Islamist Rebels Claim Responsibility for Bombing in Somali

Somalia's al-Shabab Islamist rebels have claimed responsibility for Tuesday's suicide car bomb attack at a base for African Union peacekeepers in Mogadishu. The al-Qaida-linked militants say the bombing was in retaliation for the recent killings of two senior al-Qaida commanders in Iraq.

Somali demonstrators take to the streets in government-controlled southern part of the Somali capital to protest the actions of Al-Qaida-linked groups in their country, Mogadishu (File Photo)The spokesman for al-Shabab, Ali Mohamud Rage, called Tuesday's suicide attack a "success," claiming that the explosion destroyed a former Somali commercial bank building housing African Union peacekeeping troops from Uganda.
Rage says the blast killed 20 peacekeepers, disputing statements made earlier by the Ugandan spokesman for the peacekeeping mission known as AMISOM.

Unpaid Somali soldiers desert to insurgency

soldiers cross street
In this Thursday, March 11, 2010 photo, Somali government soldiers cross the street during heavy fighting against Islamist insurgents in northern Mogadishu.
MOGADISHU, Somalia – Hundreds of Somali soldiers trained with millions of U.S. tax dollars have deserted because they are not being paid their $100 monthly wage, and some have even joined the al-Qaida-linked militants they are supposed to be fighting, The Associated Press has learned.
The desertions raise fears that a new U.S.-backed effort beginning next month to build up Somalia's army may only increase the ranks of the insurgency.
Somalia's besieged U.N.-backed government holds only a few blocks of the Somali capital, Mogadishu, while Islamic insurgents control the rest of the city and most of the country. That turmoil — and the lawless East African nation's proximity to Yemen, where al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula is based — has fed fears that Somalia could be used to launch attacks on the West.

Internet use in Ethiopia remain dismally low

(TMCnet.com) — Ethiopia has the lowest overall teledensity in Africa. The population is approaching 90 million, but there are less than 1 million fixed lines in service, and a little more than 3.3 million mobile subscribers. The number of internet users is dismal below 500,000 at the end of 2009. Communications service provision is reserved for the Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporation (ETC), one of the few monopoly providers left on the African continent.
There are indications that the Ethiopian government will finally start to liberalise the telecommunications sector, and it has already appointed a French partner on a revenue sharing basis to assist with the management and technical operations of the incumbent ETC. Liberalisation will create a substantial set of investment opportunities in the ICT sector. It is expected that the liberalisation agenda will include allowing competition into the mobile segment. Key uncertainties are the timing and scale of liberalisation that will take place, but it is widely recognised that before the country sees any of the benefits of widespread communications access, it will need to allow the private sector to take a prominent role in developing the market.

Meles Zenawi's double dealings with aid donors

Parts of southern Ethiopia resemble the scenery in a Tarzan movie. When I was there last fall, the green forested hills were blanketed in white mist and rain poured down on the small farms and homesteads. In the towns, slabs of meat hung in the butchers’ shops and donkeys hauled huge sacks of coffee beans, Ethiopia’s major export, along the stony dirt roads. So I was surprised to see the signs of hunger everywhere. There were babies with kwashiorkor, a disease caused by malnutrition, which I’d assumed occurred only in war zones. Many of the older children were clearly stunted and some women were so deficient in iodine they had goiters the size of cannonballs.
This East African nation, famous for its ancient rock-hewn churches, Solomonic emperors, and seemingly intractable poverty, has a long history of famine. But I had always assumed that food shortages were more common in the much drier north of the country than in the relatively fertile south. Although rainfall throughout Ethiopia had been erratic in 2008 and 2009, the stunting and goiter I saw were signs of chronic malnutrition, which had clearly existed for many years.
What was causing it? Ethiopia’s long history of food crises is shrouded in myths and political intrigue. In 1984, famine killed hundreds of thousands of people and left millions destitute. At the time, the UN attributed the famine to drought. But most witnesses knew it had far more to do with a military campaign launched by Ethiopia’s then-Soviet-backed dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam against a rebel group based in the northern province of Tigray, known as the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF).1 Government forces isolated the peasantry, destroyed trade and markets, and diverted food aid to their own troops.

A few hours after this photo was taken, terrorists attacked the clinic with a mortar.But Somalia’s unending war and the targeting of foreigners has forced all but a few aid groups to pull out.

U.S. should reject the outcome of May 2010 Ethiopian election

April 24th, 2010 |
… history offers a clear verdict: Governments that respect the will of their own people, that govern by consent and not coercion, are more prosperous, they are more stable, and more successful than governments that do not. … In the 21st century, capable, reliable, and transparent institutions are the key to success — strong parliaments; honest police forces; independent judges; an independent press; a vibrant private sector; a civil society. Those are the things that give life to democracy, because that is what matters in people’s everyday lives. – President Barack Obama’s Speech in Ghana, July 11, 2009.
The Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) party will surely declare a landslide victory in the upcoming May 2010 local elections. The victory will come about because since the 2005 national elections, the party has moved aggressively to manipulate local elections, pass repressive legislations, and to ban free media in order to consolidate its power base throughout Ethiopia.

Meles Zenawi's propensity for lies

For those of us who are accustomed to Meles Zenawi's propensity for lies, as well as his trademark boisterous rhetoric and empty bravado, his latest pre-election tantrums and deceptive shenanigans come as no surprise. The leader of the minority regime in Ethiopia, which suffers from delusions of grandeur, has never accepted responsibility for his actions and has always relied on its handlers to clean up his mess, provide it diplomatic, financial and political support as it evades its legal obligations, invades sovereign neighboring states, violates international law, reneges on Agreements it has signed, harasses and intimidates its political opponents, commits genocides and ethnic cleansing in Ethiopia etc. etc. . Today, Meles Zenawi and his cadres find themselves in yet another self created crisis-How can they win in the upcoming Ethiopian elections when the Ethiopian people have clearly spoken and rejected his regime?

Jet in first flight from Baghdad to UK in 20 years


A plane sits on the runway of Baghdad airport
Flight was delayed nearly a year amid security concerns in the EU
The first passenger flight between Iraq and the UK for 20 years has landed at London Gatwick airport.
The Iraqi Airways flight had been due to take off from Baghdad nine days ago, but was grounded by the volcanic ash cloud drifting over Europe.
The flight, nearly a year behind its original schedule, is the first since the UN imposed sanctions after Saddam Hussein's 1990 invasion of Kuwait.
It stopped in Malmo, Sweden, for security checks en route to Gatwick.
Flight IA237 touched down at 2308 BST on Sunday having left Baghdad 10 hours earlier.
Thirty foreign and Iraqi passengers were on board, including transport minister Amer Abduljabbar Ismail and Iraqi Airways chief Kifah Hassan.
'Joy and pleasure'
There are expected to be two flights a week between Baghdad and Gatwick, which is just outside London in West Sussex.
Flights from Iraq will go via Malmo, but will make the return non-stop.
Iraqi exiles in London, who until now were forced to take several flights to return home, received the news of the resumption of flights "with joy and pleasure," according to the Iraqi Transport Ministry website.
The flight had been delayed mainly because of security concerns in the UK and other EU countries.
Even then, events kept the plane grounded a little longer.
It should have taken off on 16 April, but Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano had erupted two days earlier, causing thousands of flights across Europe to be cancelled.

Former Chief of Somali Gestapo Faces Lawsuit for Torture

(COLUMBUS, OHIO, April 21, 2010) - Today, the Center for Justice and Accountability (CJA) and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP filed a lawsuit on behalf of constitutional law professor Abukar Hassan Ahmed who was imprisoned and tortured in Somalia during the brutal regime of Siad Barre.  The lawsuit was filed against Abdi Aden Magan, a resident of Columbus, Ohio and the former head of the Somali National Security Service (NSS) Department of Investigations during the Barre regime.  The NSS, which came to be known as the "Somali Gestapo," engaged in systematic and horrific torture of prisoners.  In this complaint, Magan is accused of directly ordering, conspiring with and aiding and abetting subordinates in the torture and other human rights abuses of Mr. Abukar. Today, more than twenty years after he fled Somalia, Mr. Ahmed still bears the scars -- physical and emotional -- from the torture he suffered.

The new tsunami In Somalia (inflation)

Inflation creates distortion in the allocation of resources and definitely hurts certain groups. It tends to discourage saving and encourage consumption at fast rate to stay ahead of rising prices. Moreover, the declines of saving rate discourage the capital investment. Unfortunately, it means the economic growth at side of productivity tends to slow down, the fall in productivity means that the supply of new goods and services cannot keep pace with rising demands, putting further upward pressure on price leading to what is know as inflation.

Somali radio stations comply with Islamists' music ban

A Somali radio presenter broadcasts from Mogadishu, April 2010
All but two of Mogadishu's 13 radio stations used to broadcast music
Most radio stations in Somalia have stopped playing music, on the orders of Islamist Hizbul-Islam insurgents who say that songs are un-Islamic.
The stations said they had to comply with the ban as if they did not, they would be putting their lives at risk.
The BBC correspondent in Somalia says this latest order has strong echoes of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
In the past, militants in some areas have banned watching films and football and forced men to grow beards.
Somalia has not had a functioning central government since 1991 and the Islamist militants control large parts of its territory.
The transitional government - backed by African Union troops and UN funds - controls only a small part of the capital, Mogadishu.
'Losing listeners'
The BBC's Mohammed Olad Hassan in Mogadishu says the order to stop playing music and jingles was issued 10 days ago. All but two of the city's 15 radio stations used to broadcast music.
We are using other sounds such as gunfire, the noise of the vehicles and birds to link up our programmes and news
Tusmo radio's Abdulahi Yasin Jama

Residents can now only hear music from the government-controlled radio station and another Kenya-based UN-funded radio station, which has a FM transmitter in Mogadishu, he says.
"We are using other sounds such as gunfire, the noise of the vehicles and birds to link up our programmes and news," said Abdulahi Yasin Jama, Tusmo radio's head of the programmes.
Another radio controller said he feared they would lose listeners and advertisers.
Pop music is genuinely popular in Mogadishu and many people resent being told what they can hear on the radio, our reporter says.
Last week, al-Shabab, the country's other big militant group, closed down BBC radio relay stations in five cities in southern Somalia, including Mogadishu.
On Tuesday, it issued a statement explaining that it ordered the seizure of BBC transmitters in response to sanctions imposed on the group by the UK government.
But Jerry Timmins, head of the BBC World Service's Africa region, said the equipment belongs to the BBC which is independent of the government.
He said the broadcaster's job was to report impartially and accurately and from all sides, including al-Shabab, and the closures deprived Somalis in the south of a vital source of information.
Meanwhile, the UN has warned that hospitals in Mogadishu are being overwhelmed by casualties from fighting in the city.
World Health Organization spokesman Paul Garwood said that last month alone at least 900 injuries were reported at the city's three main hospitals.
"Health care workers are struggling to cope; they are overwhelmed with the huge increase in wounded. It is stretching an already weak health care system to the limit," Paul Garwood told Reuters news agency.
WHO figures show that only 250 qualified doctors and fewer than 900 nurses are working in Somalia.

Somalia: Pirates Target Food, Pushing Up Prices

Nairobi — Pirates operating off Somalia's coast have started targeting vessels operated by Somali businessmen and carrying food - something which is leading to higher food prices in Mogadishu, according to traders.

Thousands of civilians have been killed in fighting between the Western-backed Somali government and Islamist rebels in the last several years in the Horn of Africa nation, which has been mired in civil war since the ousting of a dictator in 1991.

Somalia: 31 killed, 100 wounded in Mogadishu violence



MOGADISHU, Somalia Apr 13 (Garowe Online) - At least 31 people mostly civilians were killed in the Somali capital Mogadishu during heavy armed clashes and bombings on Tuesday, Radio Garowe reports.
The violence started Monday afternoon when Al Shabaab Islamist insurgents used mortars to target Aden Adde International Airport, a heavily fortified compound and guarded by African Union peacekeepers (AMISOM).
At the time, Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, President of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), was flying out of the airport en route to Kampala, Uganda. The 5,300-stron AMISOM force is composed of Ugandan and Burundian soldiers.
Mogadishu hospital [File Photo]
On Tuesday, witnesses and other sources said many of Mogadishu’s districts under the control of insurgents were shelled including Hodan, Howlwadaag, Yaaqshiid, Huriwa and Daynile.

AMISOM spokesman Maj. Behoku Barigye confirmed to reporters that at least two Somali airport employees were killed by insurgent mortars that hit airport grounds yesterday.
But he rejected widespread reports that AMISOM peacekeepers shelled some of Mogadishu’s populated districts.
Ali Muse, an ambulance service worker, said: "We have seen 27 dead bodies and we have assisted 100 wounded civilians."
Medina Hospital sources said some of the wounded victims have died at the hospital, including an old man.
Separately, a series of explosions rocked the front of the Police Academy, killing at least people.
Witnesses said four of the dead were Somali police officers.
Al Shabaab insurgents claimed responsibility for staging the remotely detonated explosions. AMISOM spokesman Maj. Behoku denied that any AMISOM soldier was killed or wounded in the explosion, adding: "Our soldiers were not there."
Mogadishu has been gripped by an Islamist insurgency since 2007, when Ethiopian troops invaded southern Somalia to dislodge Islamic Courts Union militia who had seized control of Mogadishu the previous year.
Upwards of 21,000 people have been killed in the conflict since, with more than 1million civilians displaced.
The insurgents, led by Al Shabaab, have vowed to overthrow the Western-backed TFG in Mogadishu and install an Islamic government. But the West and its allies in the region, especially Ethiopia, fear that the Islamists want to provide a safe haven for Al Qaeda terrorists.

Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, admitted this month that his government had jammed Voice of America’s broadcasting in the country’s Amharic language.
The reasons Meles provided for targeting the station were outrageous, even by Ethiopian standards.
He likened the VOA, the US international public information broadcaster with a track record of professional reporting, to the Radio Television Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) — the infamous radio station that incited violence throughout the Rwandan genocide. Read the story

No to the tripartite plot: Islamist Government soon to come (Part II)

Editor’s note: Following is part two of Mr. Buh’s provocative piece which suggests that there is a new marriage forming between the Wahabi TFG group and some of the most notorious warlords the nation has known. His unorthodox solution-to petition General Mohamed Ali Samatar to lead a renewed effort to reconstruct Somalia-is all the more original.

The Central Region: The Ahlu Sunna divided along clan lines

Somalia Emblem  Somalia's Islamist Groups

Ahlu Sunna Galguduud Wing (Ayr clan)

The pact between Ahlu Sunna and the TFG which was quickly endorsed by the African Union, the Arab League, UN Special Envoy and the Organization of the Islamic Conference was in tatters before it was officially signed. Faction led by the group’s foreign relations office, Sheikh Bashir Abdi Olaad, along with 26 members including Sheikh Abdiqadir Abdirahman (Abu Zakaria) condemned the agreement. This faction made its press statement in Abudwaq town, Galgudud region, in which they labelled the deal as a plot to disintegrate the group. They are of the opinion that the TFG power sharing agreement is an Ethiopian scheme to further its own interest  as there is no incentive for Ahlu sunna (galguduud wing) to sign an agreement with a partner, TFG, they consider as a weak link that share Wahabi creed with Al Shabab and Hizbi – Islam.  Read the whole artical

Ethiopia Hails Little-Known Rebel Group's Demise

Ethiopia says a little known rebel group in the eastern Somali region has renounced the use of force and agreed to join the political process, weeks before nationwide elections. The government also labeled allegations of campaign irregularities as attempts to tarnish the election process.

Ethiopian Communications Minister Bereket Simon says the United Western Somali Liberation Front has given up its attempt to break away from Addis Ababa's rule.

"They had pursued a mistaken past, and now they're desisting from it, so we will respect their right to engage in civilized politics," said Bereket.

The UWSLF has rarely been heard of in recent years. Former U.S. Ambassador to Ethiopia David Shinn said in a recent speech that the group had demonstrated almost no military capacity and rarely issued news releases.

Among their most recent activities was the brief kidnapping of two Red Cross workers in 2006. Reports at the time said the rebels apologized for the abduction, calling it a case of mistaken identity.

With Ethiopia's national elections little more than six weeks away Communications Minister Bereket described the outlook for a fair vote as 'good'. The last election for parliament in 2005 erupted in violence when demonstrators took to the streets to protest alleged vote rigging by the ruling party. At least 193 opposition supporters were killed.

This time, the government has promised to keep order, and has strengthened security to handle any outbreak. But opposition parties have complained vociferously, saying the ruling party's effective control of the electoral machinery makes a fair election impossible.

Bereket dismisses those allegations, calling them an attempt by the opposition to explain away their weaknesses.

"The opposition are crying wolf. Why?  They are crying wolf because they are there to tarnish the whole process. They feel they are losing the whole game and the only objective they have in mind is to tarnish the whole image of the country as well as the electoral process," said Bereket.

The European Union has agreed in principle to send an observer team to monitor Ethiopia's election. But a final agreement is said to be bogged down in a dispute over a government demand that observers agree to abide by a code of conduct.

European diplomats say the mission would not agree to any conditions that violate the long-standing principles used by its election monitoring missions worldwide.

Somalia Islamists al-Shabab ban BBC transmissions

By Peter Greste
East Africa correspondent, BBC News

Islamist fighters
Al-Shabab and its allies control most of southern and central Somalia
The Somali Islamist movement al-Shabab has banned the BBC and closed down transmitters broadcasting the Somali language service inside the country.
Al-Shabab accused the BBC of fighting against Islam and supporting the transitional federal government, which the rebels are fighting to overthrow.
The group said the BBC had been broadcasting the agenda of crusaders and colonialists against Muslims.
The BBC said it was strictly impartial and spoke to all sides in the conflict.
The BBC has been broadcasting its services in Somali, Arabic and English across the country on a series of FM frequencies for at least a decade, and surveys suggest it is one of the most widely listened-to news services in Somalia.
'Strict standards'
Al-Shabab ordered all of the BBC's transmitters to be shut down.
Map
A statement by al-Shabab demanded that any organisation transmitting the BBC, or the Washington-based Voice of America, should cancel their contracts.
Al-Shabab and its allies control most of southern and central Somalia and all but a few districts of the capital, Mogadishu.
They have been fighting to establish an Islamist administration of their own in place of the current government.
The BBC's broadcasts have been taken off the FM bandwidth, but are still available on shortwave and the internet.
In response to the statement, the head of BBC Africa, Jerry Timmins, said the organisation spoke to all sides in the conflict, including al-Shabab, adhered to strict standards of impartiality and editorial independence and rejected any suggestion otherwise.
