Ever since the government in UK announced they will illegalize jaadka a few months ago, Kiinyaati politicians, from their president to their trade associations from Meru region were making loud noises against the future ban of jaadka from UK. This month, some MPs from Kiikuuyo land have paid a visit to London, lobbying heavily the British MPs. It seems they might have listened. Read on. ____________________ Britain should scrap plan to ban khat drug - MPs The British government said in July that it would ban the drug, which is already prohibited in the United States and much of Europe. Parliament has yet to approve the decision. Banning the use of khat, or qat, would create tension between the police and immigrants, particularly Somalis who have settled across Britain, the committee said in a report. It would also be seen as a betrayal by Kenya, where growing khat is a big source of income in some areas, the panel added. Any damage to bilateral relations could undermine the two countries' joint fight against militants. "It is baffling that potential friction, between already disadvantaged communities and the police, has not been fully considered," said committee chairman Keith Vaz. "We cannot afford for those who are already marginalised to be pushed towards criminality or extremism." Home Secretary Theresa May said in July that the ban would help prevent Britain from becoming a hub for the illegal trade in khat to countries where it is banned. She also cited evidence that khat has been linked to "low attainment and family breakdowns". Kenyan lawmakers told the committee that a khat ban in Britain could lead to people once employed in the trade joining al Shabaab, the Islamist militant group in Somalia. The committee criticised the government for its failure to discuss the proposal in more detail with officials in Kenya, a former British colony. "Considering Kenya's importance as a partner in the fight against international terrorism, and the well-established links between poverty and radicalisation, the lack of consultation on this issue is particularly concerning," the committee said. Instead of a ban, the committee said the government should consider licensing khat imports to help prevent Britain becoming a hub for traffickers of the drug. Reuters

Last month government security forces raided Radio Shabelle arresting all journalists at the station forcing it to shut down. All I am saying is I can play the blame game too.. Fitzgerald said "reserving judgement is a matter of infinite hope." Well at least folks shouldn't be quick to make judgement from their electronic devices, when in fact they are very detached from such scene. But such inclinations are expected given our relationship with government over the few years. SomaliPhilosopher;987055 wrote: ^^ Oh didn't notice that comma. Well, that doesn't change what i meant. "bashir" is the one who pressured her, an employee of Shabeelle. How do you know that? Because a government afhayeen said so? You take as face value whatever an afhayeen of government utters or alleges? Kamoon.

He is the one alleging the victim is pressured by warbaahinta Shabeelle. So Cumar Cismaan (Omar Osman) is not a worker of Shabeelle as you mistakenly quoted above.

Mashruuca Ugaandha ayaa bilowday oo waa la isla fahmay hadda oo saf dheer lagu soo wada jiraa. Ugaandha, Burundi, Kiinya, Siiraliyoon, Nayjeeriya, xataa Jabuuti geeskeeda kasoo gishay. Bishii hore ayaa la qoray tan: Uganda’s AMISOM head, others suspended over corruption The Ugandan military has suspended 24 army officers after it emerged they were allegedly involved in corruption while posted as peacekeepers in war-torn Somalia. The Ugandan media reported on Tuesday, quoting an anonymous military source in Kampala saying the officers incriminated including the head of Uganda’s peacekeeping contingent in Somalia Brigadier Michael Ondoga have since been recalled and suspended as investigations open on the case. The Daily Monitor newspaper said the suspects are being probed for allegedly taking part in the black market dealing in foodstuff and fuel rationed for peacekeeping troops engaging Islamist insurgents in Somalia where some 18, 000 soldiers make up the AMISOM force. With a 6, 000-strong troop presence in Somalia, Uganda has the largest number of peacekeepers under AMISOM whose operations against al-Shabaab are funded by the United Nations and the European Union. Ondonga and 23 other Ugandan peacekeepers were recalled to Kampala following allegations of corrupt practices which were described as detrimental to military operations in Somalia. It was alleged that junior members of the Ugandan contingent were not paid and while foodstuff meant for them were allegedly sold. The Daily Monitor weighed in on the issue, claiming the country’s soldiers fighting in Somalia were fed once every day and blamed theft and the sale of foods meant for them as responsible for the situation. Meanwhile Ondonga’s appointment as Uganda’s military attaché to Kenya has been revoked by President Yoweri Museveni. Xigasho
