most failed state’ Somalia in 20 years Hague calls for the fight against Somali-based terrorism to be stepped up Visit seen as major diplomatic push to bring stability to country Announces appointment of Britain's first ambassador to the country since 1991 A British embassy will be established in Somalia once it is safe MI5 director general says it's 'only a matter of time' before terrorists, trained in Somali camps, wreak violence in the UK By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 11:20 AM on 2nd February 2012 William Hague today called for the fight against Somali-based terrorism to be stepped up after arriving in the war-torn country. As the first British foreign secretary to visit Somalia for 20 years, Mr Hague's visit is seen as a major diplomatic push to bring stability to a country he once described as 'the world's most failed state.' Wearing a combat helmet and bullet-proof vest, Mr Hague was escorted through capital Mogadishu to his meeting with Somali president Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed in a heavily protected armoured vehicle. The Foreign Secretary then introduced Matt Baugh, Britain’s first ambassador to the country since it collapsed into chaos and civil war in 1991, to the President Ahmed. Guarded: Foreign Secretary William Hague called for the fight against Somali-based terrorism to be stepped up on his arrival in the state's capital, Mogadishu, today High risk: Mr Hague had to don a combat helmet and bullet-proof vest for his 10-minute journey from the city's airport to the presidential villa in a heavily armoured vehicle He also confirmed his intention to establish a new British embassy in Mogadishu once the security situation allows. 'For the security of the UK, it matters a lot for Somalia to become a more stable place,' Mr Hague said. Recent gains by the 10,000-strong African Union force in the country (Amisom) had driven back the radical Islamist group al Shabaab from the capital, he said. But with much of the south of the country still controlled by the organisation, which has links to al Qaeda, Mr Hague added there must be 'no let-up in the pressure.' Greetings: Mr Hague introduces newly appointed British ambassador, Matt Baugh, right, to Somalia president Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, second left. Mr Baugh is Britain's first ambassador to the country in 21 years Getting serious: The foreign secretary said there should be 'no let-up in the pressure' on radical Islamist group al Shabaab, which still controls much of the south of the country 'We need to step this up,' he said. 'We are not complacent about it.' Britain is hosting a major conference on Somalia in London later this month, attended by representatives of 50 nations in international organisations. Mr Hague has promised that counter-terrorism will be high on the agenda as well as tackling piracy and Somalia’s deep humanitarian problems. 'One of the objectives of our conference in London is to strengthen counter-terrorism co-operation to make it easier for countries in this region to disrupt terrorist networks, to disrupt their financing and the movement of potential terrorists.' Taking no chances: An Amisom soldier keeps a watchful eye from his tank amid increased security for Mr Hague's visit In 2010, MI5 director-general Jonathan Evans warned that it was 'only a matter of time' before terrorists, trained in Somali camps, inspired acts of violence on the streets of the UK. However, ministers believe the success of the Amisom offensive last August in driving al Shabaab from capitol Mogadishu has opened up a window of opportunity. With suicide bombings, improvised explosive devices and grenade attacks still a regular occurrence, new ambassador Mr Baugh will work out of the British High Commission in neighbouring Kenya. The volatile security situation meant that Mr Hague’s 10-minute drive from the Amisom base at the city’s airport to the presidential residence at Villa Somalia had to be made amid the tightest security. Ongoing misery: Displaced Somali women queue for food at a centre run by a Turkish aid agency in the Howlwadaag district of southern Mogadishu In the grips of famine: Displaced Somali children stand in front of their makeshift shelters at an IDP camp in war-torn Mogadishu The route took him past shops and buildings bearing the scars of two decades of conflict, including the country’s bombed-out parliament building. However, observers in the city say there are new signs of life emerging from the rubble since Amisom’s August offensive, with businesses opening up, buildings being4x392.jpg[/img] repaired and people and traffic returning to the streets. The London conference will also consider practical steps strengthened the site against Somali pirates and improving humanitarian co-ordination for the one million refugees in the region displaced by famine.

Dr_Osman Posted February 2, 2012 William Hague visits Somalia's Mogadishu William Hague says Somalia is the "world's most failed state" William Hague has called for renewed pressure against Islamist militants during the first visit to Somalia by a British foreign secretary for 20 years. His arrival in the capital, Mogadishu signals the start of a major diplomatic push to restore stability in Somalia. The British government is holding a conference in London on 23 February to try to find a political solution, and tackle piracy and extremism. The first UK envoy for two decades has also been appointed. Mr Hague said a British embassy would be established in Mogadishu once the security situation allowed, and until then ambassador Matt Baugh would be based in the Kenyan capital Nairobi. Suicide bombings and other attacks by Islamist militants make the city one of the most dangerous in the world. Security was tight for the visit of foreign secretary, who travelled in a fleet of armoured vehicles to meet Somalia's President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed. After the meeting at the presidential palace in Mogadishu, Mr Hague described Somalia as "the world's most failed state". He praised African Union troops for forcing al-Shabab militants out of the city. But he warned that much of the south remained in the hands of the militants, saying: "We need to step this up." The country has been torn apart by two decades of war, beset by drought and famine, and is home to a piracy industry that threatens shipping across the Indian Ocean. But analysts say the military fortunes of al-Shabab have dramatically worsened in the last year. Neighbouring Ethiopia and Kenya also have forces in Somalia - and have made advances on al-Shabab in the south and the west. Tackling root causes Mr Hague's visit follows another sign of growing international confidence in the improving security situation, at least in Mogadishu - the UN special envoy to Somalia has moved his office back from neighbouring Kenya to the city after an absence of 17 years. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited in August, and UN chief Ban Ki-Moon in December, the first visit by a UN secretary general in 18 years. UK International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell visited Puntland, northern Somalia, over the weekend - after a August visit to Mogadishu. Correspondents say Britain now appears to driving a new international push to tackle the roots causes of Somalia's insecurity and conflict. Representatives from more than 40 nations have been invited to the London conference on Somalia later this month. "The conference will seek to generate a more effective and concerted international approach outside Somalia that addresses the root causes of the conflict; and a new political process inside Somalia that meets the needs of all Somalis," Mr Hague said in a statement. In 2010, MI5 director-general Jonathan Evans warned that it was "only a matter of time" before militants trained in Somali camps inspired acts of violence on the streets of the UK.
