The bill would provide “adequate protection to certain vulnerable groups,” says Mohamed Ahmed, director of the legal department of Somaliland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Somaliland looks to be on the verge of enacting a bill that would punish anyone found guilty of a sexual offense. It’s not that rape is legal in Somaliland, a self-declared republic that broke away from Somalia in 1991 but is not recognized internationally. The penal code recognizes some sexual offenses. Yet they’re so narrowly defined that critics say women and girls remain unprotected. The current penal code refers to sexual offenses by the words “carnal violence” and “acts of lust.” “As [the] government of Somaliland, we want to properly address this issue once and for all,” says Mohamed Ahmed, director of the legal department of Somaliland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in an email to NPR. That means not only providing “adequate protection to certain vulnerable groups,” he writes, but allowing the government “to track and properly handle perpetrators of sexual offences.” This month, the lower house of parliament passed “the Somaliland Rape and Sexual Offences Bill,” which criminalizes gender-based violence. VOA Africa reported that the bill was approved by 46 of 51 parliament members. Getting this far has proven challenging. “Previously many politicians and government officials were denying the existence of rape in Somalia,” says Guleid Ahmed Jama, chairman of the Somaliland Human Rights Centre which advocates for justice for victims in the courts. If the legislation passes, a person convicted of rape would be sentenced to a minimum of 15 to 20 years in prison. A person who rapes someone under the age of 15 would receive 18 to 22 years or a life sentence if the rapist infects a victim of any age with HIV. The bill also lays out specific punishments for trafficking, gang rape, attempted rape, forced marriage, unwanted touching and other sexual advances. And it lays out the duties of police officers and the courts in enforcing the law. It mandates that the Supreme Court and the National Judiciary Committee ensure judges be trained to handle and hear sexual offenses cases. A person accused of a sexual offense would not be allowed to use a victim’s sexual history as evidence in an attempt to be acquitted. The shift started in 2013, when civil society groups began to work with the House of Representatives to criminalize all sexual offenses. The proposed bill on sexual offenses “was removed from the parliament agenda several times,” according to a written statement from Nafisa Yusuf Mohamed, executive director of the Nagaad Network. She says there were law enforcement officials who accused groups like Nagaad of spreading a myth that sexual assault was a problem in Somaliland. According to Somaliland Human Rights Centre’s 2017 annual report, 81 rape cases were prosecuted last year — out of some 3.5 million people. But advocates for the new bill believe the actual number is higher. “Even the government institutions who receive the victims do not share the information with civil society. They don’t want the numbers to go out,” says Jama. Not only have many officials ignored sexual offenses, victims fail to come forward to report crimes. They often don’t want to be known. Ahmed Jama says that if a community were to find out that a woman spoke out about being raped to the police or to her peers, the stigma and discrimination might mean she never marries or often experiences harassment in the streets. Even though the new bill passed the lower house, Jama is concerned that it could spark debate in the upper house, which has more conservative members than the lower house. In addition to standardizing penalties for convicted rapists and other sexual offenders, the bill has clear wording to establish that only the state has the authority to prosecute. That’s an attempt to prevent traditional elders from taking matters into their own hands in a parallel system known as “customary law.” The elders intervene and sometimes order a rape victim to marry her assailant. Ahmed Jama stresses the importance of enforcement. “These unfair and unjust interventions from the traditional elders might persist unless the government takes more robust actions with them,” he says. The challenge will be greatest in rural areas of Somaliland, Ahmed Jama says, where the government has less presence. The bill also states that police under the direction of the Office of the Attorney General should interview victims and immediately start an investigation. But supporters of the bill are worried that the police might not be a trusted source for enforcement. “It is not only a legal issue, where if you have a law you can solve it. It is a matter of law enforcement. Who are they? Are they trained? Are they themselves abusers of their wives? You have look at all of that in order to answer the problem. If the police is tolerant, laws will not be implemented,” says Ahmed Jama. Somaliland’s new bill calls for the Police Commissioner and Office of the Attorney General to ensure that police are trained to investigate sexual offenses. “Even though our resources are limited, we will try our best to at least try to train significant number of our police in order to enable them to handle these cases,” says Mohamed Ahmed, director of the legal department of Somaliland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. “It will be imperative that key actors such as police, prosecutors, judges and lawyers are trained on how to implement the bill,” says Antonia Mulvey, executive director of Legal Action Worldwide. She says that more effort should be placed on training women police investigators and prosecutors, pointing to signs that women and girls tend to feel more confident in reporting offenses to women. “Since Somaliland appointed women in these positions, there has been a significant increase in the number of convictions of sexual violence crimes.” The upper house, which will vote on the bill, is on leave until March 1. “I am uncertain whether they will approve [the text] as the lower house of parliament approved,” says Ahmed. The lower house may still have the ability to override the upper house if it rejects the bill. If approved, the bill will head to President Muse Bihi Abdi to be signed into law. Supporters believe that Abdi, who has spoken out for gender equality, would indeed sign.

Four-year-old Faylow is one of the 160,000 children treated for severe malnutrition by UNICEF in Somalia in 2017. Photo: UNICEF Somalia-Makundi 30 January 2018 – One year after Somalia declared drought as a national emergency, famine has so far been averted due to collective and unprecedented humanitarian action, and on Tuesday, the country marked a turning point towards ending the cycle of recurring crises, with the launch of a Government-led, United Nations-supported humanitarian response plan. At a high-level event in the capital Mogadishu, the 2018 Humanitarian Response Plan, seeking $1.5 billion to address the needs of 5.4 million people, was jointly presented with a Recovery and Resilience Framework (RRF), which outlines the way forward for recovery and longer-term resilience aimed at addressing the root causes of Somalia’s recurring humanitarian crises. To address the impact of recurrent drought and famine risk, as a consequence of fragility, the Federal Government of Somalia led a Drought Impact Needs Assessment (DINA), in partnership with Federal Member States, the Banadir Regional Administration, the European Union, the UN and the World Bank. The outcomes of the assessment have informed the RRF, which will enable the Federal Government and Federal Member states to devise medium- and long-term solutions to promote development and address the root causes of vulnerability to drought. The DINA and the RRF have been developed in alignment with the 2018 Response Plan and in coordination with humanitarian partners, in order to ensure complementarity and, most importantly, to protect humanitarian achievements. The joint launch was attended by Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire and other senior representatives of the Somali Federal Government, as well as the international community, including the Administrator of the UN Development Programme (UNDP), Achim Steiner, UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Mark Lowcock, World Bank Senior Vice-President Mahmoud Mohieldin, and the European Union. Participants at the launch in Mogadishu of the 2018 Somalia Humanitarian Response Plan and the Resilience and Recovery Framework. UN Photo/Omar Abdisalan Opening the event, Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire emphasized his Government’s resolve in moving from crisis to recovery, saying: “Somalia is turning over a new leaf in its history. Important and significant progress is being made on our peace- and state-building agenda. We are determined to overcome the challenges posed by recurring droughts that risk undermining these gains, and we count on our international partners to support us in this endeavor.” On his first visit to Somalia, Mr. Steiner recognized the Government’s leadership in averting famine in 2017 and highlighted the opportunity to build on this achievement while simultaneously implementing longer-term solutions. “Today, Somalia has more effective institutions than it has had in decades. Progress in the state-building and peace-building processes in Somalia since 2012 has now created conditions in which targeted efforts can be made to define and implement solutions so that Somalia’s citizens will hopefully not have to face the risk of famine again,” he said. Noting the magnitude of the humanitarian crisis, Mr. Lowcock urged the international community to sustain its life-saving support, while recognizing that that the situation cannot be solved by humanitarian interventions alone. “Ending need in Somalia can only be achieved if we respond to immediate humanitarian needs while simultaneously implementing longer-term solutions to build resilience. Humanitarian and development partners are working with the Government to help ensure Somalis are less vulnerable to food insecurity and malnutrition, to natural hazards and displacement, and that they have better access to basic social services,” Mr. Lowcock said. Referencing the new way of working, and emphasizing the significance of the HRP being jointly launched with the RRF, Mr. Mohieldin stated that “Somalia is ahead of the curve in its effort to overcome the challenges facing the country”. He noted that hard investment was required to implement the RRF and applauded the Government’s efforts to normalize its relations with the international finance system. In its statement, the European Union expressed appreciation for the Government’s leadership and pledged its continued support. “As a major partner to Somalia, who promotes a comprehensive approach linking security, political engagement, development and humanitarian aid, the European Union is pleased by the resolve shown by the government to lead us in a collective effort to move from reaction to prevention,” said Fulgencio Garrido Ruiz, Deputy Head of the European Union Delegation to Somalia.

Supporters of opposition leader Raila Odinga attend a mock “swearing-in” ceremony at Uhuru Park in downtown Nairobi, Kenya KENYA’S government has outlawed the opposition National Resistance Movement (NRM) after former presidential challenger Raila Odinga held a mock “inauguration” today. Interior Minister Fred Matiangi issued an official notice last night listing the NRM — a loose association of opposition politicians — as an organised criminal group. Being a member of such a group can lead to 10 years in jail or a fine of more than £3,500. Up to now the main NRM achievement has been a largely ignored boycott of businesses considered close to President Uhuru Kenyatta. But Mr Odinga, of the Orange Democratic Movement party, declared himself “the people’s president” today at a rally in a Nairobi park attended by tens of thousands. Police were abruptly pulled from the park and Mr Odinga said he felt vulnerable after his protection detail was withdrawn. However, there was a heavy police presence in poor parts of the capital considered opposition strongholds. The government cut off live transmission of radio stations and the top three TV channels. Mr Kenyatta had earlier “expressly threatened to shut down and revoke the licences of any media house” that aired live broadcasts, the Kenya Editors’ Guild said. Attorney General Githu Muigai said beforehand that today’s mock swearing-in would constitute treason. Mr Odinga and his supporters contend that he is the legitimate president of Kenya. The result of a presidential vote held in August, won by Mr Kenyatta, was annulled by the Supreme Court after Mr Odinga alleged that electoral commission computers had been tampered with. A second vote was held in October, but Mr Odinga boycotted it after his proposed electoral reforms were not put in place. The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights said that at least 92 people were killed and dozens more raped during months of election turmoil.

By Ahmed Abdi Hargeisa— (Somaliland Informer) Somaliland’s Second Deputy-Speaker of the Senate said on Tuesday that the parliament will debate on a new legislation to raise taxes on Khat amid controlling inflation. Inflation, tribal infighting, and border skirmishes, among other things, have challenged president Muse Bihi Abdi’s new government. Somaliland government recently imposed heavy taxes on Khat dealers as part of its endeavors to tackle rising food prices and basic commodities.The decision angered Somaliland’s Khat entrepreneurs who expressed their concerns to the authority. The new government says the move will allow Khat dealers to increase the price of Khat in Somaliland for decreasing consumption and discouraging young users of the Khat to quit it. “The increases in the price of Khat in Somaliland will result in a reduction in inflation and government’s decision to raise Khat taxes by up to 50 percent will be debated on a new bill for the upcoming session,” said Dr. Ali Yusuf Ahmed Somaliland’s Second Deputy-Speaker of the Senate. “We will work with the government to end the inflation.” Dr. Ahmed said the money will go to the hospitals in a bid to help its victims overcome the troubles caused by it. Somaliland has three political parties that are divided into tribal lines and the recent clashes at Dararweyne village in El-Afweyne district of Sanaag region challenged Somaliland’s security.

Diyanet Foundation restored Mogadishu’s Sheikh Sufi Imam Hatip High School 6 years ago ANKARA —Turkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV) on Tuesday said the Sheikh Sufi Imam Hatip High School in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu, which it restored six years ago, currently hosts 500 students. According to Turkey’s religious services consultant in Somalia Ahmet Akturk, numerous students were orphans. TDV said 270 of these students are boarders. ”All of the students’ costs are covered by TDV and the foundation will make sure the students continue their university studies,” he added. Turkey began to set up various projects in Somalia in 2011 when President Recep Tayyip Erdogan launched an initiative to help the East African country, which was undergoing a famine due to drought. The initiative later grew to other humanitarian activities and educational projects, according to the statement. Sheikh Sufi Imam Hatip High School, which has existed in Mogadishu since 1960, stopped functioning in 1991 due to civil war. According to TDV , a new protocol signed with the Ministry of Education of Somalia in 2012 led to the resumption of educational activities. Approximately 2,000 students apply to the school every year but only a hundred are accepted due to quota restrictions. Eleventh grade student Muhammad Hasan said the school was a “great opportunity” for all students there. “We get a combination of scientific and religious knowledge, we learn in the best way,” Hasan added. According to Leyla Sherif, another student, the school provides not only education but safety and health services too. “Our school is one of the best schools in Somalia. We learn both religion and science and my favorite course is Turkish,” Leyla added. Since 2011, TDV has built centers for the disabled, hospitals, and orphanages in Mogadishu. AA

The leaders of Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan have met on the sidelines of the ongoing African Union Summit, as they continue to work towards resolving the impasse over Ethiopia’s Grand Renaissance Dam project (GERD). Ethiopia’s Foreign Affairs ministry spokesperson tweeted updates from the deliberations of the three countries leaders, Egypt’s president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Sudan’s Omar Hassan al-Bashir and Ethiopian prime minister Hailermaria Desalegn, saying they were conducting discussions ‘on trilateral issues of mutual interest’. #30thAUSummit Side Event: PM Hailemariam of #Ethiopia , President El Sisi of #Egypt & President Bashir of #Sudan had a very successful meeting in Addis.The meeting covered all outstanding issues and charted the way forward in a highly spirited sense of oneness with common purpose pic.twitter.com/j5qNsHOGW1 — MFA Ethiopia (@mfaethiopia) 29 January 2018 Influential media portal, Addis Standard later tweeted a video of the Egyptian president reassuring journalists that relations between among the three countries were healthy. ‘‘Rest assured. Everything is going well. We are speaking as one nation, not three,’‘ the Egyptian president is quoted to have said after the meeting. Relations have recently been strained by a failure to agree on the impact that Ethiopia’s GERD project might have on the water flowing in Egypt and Sudan. Egypt has insisted that technical studies must be done to assess the impact and even asked that the World Bank be appointed as arbitrator, while Ethiopia insists that the project will not affect the water flow to its neighbours. At the peak of the dispute, Sudan withdrew its ambassador in Cairo, following media reports that Egypt attempted to sideline Sudan from the talks. Reporting on events from today’s meeting Egyptian media reported that Sis said the return of the Sudanese ambassador is ‘a foregone conclusion’ before urging media houses and journalists to safeguard the good relations in the Nile basin countries. ‘‘It is now your role to maintain good relations between countries, and not send messages that would confuse the public or offend others,’‘ Sisi reportedly said. Sisi also assured the journalists that there is a high level committee with representatives of different sectors concerned with following up on the dam issue.
