Somalia President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has condemned the militant group al-Shabab for imposing a weeklong blockade on the southwestern town of Baidoa. Authorities say the Islamist group has cut off supplies in and out of the area, worsening hunger caused by record drought and insecurity. Al-Shabaab set up the blockade Tuesday, cutting off transport to and from Baidoa, the capital of South West state. The blockade, which comes ahead of a planned government military offensive in the region, has affected businesses and resulted in price hikes as vehicles transporting goods from towns such as Mogadishu are stranded. Hussein Mohamud, the chief of staff for Somalia’s president, said the blockade demonstrates that al-Shabab is at war against the people of Somalia. Mohamed Edin, a trader in Baidoa, told VOA businesses will soon be forced to close as supplies dwindle. He said he relies on supplies from Mogadishu that pass through Afgoye but his business has suffered since the blockade. With his stock nearly depleted, Edin said he might be forced to close his business if the blockade continues. According to the United Nations, Baidoa is home to about 600,000 internally displaced people pushed from their homes by the al-Shabab insurgency and drought. Analysts say by imposing the blockade, al-Shabab is affirming its strength and that could worsen the situation in the region. Abdirahman Azari, director of the Mogadishu-based Center for Analysis and Strategic Studies, said al-Shabab is sending direct and indirect messages to the Somali government that they are still in control in parts of the country and can impose sanctions anywhere and people will obey their orders. Azari added that the blockade could jolt the government into an earlier launch of a planned offensive. The Somali government says it is on course to launch Operation Black Lion, which will focus on South West and Jubaland states in the southern part of the country. Government forces with the help of local militias reclaimed part of the central area of the country from al-Shabab control last summer in the first phase of the offensive. Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti are expected to send in about 20,000 troops to bolster Somali forces and clan militia in the second phase of the operation. Abdiaziz Isaack, a security and political analyst at the Hamad Bin Khalifa Civilization Center, said al-Shabab’s blockade on Baidoa is sending a message. He said it demonstrates the al-Shabab’s ability to challenge the government despite local and international efforts to defeat the group. Isaack said al-Shabab is telling the Somali government that it will face stiff resistance when it begins the second phase. The South West state perennially remains the most vulnerable region in Somalia in terms of insecurity and drought. In April, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres visited Baidoa to launch a humanitarian campaign for Somalia, appealing for “massive international aid” to stave off famine. VOA Qaran News

Abu-Dhabi (Caasimada Online) – Dhaxal-sugaha Sacuudiga Amiir Mohamed bin Salman ayaa ku hanjabay inuu xayiraado kusoo rogi doono Imaaraadka Carabta xilli uu wada-sheekeysi gaar ah la yeeshay suxufiyiin sanadkii tegay, waxaa sidaas weriyey wargeyska The Wall Street Journal. Hanjabaadda ayaa timid ayada oo uu jiro muran sii kordhaya oo u dhaxeeya bin Salman iyo madaxweynaha Imaaraadka Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, oo ku saabsan kala aragti duwanaansho ku aadan siyaasadaha gobolka iyo ururka OPEC. Xog lagu heshiiyey inaan la duubin oo uu bixiyey bishii December, ayuu Bin Salman ugu sheegay weriyayaasha inuu Abu Dhabi u diray liis dalabyo ah, ugana digay in Sacuudi Carabiya ay qaadi doonto tallaabooyin ciqaab ah oo ka dhan ah xulufadeeda gobolka, haddii Imaaraadka ay sii wadaan inay boqortooyada ku hagardaamiyaan gobolka. “Waxay kasii xumaan doontaa wixii aan ku sameeyey Qatar,” ayey kasoo xigteen dadkii ka qeyb-galay kulanka. Sanadii 2017, Riyadh ayaa hoggaamisay xayiraad diblomaasiyadeed oo la saaray Doha, oo ay xoojisay go’doomin dhaqaale oo socotay saddex sano, ayada oo ay taageerayaan Abu Dhabi iyo Bahrain. Xiriirka Sacuudi Carabiya iyo Qatar ayaa dib loo soo celiyey 2021. Loolanka gobolka Dhaxal-sugaha iyo bin Zayed ayaa waxay ku jiraan loolan awooded ayaga oo ku tartamaya ku xoog badnaanshaha gobolka Khaliijka, mana wada-hadlin muddo lix bilood ah, sida ay ilo-wareedyo u sheegeen Wall Street Journal. Mohamed bin Salman ayaa u sheegay weriyayaal Sacuudiyaan ah, Imaaraadka Carabta “dhabarka ayey naga toogteen,” wuxuuna ka digay “way arki doonaan waxa aan sameyn karo.” Xiisadda sii kordheysa ayaa walaac ku abuurtay saraakiisha Mareykanka oo ka cabsi qaba in loolan Khaliijka ah uu wiiqi karo dadaallada lagu aas-aasay isbaheysi amni oo ka dhan ah Iran, lagu xalinayo dagaalka Yemen, islamarkaana lagu ballaarinayo xiriirka Israel ee dalalka Muslimka ah. Riyadh iyo Abu Dhabi ayaa dano is-diidan ka leh dalalka Yemen iyo Sudan, halka Sacuudi Carabiya ay cadaadineyso in sare loo qaado qiimaha saliidda caalamka, taasi oo Imaaraadka aysan ku raacsaneyn. Dalka Syria, Sacuudi Carabiya ayaa la wareegtay diiradda dib ugu soo celinta Dimishiq ee Jaamacadda Carabta, inkasta oo ay ku timid dadaal diblomaasiyadeed oo muddo ay ka shaqeysay Imaaraadka Carabta. Sidoo kale, dib ula heshiinta Sacuudi Carabiya ee Iran ee horraantii sanadkan ayaa la yaab ku noqotay Imaaraadka Carabta. Xiisado dhaqaale Dadaalka Sacuudiga uu ilaha dhaqaalihiisa uga dhigayo dhinncyo kala duwan, islamarkaana ku yareenayo ku tiirsanaanta shidaalka, ayaa sidoo kale keentay inuu tartan toos ah la galo Imaaraadka. Amiirka dhaxal-sugaha ah ayaa hiigsanaya inuu soo jiito shirkadaha si ay xaruntooda gobolka ugu raraan Riyadh, ayna furaan xarumo teknooloji, oo ay dhistaan goobo dalxiis iyo sahay, taasoo caqabad ku ah kaalinta Dubai ee ah inay tahay xarunta ganacsi ee Bariga Dhexe. Khilaafka labada hoggaamiye ayaa ku fiday shirkii OPEC ee bishii October, markaasi oo Imaaraadku ku eedeeyay Sacuudi Carabiya inay ku qasbeen inay ogolaadaan yareynta soo saarista saliidda. Imaaraadka ayaa muujiyay sida ay diyaarka ugu yihiin in ay isaga baxaan ururka OPEC, taasi oo muujineysa sida ay uga xun yihiin awoodda Sacuudiga ee ururka. Maamulka Biden ayaa dadaal u galay sidii loo heshiisiin lahaa labada dhinac, iyadoo bishii May ay ka shaqeeyaan kulan ku dhex-maray Mohamed bin Salmaan iyo Sheekh Tahnoun bin Zayed, oo ah walaalka ka yar madaxweynaha Imaaraadka iyo la-taliyaha amniga qaranka Imaaraadka. Hoggaamiyaha Sacuudiga ayaa u sheegay Tahnuun in Imaaraadku aysan faro-gelin xabbad-joojinta Yemen ee uu Sacuudigu hoggaaminayo, wuxuuna u ballan-qaaday Abu-Dhabi tanaasul. Si kastaba, sida laga soo xigtay ilo-wareedyada Wall Street Journal, dhaxal-sugaha ayaa markii dambe u sheegay la-taliyayaashiisa in aysan beddelin siyaasad kasta oo ku wajahan Imaaraadka “Hadda kadib ma aaminayo,” ayaa laga soo xigtay inuu u sheegay.

Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Dowladda federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa ku howlan dagaal ka dhanka ah musuq-maasuqa naafeeyay hay’adaha dowladiga ee dalka. Baaristii ugu horeysay ayaa cadeysay in la xaday 21 Milyan oo dollar oo kamid aheyd lacagihii kasoo xarooday fasaxa shaqada iyo dal jooga ajnabiga, tan iyo 2018-kii. Dhawaan waxaa bilaaban doonta maxkamadeynta dadka ku eedeysan maqnaashaha lacagtaas. Dadka Soomaalidu badankooda kama doodayaan musuq miyaa ka jira hay’adaha dowladda?. Waa adag tahay inay su’aashaas kusoo dhacdo qof xogagaal u ahaa Soomaaliya tan iyo 2004-tii, laakiin waa lagu kala aragti duwanaan karaa sida loo wajahayo iyo waqtiga. Hay’addo kale oo dowladeed ayaa dhawaan la filayaa in lagu bilaabo baaris la xiriirta musuq-maasuq. Sababta aan loo inkiri karin in musuq naafeeyay hay’adaha kala duwa ee dowladda Soomaaliya, waxaa ku cadeynaya dhamaan dadkii iyagoo sabool ah xilalka ka qabtay dowladda ee sanadaha kooban xafiisyada joogay maanta waa milyaneero dabaqyo dhaadheer ku leh Soomaaliya, Kenya, Turkiga iyo Imaaraadka Carabta. Qof laba ama saddex sano xil ka hayay dowladda Soomaaliya oo mushaarkiisa ahaa saddex kun ama afar kun oo dollar haddana milyaneer noqday cadeyn badan uma baahna inuu ku kacay xatooyo xoolo dadweyne. Sidaas darteed lagama doodayo dalka ma la dhacay, balse warbixintaan waxaa kusoo koobi doona waxa ugu yar ee laga faa’iido doono dagaalka musuqa ee hadda socda. Boqolaal siyaasiyiin iyo maamulayaal Soomaali ah oo la ogyahay inay haystaan xoolo ay dalka kasoo dhaceen ayaa dhinaca kale weli haystay sharaf bulshada xageed ah. Dadka waxay ku amaanan inay xoolo fiican tabcadeen mudaddii ay xilka hayeen, iyagana ceeb lama aheyn ee waa ku faanayeen qaarkood. Hadda, haddii uu dagaalka musuqa sii socdo waxaa bilaaban doonta in la kala miirmo. Waxaa yaraan doonta la-macaamilka togan ee bulshada ee dadka noocaas ah, iyaguna waa joojin doonaan inay ku faanaan falkaas foosha xun. Ugu yaraan dagaalka musuqa waxa uu noqon doona mid kala sooca dadka, oo sumadeeya dadka iyaga oo fara maran dowladda u shaqo tegay sanado kadibna soo laabtay iyaga oo milyaneero ah. Isla dadkaasina hadda kadib sharaf kuma dareemi doonaan hantida sidaas kusoo gashay, waxaana bilaaban doonta inay dhuuntaan ama is-dhaqaan oo dhaqaalaha dalka celiyaan, kuwa hadda ku howlana ay nabad galiyaan. Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh ayaa Jimcihii markale ka hadlay la-dagaalanka musuq-maasuqa, wuxuuna ugu baaqay dhamaan dadka ku eedeysan xatooyo xoolo dadweyne inay sharciga horyimaadan oo gar baxaan.

Shirkad Turkish ah ayaa Sacuudi Carabiya siin doonta diyaaradaha aan duuliyaha laheyn (Drone), waxaa sidaas shaacisay Riyadh kadib booqasho uu madaxweynaha Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan ku tegay boqortooyada. Dhowr qandaraas, oo uu ku jiro heshiiska Drone-ka ee lala galay shirkadda gaarka loo leeyahay ee Baykar, ayaa la saxiixay intii uu socday kulan dhex maray Erdogan iyo dhaxal-sugaha Sacuudiga Mohammed bin Salman oo Isniintii ka dhacay magaalada ku teedsan Badda Cas ee Jeddah, waxaa sidaas sheegtay wakaaladda wararka rasmiga ah ee Saudi Press Agency (SPA). Haluk Bayraktar, oo ah madaxa shirkadda soo saarta drone-ka ee sidoo kale uu wax ka maamulo wiil uu sodog u yahay Erdogan, ayaa qoraal uu twitter-ka soo dhigay ugu yeedhay heshiiska “qandaraaskii ugu weynaa ee dhoofinta dhanka difaaca iyo duulista ee taariikhda Jamhuuriyadda Turkey.” Qiimaha uu ku kacayo qandaraaska weli lama shaacin. Erdogan, oo doorashooyinkii May ku guuleystay muddo xileed kale oo shan sano ah, ayaa ku sugnaa Sacuudiga isaga oo billaabay safar uu ku marayo Khaliijka, isaga oo taageero u raadinaya dhaqaalaha sii xumaanaya ee Turkey. Hoggaamiyaha Turkey ayaa la filayaa in goor dambe oo salaasada maanta ah uu tego dalka Qatar. Kadib markii ay ka qeyb-galeen madasha ganacsiga Sacuudiga iyo Turkiga ee Jeddah, Erdogan iyo Amiir Mohammed ayaa ka wada-hadlay “rajooyinka iskaashi wadajir ah,” ayey tidhi SPA. Labada hoggaamiye ayaa saxiixday heshiisyo iskaashi oo khuseeya dhinacyada tamarta, maal-gashi toos ah, difaaca iyo warbaahinta, sida lagu yidhi warbixinta. Waxay intaas ku dartay in saraakiisha Sacuudiga “ay laba qandaraas la saxiixdeen shirkadda Baykar.” Diyaaradaha drone-ka ee ay soo saarto Baykar ayaa lagu isticmaalay dagaallo ka dhacay dalalka Azerbaijan, Libya iyo Ukraine. Sacuudi Carabiya “Waxay heli doontaa diyaaradaha drone-ka iyada oo ujeedadu tahay in kor loo qaado diyaargarowga ciidamada qalabka sida ee Boqortooyada iyo xoojinta awooddeeda difaac iyo wax soo saar,” waxaa sidaas Talaadada yidhi wasiirka difaaca Amiir Khalid bin Salman. Ma sheegin nooca diyaarada aan duuliyaha lahayn ee ay boqortooyadu raadinayso inay hesho. Diblomaasi Carab ah oo ku sugan Riyadh, oo codsaday in aan magaciisa la shaacin, maadaama aan loo ogolayn inuu la hadlo saxaafadda, ayaa sheegay inay tahay nooca TB2 ee Baykar. Bishii la soo dhaafay, Kuwait ayaa sheegtay in ay gashay heshiis 367 milyan oo dollar ah oo ay kusoo iibsaneyso diyaaradaha TB2. Booqashada Erdogan ee toddobaadkan ayaa ah tii labaad ee uu ku tago Sacuudiga tan iyo markii ay dhawaan isku soo dhawaadeen Ankara iyo Riyadh, kuwaas oo xidhiidhkooda uu xumeeyey dilkii 2018-kii ee saxafigii Sacuudiga u dhashay ee Jamal Khashoggi oo lagu dhex dilay qunsuliyadda boqortooyada ee Istanbul. Turkey ayaa ka cadhaysiisay Sacuudiga iyada oo si xooggan u daba-gashay kiiska xilligaas, islamarkaana furtay baadhitaan kadibna warbaahinta caalamka xog ka siisay faah-faahinta sida xun ee dilku u dhacay. Hase yeeshee iyada oo la hagaajinayo xidhiidhka, ayaa Erdogan wuxuu booqday Sacuudiga April 2022, halka Amiir Mohammed uu u safray Turkiga bishii June ee sannadkii hore. Safarka Erdogan ee dalalka Khaliijka ayaa ku soo beegmaya iyadoo Turkey ay la daalaa dhacayso burburka lacagta iyo sicir-barar saameeyay dhaqaalaheeda. Bishii march, Sacuudi Carabiya ayaa 5 bilyan oo dollar ku shubtay Bankiga Dhexe ee Turkey. Source

Mogadishu (Caasimada Online) – Al-Shabab, the notorious Islamist militant group, has tightened its grip over Baidoa, the capital of South West state, Somalia, triggering an outcry from Somali authorities. The group has instituted a blockade, worsening an already grave situation fueled by an unrelenting drought and security turmoil. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia issued a stark condemnation of the militant group for this ruthless action. As a poignant depiction of the severity, Hussein Mohamud, the President’s chief of staff, articulated the prevailing sentiment, stating, “The blockade demonstrates that al-Shabab is at war against the people of Somalia.” The on-the-ground impact of blockade The weeklong blockade threatens local livelihoods and strategically positions al-Shabab to display its force ahead of an impending government-led offensive. The repercussions are far-reaching, with Baidoa businesses teetering on the brink of collapse due to stalled supply chains. Mohamed Edin, a local trader in Baidoa, poignantly captured the dire state of affairs in his statement to VOA, “Businesses will soon be forced to close as supplies dwindle.” He further elucidated the plight of his business, heavily dependent on supplies from Mogadishu. The blockade, he said, has dealt a significant blow to his operations, leading to possible closure if the situation persists. Al-Shabab’s strategy and impact The militant group’s tactics are not lost on analysts, who see the blockade as a symbol of strength aimed at worsening an already dire situation. Abdirahman Azari, director of the Mogadishu-based Center for Analysis and Strategic Studies, elucidated this aspect, “Al-Shabab is sending direct and indirect messages to the Somali government that they are still in control in parts of the country.” Azari opines that the group’s tactics might incite the government to hasten its planned offensive, Operation Black Lion, to retake the South West and Jubaland states in the southern region. Despite the grim outlook, government forces, fortified by local militias, have demonstrated a resilience that previously led to the reclamation of part of the central region from al-Shabab last summer. The next phase of the offensive involves the deployment of approximately 20,000 troops from neighboring Ethiopia, Kenya, and Djibouti, all united in their goal of assisting Somali forces in reclaiming control. The larger picture Abdiaziz Isaack, a security and political analyst at the Hamad Bin Khalifa Civilization Center, sees the blockade as a clear signal from al-Shabab to the Somali government. “Al-Shabab’s blockade on Baidoa is sending a message. It demonstrates the group’s ability to challenge the government despite local and international efforts to defeat them,” he stated. This audacious move comes when the South West state, housing about 600,000 internally displaced persons per United Nations estimates, grapples with profound insecurity and drought. The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who visited Baidoa in April, called for “massive international aid” to prevent a looming famine, a call that now resonates more urgently than ever.
