  6. Abubakar is member of the AUHLP on Sudan. He didn't mention position of his gov't. Simply put the core of his optimistic call was the feeling that the referendum would put certain issues to rest. So xaaji saab, could you elaborate, on which points of his call you agree to disagree?

  8. Human Rights Watch whitewashes Ethiopian genocide By Thomas C. Mountain Online Journal Contributing Writer Nov 5, 2010, 00:28 Human Rights Watch has just released an over 100-page “human rights” report on Ethiopia that whitewashes the crimes against humanity and genocide being committed by the Ethiopian regime. In the last 10 years, the Meles Zenawi led government of Ethiopia has committed the following war crimes and crimes against humanity on both the Ethiopian people and their neighbors; 1) The 2000 invasion of Eritrea, with some 150,000 war dead and another 1.5 million refugees. 2) The 2006 invasion of Somalia, with tens of thousands killed and over a million refugees. 3) The genocidal program of counterinsurgency and blockade of food aid during a series of record-breaking droughts in the ethnically Somali, Ethiopian Ogadēn region. Even the truth challenged Enough Project used the term “scorched earth” to describe the rape, murder, mass murder, theft of cattle and grain and the burning of homes and crops that is carried out every day by Ethiopian troops in the Ogadēn. Almost none of this made its way into the HRW report. There are many other examples of crimes committed by the Ethiopian regime not raised in the report, including the regimes counterinsurgencies in the Oromia and Tigray regions as well as the ethnic cleansing carried out in the western region of Gambella. The HRW report on Ethiopia mentions the 99.6 percent election “victory” the Meles Zenawi regime declared this year, but doesn’t expose the 500-plus protesters shot dead in the streets and over 50,000 thrown into concentration camps following the previous election in 2005. Ethiopia itself receives, according to recent reports, some $6.7 billion in Western aid and “forgiven” loans every year, yet remains the poorest country in Africa and one of the poorest, most aid dependent countries in the world. Another very important fact not mentioned in the HRW report is that Ethiopia has the largest, best-equipped army in Africa. Why is HRW refusing to report these crimes? Could it have something to do with the $100 million “matching grant” mega billionaire US businessman George Soros recently “donated” to HRW? Ethiopia is a crucial supporter of US foreign policy, America’s gendarme in East Africa, and has mostly been protected by leaders of NGOs who are recipients of Soros’ largess. The recent HRW report is just the latest example of this. Human Rights Watch or Human Rights Whitewash? You be the judge. Source
  9. 2010 US elections: Mixed impact on Ethiopia, Eritrea and regional politics Published 11/03/2010 - 8:49 p.m. GMT The outcome of the United States (US) national mid-term elections showed mixed results for American politicians who were outspoken on current events in the horn of Africa. Two big names who impacted US policy on Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia woke up to different fates on Wednesday while most other US officials who had commented on American foreign policies in the region remained in office. Senator Russ Feingold, one of the strongest critics of Ethiopia's Meles Zenawi government, lost a re-election bid to a republican candidate. Meanwhile, the Republican Ed Royce won convincingly in California. Two Republican Senators also remained in power in Oklahoma state where Senator Jim Inhofe governs. Senator Feingold has previously condemned the US policy in Somalia and the troubled horn of Africa that has been implemented since the Bush administration. He has been outspoken about human rights abuses committed by the Ethiopian government in Ethiopia and the region as well as sponsored Senate Bill S 3757 (Support for Democracy and Human Rights in Ethiopia Act of 2010). The Senator's defeat in the recent US election is seen positively among the authorities in Addis Ababa. Both Ed Royce and Senator Inhofe mostly support Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and US policy in the region. Ed Royce is famous for pushing the Obama administration to label Eritrea as a "state sponsor of terrorism" for supporting anti-government rebels in Somalia and the horn of Africa. And US Senator Inhofe was one of the officials who killed a human rights and pro-democracy legislature that denounced the Meles Zenawi government. However, Meles Zenawi's staunchest critic in the US congress, the 76-years old Congressman Donald Payne easily won for his 12th term in New Jersey. Congressman Payne was the author and sponsor of HR 2003 that denounced human rights abuses in Ethiopia under Meles Zenawi. Donald Payne has been a supporter of the Eritrean government and its policies in an effort to balance US interests in the region. In April 2010, the Congressman met with Ethiopian opposition leaders of Medrek party to discuss on how to put pressure on the Meles government. Congressman Payne has also been sympathetic to separatist dissidents in the Ogadēn region of Ethiopia, including his controversial wearing of the flag of the militant group Ogadēn National Liberation Front (ONLF), which the Ethiopian government has labeled a "terrorist organization." US Congressman Jack Kingston won his re-election in Georgia state. The Congressman reportedly lived many years in Ethiopia during the time of Emperor Haile Selassie, and during the 2005 polls in Ethiopia he praised the election process but called for an end to the violence. Democrat Congressman Keith Ellison won in his Minneapolis-area congressional district despite efforts by the Republican extremist group "Tea Party" movement's attack on Mr. Ellison for his Muslim faith. The Minnesota region is often nicknamed "Little Oromia" and "Little Somalia" by the local immigrant population from Ethiopia and Somalia. Congressman Keith Ellison often attends forums organized by anti-Meles political groups in Minnesota and he is sympathetic to Ogadēn , Oromo and Somalia politicians that oppose the policies of the Ethiopian government. US Congressman Chris Smith also won his re-election in New Jersey. He had sponsored the bill HR 5680 in support of accountability and democracy in Ethiopia following the election massacre in 2005. Congressman Smith famously spoke to Meles Zenawi "eyeball-to-eyeball" telling him "to investigate the slaughter of the pro-democracy demonstrators, to punish those responsible." Following his visit to Ethiopia, he demanded the release of opposition leaders from prison and asked "They’re all guilty simply because Meles says so? No trial? Not even a Kangaroo court?" Both the Ethiopian and Eritrean governments spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to influence US foreign policy in the region while Ethiopian, Somali and Eritrean opposition and interest groups lobby for American support to bring change in the horn of Africa.

  10. Former Nigerian leader urges people of Sudan to live together in peace APA, Abuja (Nigeria) Nigeria’s former military head of state Abdulsalami Abubakar has called on the people of Sudan to learn to live together in the interest of humanity. Abubakar is a member of the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel on Sudan (AUHLP) chaired by the former President of South Africa, Mr Thabo Mbeki. He said in statement mailed to Abuja on Sunday that no matter the outcome of the referendum scheduled for January 9, 2011, the people from the northern and southern parts of Sudan must live together as they share a common border and heritage. “Whether Southern Sudan separates or not, they are bound to live together, they must find ways and means of living together. “It is a must for them to continue to be together as they share a common heritage, hence they must accommodate each other,” he said. Abubakar said there were many people from Southern Sudan living in the North as there were many people from Northern Sudan living in the South. “There are issues of citizenship, joint ownership of what used to belong to Sudan, among many others that must be sorted out amicably. “So by nature, geography, border and heritage, they are one people and must find a way to live together through the spirit of give and take,” Abubakar said. However, Abubakar said the Doha peace negotiation on Sudan was yet to provide results as the major rebel groups have refused to attend the meeting. He said the Doha negotiation, which started two years ago, might end up like the Abuja Peace Accord which did not record any achievement. “Just like the Abuja-Dafur Peace Accord which some rebels refused to sign, and therefore made the implementation of the accord so difficult, so also, unless we have the major rebels attending the Doha Peace Negotiation, the issue of Darfur will continue to be a very difficult thing,” he said. Abubakar, however, expressed optimism that the forthcoming referendum would at least put certain issues to rest as on the issue of Darfur. Abubakar said the UN and the international community, the government of Sudan and that of Southern Sudan have pledged to provide the required logistics for the registration of voters which would soon commence.

  11. Saudi FM says Sudan referendum could lead to more violence (AFP) – 1 day ago RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The top Saudi diplomat said on Saturday that Sudan's coming referendum on the south's independence could reignite violence in the country rather than bring peace. Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said the original reason for the January referendum was to bring peace between the north and south in the wake of a two-decade-old civil war. "The solution needed is to stop the fighting between the north and the south," he told reporters. "If the referendum leads to a renewal of fighting, that is what we fear," said. He stressed the referendum, scheduled for January 9, must be fair and free, but reiterated Riyadh's worry that the largest Arab country by territory will be split in half. He said the Sudan referendum marks "a critical juncture in its history, threatening its territorial division." The referendum is part of a 2005 peace deal that ended a two-decade-old civil war in Sudan which left an estimated two million dead. An important aid donor to Sudan and ally to President Omar al-Bashir, Saudi Arabia has repeatedly expressed concern over the referendum without openly stating that it is opposed to it.

  12. Originally posted by NASSIR: Che, well said. In terms of per capita income, no region has done any progress. Most high-income regions according to a joint report by the World Bank and UNDP are 1. Mogadisho, 2. Northwest, 3. Awdal, 4. Sanaag 5. Bosaaso. Fergusson, that's a very twisted and squeezed map that almost eats a big chunk of Maakhir territory. Erigavo is a shared city and the clan border is at the eastern side of the city (made up four Quarters) while the coastal border is at near Mait. Look at my signature map, which's the only credible source. Clan disputes on land and other resources won't end until a government of national union comes, but there's a customary law and history that every clan family uses as precedents on which the legitimacy of an ownership claim is strictly derived. Nassir, I 've noticed your signature map. Agree with you. But people are still one and same. Solution is some where, or it should be invented. They can't keep cat fighting for clan borders for so long. Hopefully you caught my drift.
