PRESS RELEASE UN and African Union in ‘common battle’ for development and climate change financing The UN chief emphasised the “alignment” between the UN’s and African Union’s respective plans to ramp up inclusive and environmentally responsible economic development NEW YORK, United States of America, May 7, 2019/ — UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called for a “quantum leap” in funding for development and climate change for Africa, speaking to journalists on Monday, following the plenary meeting of the latest United Nations-African Union (AU) Conference, which took place in New York. Mr. Guterres declared that the Organization’s work to promote peace and security, human rights, development and climate action, can only progress in Africa if the UN works hand in hand with the AU. The UN chief emphasised the “alignment” between the UN’s and African Union’s respective plans to ramp up inclusive and environmentally responsible economic development: the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. The common battle they face, he continued, is to secure the necessary financing for development, particularly for Africa. Mr. Guterres said that development there is a “fundamental precondition” for a more peaceful world, and for well-managed migration, and, therefore, that improved funding is “in the interests of the whole international community.” With regard to climate change, the Secretary-General warned that more ambition is needed, because “we are not winning the battle,” and Africa is disproportionately affected: “the African continent practically does not contribute to climate change, but the African continent is one of the areas of the world where the impact of climate change is more dramatic and devastating.” A joint communiqué released on Monday by the UN and African Union welcomed the “strong cooperation and collaboration between the two organizations”, and committed to continue to work closely together in addressing peace and security issues, and achieving sustainable development issues in Africa. The communiqué described the UN Climate Action Summit, which will take place in September, as “critical to mobilize the needed partnerships, resources” necessary to achieve international climate action goals, and noted the agreement of the leaders of both organizations to further strengthen their cooperation on adaptation for climate change ahead of the Summit and beyond.

Garoowe (Caasimada Online) – Xogta aan ka heleyno shirka Garoowe ayaa sheegeysa in xalay aad la isugu qabtay qodobka la xiriira doorashada Soomaaliya ka dhaceysa 2021. Ilo-wareedyo ku sugan shirka ayaa Caasimada Online u sheegay in maamul goboleedyada ay dalbadeen in golaha wasiirada Soomaaliya ay dib ugu laabtaan waxna ka beddelaan sharciga doorashada ee ay ansixiyeen khamiistii tagtay. Shirciggan ayaa maamul goboleedyada ay ku doodeen inaan laga talo-gelin islamarkaana ay ku jiraan qodobo loo arkay in dowladda ay ku sharciyeysaneyso inay waqtiga kororsato. Madaxweynaha iyo ra’iisul wasaaraha ayaa maamullada u sheegay in sharciggan la horgeeyo baarlamanka, ayada oo ay qireen inay ogyihiin inuusan ka gudbi doonin, markaas kadibna golaha wasiirada ay dib ugu laabtaan. Hase yeeshee maamullada ayaa ku gacan seeray taas, waxayna cabsi ka muujiyeen inaysan isku halleyn karin xildhibaanada, oo sharcigan laga yaabo inuu baaso. Xubno dowladda ku dhow ayaa sheegay in dowladda ay u aragto bah-dilaad in sharcigan golaha wasiirada lagu celiyo, ayada oo baarlamanka aan la horgeyn, waxayna ballan-qaaday inay ka shaqeyn doonto sidii loo diidi lahaa, si dib loogu saxo. Qodobkan ayaa caqabad hor leh ku noqday qodobo kale oo dhwor ah oo mabda’ ahaan la isku fahmay shalay sida aan qornay, waxaana maadaama uu yahay qodobka ugu muhiimsan aan suurta-gal ahayn in heshiis la saxiixo ayada oo aan meel la saarin. Mar kale ayaa la filayaa in qodobkan dib loogu laabto maanta, waxaana dhinacyada ay sheegeen inay rajaynayan in xal laga gaaro. Caasimada Online Xafiiska Garoowe caasimada@live.com

Kampala (Caasimada Online)-Madaxweynaha dalka Uganda Yuweri Musaveni ayaa markale aflagaadeeyay Soomaaliya, waxaana uu sii wataa tusaalooyinka aan wanaagsaneyn ee uu usoo qaadanayo Soomaaliya. Madaxweynaha Uganda ayaa si adag ula hadlay fanaanka Bobi wine oo siyaasi isku badalay, waxaana uu sheegay in looga baahan yahay inuu Soomaaliya aado oo uusan carqaladeyn nabadda dalka Uganda. Museveni oo 75-jir ah oo caadiyeystay inuu Somalia u soo qaato Tusaalayaasha ugu xun-xun, waxa uu ku booriyey kuwa isaga Mucaaradka ku ah inay aadaan Somalia oo ay deganaansho la’aan ka jirto, waa sida uu hadalka u dhigay. “Horumarinteena waxaa hareeyay nabada aan abuurnay, Shaqooyinka wey imaanayaan sababtoo ah Nabadda iyo xasilloonida aan heysano, waa sababta keentay in qof kasta uu isku dayo inuu nabad helo, waxaan maqlayay kuwa dadka madadaaliya oo sheegaya in Uganda aysan nabad ahayn, Uganda waa deggan tahay, ma aha sida Somalia oo kale, waan qabnaa Fannaaniin. Waxay aadi karaan Somalia oo ay Riwaayado ka dhigi karan halkaasi” ayuu yiri Museveni. Hadalka Museveni ayaa u muuqda mid uu ku garaacayo Fannaanka Bobi Wine oo ah Xildhibaan ka tirsan Barlamaanka Uganda, mucaaradna ku ah Madaxweyne Museveni iyo Maamulkiisa. Xildhibaankaasi mucaaradka oo 37-jir waxa uu si cad u dhaliilaa Madaxweyne Museveni, taasi oo keentay in dhowr jeer la xiro, iyadoo ay Booliska ka hor joogsadeen 130 Riwaayado oo uu ka dhigi lahaa dalkaasi tan iyo sannadkii 2017-kii.

Hadalka qadafka ee uu Yoweri Musveni had iyo jeer wixii xun Tusaale ahaan u soo qaata dadka Soomaalida ayaa u muuqda falal aan garowshiyo lahayn oo sharaf-dhac ku ah Sharafta DFS iyo guud ahaan dadka iyo dalka Somalia.

The U.S. government has revoked the U.S. citizenship of the former imam of Portland’s largest mosque after he arrived in Somaliland last week. Mohamed Sheikh Abdirahman Kariye is on the government’s no-fly list, but the government arranged for him to travel back to his homeland after reaching a settlement with Kariye in January. Under the deal, Kariye agreed not to challenge an order revoking his citizenship and acknowledged having provided false information to immigration officials in July 1997 when he had applied for U.S. naturalization. The settlement appeared to be briefly in jeopardy Monday morning, when Kariye’s lawyers asked to rescind it after learning that Kariye had been detained during a stopover at the Dubai airport. Kariye, 57, boarded a flight last Wednesday from Seattle for a 14-hour flight to Dubai and a planned flight four days later to Somaliland. He arrived in Dubai as scheduled, according to court records, but soon sent his Oregon-based lawyers a text from the airport that read, “some thing is wrong.’’ Kariye was detained and interrogated for seven hours in the Dubai airport by United Arab Emirates officials and questioned about the “Portland Seven,’’ the As-Saber Mosque in Southwest Portland and others who may have attended services there, according to his lawyers. He wasn’t allowed to contact his attorneys during the questioning and all his personal belongings were seized, according to his lawyers, Philip Smith and Nicole Nelson. In October, federal government lawyers told a federal appeals court that Kariye was placed on the no-fly list based on his history as a “mujahedeen fighter in Afghanistan against the Russians,” as well as his expressed support for “violent jihad” in conversations recorded between a cooperating informant and two members of the Portland Seven. They were a group of American Muslims from the Portland area who were prosecuted and convicted of trying to join al-Qaida forces in their fight against the United States military and coalition forces in Afghanistan. The U.S. sought to strip Kariye of his U.S. citizenship because he “provided false information and both willfully misrepresented and concealed material facts’’ when applying for naturalization to the United States. During the process, the FBI informed U.S. Justice Department attorneys that Kariye had coordinated with Osama bin Laden and other known terrorist leaders and was associated with terrorist organizations including Makhtab Al-Khidamat, or MAK, a designated terrorist organization and pre-cursor to al-Qaida. “The parties agreed denaturalization was appropriate, following which Kariye agreed to depart the United States,” said Kevin Sonoff, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Department of Justice. Kariye ultimately was able to fly to Hargeisa, Somaliland. He arrived last Friday. His lawyers alleged the questioning in Dubai amounted to a “breach’’ by the government. “It is inconceivable that UAE officials would have interrogated Defendant about the Portland Seven and activities at the As-Saber Mosque in Portland without having received information directly from” the government, Smith wrote to the court. Kariye’s lawyers urged the court either to compel the government to explain why Kariye was detained Dubai or allow him to renounce his U.S. citizenship, instead of having it revoked, and withdraw his admission that he had lied previously to U.S. immigration officials when he obtained his naturalization certificate. In a brief hearing before U.S. District Judge Robert E. Jones, attorney Christopher W. Hollis of the U.S. Department of Justice said by phone that he had no communication with the United Arab Emirates about Kariye. Kariye’s lawyer said Hollis could have been kept in the dark, but the U.S. government still could have communicated with the United Arab Emirates about their client. Smith noted that the government had three months of advance notice of Kariye’s scheduled flight and itinerary. “Plaintiff had a responsibility to not simply be silent but to inform the UAE that he is coming through and it is OK for him to fly,” Smith argued. Jones denied Kariye’s motion. The judge ordered the settlement to stand and signed an order revoking Kariye’s U.S. citizenship. The judge said it was “unfortunate” that Kariye was interrogated in Dubai, but that didn’t negate the settlement agreement. Jones said it appeared that the United Arab Emirates’ interrogation of Kariye was “done unilaterally” and that the “U.S. government played no role.” When Kariye had first sought citizenship, he had lied on his application to federal immigration officials about not being arrested in the past, failing to acknowledge a 1993 arrest in Pakistan, according to court documents. Under the settlement, Kariye is forever prevented from claiming any rights or benefits under any document that shows he had obtained U.S. citizenship on Aug. 14, 1998. He’s also been ordered to complete a form abandoning any lawful resident status in the United States and must send his U.S. passport by DHL Express to the government lawyer, no later than five days after his arrival in Somaliland. The revocation of Kariye’s U.S. citizenship falls at the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Calls to the Islamic Center of Portland were not returned on Monday. Source: Oregonlive.com
