The "masterminds" behind the false-gold scandal at the Ethiopian central bank might not have gotten caught if they’d used Theo Gray’s formula. On Wednesday, the BBC reported that millions of dollars in gold at the central bank of Ethiopia has turned out to be fake: What were supposed to be bars of solid gold turned out to be nothing more than gold-plated steel. They tried to sell the stuff to South Africa and it was sent back when the South Africans noticed this little problem. This is an amazing story for two reasons. First, that an institution like a central bank could get ripped off this way, and second that the people responsible used such a lousy excuse for fake gold. I consider myself something of an expert on fake gold (I’m not really, I just think I am) ever since I was asked to give advice on the subject to the author Damien Lewis for his recent thriller, Cobra Gold. I worked out in detail for him how you could make really convincing fake gold, and ended up as a minor character in the novel, where I am known as "Goldfinger ***". The problem with making good-quality fake gold is that gold is remarkably dense. It’s almost twice the density of lead, and two-and-a-half times more dense than steel. You don’t usually notice this because small gold rings and the like don’t weigh enough to make it obvious, but if you’ve ever held a larger bar of gold, it’s absolutely unmistakable: The stuff is very, very heavy. The standard gold bar for bank-to-bank trade, known as a "London good delivery bar" weighs 400 troy ounces (over thirty-three pounds), yet is no bigger than a paperback novel. A bar of steel the same size would weigh only thirteen and a half pounds. According to the news, the authorities have arrested pretty much everyone involved, from the people who sold the bank the gold, to bank officials, to the chemists responsible for testing and approving it on receipt. The problem is, anyone who so much as picked up one of these bars should have known immediately that they were fake, no fancy test required. The weight alone is an instant dead giveaway. Even a forklift operator lifting a palette full of them should have noticed that his machine wasn’t working hard enough. I think they must have been swapped out while in storage: Someone walked in each day with a new fake gold bar and walked out with a real one. If they were fake on arrival then everyone who handled them in any way must have either had no experience with gold or been in on the scam. Now, for me the more interesting question is, how do you make a fake gold bar that at least passes the pick-it-up test? The problem is that there are very few metals that are as dense as gold, and with only two exceptions they all cost as much or more than gold. The first exception is depleted uranium, which is cheap if you’re a government, but hard for individuals to get. It’s also radioactive, which could be a bit of an issue. The second exception is a real winner: tungsten. Tungsten is vastly cheaper than gold (maybe $30 dollars a pound compared to $12,000 a pound for gold right now). And remarkably, it has exactly the same density as gold, to three decimal places. The main differences are that it’s the wrong color, and that it’s much, much harder than gold. (Very pure gold is quite soft, you can dent it with a fingernail.) A top-of-the-line fake gold bar should match the color, surface hardness, density, chemical, and nuclear properties of gold perfectly. To do this, you could could start with a tungsten slug about 1/8-inch smaller in each dimension than the gold bar you want, then cast a 1/16-inch layer of real pure gold all around it. This bar would feel right in the hand, it would have a dead ring when knocked as gold should, it would test right chemically, it would weigh *exactly* the right amount, and though I don’t know this for sure, I think it would also pass an x-ray fluorescence scan, the 1/16" layer of pure gold being enough to stop the x-rays from reaching any tungsten. You’d pretty much have to drill it to find out it’s fake. (Unless, of course, central bank gold inspectors are wise to this trick and have developed a test for it: Something involving speed of sound say, or more powerful x-rays, or perhaps neutron activation analysis. If bars like this are actually a common problem, you certainly could devise a quick, non-destructive test for them, and for all I know, they have. Except, apparently, in Ethiopia.) Such a top-quality fake London good delivery bar would cost about $50,000 to produce because it’s got a lot of real gold in it, but you’d still make a nice profit considering that a real one is worth closer to $400,000. A lower budget version could be made by using the same under-sized tungsten slug but casting lead-antimony alloy around it (to match the hardness, sound, and feel of gold), then electroplating on a heavy coating of gold. Such a bar would still feel and sound right and be only very slightly underweight, while costing less than $500 to produce in quantity. It would not pass x-ray fluorescence, and whether it passes a chemical test would depend on how thick the electroplating is. This is the solution I recommended for Cobra Gold, because they only needed their fake gold to pass a field inspection, which is to say, someone picking it up and knowing what gold should feel like when you lift it. You may quibble for other aspects of the plot if you like, but I think the fake gold would have worked. And let me tell you, it’s a sad day for criminal masterminds when my fictional fake gold, designed only to trick a terrorist cell, is so much better than the real fake gold used to rip off a real government bank for millions of real dollars.

Somalia is located on the Horn of Africa, with an estimated population of between 9 and 10.5 millions. After 17 years and many attempts to restore governance since the overthrow of Siad Barre's regime in 1991, Somalia has had puppet government backed by Ethiopian troops for over three years but it is a weak government that cannot control the country, because it is incompetence and illegitimate. Over the past 17 years, Somalia has become divided into clan-based regional entities, leading to political segregation and the localisation of power and authority. Violent conflict between factions has been widespread in many regions. Islamic "Sharia" law has been introduced in certain areas to promote law and order alongside traditional systems of jurisdiction. The economic and social situations in Somalia have been negatively affected by the political crisis and the high incidence of violent conflict. The 2004 World Bank Report confirmed that Somalia is one of the poorest countries in the world, with a per capita income of US$226 and with 43.2% of the population living on less than US$1 a day. Unfortunately, this is the case for Somalia, where anarchy, violence and chaos have taken place for 17 years. Somalia is one of the nation state building exercises which appears to have established as a permanent characteristic on the international scenery. In order to understand the main circle of violence in which Somalia is today, it is necessary to briefly examine some key incidents in modern Somali history: As a result of the division of Somalia between Britain, France, Italy and Ethiopia during the late 19th century, there are substantial Somali populations living in Djibouti, Kenya and Ethiopia which has caused domestic and regional problems. Colonial powers came to appreciate the strategic location of Somalia after the Berlin Conference, which initiated the "Scramble for Africa." The arrival of Britain, France and Italy into Somali lands began in the late 19th century and quickly the area disintegrated into British Somaliland and Italian Somaliland. Both countries sought expand their control, enlisting locals to fight the every wars aimed at their own subjugation. When the newly independent states of British Somaliland and Italian Somaliland united to form the Republic of Somalia in 1960, the union impacted heavily on the political status of clans and lineages (Cornwell, 2004). With dependence on Soviet support in the late 1960s, Somalia's declared Socialist block. When the US withdrew aid to Ethiopia, the USSR, with Cuban support, quickly shifted from Somalia and went back to Ethiopia, in the result of hostility and aggression that increased into the new Cold War in the areas (Cornwell, R. 2004). In that context, led to Somalia political disaster because both Western and Eastern blocks have been playing role in order to achieve their geo-political interest without giving Somalia to real political, military and financial aid. With that result, Somalia become politically disintegrated and collapsed at the early 1990s. Since 1991, Somalia, where the warlords are the worst of the group, they are the primary responsibility for the problem of the Somali people. Looting, banditry, greedy warlords and well armed groups have dominated media images of conflict in Somalia. As Ikwunze (2000) described, 'The gang alleged led by an influential chiefs in the community, brazenly and openly carry out its nefarious activities behaviour resembling economic predation in collapsed state like Somalia'. These warlords will never reconcile or put arms down unless forced to. The United Nations intervened to restore hope in Somalia in 1993. That operation failed because the warlords fought the UN troops and UN peace keeping troops withdrew from Somalia a year later. First, the clan system was used cleverly by the dictatorial regime in pitting clan against clan that has resulted in hate and distrust which is widespread in the clans. Secondly, the lack of financial and technical assistance resulted in the failure of the state. Thirdly, a central form of government encouraged corruption and conspiracy (Global policy org. 2006). Social formations were characteristic in Somali society. Political mean and cultural values linked up with economic composition by the way of the ideology of kinship thus creating an interlinked net of social economic and political institutions. As a result, an individual Somalis location in any of these structures the society automatically included its kinship therefore the Somali society did not accept the way of nation state but they did accept a character of kinship (Lyons & Samatar 1995). The hostility of the Ethiopians to the Somalis is based on: religion, greed, annexation of regions; desire to control Somali tribes, ambition to occupy the coastal areas of Somalia. and plans to crush the dream of Greater Somalia. There is no difference among Ethiopian rulers from Menelik to Zenawi when it comes to tackling with the Somalis. Ethiopian rulers believe that brutality and humiliation is key weapon to vanquish the Somalis. Divide and rule is the second weapon in their choice particularly in the current era of warlords in Somalia. Somali people had always engaged in stiff liberation struggle pioneered by the national heroes such as Imam Ahmed Gurey, Mohamed Abdullah Hassan, the SYL, SNL leaders and other liberation movements in defence of their country and religion. The tyrannical Tigray Regime in Addis-Ababa has always sabotaged and disrupted all these previous conferences. It was regrettable that the Tigray regime has had a plenty opportunity to manipulate the selection and creation of puppet administrations inside Somalia with hidden agenda to serve Tigray's interest. Eventually, the Tigray regime has realised its dream of conquering and occupying Somalia in the pretext of defending the interim authority formed in Mbegathi Conference (Kenya). The enemy (Tigray) has invaded the country when it realised that Somali people are quite capable of pacifying Somalia. For instance, during the brief control of the Union of the Islamic Courts of Somalia, leaders managed to restore law and order in most parts of Somalia in a short period of time. For six months, the Somali people had enjoyed living in harmony, peace, calmness and renovation. The U.S. worked hand in hand with the Ethiopian invaders at every level of the Ethiopian military, while U.S. jets persistently caused terror from the air. Once the Ethiopians had placed themselves and their puppet Somali "government" in the capital, Mogadishu, the Americans sent their other African proxies, the Ugandan and Burundi military, to make up most of the weak African "peacekeeping" force in Somalia. The Somali resistance to the Ethiopian invasion consider the African peacekeepers in Mogadishu to be agents of the U.S. and, concerning the Ugandans and Burundians they are right to attack. If there were ever a formula for bloody and protracted war in Somalia, it is Ethiopian occupation, which is already unifying diverse elements of the Somali population in fighting (Thanks of Allah). There is also great cause for concern about the situation in southern and central Somalia, and in particular Mogadishu. The situation for civilians in Mogadishu has grown intolerable. In December 2006, Ethiopian forces with US support ousted the coalition of Islamic Courts from Mogadishu and other areas of south-central Somalia in a lightning offensive. Ethiopia's intervention in Somalia is closely linked to regional security domination, including a proxy war with Eritrea and the support given to the ONLF and other Ethiopian rebel movements by groups in Somalia. The armed conflict in Mogadishu has steadily escalated since the Ethiopian-backed puppet Government (TFG) established itself in Mogadishu in January 2007. Since January 2007, the resistence(maqaawamo) has waged almost daily attacks on Ethiopian and puppet government forces, including several suicide attacks. In response, Ethiopian forces launched two major offensives on large areas of Mogadishu in March and April in 2007. Ethiopian troops indiscriminately bombarded resistence(maqaawamo) strongholds with barrages of "Katyusha" rockets, mortars and artillery, making no apparent effort to distinguish between civilians targets. While the precise number of civilian casualties is not yet known, estimates range more than 6,000 deaths resulting since fighting began According to United Nations officials, the humanitarian crisis in Somalia is more than a million Somalis fled their homes. The war will also weaken Ethiopia, which is more than a third Muslim and home to many peoples that oppose the dictatorial regime in Addis Ababa. If the leaders of the United States were searching for a plan that would kill hundreds of thousands of Africans, they have found it. According to Human Rights Watch "Tigray troops are destroying villages and property, confiscating livestock and forcing civilians to relocate to urban centers, in an apparent attempt to separate the civilian population from the ONLF rebels operating in remote rural areas. Villagers are threatened if they refuse to relocate." The Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia (ARS) was formed last year (2007) in the Eritrean capital Asmara, declaring to force Ethiopia out of Somalia. As ARS considered, the Tigray troops which occupied the country illegally should be forced to withdraw the country as soon as possible. It is the right of the Somali people to have the independence to decide its own destiny without outside intervention. The international community must support the Somali people in their looking for a genuine political reconciliation which cannot take place until the Tigray forces leave the country which will crate a safe, suitable and neutral environment. The alliance believes that the Somali solution to be in negotiation and political discussion. The solution of the Somali people is in the application of the Islamic Sharia and it is good custom. The International community must bear in its responsibility in implementing resolutions passed by the Security Council particularly resolutions regarding Somali affairs and to advocate Charter of the United Nations in relation to the independence, unity and sovereignty of Somalia. The alliance strongly believes that the Somali people have the right to liberate their country from the Tigrayn occupation as set in the United Nations Charter. In conclusion, the United States-backed Ethiopia renewed occupation in Somalia is not unavoidable, and can only be explained on the basis of external interest engaged in zero sum politics. it was created by series of policy choices, carefully skilled and controlled by Meles Zenawi, with financial and diplomatic cover of the United States, and United Nations Security Council and to a less significant level European Union; and carried out and legitimized by the puppet government to achieve multiple objectives of those who invested in it: For Zenawi it is the survival of his regime and access to the see Somali ports(use as necessary for him); for the United States it is the war on terrorism. Thus, Somali people have no chance in this military occupation, which tries to fit former warlords through Ethiopian military, which means Ethiopian military will stay as long as warlords are in power, because the warlords are politically broke, and will not be able to endure without Zenawi’s protection for them and the Ethiopian occupation of Somali soil.

Much talk has been made in regards to how the west, the near east, and others are looking towards extending a helping hand to Africa’s economic development. Much fanfare has also been observed in regards to business delegations and foreign companies opening up shop in Africa, declaring a new era of partnership with Africa. All these developments, however, continue to only trickle down to the grassroots, bringing little change to the standard of living of ordinary Africans. Today, more and more pundits point to the lack of political freedoms as one of the root causes of economic marginalization. For many investors in other parts of the world, mentioning Africa evokes images of civil unrest, war, poverty, disease, and mounting social problems, which understandably do not entice investor confidence. True, promoting peace, economic prosperity and sustainable development for Africa’s people is an uphill battle, and requires a tremendous amount of political will to make changes. But these changes sooner rather than later must be initiated. One cringes upon seeing the spectacle of government reps who go abroad and walk on tightropes to woo investors, trumpeting investment potentials, progress in political spheres, and the prevailing resources and infrastructures available for investment use. Africans have time and time again been told by their peers from the rest of the world that the main impetus for improving political, social and economic conditions must come from Africans themselves, and that the international community can only help in facilitating the changes rather than play the role of the protagonist. At this point, one has to examine how well African institutions are prepared to face the task of building democratic structures and garnering the necessary clout to actually implement their set mandates. Perusing the US State Department’s 2007 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, one sees that the state of human rights within the continent continues to deteriorate and in some cases remains in limbo. Despite the US’s own record in regards to human rights in recent years, one cannot discount the contributions of the report in regards to discussion of human rights. Building democracy in Africa cannot progress unless there is genuine commitment in regards to the respect of human rights, engendering political inclusion and creating equity in resource use. Promises for a brighter future in the horizon lose their luster when backed only by rhetoric – action must be taken. First of all, African nations need to identify where the flaws are in regards to building democracy – do they fall under policies and laws, or are they the product of a lack of capacity for implementation? We have heard a lot in regards to the African Peer Review Mechanism, under which leaders would pat the backs of their colleagues on the good work they have achieved in good governance, only to snicker when that nation falls out of favor over its slow progress or regression towards totalitarianism. One is not arguing that we should completely scrap the APRM, but rather widen the role of different stakeholders by giving more clout to more non-state actors such as civil society groups, the private sector and others. Governance is not an issue to be implemented by the palace or the state house alone, but should be seen as a sum of the efforts of the entire society, and any appraisal of a government should involve a diverse panel. Priorities also need to be made to create an impartial justice system that is transparent and free from influence. The role of African high courts and supreme courts should move away from strengthening incumbents and move towards impartiality – this also should apply to other organs of governments. Constitutions have been put in place so that every individual, despite his or her political views, is accorded equal rights. It is vital that state organs be neutral in their activities and allow room for pluralism within the continent to flourish. Signing human rights conventions and ratifying them alone do not guarantee that a nation respects those rights – it can be proven only when citizens are accorded those rights in practice rather than in rhetoric.

Hargeisa (The Rep) – The 3 political parties, the political organization of QARAN, NEC, politicians, Traditional leaders, poets and intellectuals and other guests took part in the first panel to hold a free and fair election. Participants exchanged views and criticism and presented their views on what the panel and the elections should be. Chairman of KULMIYE, Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo stressed that the panel should have a fixed agenda so that the aim of the panel is not diverted. He said; “There is a great doubt and suspicion among the people that elections will be held. People are afraid that the elections might be postponed, if free and fair elections held on schedule everything that we take pride in democracy will be a failure.” Speaking about last election, he said; “We have complaints but we have accepted the results. Voter registration is constitutional and if not completed in time I propose that elections be held and not be postponed.” On the issue of the political organization of QARAN, he said that the issue should have been solved by the constitutional court and warned that what have been so far achieved by the country should be preserved. He added that he is elected chairman of his party and that he will stand for the election and that members will decide whom they will elect but I warn and request nonmembers to stop giving their views and advice on how to run our party. Dr. Mohamed Abdi Gaboose, chairman of QARAN political organization, said; “I believe that the forthcoming election cannot be fair and free. It will be a reflection of what QARAN is, we have been denied our basic rights for electing and being elected. We of QARAN and those who have similar views on political orgniazations are denied these rights. As such, we believe that a free and fair election cannot be held.” Dr. Gaboose, added; “Somaliland has a good reputation in the international community but our rights should be respected.” Criticizing NEC, he said; “They have not taken the right oath as their predecessors (Shukri Bandare) if the opposition accept such an oath as well as the list presented by the governors how can Silanyo expect to have a free and fair election held.” Omar Jama, from the ruling UDUB party, said; “As ruling party, we have patience. The opposition has the right to present their views but they should not instigate the people. The NEC nomination is legal and so far the country has three parties and will have them until existing laws are changed or replaced. It is their duty and obligation of NEC to nominate representatives in the regions and districts. Any steps taken by NEC to forfeit that will be a disgrace to them.” On public media, he said; “We hear criticism that the ruling party is using the public media as an instrument for its campaign and that the opposition is being denied that. I assure you that the opposition will have equal time during election campaigns, but at the present the government is using the media for national duties. We support to have a free and fair election. This depends on the NEC and not the government.” Hassan Suldan Abdullahi, from the opposition Justice and welfare party said that the people of Somaliland have been looking for a good government since 1960. My party believes that NEC will be responsible for having a free and fair election. We will cooperate and help solve any problems and obstacles. Only two districts (Salaxley and Baligubadle) have so far a list will no complaints.” Addressing the NEC he said; “I implore you to hold free and fair elections by solving any errors and discrepancies. My party has no doubt that governance will intervene but if voter registration is properly done it will stop any ringing. NEC should look into the complaints of the opposition and not give ear to the government’s complaints only.” Mr. Hassan Suldan urged the government and its ministries to do their national duties and stop interference in the election for they have failed to provide good service to the people. Deputy chairman of NEC, Mr. Hirsi Haji Ali Hassan said; “Contrary to Dr. Gaboose claim we have taken the right oath as enshrined in the constitution. I don’t know where the idea of a second oath needed by Gaboose for its unti sharia law. We have already taken oath that we will be neutral to all stakeholders but if Gaboose needs it he can come and have the second oath.” Speaking about the complaints by the opposition on the list announced, he said; “NEC is ready to look into the matter and correct any errors if there are any.” On the political organization of QARAN, he said; “It doesn’t concern us for we are not the institution that legalizes them. Our condition today differs from the last NEC. During the last election, everybody believed that elections will bring recognition that was not realized. Today, we are speaking about whether elections will be held or not. There’s a lot of suspicion but we assure you and guarantee that we will be holding a free and fair election and need the support of all those who believe in that.” Jamhuuriya Online
