APRIL 8, 2024
Location: Mogadishu
Event: The U.S. Embassy in Nairobi has received information about threats to multiple locations in Mogadishu, including Aden Adde International Airport in Mogadishu. All movements of U.S. Embassy personnel have been canceled for Tuesday, April 9, 2024.
The U.S. Department of State level-four travel advisory (“do not travel”) for Somalia remains in effect due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, health issues, kidnapping, and piracy.
The U.S. Embassy in Somalia reminds U.S. citizens that terrorists continue to plot kidnappings, bombings, and other attacks in Somalia. They may conduct attacks with little or no warning, targeting airports and seaports, checkpoints, government buildings, hotels, restaurants, shopping areas, and other areas where large crowds gather and Westerners frequent, as well as government, military, and Western convoys.
Methods of attack include, but are not limited to, car bombs, suicide bombers, individual attackers, and mortar fire.
The Department of State has issued a Level 4 Travel Advisory for Somalia and advises U.S. citizens not to travel to Somalia due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, health issues, kidnapping, and piracy.
The U.S. government has extremely limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Somalia due to the lack of a permanent consular presence in Somalia.
Actions to Take:
Continue to exercise vigilance while in Somalia.
Review your personal security plans.
Notify a trusted person of your travel and movement plans.
Avoid large crowds, gatherings and demonstrations.
Stay alert in locations frequented by tourists/Westerners.
Be aware of your surroundings and local Security developments.
Monitor local media and news for updates.

Ethiopia is set to become the 9th member state of East Africa Community (#EAC), CS Malonza says
This was disclosed by Peninah Malonza, the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of EAC, Arid and Semi-arid Lands and Regional Development.
Speaking while leading a relief food distribution drive in Kitui Central Constituency, Malonza announced that talks between Ethiopia and EAC Summit Heads of State are in the last stages, and soon Ethiopia will be part of the bloc.
Aside from Ethiopia’s admission, the EAC partner states also seek to harmonize critical policies and put in place requisite institutions to attain a single currency for the region by the end of this year as outlined in the EAC Monetary Union Protocol.

Does anyone think HSM was arm twisted into joining EAC? Are Somalis aware of EAC charter?

Government manufactured support

It clearly has no physical means to close, but it's legally within prerogative.

Amharas have been moaning about this.

It finally happened . He's looking to replace Qoorqoor according to the rumor mill.

Predictable move

It reminds me of HSM many useless portfolios given to his competitors from Mogadishu. It looks like Hamza started doing the same thing now that he's out of job.

I was speaking in general terms. What HSM did is a power grap and will lead to an term extension and years of bickering. Even if we don't get into the merits of the changes, the fact that he didn't engage any stakeholders discredited the whole process not to mention the abuse or complete disregard of parliamentary procedures.

I am surprised Cagjar didn't force people to come.

We can make arguments for some of the changes that are going to beneficial as such the PM issue. But I do believe elections should be ran by the states. Perhaps the federal government and political parties can observe the process. Political parties can certainly challenge the results in the court system.

QuoteSo far, nobody has seen the final version of the four amended chapters, and nobody has any idea of what the president has ratified last night.
QuoteIt's quite comedic that all the MPs voted in favor, with none opposing or abstaining.
Let's see how one-man constitution is being implemented.
