Both governments used to fund Al-Shabab before. Qatar and Saudi Arabia are not willing to see Somalia with effective government, and their battle relates to oil that Somalia is rich in on its ground. Somali security personnel confirmed that Qatar and Saudi Arabia were behind the discontinuation of the fight against Al-Shabab.This brought the sacking of former director of national security agency.

Abdalla Tarbiici is Dir clan, Surre, Fiqi Omar sub-clan, and he doesn’t speak too much. He is a Colonel who joined Somali security forces in 2009. Abdalla Tarbi’ took his training on security and safety in Sudan, graduated from Africa International University in Sudan, faculty of science and microbiology. When Mr. Abdalla went back home in 2000, he founded Plasma University in Mogadishu in which he became the president. Farah Abdukadir and Abdikarim Hussein Guled supported him in establishing the university and it is where Dam Jadid recruits from the youth. Abdalla Tarbii’s first office was that of the fromer national security Chief, Mohamed Sheekh. He was then appointed as head section of pirates during when Ahmed Mo’allim Fiqi was the head of the agency. When the religious group of Dam Jadid took control of Villa Somalia, Abdalla Tarbi’i was chosen to be deputy national security agency director. President Hassan Gargurte was initially planning to Appoint Abdalla as chief commander of intelligence forces, but foreign countries rejected that plan. Bashir Gobe, director of national security agency and his deputy, Abdalla Tarbii’ are not friends now because many young soldiers in the agency and Dam Jadid are campaigning to have Abdalla named to the top position. Col. Abdalla meets with president Gargurte every night by giving a report and have close contact and confidence with Farah Abdukadir and Abdikarim Dhega-jun, and he takes all his time in the presidency.

OPINION
When it comes to politics the country is not about to gain a foothold and move ahead with its contemporaries. The political turmoil between the various political actors in Somalia has become a stumbling block to the way forward and healing the wounds that apparently stemmed from the fall of the former central government. The political entities usually talk of what is neither here nor there about the past or the present but keep turning a blind eye to the status quo and the realities on the ground. They don’t consider the values and the crucial factors that will turn the corner for Somalia to stand on its own legs and develop swiftly from every aspect. The philosophy by the leaders in today’s’ Somalia is basically rooted in clan ideology for one thing and the other is opportunism, power greediness and selfishness.
They entertain people with clan politics to keep them isolated from one another with no integration, solidarity and national harmony. They conceal and never touch that the Somalis are brotherly people in the real sense of the word by religion, language, color, culture, race, and they are flesh and blood. The country is crying out for a sustainable peace and security for twenty three years running as for the Somalis are tired to death and fed up with the violence, insecurity, explosions and would like to see light at the end of the tunnel. Obviously there is no need for the political authorities and groups to bridge the gap between them through a dialogue or reconciliation as there is no any deep division among them but what is missing here is that they have miserably failed to make a mutual give and take and engage in power sharing with one leader is becoming the president and others are in wait for their turn democratically. On the contrary all are vying to be inaugurated as presidents to take the helm and lead the country at a same time and that is neither possible nor practical.
Actually they have nurtured a cold calculation of mind and happy-go-lucky attitude as to future development, progress and political trends and never take pity on the number of innocent people being killed, maimed and displaced day in day out and others living in appalling conditions. It will not take much these leaders to come together and join hands for their own good if they want to emerge as statesmen and highly notable politicians without beating around the bush and going to a blind alley. Some of the Somalis even seem to have been influenced one way or another by the culture and behavior of the current leaders by placing their narrow interest without giving a shit about the interest of their fellow countrymen. This is common at public places like hospitals.
However, the leaders should live with the realities and not drag the country into more bloodshed, wanton killings and destruction. Surely the Somali innocent population have taken the brunt of what happened in the country and they are the real victims in the disastrous situations. It is time for us to end the history in the making of our own making and set things to rights.

MPs Continue Paying Price for Defending Human Rights

Assassinations of MPs in Somalia and Yemen in recent days are just the latest cases of MPs paying the ultimate price for defending fundamental human rights and exercising their right to freedom of expression, says the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) as it marks Human Rights Day 2013.
Somali MP Feisal Warsame Mohamed was killed on 6 December when a car bomb blew up his vehicle in Mogadishu. On 22 November, Yemeni MP Abdulkareem Jadban was gunned down in Sana’a in what seemed to be politically motivated attacks to silence two outspoken MPs.
These two killings highlight a worrying ongoing trend around the world of MPs being persecuted, intimidated, attacked or even killed.
“Such crimes are an attack on democracy itself. Authorities should ensure perpetrators are brought to justice quickly. Unfortunately, what we see too often is impunity, which only leads to further crimes against MPs,” says the IPU head of human rights programmes, Rogier Huizenga.
So far this year, IPU’s Committee on the Human Rights of Parliamentarians has examined allegations of human rights violations against 270 legislators (241 men and 29 women) in 40 countries. Africa accounts for 42 per cent of cases, followed by Asia (38 per cent), the Americas (14 per cent) and Europe (6 per cent). Seventy-six per cent of those targeted belong to opposition parties.

Most violations either relate to attacks on MPs’ physical integrity, such as murder, enforced disappearance or torture, or to the ability to carry out their democratic mandate. This can be by suppressing freedom of expression and freedom of assembly, or through undue invalidation, suspension or revocation of the parliamentary mandate.
Created in 1976, the IPU Committee on the Human Rights of Parliamentarians provides concrete and effective support to individual MPs who suffer abuse

Foreign Fighters Serving With Al-Shabaab in Somalia

Foreign Fighters Serving With Al-Shabaab in Somalia

Raffaello Pantucci and A.R. Sayyid

 

Terrorism Monitor (Jamestown Foundation)

 

December 3, 2013

 

The role of foreign fighters in al-Shabaab was brought to public attention once again in October with the release by al-Kata’ib (Shabaab’s media wing) of a video entitled: “It’s an eye for an eye: the Woolwich attacks.” [1] The video featured ten British jihadis who had died fighting alongside al-Shabaab as well as one Somali-Norwegian shown carrying out the massacre at Nairobi’s Westgate Mall. The video appeared to confirm the prominent role of foreigners inside the East African terrorist networks (Telegraph, October 25; BBC, October 18). The reality, however, is more complicated, with evidence indicating that the size of the foreign fighter contingent in East Africa has been in flux, with a number dying in a complicated internal struggle from which Ahmad Abdi Godane (a.k.a. Abu Zubayr) has emerged victorious. 

 

The most prominent casualty amongst this foreign fighter contingent was Omar Hammami, the American who rose within al-Shabaab to become its unofficial poster-boy. Increasingly angered by what he saw as the “authoritarian” approach adopted by Godane, he lashed out through videos and on his Twitter account, claiming he was under threat from the Shabaab leadership. Hammami survived one attempt on his life before succumbing to an assassin’s bullet on September 12. Dying alongside him was Osama al-Britani, a British-Pakistani national believed to be Habib Ghani, a long-standing British fighter in the region who was closely linked to the semi-mythical “white widow” Samantha Lewthwaite, widow of one of the July 7, 2005 bombers of London’s underground system (Daily Mail, September 13). 

 

The deaths of the two men came as the capstone of a series of foreign fighter deaths under mysterious circumstances. One of the first to fall was Bilal al-Berjawi, a British-Lebanese sub-commander within the group who was killed by a drone strike in January 22, 2012. A month later his companion Muhammad Sakr was also killed under similar circumstances. While the direct cause of death was clear, the circumstances that enabled the drones to find these individuals were not. 

 

In an apparent attempt to clarify these circumstances, al-Kata’ib made the unusual step of releasing a video which purported to be a confession by a young Somali who claimed to have helped direct the drone strikes against Bilal al-Berjawi and Muhammad Sakr. The confessional video seemed aimed at emphasizing that the two men had died as the result of offensive operations by the group’s enemies rather than executed by the group itself, suggesting there was some doubt that this was the case. [2]  

Evidence of an internal dispute over the targeting of foreign fighters was found in other areas. For example, in the wake of al-Berjawi’s death, there was a reported exodus of foreigners from Somalia. In late April 2013, senior leaders within the organization published a fatwa (legal pronouncement in Islam) specifically ordering that Omar Hammami, Osama al-Britani and Egyptian Khatab al-Masri not be targeted for assassination. [3] In mid-2010 there was still strong evidence that Westerners, from the UK at least, were providing a fairly steady stream of young warriors to join the Somali group, but the indicators over time have been negative. With the rise of jihad operations in Syria and other Arab Spring countries, young Westerners no longer saw the appeal of joining Godane’s increasingly xenophobic jihad.

 

For its part, al-Shabaab appears more eager to reach out to the foreign community than before. The video “Woolwich Attack: It’s an Eye for an Eye” came in the wake of a YouTube video published by the group that described the journey of a group from Minneapolis who left the United States to join al-Shabaab (the video has since been removed from the Internet). The video eulogized the fallen Westerners in a manner that seemed aimed at recruiting people to come to Somalia and to illustrate how the fight that al-Shabaab was undertaking was part of a larger conflict directed by core al-Qaeda. 

Close examination of the videos and the records of the fallen men illustrates that these cases are, for the most part, historical rather than current. The Minneapolis group moved from the United States to Somalia in a series of waves dating back to 2007. The known British fighters mentioned all seem to have travelled to the conflict before 2010. In some cases, court documents identify individuals who fought alongside al-Shabaab and then returned home. In others, networks back in the UK that were providing support and funding for fighters were disrupted, yielding information on when individuals left and how long they required financial support. [4] Some of those provided with support through these networks are now reported dead. One man, identified as “CF” in court documents, first tried to travel to Afghanistan to fight, but was dissuaded by the difficulties encountered in entering that country and instead settled for Somalia. [5] 

 

Having said all of this, there is still some evidence that Godane retains the loyalty and support of some of his foreign cadres. Part of this is evidenced through various media outlets, like the pro-Godane Twitter feed @MYC_Press, which is widely speculated to be run by Samantha Lewthwaite. Whether run by Lewthwaite or not, the account is clearly written by someone whose mother tongue is colloquial British English. Similarly, all of the videos mentioned in this piece are narrated by Abu Omar, an English-speaking Shabaab fighter who has a very clear grasp of the languages and culture of the West, most likely indicating strong foreign links. In terms of the Westgate incident, the growing evidence of a strong link to Somali diaspora elements from Norway suggests the group is still able to call upon its foreign links to conduct audacious operations. 

 

However, the dilemma remains about what role foreign fighters will have in the new organization being crafted by Godane. In April 2013, an open letter to al-Qaeda leader Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri was released by Ibrahim al-Afghani (a.k.a. Abu Bakr al-Zaylai), in which al-Afghani called for the al-Qaeda leader to step into an increasingly fractious battle within al-Shabaab that was threatening to tear the organization apart. At the heart of the division was a split between the local and international fighters, with the two groups divided over al-Shabaab’s direction (African Review [Nairobi], April 9, 2013). Interestingly, it seemed as though the foreign contingent was focused on consolidating power within Somalia, while the faction led by Godane was more interested in expanding al-Shabaab’s international reach, possibly to live up to its role as an al-Qaeda affiliate. 

 

It is possibly within this split that we see the seeds of the Westgate incident as well as an explanation of the future role Godane sees for the foreign fighters in his group. While the Westgate plot clearly used assets within Kenya and is therefore in part a product of domestic radicalization issues inside Kenya, it was nevertheless directed and claimed by Godane’s al-Shabaab network. The intent was to mount a large-scale incident to attract international attention alongside other major international jihadist attacks, such as this year’s In Aménas attack, the 2008 Mumbai attack and other large-scale terrorist operations in which mass casualties have been ascribed to al-Qaeda or its affiliates. 

 

At the same time, the group’s latest video release pointed to an eagerness to place the Somali cause within a larger ideological arc (highlighting the causes of the Uyghur and Rohignya as examples where the West was proving it did not care about Muslims) and also called upon individuals to conduct terrorist plots in the West. Al-Shabaab has previously refrained from calling openly for such terrorist operations. Delivered clearly and coherently in English, the rhetorical shift is something clearly aimed at a Western audience.  

 

The danger for Western security officials is that the group has finally made the long-awaited strategic decision to focus efforts outside of Somalia. At the same time, the decision to make this shift seems to come at a moment when the group is having less success in attracting Western fighters to its ranks, thus depriving them of the most effective tool to launch an attack in the heart of the West. With Syria currently dominating jihadists’ attention, this dynamic is unlikely to change substantially in the near future. In the longer-term, Godane’s clear interest in living up to his group’s al-Qaeda affiliation would suggest more incidents aimed at Western targets in Africa at least are likely.

Bishop Bertin: we must continue to respond to the tragedies of Somalia

(Vatican Radio) Somalia, on the tip of the horn of Africa, is widely seen as a nation ravaged by drought and conflict, at the top of the global corruption index, home to gangs of warlords who sabotage humanitarian aid efforts and one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists and aid workers.

But a September conference in Brussels, the third of its kind, aimed to focus the attention of the international community on the progress made in Somalia over the last year as well as mobilize resources for the one-year-old Somali regime and assist it in the country’s reconstruction.

The conference set out a plan for Somalia’s reconstruction and has been successful in receiving over 815 million US dollars in financial pledges.

Meanwhile, Al-Shabaab Islamist militia have abandoned their posts in Mogadishu spurring hope that the new government will guarantee a more efficient management of food aid, with the support of the international community and the protection of African Union forces.

Vatican Radio’s Linda Bordoni asked Bishop Giorgio Bertin of Djibouti, Apostolic Administrator of Somalia’s only Catholic diocese, Mogadishu, if life has improved for ordinary Somalis…

Listen to the interview…

Bishop Bertin says that life is returning to Somalia very slowly, however, he says, although there is a sense of hope “the enemies of hope, the enemies of peace, the enemies of reconciliation are still there”.

The Bishop says that “the answer is that we should be more perseverant than the evil forces. Those who opt for life, for hope, for respect should be more determined and persevering than those who are against it”.

Bertin says that Pope Francis’s option for the poor is a great source of inspiration for him. “It reminds of our engagement for the poor, an engagement that should be intelligent in the sense that we should find out the economic, political and not only humanitarian ways to come out of extreme poverty”..

He says it is also about keeping awareness high and points out that Somalia is a forgotten nation, in the news only when a tragic event hits the headlines.

Rape, The International Community, and Somali Authorities.

International donors must not turn a blind eye on abuses in Somalia. They must do more than dialogue or talk to defend the rights of Somali women and minorities in Somalia. It’s obvious that their money is the life line of Somali National Army and they are the ones who are committing most of the damaged against innocent women in Somalia.

On the other hand, Somaliland which is part of Somalia, but seeking international recognition, as separate nation are committing crimes against minorities and women. Both areas in Somalia, South and North are enjoying millions of dollars from International communities to subsidize hideous crimes against our people.

So the moral question we civil human beings ought to ask ourselves is, Is the international Community’s becoming complicity to these crimes knowingly or unknowingly? Because the money or the financing they are providing for this people has become part of facilitating these crimes against Somali people, particularly women and minorities? We cannot any longer be silent about these shocking crimes against our women and our minority people.

I personally do not care about fight against terror, as long as, our women been raped by thugs paid by international community’s. Some argued that , we must work with Somali government in Somalia, because we do not want  to see Somalia to fall back, Hello…Somalia is falling back now, whilst their weak people have been raped, tortured or killed on expenses of the International donors money. Even, AMISOM soldiers had accused of committed rape against Somali woman, no one has done anything so far, and Somali government chose not seek justice for that young girl, since they also jailed raped girls in their jails.

I urge all countries around the world to help our women and minority communities in Somalia.

Somalia MP's Assissination points at the President.

SOMALIA MP’S Assassination Points at the President of Somalia

On December 6, 2013, Mohamed Warsame Mohamed (a.k.a. Faisal), who was a member of the Somali Federal Parliament was brutally assassinated in front of the presidential palace (Villa Somalia) in Mogadishu. Reports suggest that an explosive device was taped in his car which blasted shortly after leaving the Palace. Mr. Faisal dead minutes after the attack.

Reliable sources say that President Hassan Sheikh Mohamed called Mr. Faisal and requested him to come to the presidency for discussion; the MP accepted the President’s suggestion and drove to the palace. The source say MP’s car was checked in three heavily guarded security check points on the road to the presidential palace, some of them run by Amisom (AU peace keeping mission in Somalia.)   We do not know what the two men discussed, but we do know they were staunch political rivals. The explosion took place after the meeting had ended and Mr.Faisal drove just few miters outside the main gate of the heavily guarded presidential compound.

Mr. Faisal, who hails from the semi-autonomous  region of Puntland where the Islamist groups have less political influence, was  dubbed as “liberal” and “federalist” and he had been staunchly opposing what he called ”damul-jadiid power grab.”   (Damul-jadiid is the Somalia branch of the Muslim Brotherhood) and the inner circle of President Hassan Shelkh Mohamud.
But the important clash of ideas between ”Damul jadiid” and MP Faisal and his colleagues has been escalated by the recent political infighting between president Mohamud and the outgoing Prime Minster Abdi Farah Shirdon, Mr. Faisal, who was the chairman of an important parliamentary committee, and a good debater, spread-headed MPs who were against the motion to oust the Prime Minster; because of his role in saving the ousted Prime Minister, he had become the media man of Shridon’s camp.

He attracted media and gave a plenty of interviews to international media outlets including BBC Soamali and VOA Somali in the run up to the parliamentary session that Shirdon was voted out. The most interesting debate on the political bickering between Mr Faisal and his rivals was held by BBC Somalia service on November 29, 2013. In that debate he made several accusations against the president and his “Damul jadiid” group, he openly accused the president of power grab and unconstitutional steps. He also warned that “Damul jadiid” was taking the country into a dark path, may be like that of Egypt.

Mr. Faisal explicitly warned his colleagues at the parliament that that president Hassan will use his security forces called (Alfa group) to intimidate or harm the MPs who oppose his plan to impeach the Prime Minister. That foretelling is very important for the investigation of Faisal’s assassination, if there will be one. Some sources say that the MP was verbally threatened by his opponents.
Interestingly, Al shabaab terror group did not so far claim the responsibility of this killing. As demonstrated by the recent Wastage Mall attack, Al shabaab do not mince at its words in such occasions and always rush to claim their heinous acts. To kill an MP in front of the Presidential palace would be major publicity for Al shabaab. The lack of claim by Al shabaab will understandably fuel the suspicion that the MP was assassinated by the security forces he foretold.

9_DEC_2013AAlthough one can’t rule out that Al shabaab was involved in this bombing,  some Somali MPs, the outgoing  Prime Minister, Puntland and relatives of the slain MP all explicitly or implicitly point fingers at President Mohamud being behind  this assassination. Some security experts to whom the author spoke suggested that this is not necessarily the work of Al shabaab. The former central bank governor Yusuf Abrar has reportedly resigned because of fear of her life after she refused to sign up corruption deals, and some source say that she was threatened by some of the president’s close aides..

The election of Hassan Sheikh Mahamoud as president in Sept. 2012 was applauded by Somalis and the West as a major success and important step toward peace and stability in the troubled Horn of African nation, some analysts suggested that Somalia may recover from its number one failed state status. Unfortunately these assumptions soon turned to be elusive and the president did not live up to the expectations. He did not came up with strategies and policies that can bring the country back together and end the 23 -year- long catastrophe. His authoritarian style of rule reminds the Somali people about the days of Siyad Barre, the former military ruler of Somalia, and even some claim Mr Mohamud is dictator in the making.

Ironically, President Mohamud stood in front of the UN General Assembly in last September and criticized Bashar Al Assad of Syria for killing his own people; he was right because Assad’s slaughter is contemptible. But if it turns out that Mohamud was behind the killing of his own MP, then President Mohamud joins ranks with the likes of Asad of Syria.

The recent political infighting, the dramatic resignation of the central bank governor, the assassination of MP Faisal, the strained relations with the regions of Puntland/Jubbaland/Somaliland, unabated rape scandals, and the quarreling with the EU for direct aid, all point out that the high hopes put on Mohamud’s government are dashed and the credibility of the President himself is seriously damaged if not destroyed.

Xamar iyo Masiibooyinka..............

Xamar iyo Masiibooyinka aan dhamaadka lahayn:

Ilaa iyo 1991koodii waxaa magaaladda Xamar ka dhacayey falal iyo Masiibooyin aad u foolxun oo Soomaali oo dhan saameeyey. Xamar waxay noqotey meel aan marnaba Dilka, Dhaca, Kufsiga, Boobka iyo Xasuuqa bini'aadamka aan lagala xishoon ama aan laga baqin in lagu sameeyo.

Waxaa marka aan ahayn been abuur ineey noqotey meel la rogey, oo Illaah u caroodey. Waxaan hubaa in nala la farey in dhulka Ilaah u carrodo laga fogaado, oo xitaa haddey dani kugu qasabto inaad martid, inaad ku martid orod iyo adoo cararaya.

Umaleyn maayo hadalkaan caawa qorayo, oo ii ah waqti dambe in qof Soomaalinimo sheeganaya, oo aan ahayn kuwii fafalkaa foosha-xun geeystey uu jirro oo hadalkeyga beeninaya ama beenin kara.

Sababtaas baa waxaa Soomaali ku waajibtey ineey Xamar ka cararraan oo ka guuraan, sida ugu dhaqso badan, ma noqon karto qof bini'aadam ah iska daa muslimnimo ku darsadey inuu hooy ka dhigan karo meeshaas.

Haddii aan intaas la garanna, Soomaali waxaa ku waajibey dhib iyo Silic aan dhamaad lahayn.

Member of Parliament killed inside of Villa Somalia by Damul-jadiid.

Mogadishu Butchers commit another crime against innocent Member of Parliament.

What happened today inside of Villa Somali can only be described designed operation to commit cold blooded murder against innocent and lawmaker of Somali Parliament Member. And they successfully completed the mission today.

Now every one of you must be wondering why the MP’s death and who’s behind this abominable action of taking this decent man life. Let me give you very important information. The victim was having ongoing disagreement with thugs in Damul-Jadiid occupy in Villa Somalia. It started when they falsified his name and pretended that he was in favor of removing outgoing Prime Minister Shirdon, which he made very clear that he had no intentions of doing such thing and also gave interviews to tell the public what was going on and how the situation is deteriorating beyond any body imagination.

Furthermore, He emphasized this motion must be defeated in the parliament. Because it has no legal basis and it’s frivolous. Therefore the thugs of Villa Somalia didn’t take too kindly and did what criminal minds do usually, threat the MP directly bodily harm to his life and that came from none other than president himself.

Nevertheless, the victim did what he thought was right but unfortunately the monkeys that are pretending to be members of parliament did what  president wanted and in the process collected their bananas. Their action didn't discourage him the least but rather animated him to draft other motion which was designed to empower the incoming Prime minister. That was the last straw for the Mafia occupying Villa Somalia. They carried out their deadly intentions with audacious fashion.

The only thing left is what we are going to do about it.
