  2. Foreign Secretary William Hague:

     

    The UK is committed to developing counter terrorism capability in the Horn of Africa in furtherance of the Government’s counter terrorism objectives under CONTEST. As part of this approach, the UK assists key partner nations to develop effective and sustainable counter terrorism capabilities which operate in line with agreed international human rights standards. By helping countries to undertake counter terrorism activities locally, it targets the problem at source and reduces the risk of a terrorist attack against that nation or another.

     

    The proposal in this case is to gift a UK-built headquarters and pre-trial detention facility, office furnishings, equipment and non-military vehicles to the Somaliland Police Force. The total cost of the proposed gift is £643,225, which will be met by the Government’s Counter Terrorism Programme.

     

    The breakdown of the proposed gift is:

     

    ITEM

    Build costs £387,909

    Generators £43,389

    Office furnishings and equipment £88,863

    Vehicles and Vehicle Maintenance £85,064

    Contingency £38,000

     

     

    Alongside the gift, the UK is providing a package of training and mentoring worth £710,000. The training aims to enhance the Somaliland Police Force’s ability to investigate terrorist threats, recover and examine evidence from crime scenes and build cases for prosecution. The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) will quality assure the custody officers’ training for the pre-trial detention centre.

     

    The proposed gift is not subject to export controls and therefore there is no requirement to consider it against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria. The proposed gift has been scrutinised and approved by a senior, cross-Whitehall Counter Terrorism Programme Approval Board, which has confirmed that it fits with HMG’s strategic and delivery objectives. FCO officials also assessed the project for human rights risks, using the Overseas Security and Justice Assistance guidelines announced by the Foreign Secretary in 2011.

     

    The gifting Minute was laid before the House of Commons yesterday. If, during the period of fourteen Parliamentary sitting days beginning on the date on which the Minute was laid, a Member signifies an objection by giving notice of a Parliamentary Question or of a Motion in relation to the Minute, or by otherwise raising the matter in the House, final approval of the gift will be withheld pending an examination of the objection.

  5. About 23,000 Ethiopians have surrendered to Saudi authorities since a clampdown on illegal migrant workers began in the oil-rich kingdom last week, officials have said.

     

    The clampdown has led to clashes in the capital, Riyadh, with at least five people killed.

     

    Saudi authorities say they are trying to reduce the 12% unemployment rate among native Saudis.

     

    An estimated nine million migrant workers are in Saudi Arabia.

     

    They are said to make up more than half the workforce, filling manual, clerical and service jobs.

     

     

     

    Ethiopia's ambassador in Riyadh, Muhammed Hassan Kabiera, said the embassy had been informed by Saudi officials that some 23,000 Ethiopians had so far handed themselves in.

     

    Some of them have already been repatriated, with the first group arriving in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, on Wednesday, reports from Ethiopia say.

     

    In renewed clashes on Wednesday in Riyadh's Manfuhah district, a Sudanese national was killed, Saudi Arabia's state-owned SPA news agency reports.

     

    Illegal migrants "rioted, hurling rocks at passersby and cars", it quoted police as saying.

     

     

    Police said they intervened and "controlled" the situation, SPA reports.

     

    Manfuhah is home to many migrants, mostly from East Africa.

     

    On Sunday, Ethiopia's Foreign Affairs Minister Tedros Adhanom said he had information that three Ethiopian citizens had been killed in clashes since last week.

     

    However, Saudi authorities say two foreigners have been killed, along with three Saudis.

     

    Riyadh governor Prince Khaled bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz said the clamp down was aimed at illegal migrants, and not any "specific group".

     

    "We will continue these campaigns until we ensure all residents in our country are staying legally," he is quoted by al-Riyadh newspaper as saying.

     

    Earlier this month, the authorities began rounding up the migrants following the expiry of a seven-month amnesty for them to formalise their status.

     

    Nearly a million Bangladeshis, Indians, Filipinos, Nepalis, Pakistanis and Yemenis are estimated to have left the country in the past three months.

     

    More than 30,000 Yemenis have reportedly crossed to their home country in the past two weeks.

     

    Four million other migrants obtained work permits before the deadline expired.
