MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – A Minneapolis man is facing federal kidnapping charges for keeping hostages for ransom in Somalia. Prosecutors say it stems back to a high-profile incident from 2012 where an American journalist was one of the victims. Abdi Hassan made an initial federal court appearance Thursday morning in downtown Minneapolis. The U.S. Marshal’s Office will soon extradite him back to New York where this case is being prosecuted. Hassan has lived in Minneapolis for nearly two decades, but he also claims to work for the Somali government. The indictment, filed late last month in New York, accuses Abdi Hassan, along with other co-conspirators, of kidnapping freelance journalist Michael Scott Moore and other victims in January 2012 near Galkayo, Somalia. According to Moore’s website, he was in the country on a reporting trip and was held hostage for more than two years. At one point, Hassan and others were accused of demanding $20 million from Moore’s family members. The court documents say the men threatened the journalist. If he didn’t comply, they would turn him over to the terror group Al-Shabab. Moore details the experience in a book called “The Desert and the Sea.” Hassan is also accused of taking hostages off fishing vessels in Somalia. “I know him and his character that he’s a peaceful man, not a man who takes hostages,” said Omar Jamal, a family friend and a Twin Cities activist. “He’s very peaceful. Family man.” Jamal attended Hassan’s hearing Thursday morning in Minneapolis where the judge ordered Hassan’s removal back to New York. Jamal says Hassan has lived in Minneapolis for nearly 20 years with his family and owns a small business. According to the indictment, Hassan says he’s a Minister of the Interior for a region in Somalia and was helping the government combat terrorism and piracy. “He was trying to help the situation,” Jamal added. “He’s not the kind of person, he’s not a violent person, he’s not an extremist, he’s a good person.” Moore was eventually released from captivity and identified Hassan from a lineup. Hassan told prosecutors his role in working for the Somali Government was to release hostages. Hassan was born in Somalia, but is a naturalized U.S. citizen.

An official in Burundi says the withdrawal of 1 000 Burundian soldiers from the African Union regional force in Somalia has begun. The military official in Burundi, who insisted on anonymity because he is not authorised to speak to the press, said on Thursday that about 200 soldiers boarded a flight from Somalia to Burundi’s capital, Bujumbura, in the afternoon. More soldiers are expected to be flown back from Burundi in the coming weeks. The African Union says it plans to withdraw the 21 500 troops that it has in Somalia by the end of 2020. The AU force, made up of soldiers from several African countries, has for years tried to secure the Horn of Africa country against the Islamic extremist rebels of al-Shabab. Source: AP

Burundi legislators backed the government’s threat to withdraw all the nation’s troops serving under an African Union (AU) peacekeeping mission in Somalia, saying a reduced contingent would endanger the remaining soldiers. The AU, following a plan to gradually remove foreign soldiers from Somalia as it builds its own army after decades of civil war, asked Burundi to withdraw 1,000 of its 5,400 troops. Burundi in December proposed to pull out 341 troops and asked that other nations contributing troops to the mission known as Amisom, withdraw the rest. A smaller contingent would be ineffective in fighting Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab militants, Burundi’s Senate chair Reverien Ndikuriyo said on Thursday. Removing that many soldiers would endanger the remaining Burundian contingent, he said. Amisom’s mode of operation assigns each country to cover specific areas, with Burundian troops in charge of the Middle Shabelle region. While the militants seemed to be in retreat, they recently stepped up attacks in Somalia, and claimed responsibility in January for a raid on an office and hotel complex in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, that left at least 21 people dead. Burundi is the second-largest contributor of troops after Uganda, which has 6,200 soldiers in the mission, according to Amisom. Other contributing countries include Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya. All contributing nations agreed to a gradual withdrawal of troops until 2021 when Amisom is supposed to handover to the Somali army, Burundian defense minister Emmanuel Ntahomvukiye told legislators on Thursday. “This is not what is being done by the AU Peace and Security Commission,” he said.

Severe lack of rain has worsened the drought in parts of Somaliland leaving 725,000 people at risk of hunger and in urgent need of humanitarian support. “The time to act is now, or the costs will increase, both in economic terms and in terms of the number of lives lost,” said Victor Moses, Country Director for the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) in Somalia. According to a recent report compiled by ACAPs, the 2018 rainy season was worse than normal with parts of Somaliland receiving only 25-50 per cent of average rainfall. “Thousands of people particularly women and children, who are already food insecure, are now fearing the worst as little to no rain is expected over the next couple of months,” said Moses. The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has been operational in Somaliland since 2004 and is currently providing diversified livelihoods and resilience-focused support to affected families. The Somali government and humanitarian agencies launched the 2019 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) last month and called on donors to provide $1.08bn of funding to sustain aid operations in Somalia in 2019. Moses reiterated his appeal to the international community to do more to prevent suffering and to protect the gains the people of Somaliland were able to make during early 2018. “Somalia has been faced with recurrent droughts, often leading to immense suffering and displacement. We have learned how important it is to secure an early intervention to prevent a crisis from escalating. In addition, there is a need to strengthen people’s resilience,” said Moses. Ongoing conflicts in Sool region, are also exacerbating the food crisis. NRC is planning to support families in the troubled area of Sool and Sannag with emergency cash transfers to buy essential food, water and shelter items. “More displaced people mean more dependency on humanitarian aid, which puts additional pressure on agencies with limited resources to reach everyone in need. This is compounded by the fact people can´t reach services because of restrictions to access. We urged all parties to the conflict to allow people safe access to services they desperately need,” Moses added.

A Somali citizen has been charged with kidnapping and other counts for his alleged role in the abduction of a freelance journalist who was held hostage in Somalia for nearly three years, according to federal charging documents unsealed Thursday in New York. According to a criminal complaint, Abdi Yusuf Hassan was part of a conspiracy to kidnap the journalist in January 2012 in Galkayo, Somalia, and demand $20 million in ransom. The journalist was released Sept. 23, 2014. While the journalist is not named in the complaint or in a superseding indictment, the dates of his capture and release, and several details outlined in the court documents, match the experiences of author Michael Scott Moore, a German-American who was abducted by pirates in Somalia while he was there writing a book about piracy. Moore’s publicist said he was unreachable for an interview Thursday. In November, Moore confirmed to the New York Times that another man indicted in the case, Mohamed Tahlil Mohamed, was one of his captors. Mohamed and Hassan are listed as co-defendants. According to court documents, Hassan, 51, was born in Mogadishu and is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He faces six counts, including kidnapping conspiracy, hostage-taking conspiracy and unlawful use of firearms. He was arrested in Minneapolis on Friday and will be returned to New York to face charges. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney in New York to comment on his behalf. The charging documents say the journalist was in a vehicle on Jan. 21, 2012, in the vicinity of Galkayo when he was surrounded by a group of heavily armed men carrying what appeared to be AK-47 assault rifles and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. He was abducted and struck with weapons, injuring his head and wrist. He was taken to different areas in Somalia, and at one point was held in a vessel off the Somali coast. He told investigators that he and another hostage were typically guarded by about 10 men, all armed with assault rifles or belt-fed machine guns. In December 2013, he was moved to a residence near Galkayo, which was frequently visited by Hassan, the complaint says. The complaint says Hassan spoke English and was a translator for the hostage takers; the journalist, who identified Hassan from a lineup, said he also appeared to hold a leadership position over the other guards. Multiple times during the journalist’s captivity, Hassan ordered him to call a family member to try to demand more money for ransom. During one call on Jan. 30, 2012, the journalist told a family member that his captors were demanding $20 million “and that if they did not receive the money within 24 hours, they would stop providing food and water to Victim-1,” the complaint said. In another call in May 2012, the journalist said things had “gotten very serious” and another hostage had been tortured in front of him. The journalist said there was a real threat that if the ransom didn’t come through, he would be sold to al-Shabab. In May 2012, the pirates released a video, showing the journalist in an undisclosed location with a prayer shawl over his head, surrounded by masked kidnappers who pointed a machine gun and rocket-propelled grenade at him. The journalist was released in September 2014. Moore has said his family raised $1.6 million for his release. According to the complaint, Hassan entered the U.S. in New York on Sept. 15, 2015, and was interviewed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. He allegedly said he worked as the Minister of the Interior and Security for Galmudug State in Somalia, which includes Galkayo, and his job included arranging for the release of kidnapped people, including the journalist.
