NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The al-Qaida-linked extremist group in Somalia has unveiled a COVID-19 isolation and care facility, a sign that the group is taking seriously the pandemic that continues to spread in the fragile country. Al-Shabab announced Friday that the facility, which includes a round-the-clock hotline, has been set up in Jilib, a major stronghold of the extremist group in southern Somalia. “I am urging people with the disease symptoms to come to the medical facility and avoid infecting other Muslims,” Sheikh Mohamed Bali, a senior al-Shabab official and a member of the group’s ad hoc COVID-19 response committee, said in a speech broadcast by the extremist group’s radio arm Andalus. When The Associated Press called al-Shabab’s COVID-19 hotline, a man who answered said the care facility is “open for all people.” He declined to say whether they had any virus cases but said the facility — set up in a building that once housed the United Nations children’s agency in Jilib — has all necessary equipment to isolate and treat patients. For months, Somali health officials have warned that areas controlled by al-Shabab in central and southern Somalia could be at high risk for the virus’ spread. The extremist group has resisted assistance from the government and international health organizations in this and past crises including drought. No information was immediately available about any virus cases in al-Shabab strongholds that remain off-limits for health workers and authorities, or how COVID-19 cases would be confirmed. The Horn of Africa nation has more than 2,500 confirmed virus cases and has one of the world’s least-equipped health systems after years of conflict and poverty, leading to fears that untold numbers of cases might be going undetected.

Addis Ababa (PP News Desk) — One of the Ethiopian government’s flagship economic policies has come under fire from Dr Berhanu Nega, the leader of Ethiopian Citizens for Social Justice. In an interview with the EBC Television Dr Nega has cast doubt on the direction economic reforms are taking. Dr Nega said that the switch from state-led economy to a market-driven economy was commendable but government’s efforts are falling short of “structural changes” Ethiopia needs. Dr Nega: Privatisation should have clear and long term objectives “We need to have an integrated reform with a clear objective as to where we need to go to. And in my view … our objective … [should be] to achieve an economy whereby we have a strong domestic capacity to manufacture … and export high value items to the international market” Berhanu said. The politician-turned-economist has singled out the Ethiopian educational system for not producing capable business leaders who can steer the economy away from dependency on subsistence farming to a more productive and competitive sectors. “We have expanded [the higher education [system in Ethiopia] at the expense of serious quality” Berhanu said. Ethiopian government is planning to privatise key state-owned companies including Ethio Telecom and Ethiopian Airlines. Berhanu argued that privatisation should not exacerbate inequality and that its benefits for posterity in terms skills citizens will learn from privatised ventures should be taken into account. © Puntland Post, 2020 The post BERHANU NEGA CASTS DOUBT ON ECONOMIC REFORMS IN ETHIOPIA appeared first on Puntland Post.

This guide is designed to help UK mosque leaders carefully plan and decide when and how to reopen, ahead of the expected easing of restrictions on places of worship for congregational prayer, whilst maintaining the safety and wellbeing of their communities. It is a non-exhaustive list of considerations based on feedback received to date, and should be interpreted according to your local community needs and context. When Muslims across the world closed their mosques in response to the unprecedented Coronavirus pandemic, we realised that this was one of the most difficult decisions we would have to take. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “There is no wisdom equal to good planning.” In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficient, the Most Merciful Several months on with lockdown restrictions easing, the new challenge of how to re-open mosques safely is proving to be not any easier. Alhumdulillah, there are literally dozens of different plans being drawn up across the world. We have attempted to bring together the best features of these plans in a simple 9-point plan. This also draws on feedback we have received from mosque leaders across the country through surveys, feedback webinars and one-to-one conversations during May and early June 2020, and is an updated version of the initial discussion guidelines issued in mid-May. It is important to note that the points within this document are suggestion, and should be interpreted in the context of the local situation of each mosque and with reference to local scholars and medical professionals. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “There is no wisdom equal to good planning” (Mishkat). We pray that this planning combined with the very real unity that we have seen across the community will be rewarded by Allah by allowing us to emerge from this crisis stronger than ever. 9 Step Plan for Mosque Re-Opening Step 1: Plan to Decide Step 2: Plan the Space Step 3: Plan the Equipment Step 4: Plan the Staff and Volunteers Step 5: Prepare the Community Step 6: Plan the Pre-Prayer Step 7: Plan the Prayer Step 8: Plan the Post-Prayer Step 9: Plan for Problems 4 9 Steps to Re-Opening Mosques Safely Get Legal Advice Have a designated legal Qaran News

Stephen Schwartz, oo ka jawaabay qoraalkii safaaradda Mareykanka ay madaxweyne Farmaajo uga codsatay inuu la hadlo madaxda maamul goboleedyada, ayaa barta bulshada ee LinkedIn ku qoray in guul-darrada kaliya ee dowladda federaalka ay tahay sida ay ula dhaqanto maamul goboleedyada.

Schwartz ayaa ka digay in haddii dowladda aysan la shaqeyn dowlad goboleedyada ay weyn karto taageerada beesha caalamka. “Dowladda federaalka Soomaaliya waxay u baahan tahay inay la shaqeyso dowldaha xubnaha ka ah federaalka, ayada oo ugu faa’iideydeyneysa shacabka Soomaaliyeed, haddii kale waxa halis ugu jirtaa in lagala laabto taageerada beesha caalamka iyo qurobo-joogta,” ayuu yiri.

Tel Aviv (Caasimada Online) – Israel ma filan karto inay caadi ka dhigto xiriirkeeda dunida Carabta, haddii ay goosato qeybo ka mid ah dhulka Daanta Galbeed, waxaa sidaas wargeyska ugu caansan Israel maanta ku qoray safiir u dhashay dalka Imaaraadka Carabta. Qaar ka mid ah saraakiisha Israel ayaa ku gacan seeray guuxa ah in ku darsashada qeybo ka mid ah Daanta Galbeed ay hoos u dhigi doonto isu soo dhowaansho ay la sameynayaan qaar ka mid ah dalalka Carabta – gaar ahaan kuwa Khaliijka – oo Israel ay wadaagaan walaaca laga qabo Iran. Hase yeeshee, codsi naadir ah oo sarkaal Carbeed uu u diro shacabka Israel, ayaa safiirka Imaaraadka ee Washington Youssef Al Otaiba waxa uu ku sheegay in tallaabadan ay noqon doonto “la-wareegis sharci-darro ah” oo lagu sameeyo dhul ay Falastiin dooneyso inay dal ka dhigato. “Ku-darsashada waxay xaqiiqdii si deg deg ah meesha uga saari doontaa damaca Israel ee ah inay xiriir ku saabsan hormurinta amniga, dhaqaalaha iyo dhaqanka la yeelato dunida Carabta, gaar ahaan Imaaraadka Carabta,” ayuu Youssef Al Otaiba ku qoray wargeyska loogu aqriska badan yahay Israel ee Yedioth Ahronoth, oo lagu daabaco luuqadda Hebrew-ga. Israel wax xiriir diblomaasiyadeed ah lama lahan dalalka Khaliijka, hase yeeshee waxay wadaagaan walaaca ay ka qabaan saameynta Iran ee gobolka, taasi oo keentay inuu usoo noolaado xiriir kooban oo ay yeeshaan. Bishii May, shirkadda diyaaradaha ee fadhigeedu yahay Abu-Dhabi ayaa duulimaadkii ugu horreeyey inta la ogyahay ku tagtay Israel, ayada oo gaargaar loogu talo-galay cudurka Coronavirus u sidda Falastiiniyiinta. “Dhammaan horumarrada aad aragteen iyo mowqifyadii ku wajahaan Israel ee isbedelayey, dadkii oo noqonayey kuwa sii ogolaanay Israel, oo yareynayey cadaawaddooda ku wajahan Israel, waxaa gebigood waxyeeleyn doona go’aanka Israel ay ku goosaneyso dhulka Falastiin,” ayuu Al Otaiba ku yiri muuqaal wehliyey maqaalka lagu qoray wargeyska. Masar iyo Jordan ayaa ah labada dal ee Carbeed ee kaliya ee xiriir rasmi ah la leh Israel. Dowladda Israel ayaa damacsan inay kowda July billowdo ka doodista qorshe ay ku goosaneyso qeybo ka mid ah dhulka Daanta Galbeed. REUTERS + VOA

Garowe (PP News Desk ) — The Deputy Commander of Karkaar regional police Cismaan Axmed Dhalac and Commander of Central Qardho Police Station Cumar Hiirad Kaatun have been suspended from work following video clips leaked to social media platforms. Puntland Police Commander Brigadier General Abdi Hassan Hussein has apologised to the public about the behaviour of police officers who recorded leaked video clips while detaining young women socialising on the outskirts of Qardho. One police officer is heard urging his fellow police officers to beat up a young man with the group of girls whereas another police officer accuses youngsters of “worshipping fire.” Fears about the unprofessional and unethical conduct of Puntland police officers have emerged. Influential people in Qardho have demanded a thorough investigation into the case. Puntland police officers are recruitted on clan quotas and without proper vetting. Lack of training on privacy and personal data coupled with police officers’ low level of education tend to compromise the work of Puntland police at regional and district levels. © Puntland Post, 2020 The post PUNTLAND POLICE OFFICERS SUSPENDED OVER LEAKED VIDEO CLIPS appeared first on Puntland Post.
