Brussels (Caasimada Online) – The European Union has on Saturday announced further sanctions against Russia’s Wagner Group mercenaries for “human rights abuses” in the Central African Republic, Mali, Sudan, and Ukraine. This move comes after the EU imposed sanctions on the group in 2021 for its activities in Ukraine. The Wagner Group has been active in various countries worldwide, focusing on Africa, where it has been accused of human rights abuses, extrajudicial killings, and other violent acts. The latest EU sanctions aim to address the international dimension and gravity of the group’s activities and its destabilizing impact on the countries where it operates. In Mali, the head of Wagner’s forces has been sanctioned, while in the Central African Republic, high-profile members of the group have been added to the list. The EU sanctions have also hit gold and diamond companies linked to Wagner in these countries. A Central African radio station has also been listed “for engaging in online influence operations on behalf of Russia and the Wagner Group to manipulate public opinion.” The sanctions are a response to the threat posed by the Wagner Group’s activities to the people of the countries where they operate and the European Union as a whole. In light of this, it is crucial to understand the context and history of the Wagner Group’s activities in these countries.

Central African Republic The Central African Republic has been politically unstable since 2013, when the Seleka rebel group seized power. This led to a countercoup by the anti-Balaka militia, which escalated into a sectarian conflict. In 2014, French troops were deployed to the country as part of Operation Sangaris, a peacekeeping mission to stabilize the country. However, the presence of the Wagner Group in the country, at the invitation of President Touadera, has been a source of controversy. The group has been accused of exacerbating the violence and committing human rights abuses. Wagner Group in Mali and Sudan The Wagner Group has been involved in Mali’s ongoing conflict since 2018. The group’s fighters have been accused of involvement in acts of violence and numerous human rights cases of abuse, including extrajudicial killings. Mali is currently ruled by a junta that forced France to remove troops deployed there in 2020. Sudan has been experiencing a period of political instability since the ousting of President Omar al-Bashir in 2019. The Wagner Group’s involvement in the country is linked to its gold and diamond industries, which have been controversial due to alleged human rights abuses and links to armed groups.

Hargeisa (Caasimada Online) – SSC-Khatumo forces have successfully seized control of an army base on the outskirts of LasAnod town in northern Somalia after heavy fighting on Saturday. According to reports, the Guul Wade military camp, previously under the control of Somaliland military officer Mahad Cambashe and his loyal troops, is now under the control of the SSC administration., marking a significant development in the ongoing conflict. The SSC-Khatumo forces also successfully confiscated several military vehicles, including tanks, armored vehicles, and other weapons. Cambaashe was among the top officers in the Somaliland army, hailing from the Sool region. The number of casualties from the fighting remains unknown. Map showing LasAnod (Laascaanood) Somalia Traditional leaders in Sool have been attempting to persuade forces from the region to defect to the armed forces of SSC, who are at war with the separatist administration of Somaliland. However, these efforts have proven unsuccessful. The Somaliland Ministry of Internal Affairs has released a statement on Facebook, claiming that “anti-peace and terrorist groups” attacked Somaliland military forces and violated the ceasefire in response to the conflict. The humanitarian crisis worsens in Somalia According to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the recent clashes between security forces and clan leaders in northern Somalia’s LasAnod have resulted in the deaths of at least 150 people and left over 600 others injured since February 6. The government of Puntland estimates the death toll to be as high as 200. Eyewitnesses and clan leaders have reported heavy fighting in LasAnod, with the town being bombarded by artillery and mortar shells. Hospitals have also been targeted, with the main hospital in LasAnod sustaining severe damage. The UN reports that more than 185,000 individuals have been displaced due to the violence, with women and children comprising an estimated 89% of the displaced population. Many have been forced to seek shelter under trees or inside schools that have been forced to shut. The UN’s refugee agency has also revealed that over 60,000 individuals have fled to Ethiopia’s Somali region to escape the violence. US demands an immediate ceasefire Following a delegation led by Chargé d’Affaires Tim Trenkle’s arrival in the Somaliland capital of Hargeisa, the United States has called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the northern town of LasAnod, Somalia. During a series of political and civil society discussions, the delegation met with Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi to discuss the violence in LasAnod. The United States embassy in Somalia said, “The United States joins the international community in calling for an immediate, unconditional ceasefire and unhindered humanitarian access.” Moreover, the Bureau of African Affairs of the US State Department has also condemned the ongoing indiscriminate attacks that have claimed the lives of numerous civilians in LasAnod and displaced more than 185,000 individuals. The Department tweeted, “The United States condemns the continued indiscriminate attacks that have killed scores of civilians in LasAnod and driven more than 185,000 people from their homes. The violence must end, and those responsible must be held accountable.” Somaliland: A brief history Somaliland, with a population of 4.5 million, is a former British protectorate that prints its own currency issues its own passports and elects its own government. However, the lack of international recognition has left it impoverished and isolated. Despite this, it has been comparatively more stable than Somalia, which has been marred by civil war and Islamist insurgency for several decades The post Somalia: SSC forces seize key army base appeared first on Caasimada Online.

Mogadishu (Caasimada Online) – Human Rights Watch has called on President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia to withhold his signature from a recently passed bill that expands the powers of the country’s National Security and Intelligence Agency (NISA), citing concerns about human rights abuses. The bill, which Somalia’s Senate passed on February 22, 2023, grants NISA sweeping powers of arrest, detention, and surveillance with minimal independent oversight. If President Mohamud signs the bill into law, it will become effective in 21 days unless he chooses to return it to parliament with recommendations for amendment. The proposed bill and its concerning provisions The proposed legislation has broad provisions that could be used to justify the government’s repression of the political opposition and the media. NISA has a history of arbitrarily detaining perceived opponents and journalists, most recently detaining media rights advocate Abdalle Ahmed Mumin and temporarily closing down media outlets. Additionally, the agency has operated with a vague legal status for several years, facilitating arbitrary arrests, detention, and other abuses. The bill passed by Somalia’s lower parliament on February 7 grants the agency broad powers of arrest, detention, search, seizure, and surveillance. However, its broadly and vaguely defined definitions of offenses over which the agency would have jurisdiction could be used to violate the rights to freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly, unduly restricting internationally protected activities by the political opposition, activists, and the media. Human rights abuses under NISA Human Rights Watch has stated that the bill only grants detainees access to legal counsel and family visits after 48 hours in custody. Yet, the risk of torture and other custodial abuse is often greatest during the initial hours of detention. Furthermore, in undefined “emergency situations,” the bill allows NISA officials to arrest people without warrants, which is concerning. The bill also contains provisions that could be used to violate the rights to freedom of speech and the press. The language that broadly prohibits “anyone” from disseminating information about intelligence activities and agency members could be used to prosecute journalists, political opposition members, and human rights activists who publish information about government abuses. The surveillance powers, including the authority to monitor communications, internet, and postal communications, could also be used to violate people’s right to privacy and free expression. Recommended action Human Rights Watch has long called for enacting a rights-respecting national security law that defines the specific roles of national security agencies in line with Somalia’s provisional constitution and bars the intelligence agency from carrying out arrests and detentions. The organization has also recommended that the bill confine NISA’s role to traditional intelligence activities, remove overlaps with police functions and powers, and specify that the agency should not be involved in arresting and detaining suspects. Moreover, Human Rights Watch advocates for establishing an independent oversight mechanism to report to parliament, such as an inspector general or ombudsman, as stipulated in the country’s provisional constitution. The call for action Human Rights Watch’s deputy Africa director, Laetitia Bader, has called on Somalia’s president to send the draft law back to parliament and call for it to be rigorously revised to address human rights concerns. Bader stated, “Instead of rubber-stamping Somalia’s notorious intelligence agency’s extensive powers, the government should restrict its authority and improve accountability.” It is essential to take immediate action, given the bill’s provisions pose a significant threat to human rights in Somalia. The bill only grants detainees access to legal counsel and family visits after 48 hours in custody, yet the risk of torture and other custodial abuse is often greatest during the initial hours of detention. The surveillance powers, including the authority to monitor communications, internet, and postal communications, could also be used to violate people’s right to privacy and free expression. Human Rights Watch recommendations Human Rights Watch has recommended that the bill be rejected and that Somalia’s president send the draft law back to parliament to be rigorously revised to address human rights concerns. The organization has called for the bill to be amended in the following ways: The bill should confine NISA’s role to traditional intelligence activities, removing overlaps with police functions and powers, and specify that the agency should not be involved in arresting and detaining suspects. Establishing an independent oversight mechanism is essential to provide an additional layer of accountability for NISA’s actions. The oversight mechanism should report to parliament, such as an inspector general or ombudsman, as stipulated in the country’s provisional constitution. Human Rights Watch also calls for the end of arbitrary detention, including the release of those arbitrarily detained, and for investigating and prosecuting officials responsible for such abuses. The Somali government should respect human rights and ensure its legislation conforms to international standards.

Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Dowladda federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa kamid noqotay dalal Afrika ah oo codkooda ku biiriyay qaraar ka dhan ah Ruushka, kaasi oo la horgeeyey Golaha Qaramada Midoobay. Qaraarkaan oo ahaa in dowladda Ruushka ciidamadeeda kala baxdo dalka Ukraine ayaa dalalka xubnaha ka ah Golaha Qaramada Midoobay waxay ku kala codeynayeen Haa iyo Maya si loo ansixiyo, halka kuwa qaarna ay ka aamuseen. Dowladda federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa la sheegay inay codkeeda ku biirisay 30 dal oo ka mid ah dalalka Afrika oo qaraarkaan QM ugu codeeyay “Haa” taasi oo ka dhigan in Soomaaliya ay taageertay qorshaha ku aadan in dalka Ruushka uu kala baxo ciidamadiisa dalka Ukraine. Dalalka Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Masar, Ghana iyo Kenya ayaa kamid ah dalalka Afrikaanka ah ee taageeray cod-bixintan, halka dalalka Senegal, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Eswatini and Guinea-Bissau aysan ka qeyb qaadan codeynta. Qaraarkaan ayaa waxa codeyntiisa isaga aamusay 15 waddan oo kamid ah dalalka Afrika, iyada oo wadamada Eritrea iyo Mali oo keliya ay si toos ah uga soo horjeesteen qaraarkan dhigaya in Ruushka lagu qasbo ka bixitaanka Ukraine, kuwaasi oo ku codeeyay “Maya”. Madaxweynaha Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy ayaa si weyn u soo dhaweeyay qaraarkan, kaasi oo uu ku tilmaamay inuu yahay calaamad xooggan oo muujineysa taageerada caalamiga ah. Dagaalka Ukraine ayaa sanad jirsaday, ayada oo si weyn u saameeyay guud ahaan dunida, gaar ahaanna waddama saboolka ah sida Soomaaliya oo kale oo ku tirsanaa gargaarka caalamiga ah. Dowladaha reer Galbeedka oo garab istaag u muujiyay xukuumadda Kyiv ayaa siinaya hub casri ah sida; gantaalada lidka taangiyada, qalabka ka hortaga gantaalada iyo waliba gantaalada gaysta burburka badan. Si kastaba, waxaa muddooyinkii dambe soo baxayay wel-wel la xiriira in dagaalka Ukraine uu isku bedelo mid u dhaxeeya Ruushka iyo NATO, taasi oo keeni karta in Moscow ay weerarto dalal kale oo dhaca qaarada Yurub ah siina ballaarin karta colaadda.
