Stabiliteit en goed bestuur Somaliland essentieel voor bestrijding piraterij Nieuwsbericht | 08-06-2011 Staatssecretaris Ben Knapen bracht vandaag een bezoek aan Somaliland, een noordelijke regio van Somalie. Op de agenda stond onder meer een ontmoeting met president Mahamoud van Somaliland en de minister van Buitenlandse Zaken van Somaliland. Somaliland kent enige jaren stabiliteit en hield vorig jaar democratische verkiezingen. De staatssecretaris stelde dat ervaringen op het gebied van stabiliteit en democratisering in Somaliland een voorbeeld kunnen zijn voor de rest van Somalië. Acceptatie van overheidsgezag en een actief preventiebeleid met burgers draagt bij aan voorkoming van piraterij. “Vanaf de kust van Somaliland worden geen piraterijaanvallen uitgevoerd. Het is belangrijk dat instabiliteit en piraterij in de omringende regio niet overslaan naar Somaliland,” aldus de staatssecretaris bij zijn bezoek aan Hargeisa, de hoofdstad van Somaliland. De staatssecretaris bezocht verder de gevangenis van Hargeisa. Daar zijn 87 door Somaliland berechte piraten gedetineerd. Nederland gaat via het UN Office for Drugs and Crime 1 miljoen euro bijdragen aan de bouw van een nieuwe gevangenis, onder meer voor piraten, en versterking van het justitiële systeem. Detentie van piraten in de regio wordt daarmee vergroot en betrokkenheid van UNODC garandeert naleving van internationale standaarden. Versterking van de rechtstaat zal ook bijdragen aan verdere stabiliteit in Somaliland. In bijzijn van de voorzitter van het huis van Afgevaardigden legde staatssecretaris Knapen de eerste steen voor een nieuw parlementsgebouw. Nederland draagt voor 700.000 euro bij aan de bouw van het gebouw en aan training van parlementariërs en ondersteunende staf. Staatssecretaris Knapen bezocht eerder op de dag een kamp van Somalische ontheemden. De aanwezigheid van ontheemden leidt soms tot spanning met de lokale bevolking. Nederland steunt via de VN Vluchtelingenorganisatie de tijdelijke opvang van interne ontheemden in heel Somalië. “Een veiliger Somalie moet leiden tot de terugkeer van deze ontheemden,” aldus de staatssecretaris. Met vrouwenorganisaties en de recent aangestelde Mensenrechtencommissie besprak de staatssecretaris tenslotte ervaringen met vredesopbouw en mensenrechten. Maatschappelijke organisaties worden gehoord. “Hoewel er nog veel werk te doen is, is er zeker sprake van een bemoedigende ontwikkeling,” aldus de staatsecretaris. Somaliland heeft zich in 1991 onafhankelijk verklaard van Somalië. De internationale gemeenschap erkent deze eenzijdige verklaring echter niet. Versterken van stabiliteit in Somaliland kan leiden tot economische ontwikkeling van deze regio en wellicht een positieve invloed op Somalië hebben. Het versterken van fragiele staten is een van de speerpunten van het Nederlandse OS beleid.

A confidential United Nations report warns that the invasion by Sudan's military of the contested north-south region of Abyei could lead to "ethnic cleansing" if the tens of thousands of residents who fled are not able to return. The UN human rights report -- dated May 29 and marked "Not For Public Citation or Distribution" -- said the north's Khartoum government may have carried out a premeditated military plan to invade Abyei when Sudanese Armed Forces, or SAF, troops moved in May 21. "The SAF attack and occupation of Abyei and the resultant displacement of over 30 000 Ngok Dinkas from Abyei could lead to ethnic cleansing, if conditions for the return of the displaced Ngok Dinka residents are not created," according to the report, which was obtained by the Associated Press on Friday. Expressing its "grave concern" about the escalating violence, the UN Security Council later on Friday condemned Khartoum for seizing control of Abyei, "and the resulting displacement of tens of thousands of residents". It also called on the Sudanese Armed Forces to "ensure an immediate halt to all looting, burning, and illegal resettlement" in Abyei and asked both the north and the south to withdraw their military forces from the area. The Ngok Dinka is a black tribe that associates itself with Sudan's south. The Ngok Dinka fled Abyei when northern troops and ethnic Misseriya -- Arab cattle herders aligned with the north -- moved in and looted homes. The UN report estimated that between 15%t and 20% of the homes in Abyei were burned in what it called "deliberate destruction" and a violation of international humanitarian law. "By destroying their homes, looting their properties and inspiring fear and terror, over 30 000 Ngok Dinkas have been forcefully displaced from their ancestral homes, leaving the Abyei area now more or less homogeneously occupied by the Misseriya," it said. Ethnic cleansing, the report said, is a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas. The report said that the likelihood that all the Ngok Dinka residents can return to Abyei "is limited", given the massive destruction of civilian property and the occupation of Abyei by northern forces. CONTINUES BELOW President Barack Obama's Homeland Security and Counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, held meetings in Sudan's capital of Khartoum this week to discuss deteriorating security conditions around Abyei. Princeton Lyman, the US Special Envoy to Sudan, was in the southern capital of Juba on Friday and told AP it was not realistic to have the Ngok Dinka move back into Abyei while it is occupied. "People who fled out of fear will not be comfortable coming back," Lyman said. "The key is for the SAF to withdraw with appropriate security arrangements from the UN. Then we know people will be able to safely go back." North and south Sudan fought a more than two-decade civil war that ended with a 2005 peace agreement that also gave the south the right to vote for independence. That vote passed overwhelmingly, and Southern Sudan is poised to become the world's newest nation in July. But tensions over Abyei -- a fertile land near major oil fields -- has raised fears of conflict only weeks before the south secedes. War crimes The north's invasion of Abyei was precipitated by a May 19 attack on northern and UN troops by southern soldiers. The UN report said two northern soldiers were killed in that attack, which it called a trigger for the invasion but one that appeared to be a "deliberate plan" by the north "as evidenced by the SAF troop build up in the area before the attack", the report said. The report also called the southern shelling of UN peacekeepers a violation of international humanitarian law. In its Friday statement, the Security Council condemned the May 19 and 24 attacks on the UN mission and its personnel, calling them "criminal acts" that "threaten to undermine the commitment of the parties to avoid a return to war". The council also warned "that those responsible for violations of international law, including humanitarian and human rights law, as well as those who ordered those acts, will be held accountable". The UN is not the first organisation to warn that war crimes may have been committed by the Khartoum government's army in the recent Abyei violence. A US-based project supported by Hollywood star George Clooney published satellite images of the destruction in Abyei after the invasion and called on the UN Security Council to refer the invasion to the International Criminal Court. The Satellite Sentinel Project said a group of former US civilian and military officials had affirmed the group's visual evidence that the Sudanese government had "allegedly committed war crimes during its occupation of the disputed region of Abyei". David Scheffer, former US State Department Special Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes, was quoted by the group as saying that the evidence derived from the satellite imagery of the destruction in Abyei "reveals actions that appear to violate the principles of military necessity, proportionality, and distinction -- primary pillars of the laws of war". As tanks rolled into the town and Antonov planes provided air cover for the northern troops and their associated militia forces, tens of thousands of Abyei residents fled south, many on foot, while carrying small children and whatever possessions they could manage. The UN Security Council, on a visit to Sudan when the invasion occurred, called for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the Sudanese Armed Forces. But nearly two weeks later northern troops have not left Abyei, and many diplomats, analysts, and even Southern Sudanese officials quietly say that no one has much leverage to force the north to withdraw. In its Friday statement, the council said that because of the continued insecurity it believes both sides would "benefit from a continuing UN-mandated presence in Abyei after July 9". Sudan informed the United Nations in New York earlier this month that it wants the UN peacekeeping force to leave its territory when South Sudan becomes independent. - Sapa-AP

Africa own no one is forcing them the Garaad clan Joined puntland their tribesmen in the late 1990s a regional state that supports the unity they love so much not only that it was an administration created by tolka.Any how the majority of the Garaad clan natives from sool especially laascanood area refused to be no longer part of Puntland i wonder why, and they rather choose to be part of Somaliland the central and eastern sool regions in particular. Che yes SNM was created in the holy land so?

Not sure if this news is true

Africa own these people will never give peace a chance their aim and purpose is drag Somaliland back to Mogadisho even if Somaliland allowed Border demarcation they will not accept that because these people will not rest till they achieve the destruction of Somaliland. Thus the Somaliland people will not allow the dismemberment of Somaliland
