Police officers of the African Union’s peacekeeping mission in Somalia from Uganda, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Ghana and Zambia gather at a base in Mogadishu on September 17, 2019. PHOTO | TINA SMOLE | AFP Summary AU Commission for Somalia revealed the massive human losses suffered by East African troops in Somalia. In February, it emerged that soldiers who had served in the 2018 to 2022 missions had not been fully paid. AU’s financials for 2021 show amount paid to troop-contributing countries almost tripled from $37.59 million to $100.8 million About $200 million could have been paid out in compensation to families of African Union (AU) peacekeepers killed or injured in Somalia since 2007, in what has been billed as the world’s deadliest peacekeeping mission. More than $175 million of this has gone to compensate the families of soldiers killed on the battlefront, and a further $15 million to those injured or maimed in mission to rout Somalia-based militant group al Shabaab. The AU has also disclosed that at least 3,500 troops from Kenya, Uganda, Burundi and Ethiopia have died in Somalia over the past 16 years in a bloody peace mission that has yet to achieve its intended results. Uganda was the first country to put boots on the ground in 2007 with the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom), which mutated into the African Union Transitional Mission in Somalia (Atmis) in April 2022.

PRESS RELEASE Artificial Intelligence (AI) scams using voice cloning are the new frontier for fraudsters targeting consumers According to the Southern African Fraud Prevention Service (SAFPS), impersonation attacks increased by 264% for the first five months of the year compared to 2021 Access Multimedia Content JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, April 18, 2023/ — Imagine receiving a call, email or SMS from the authorities urgently requesting payment. The details of the request are clear, professional and include personal information unique to you, so there is no reason to doubt it. This scam is fairly common and the majority of consumers are on the lookout for it. Now imagine receiving a call from a loved one and hearing their unmistakable voice on the other end of the line saying that they need money or your account information right away. This may sound like a fraud lifted straight out of science fiction, but – with the exponential development of AI tools – it is a growing reality. Impersonation attacks are on the rise According to the Southern African Fraud Prevention Service (SAFPS), impersonation attacks increased by 264% for the first five months of the year compared to 2021. Just last week, South Africans heard of Dr Mmereka Patience Martha Ntshani seeking legal counsel over potential identity theft by Dr Nandipha Magudumana in the notorious Facebook rapist allegations. Gur Geva, founder and CEO of iiDENTIFii (www.iiDENTIFii.com), says, “The technology required to impersonate an individual has become cheaper, easier to use and more accessible. This means that it is simpler than ever before for a criminal to assume one aspect of a person’s identity.” The growing threat of voiceprint attacks Last week in the United States, the Federal Trade Commission issued an alert urging consumers to be vigilant for calls in which scammers sound exactly like their loved ones. All a criminal needs is a short audio clip of a family member’s voice – often scraped from social media – and a voice cloning program to stage an attack. The potential of this technology is vast. Microsoft, for example, has recently piloted an AI tool that, with a short sample of a person’s voice, can generate audio in a wide range of different languages. While this has not been released for public use, it does illustrate how voice can be manipulated as a medium. Exposing fault lines in voice biometrics “Historically voice has been seen as an intimate and infallible part of a person’s identity. For that reason, many businesses and financial institutions used it as a part of their identity verification toolbox,” says Geva. Audio recognition technology has been an attractive security solution for financial services companies across the globe, with voice-based accounting enabling customers to deliver account instructions via voice command. Voice biometrics offers real-time authentication, which replaces the need for security questions or even PINs. Barclays, for example, integrated Siri to facilitate mobile banking payments without the need to open or log into the banking app. Visa partnered with Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank to introduce a biometric voice and voice-based authentication platform for e-commerce which uses biometric sensors built into a standard smartphone. “As voice-cloning becomes a viable threat, financial institutions need to be aware of the possibility of widespread fraud in voice-based interfaces. For example, a scammer could clone a consumer’s voice and transact on their behalf,” says Geva. The rise of voice-cloning illustrates the importance of sophisticated and multi-layered biometric authentication processes. Geva adds, “Our experience, research and global insight at iiDENTIFii has led us to create a remote biometric digital verification technology that can authenticate a person in under 30 seconds, but more importantly it triangulates the person’s identity, with their verified documentation and their liveness.” iiDENTIFii uses biometrics with liveness detection, protecting against impersonation anddeep fake attacks. “Even voice recognition with motion requirements are no longer enough to ensure that you are dealing with a real person. Without high security liveness detection, synthetic fraudsters can use voice cloning, along with photos or videos to spoof the authentication process.” Geva concludes, “While identity theft is growing in scale and sophistication, the tools we have at our disposal to prevent fraud are intelligent, scalable and up to the challenge.” Distributed by APO Group on behalf of iiDENTIFii.

DP World has kicked off the development of a new edible oil terminal at the Port of Berbera in Somaliland. It has already agreed to a long-term lease for the facility. The edible oil terminal will be the latest addition to Berbera’s growing trade ecosystem, following the recent opening of the Berbera Economic Zone (BEZ), 15 kilometers from the port along the Berbera to Wajaale road (Berbera Corridor) that connects to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. DP World said it plans to transform Berbera, which sits alongside one of the world’s busiest sea routes, into an integrated maritime, logistics and industrial trade hub to serve the Horn of Africa, a region with a population of more than 140 million people. The terminal will initially have a storage capacity of 18,000 tonnes, which will be expanded as demand grows. It will be able to service vessels with a draft of up to 16 meters, allowing Berbera Port to handle bulk imports of edible oil for the first time. The ability to import oil in bulk and package it locally will make edible oil more affordable for people in the region and create jobs locally. The initial phase of the terminal is already fully leased on a long-term basis to Mzahim Investment LLC, a subsidiary of Essa Al Ghurair Investments (EGI) of the United Arab Emirates. Mzahim Investment will also develop a local packaging plant in Berbera to supply existing customers in Somaliland and the wider Horn of Africa, which could employ up to 100 people. Suhail Albanna, CEO and Managing Director of DP World Middle East and Africa, said, “Our development of the edible oil terminal is a game changer for the region and is another example of how we are reducing the cost to trade by finding solutions that meet the needs of our customers, while having a positive impact on local communities in terms of job creation and easier access to goods. As part of the Berbera port and economic zone ecosystem, this facility is the type of integrated port infrastructure that attracts international investors such as EGI looking to get closer to their customers.” Essa Abdulla Al Ghurair, Chairman of Essa Al Ghurair Investments, said, “As a UAE-based family business, we have traded with the region for nearly 40 years. Having a facility in Berbera will continue to strengthen our business ties with the region. The presence of DP World played a significant role towards encouraging businesses like ours to invest in the region. The Berbera edible oil facility will allow us to manufacture locally, ensuring essential commodities such as edible oil are affordable and freshly available to the locals. Through manufacturing, we can play a role in creating employment and nurturing talent, especially in the skilled and semi-skilled workforce.” Maritime professional Qaran News
