LASANOD, Somalia (Caasimada Online) – At least one person was killed and several others were injured in a mortar attack on the main hospital in LasAnod, a disputed city in Somaliland region in Somalia, during an upsurge of violence on Tuesday. Dr. Ahmed Abdi, a doctor at the hospital, confirmed that four shells hit the hospital, causing critical injuries to some of the eight people who were wounded. The attack destroyed two of the hospital’s three ambulances, exacerbating an already dire situation. The conflict in LasAnod, Somalia LasAnod has been the site of ongoing violence between security forces of Somaliland and clan militia that wish to be part of Somalia. Somaliland, which broke away from Somalia three decades ago, seeks international recognition as an independent country. However, its claims to Las-Anod are disputed by the neighboring Somali state of Puntland. The conflict has resulted in the displacement of over 185,000 people, with tens of thousands fleeing to Ethiopia. Image showing the debris of the hospital building in LasAnod, Somalia after the attack. The hospital, which faces a severe shortage of drugs, was already overwhelmed with patients recovering from earlier fighting that had killed dozens of people. Diplomats and humanitarian groups have expressed concern about the escalating violence in the area, with the United Nations warning that the indiscriminate shelling of civilians is unacceptable and must stop. MSF’s response to the crisis The medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF), which supports the hospital in Las-Anod, reported that at least 35 people had died and over 60 others had been wounded in the recent fighting. The charity condemned the violence and called for an end to the attacks on civilians. “Indiscriminate violence against civilians is unacceptable,” MSF said in a statement. “Our hospital is approaching its capacity, and we urge all parties to respect the neutrality of healthcare facilities and staff.” Somaliland government denies responsibility In response to the mortar attack on the hospital, Somaliland’s defense ministry denied that the army was responsible and described reports of the attack as “fake news” intended to damage the army’s reputation. The government has blamed the unrest on “anti-peace groups and terrorism” and has alleged that the al-Shabab extremist group has supported some of the attacks. The United Nations and international partners have called for an end to the violence and have urged all parties to respect the neutrality of healthcare facilities and staff. Somaliland’s President, Muse Bihi Abdi, met with the visiting U.S. deputy chief of mission to discuss the crisis last week.

Washington (Caasimada Online) – Minnesota lawmaker Rep. Ilhan Omar has strongly condemned the recent Israeli settler rampage in the West Bank town of Hawara. Omar has called for the United States to hold accountable those who violated international law during the incident. The attack torched dozens of cars and houses, causing the loss of innocent lives and injuries to over 100 people. “This comes against the backdrop of massive settlement expansion and de facto annexation of the West Bank by the most right-wing Israeli government in history – moves that would erase any hope for a two-state solution,” Omar said in her most extensive comments on Israel-Palestine since being removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over her previous comments concerning Israel. Ilhan Omar’s past controversial remarks In February 2019, Rep. Omar faced significant criticism when she tweeted that support for Israel among U.S. lawmakers was “all about the Benjamins.” The remarks drew strong condemnations from both sides of the political aisle, leading Omar to apologize unequivocally for her comments and acknowledge the painful history of antisemitic tropes. Despite the previous controversy, Rep. Omar co-sponsored a resolution with stalwart pro-Israel Democratic members of Congress shortly before the vote, “recognizing Israel as America’s legitimate and democratically and condemning antisemitism.” Omar insisted that she would “continue to speak up because representation matters. I am here to stay, and I am here to be a voice for harms around the world and advocate for a better world.” FILE – In this Jan. 31, 2020, file photo, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., participates in a panel during a campaign event for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders in Clive, Iowa. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File) Ilhan Omar calls for accountability Regarding the current state of affairs in the Middle East, Rep. Omar emphasized that “violence only begets violence. These violent outbursts have taken innocent Palestinian and Israeli lives and traumatized many,” Omar said she was heartened by the pro-peace, pro-justice demonstrations of both Jewish and Arab-Palestinians across Israel right now. Rep. Omar stressed that the Biden administration “must seek full accountability for any violations of international law and ensure that our own U.S. tax dollars are not funding human rights violations.” “Putting human rights at the center of foreign policy and supporting a rules-based international order means demanding accountability for any violations, whether they are our allies or adversaries,” she added. Rep. Omar’s comments represent the most extensive remarks on the settler rampage from a U.S. lawmaker, despite four congressional delegations visiting the region last week. However, many of those present declined to comment on their visits or meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose far-right allies actively fomented anti-Arab racism immediately preceding the attacks. Expectations for Israel to pursue full accountability U.S. officials have said they expect Israel to pursue full accountability for the settlers responsible for the violence, with “equal rigor” as it does for Palestinians who carry out attacks against Israelis. However, there are concerns that Israel may not hold the settlers accountable transparently and unbiasedly, which would only further exacerbate tensions in the region. Background on Israeli settlements in the West Bank The Israeli settlements in the West Bank have long been a contentious issue between Israel and the Palestinians. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, as they are built on land occupied by Israel during the 1967 war, which is recognized as Palestinian territory under international law. Despite this, Israel has continued expanding the settlements, increasing tensions and violence between Israelis and Palestinians. The settlements are seen as a major obstacle to establishing a viable Palestinian state, as they fragment the West Bank and make it increasingly difficult for Palestinians to access their own land. The recent Israeli settler rampage in the West Bank town of Hawara has further escalated regional tensions. The incident is just one example of the ongoing violence and instability that plagues the area, with both sides blaming each other for the continued conflict. US Influence in the region The United States has historically been a critical player in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with American aid and support playing a significant role in the region. However, the current Biden administration has taken a more measured approach to the issue, with officials emphasizing the need for a two-state solution and a commitment to human rights. Rep. Omar’s comments reflect the growing frustration among some lawmakers and activists over the region’s lack of progress toward peace. The continued expansion of Israeli settlements and the violence and discrimination Palestinians face have led many to question the U.S. government’s support for Israel and its regional policies. Despite these challenges, some remain committed to resolving the conflict peacefully. Rep. Omar’s emphasis on the need for accountability and a commitment to human rights is an important step toward achieving that goal. It remains to be seen how the situation will progress, but one thing is clear: the need for a just and lasting peace in the region has never been more urgent. The post Rep. Ilhan Omar calls on U.S. to hold Israel accountable appeared first on Caasimada Online.

Somaliland forces shelled Laascaanood General Hospital Hargeisa (Comment ) — In Hargeisa the mood is sombre among supporters of President Muse Bihi Abdi, who was Somali Air Forces colonel before defecting to join the Somali National Movement forces four decades ago. A former senior adviser of Bihi’s predecessor confided in me that “his designs to renew the Somaliland political system through presidential elections following the same old pattern have failed. His political future is in question.” Bihi controls the electoral commission and the supreme court, two bodies that determine election outcomes in Somaliland. Bihi fielded Haglatosiye, Ataash and Professor Ahmed Samatar, among wannabe political leaders, to sell the idea that he “is ending the mono-clan monopoly on political parties”. His goal is to relegate Waddani or UCID or both after elections to contest for retaining or gaining a party status comes to an end. This plan has had no a chance in Laascaanood once controlled by Somaliland through a motley of local militias known as caaglayaal (plastic bottle carriers) commanded by Mahad Ambashe, who, until his escape from Guulwadayaal barracks on the outskirts of Laascaanood last week, was holed up in a residence in the west part of the district. If the electoral plan of Bihi had ever come to fruition it would not change the deep structure of the system that the statesman Ismail Hurreh Buuba, the former Somalia Foreign Minister, called “a system rigged against certain clans.” In Somaliland’s authoritarian turn: oligarchic–corporate power and the political economy of de facto states Dr Claire Elder, discussed oligopolistic state’ and a ‘peaceocracy’ to shed light on “internal political dynamics and complex crises” downplayed by researchers. When the Laascaanood war erupted several weeks ago, President Bihi claimed that Al-shabaab infiltrated the district, a hasty spin on the conflict. His claim is as odd as the accusation levelled in August 2022 against the Chairman of Waddani Party of whom Mohamed Kahin, the Interior Minister, accused “sending money to Mogadishu-based soldiers sent to destabilise Hargeisa”. Kahin was a lieutenant colonel in the Somali Army before defecting to SNM early 1980s. Two veteran SNM soldiers (one a president, the other an interior minister) are now prosecuting a civil war in northern Somalia under the pretext that Laascaanood is not a part of the Federal Republic of Somalia. President Bihi has plenty of time to return from the brink of a full-blown civil war in north Somalia. The International Community supports Somaliland institutions on the understanding that, although Somaliland is seeking to secede from Somalia, Hargeisa will honour its obligations to respect the rights of Somali citizens. It violated this basic obligation in 2021 when it forcibly displaced 1600 Somali citizens in Laascaanood. Donor countries fund Somaliland security forces currently involved in shelling Laascaanod and kidnapping citizens in Sool villages still under the control of Somaliland forces. The state-building initiative in Somalia exemplified by the decision to rule Somalia under Chapter 7 article of the United Nations is getting discredited by the impunity shown by Somaliland leaders. The Somaliland President has plenty of time to return from the brink of a civil war. The government President Bihi heads has damaged mutual trust when he labelled his compatriots terrorists. Laascaanod has a federal representation under Puntland, a Federal Member State that in principle supports the 6/2/2023 declaration issued by Laascannod Elders and Committee, and backs an autonomous authority for people living in disputed territories. The International Community allowed disputed territories designation to last longer unwittingly for the benefit of the Somaliland administration whose leaders accept in private that they are not a republic to secure direct aid but apply aggressive secession policies of which the Laascaanood conflict is the glaring example. Donors should not unintentionally be funding a civil war in Northern Somalia. Clarity could save lives and avert a large-scale civil war in the North. President Muse Bihi Abdi is a threat to the peaceful co-existence of Somali northerners. Who can rein President Bihi in?

Washington (Caasimada Online) – The United States Department of State’s Rewards for Justice (RFJ) program has offered a bounty of up to $5 million for any information that can lead to the identification or location of Ali Mohamed Rage, a key leader of the terrorist organization al-Shabab in Somalia. The Diplomatic Security Service oversees the RFJ program, which aims to combat terrorism globally. Who is Ali Mohamed Rage? Ali Mohamed Rage, also known as Ali Dheere, has been the chief spokesperson for al-Shabab since May 2009 and is a senior leader of the terrorist organization. He was born in the Hawlwadag district of Mogadishu, Somalia, in 1966 and has been involved in planning attacks in Kenya and Somalia. On August 6, 2021, the United States Department of State designated Rage as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), which blocks all of his property and interests in property. Anyone engaging in certain transactions with Rage may also face designation. Moreover, any foreign financial institution knowingly facilitating a significant financial transaction or providing significant financial services for Rage could be subject to U.S. correspondent account or payable-through account sanctions. The United Nations Security Council’s Somalia Sanctions Committee added Rage to its Sanctions List on February 18, 2022, under paragraph 43(a) of resolution 2093 (2013) for engaging in or supporting acts that threaten the peace, security, or stability of Somalia. The UN designation requires UN Member States to impose an arms embargo, including related training and financial assistance, a travel ban, and an assets freeze on Rage. Who is Al-Shabab in Somalia? Al-Shabab is a terrorist organization responsible for attacks in Kenya, Somalia, and neighboring countries, resulting in loss of life, including that of U.S. citizens. The group is plotting, planning, and conspiring to commit terrorist acts against the United States, its interests, and foreign partners. In March 2008, the Department of State designated al-Shabab as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist. In April 2010, al-Shabab was added to the 1844 Sanctions List by the UN Security Council’s Somalia Sanctions Committee under paragraph 8 of resolution 1844 (2008). Why is the RFJ Program offering a reward for Rage? The RFJ program is offering a reward for any information that can lead to the identification or location of Rage, as he is a senior leader of al-Shabab and has been involved in planning attacks in Kenya and Somalia. The program has been successful, with rewards leading to the capture or killing of high-profile terrorists such as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the former leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. The U.S. government believes that offering a reward for information on Rage can help disrupt al-Shabab’s operations and prevent future terrorist attacks. The RFJ program has been instrumental in bringing terrorists to justice. The U.S. government hopes that the reward for Rage will lead to his capture or location, ensuring that he is held accountable for his actions.
