Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Soomaaliya askari-nimada badi qorta oo ciidanka ku biira balwadaha maanka-dooriya, dadka dilalka soo geystay ee raba qori ay gabaad ka dhigtaan iyo dadka ugu dhibka badan bulshada dhexdeeda oo qoysaska maaro u waayeen. Micnaha dilaa, daroogiista iyo dulmi-low ayaa loo xil saaray inay dal iyo dad ilaaliyaan. Iyada oo aan la inkiri karin inay dhinaca kale jiraan askar dhowrsan oo ka fog balwad, dil iyo dibin-daabyo umadeed, haddana waa tiro aad u yar dadka wanaaga loo yaqaano ee ciidanka dowladda qortay dhowr iyo tobankii sano ee lasoo dhaafay. Tani waxay dhashay askari dilaya shacabka, mid dhacaya iyo mid iibsanaya dhiigooda oo la shaqeysanaya argagixisada. Weli waxa socda dilalka ay askarta dowlada u geysanayaan shacabka Soomaaliyeed, gaar ahaan dadka degan magaalada caasimada ah ee Muqdisho. Shalay isgoyska Baar-Ubax ee magaalada Muqdisho ciidan la sheegay inay kamid yihiin askarti dhawaan laga soo celiyay waddanka Eritrea ayaa dilay wiil arday ahaa, xilli ay rasaas fureen wadada oo mashquul aheyd. Saddex cisho kahor degmada Xamar-Jajab ee magaalada Muqdisho wiil bajaajle ahaa ayaa waxa dilay askarta dowladda. Shacabka iyo qaar kamid ah khubarada amniga waxay dilalkan soo batay u sababeynayaan daroogada sida xoogan ugu baahday guud ahaan dalka, gaar ahaan magaalada Muqdisho. Shuruudaha laga rabo qofka ka mid noqonaya ciidanka dowladda Soomaaliya kuma jirto in uusan daroogo isticmaalin askarigu, dalkana si xawli ah ayay daroogadu usoo gasha maalin walba. In dagaal lagu qaado daroogada ama ciidanka ku qoran amnniga caasimada laga dhigo kuwa daroogo ka caagan oo gaar loo soo xulay ayaa kamid ah tallooyinka bad-baadada ah ee ay farta ku fiiqayaan dadweynuhu. Dilaa hore oo sharci dowladeed helay, oo qori iyo qamri isku wata cid walba ayaa cabir ka qaadan karta waxa uu kharibi karo. Muqdisho intaan ka badan ma xamili karto qori iyo qamri wada qarameysan, waxaana dowladda federaalka laga rabaa maadama ay muuqato waxa sababaya dhibaatadan joogtada ah in xalka toos u abaarto.

President Muuse Bihi Abdi has been unable to answer the question: Why are your forces shelling Laascaanood? Mogadishu (Editorial) — The Laascaanood conflict has entered its third week. At the UN Security Council session on Somalia today, the Somalia Ambassador to the United Nations Abukar Dahir Osman described the indiscriminate shelling of Laascaanood by Somaliland forces as a crime against humanity. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations said and “the violence in Laascaanood particularly the indiscriminate shelling of civilians”: “We call for an immediate de-escalation of violence, the protection of civilians, an unimpeded humanitarian access, and for tensions to be resolved through dialogue.” At a time, state-building initiatives in Somalia are shaping up in the South, the North is slowly losing the advantages of three decades of peaceful co-existence. Somaliland Administration is waging a war against people of Laascaanood under the pretext that the district is no longer a part of the politically and territorially united Federal Republic of Somalia. President Muuse Bihi Abdi has been unable to answer the question: Why are your forces shelling Laascaanood? His administration tried to play the terrorism card by labelling Laascaanood residents “terrorists”. The President of the Federal Republic of Somalia Dr Hassan Sheikh Mohamud urged Somaliland leaders to understand the gravity of the situation. “We don’t force the union on you. You have to respect the wishes of the people,” said President Mohamud. In 2013 President Mohamud adopted a new policy in which Somaliland gets direct development assistance on the understanding that the secessionist administration would honour its obligations towards Somali citizens. Somaliland violated its obligations in 2015 when it initially declined to let Somali returnees from Yemen disembark from a boat from Yemen. In 2021 the Somaliland Administration forcibly displaced more than 1600 Somali citizens in Laascaanood on the false grounds that they are not “citizens of Somaliland”. The rationale for keeping peacekeepers in Somalia is to protect the lives of Somalis and prevent transnational terrorists from posing a threat to the world. Failure to hold perpetrators of indiscriminate shelling accountable will breed impunity in Somalia. As Ambassador Abukar said, the Federal Government of Somalia has an obligation to protect the lives of Somalis. Somaliland forces use artillery to target residential areas, health centres, schools and mosques in Laascaanood. More than 70 civilians have lost their lives in Laascaanood so far. When Somaliland claims to be a republic and resorts to indiscriminate shelling, it violates UN Security Council resolutions emphasising the political and territorial unity of Somalia. Thirty years ago, southern Somalia saw a large-scale humanitarian intervention triggered by man-made famine. The world has changed since. The impact of the indiscriminate shelling of the district by Somaliland forces is carefully documented. As the former Somalia President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed wrote last week, “the possibility of putting perpetrators on trial for crimes against humanity” should be explored. People in Laascaanood are getting killed and maimed by forces waging a secession war. People of Laascaanood have a right to assert their legal political identity based on united Somalia. © Puntland Post, 2023 The post The Laascaanood Conflict Breeds Impunity in Somalia appeared first on Puntland Post.

Mogadishu (Caasimada Online) – In the ongoing fight against al-Al-Shabab, the United States military has carried out yet another airstrike in Somalia. The latest attack resulted in the deaths of seven suspected al-Al-Shabab fighters in a strike near Galmudug, approximately 317 miles northeast of Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. The U.S. Africa Command, which conducted the airstrike to support Somali forces, reports that no civilians were injured or killed in the attack. This latest attack highlights the continued efforts of the U.S. military to combat al-Al-Shabab, a branch of al-Qaeda in East Africa responsible for several deadly attacks. Among these is the attack on U.S. troops at Manda Bay, Kenya, on January 5, 2020, which claimed the lives of three Americans. Since 2007, the U.S. military has been assisting Somali forces in the fight against al-Al-Shabab. US Africa Command role in Somalia According to an AFRICOM news release, Somalia remains central to stability and security in East Africa. To this end, the U.S. Africa Command’s forces have trained, advised, and assisted partner forces in Somalia to give them the tools to defeat al-Al-Shabab. The terrorist organization is known to be the largest and most deadly al-Qaida network in the world. Since the beginning of the year, the U.S. military has conducted six airstrikes against al-Al-Shabab in Somalia, in addition to one special operations raid that killed Bilal-al-Sudani, a former leader of the Islamic State group. The Long War Journal, produced by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies think tank in Washington, D.C., has provided this data. U.S. airstrikes against al-Al-Shabab and ISIS peaked at 59 in 2019. According to data from the Long War Journal, this number dropped to 44 in 2020 and 11 in 2021. Last year, the U.S. military conducted 15 airstrikes in Somalia. Somali offensive against Al-Shabab In August 2022, the Somali government launched an offensive against al-Al-Shabab. Since then, Somali forces have managed to retake Harardhere, a former base for pirates, and Galcad, a nearby town. According to the CTC Sentinel, published by the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, the al-Al-Shabab militants fled without putting up a fight in both Harardhere and Galcad. However, some militants returned to attack a Somali government military base in Galcad. In response, 30 militants were killed in a U.S. drone strike near the town on January 20, 2023. Conclusion The latest U.S. airstrike against al-Al-Shabab in Somalia is a testament to the ongoing fight against terrorism in the region. The U.S. military continues to play a crucial role in assisting Somali forces in the fight against al-Al-Shabab, which has proven to be a significant threat to the stability and security of East Africa. The continued efforts by the U.S. military, together with Somali forces, are necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of the region’s population.

LasAnod (Caasimada Online) – At least 112 people have been killed and over 500 injured in intense fighting in LasAnod in Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia, according to medical officials. The director-general of a public hospital in LasAnod, Abdimajid HusseinSugulle, reported the latest figures to Anadolu by phone on Tuesday. He said that Tuesday’s fighting lasted more than seven hours, resulting in eight more deaths and numerous injuries. Somaliland forces and local clan fighters have been fighting for approximately three weeks. The conflict began after local leaders, civil society groups, and religious leaders in LasAnod announced last week that they no longer recognize the Somaliland government. They declared that Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, would govern the territory. On the other hand, the Somaliland administration called the local forces “terrorists” and held them responsible for the violence. The Sool and Sanaag regions have disputed territories, with Somaliland and Puntland state claiming ownership. Mohamed Husein Gaas, the Director of the Raad Peace Research Institute in Mogadishu, believes that the conflict in LasAnod resulted from Somaliland’s occupation of the Sool region since 2007. This occupation has led to extreme political, economic, and social marginalization and subjugation of the Sool clan clan. Gaas suggests that the only way to resolve the conflict is for Somaliland forces to withdraw from the Sool region immediately and unconditionally. He recommends that political dialogue between Sool clan clan leaders, Somaliland authorities, and the federal government of Somalia, with the support of international actors and UNSOM, would provide an appropriate environment to resolve the conflict. Isack Abdi, a Somali independent analyst who spoke to Anadolu, suggested that communities of the disputed regions and Somaliland should live together and resolve their issues with dialogue. He acknowledged that Somaliland has a point in claiming ownership of the territory but condemned their shelling of a town full of civilians, including children and the elderly. The conflict in LasAnod has also caused mass displacement, with more than 80,000 people being displaced, worsening the drought-induced humanitarian crisis in Sool and Sanaag. The town is disputed between Somaliland and Puntland, with the neighbors having fought several times over the territory. Protesters were out in LasAnod demanding Somaliland security forces expulsion and the town be handed over to Puntland authorities. Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991. Since then, it has been fighting to gain international recognition as a sovereign state. Somalia, on the other hand, claims that Somaliland is still part of its territory. Over the years, the dispute over the Sool and Sanaag regions has resulted in several clashes between Somaliland and Puntland forces.

Sidoo kale wasaaradda arrimaha dibadda Soomaaliya waxay qoraalkaan ku cadeysay in shirkadaas ay tahay tan kaliya ee u xilsaaraa doonta fududaynta iyo soo gudbinta codsiyada fiisaha ee muwaadiniinta Soomaaliyeed ee doonaya inay u safraan dalka Kenya. “Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya waxa ay ka codsaneysaa in xafiisyadiina sharafta leh ay u fidiyaan taageeradooda, una fududeeyaan shaqadooda,” ayaa lagu yiri codsiga ay dirtay Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda Soomaaliya. Arrintaan ayaa durba abuurtay guux badan, iyadoo dowladda lagu dhaliilayo in shakhsiyaad gaar ah ay u xireyso shaqooyin ay u sinaayeen shirkadaha iyo ganacsatada Soomaaliyeed. Horay waxaa dowladda loogu dhaliilayey in soo dhoofinta qaadka ay u xirtay ganacsato ama shakhsiyaad gaar ah, taas oo dowladda Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh ay kala kulantay mucaaradad soo deg degtay. Horay dadka Soomaaliyeed waa ugu dhibanaayeen helitaanka fiisaha Kenya, lamana oga waxa ay cabadihii jiray ka bedeli doonto shirkadaan qandaraaska loo xiray, hadii ay shaqadaan bilowdo.

Siyad Ali Jama: “The only politically viable option for Puntland is to re-engage with the Federal Government of Somalia and change the habit of making policies on the hoof in Puntland.” Nairobi (Commentary) — The Puntland State of Somalia prides itself on being the first autonomous administration in post-1991 Somalia. Its prominent role in state-building initiatives risks being undermined by knee-jerk policy-making by the incumbent government of President Said Abdullahi Deni. At the United Nations Security Council session on Somalia earlier today Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations commended the Federal Government of Somalia and Federal Member States for reaching an agreement on the National Security Architecture unveiled in 2017 in London Somalia Conference. The Puntland State Government did not sign the National Security Architecture agreement. President Deni said that Puntland State would “act independently until the new Somali constitution is completed.” His volte face came after a visit to Mogadishu wherein he endorsed the fisheries agreement and production-sharing agreement with Coastline Exploration, two agreements that Puntland State initially rejected before being persuaded to be on board with other Federal Member States. The United Nations deplored Puntland’s decision to stop working with the Federal Government of Somalia. At the UN Security Council Session on Somalia today, Lana Zaki Nusseibeh, the UAE Ambassador at the United Nations, lauded the leaders of the Federal Government of Somalia for the governance progress made since the election of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud on 15 May 2022. In the absence of a debate on government policies in Puntland, the risk that Puntland State’s role is to be diminished by decisions based not on deliberations but on whim grows. The role of the civil society and non-incumbent political stakeholders is missing. Puntland State has put a lot of effort into playing a key role in rebuilding Somali’s state institutions based on a federal system to avoid the experience of a centralised state-building synonymous with state failure. Puntland can no longer claim to be the custodian of the federal system if its leaders choose to become politically isolated. The only politically viable option for Puntland is to re-engage with the Federal Government of Somalia and change the habit of making policies on the hoof in Puntland. Political isolation does not serve the interest of Puntlanders. The post Puntland State Must Re-engage with the Federal Government of Somalia appeared first on Puntland Post.

Security Council meeting: The situation in Somalia Report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Somalia (S/2023/109) Ms. Anita Kiki Gbeho, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia Ms. Sima Sami Bahous, Executive Director, UN Women Madam President, Distinguished Members of the Council, Thank you for the opportunity to brief on the situation in Somalia at this session held under the important theme of “Somalia: a women, peace, and security perspective”. I am pleased to do so alongside the recently appointed Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Ambassador Souef Mohammed El-Amine, with whom I collaborate closely and the Executive Director of UNWOMEN, Ms. Sima Bahous. Madam President, Since the last Security Council session on Somalia on 7 September last year, the Federal Government of Somalia has – despite many challenges – made significant progress in advancing its key national priorities. Close cooperation with Federal Member States has been sustained, momentum in the fight against Al Shabaab regained, and Somalia remains on track to complete the debt relief process in 2024. Through regular meetings of the National Consultative Council (NCC), His Excellency President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has undertaken efforts to prioritize Federal Government and federal member states relations, and to advance state building priorities. In the December meeting of the NCC, Federal Government and Federal Member State leaders, with the exception of Puntland, agreed a federated model regarding the allocation of powers and on justice; both of which are key elements for the completion of the Constitutional review. Puntland requested additional time to consider its position on these matters and has asked for further consultations with the Federal Government of Somalia. I encourage the Federal Government and the Federal Member states to continue dialogue within the NCC framework toward consensus on Somalia’s state building agenda. Madam President, I welcome the Federal Government’s continued commitment to implementing women, peace, and security agenda, as demonstrated by the launch of the National Action Plan on Security Council Resolution 1325. The launch of the National Action Plan is timely as it provides a framework to address the challenges that persist for women in Somalia. More has to be done to enable equal representation in all facets of public life. To this end, enhancing women’s political participation also remains critical. This includes that the commitment Somalia’s political leaders made on the 30 per cent women’s quota is not only codified in relevant legal and electoral frameworks but also safeguarded by all entities. In this regard, the United Nations continues to support newly elected women representatives. For example, through the Women, Peace and Protection Joint Programme, the United Nations supported the establishment of the Federal Parliament’s, Upper House, women’s caucus. Moving forward, we must remain focused on advancing women’s participation and equality. I call on all stakeholders to redouble their efforts towards achieving this objective. Madam President, As the government seeks to advance its post-election priorities, including conducting operations against Al-Shabaab and managing the devastating impact of the drought, recurrent political conflicts continue to command the government’s attention. In South-West State, for instance, clashes took place on 23 December related to the timing of the state presidential election. A South-West State reconciliation conference held under the auspices of His Excellencies, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and the Speaker of the House of the People, Sheikh Aden Mohamed Nur, was able to avert an escalation and address political grievances. In Laascaanood town, Sool region, the fighting that broke out on 6 February continues, and has led to increased humanitarian needs. An interagency assessment reports more than 185,000 people displaced, (89 per cent of whom are women and children). At least 63 civilians were killed and over 363 injured. Efforts to stop the fighting are ongoing, but the situation, including the targeting of civilian infrastructure, remains alarming. I would like to reiterate the previous statements by the United Nations and international partners condemning the violence, calling for the resolution of political tensions through dialogue, and calling for unhindered humanitarian access to urgently address the needs of those displaced and impacted. Madam President, Al-Shabaab continues to pose a serious threat to peace and security in Somalia. The year 2022 was the deadliest for civilians since 2017, with 60 per cent increase in civilian casualties as compared to 2021. Over the past few months, the Federal Government has made progress in countering this threat by targeting Al-Shabaab’s military and financial operations and ideological narrative. The Somalia Security Forces, reinforced by the use of local militias, have conducted successful operations against Al-Shabaab in Hirshabelle and Galmudug States. Operations are expected to gradually move into other areas of Somalia. Consolidating gains in the newly recovered areas will require strong linkages between military operations and stabilization initiatives, comprised of reconciliation and justice components and aimed at bolstering good governance and service delivery. In this regard, and in line with Somalia’s National Stabilization Strategy, efforts have focused on supporting communities and newly established district authorities in several recovered areas. In parallel, the Government continues efforts towards generating forces, to gradually assume security responsibilities in line with the Somali transition plan. The handover of the ATMIS Maslah camp to the Somali National Army in mid-January was an important step in this process, having paved the way for the handover of such camps in future. However, funding remains a critical challenge. I reiterate previous calls by the Secretary-General to ensure predictable and sustainable funding to ATMIS and adequate resourcing for Somali security forces. This remains vital to the security transition. Madam President, With five consecutive poor rainy seasons, the current drought is unprecedented in its severity. Humanitarian needs continue to steadily rise, with about 8.3 million people – nearly half of Somalia’s estimated population – requiring assistance and protection in 2023. Needs are also more pronounced with minorities and marginalized groups. Thanks to the generous donor support, Government efforts, and local community initiatives, humanitarian organizations scaled up response and reached 7.3 million people in 2022. While famine has been prevented for now, famine remains a threat if the April to June rains underperform as forecast and humanitarian assistance is not sustained. The 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan, launched on 8 February, seeks $2.6 billion to meet the priority needs of 7.6 million people. I urge donors to stand with Somalia at this difficult time by providing the required resources early. Madam President, Despite great adversity, the people of Somalia continue to demonstrate strength, resilience, and resolve. The progress made by the Federal Government of Somalia to advance peace, security, and development, has generated a positive momentum to enable further advances in the state building agenda. At the core of this agenda lies the completion of an inclusive and consensus based constitutional review process. This remains a priority in the period ahead. As the United Nations, we stand ready to support with these efforts and as always, to support Somalia in implementing its vision of a secure, stable, and peaceful nation. I thank you. Qaran News
