Officials Criticize U.N. Report on Somalia

 

By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN

Published: March 16, 2010

 

NAIROBI, Kenya — Somalia’s president, Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, blasted on Tuesday a recent United Nations report that characterized the government’s security forces as ineffective and corrupt and said that half of the food aid to the country was routinely stolen. The president said that much of the information in the report “was not trustful” and “based on people on the street, not reality.”

 

His comments added to a growing chorus of criticism surrounding this report, mainly from the parties that have been accused of wrongdoing, including Somali politicians and businessmen and the United Nations World Food Program.

 

The report, by the Security Council’s Monitoring Group on Somalia, made a number of stinging allegations: that officials in Somalia — one of the most violent and needy countries in the world — were collaborating with pirates; that the Somali security forces were “ineffective, disorganized and corrupt”; that United Nations contractors were helping insurgents; and that the food aid was stolen.

 

Several independent experts on the country said that while the report may have had some minor faults, it captured the larger picture accurately.

 

“There is broad consensus among Somali watchers that the overall findings of this report are right, though in a report of that size of course there are going to be a couple mistakes,” said Ken Menkhaus, a professor at Davidson College . Rashid Abdi, an analyst at the International Crisis Group, called the report “a very solid piece of work,” adding that most of the allegations were “nothing new, but things we have been hearing for some time.”

 

Somalia can be a difficult place to find the truth.

 

Nearly 20 years of unabated chaos have eviscerated all national institutions, and the current conflict between a weak transitional government and militant Islamists has left most of the country a no-go zone to outsiders. It has grown so dangerous that the United Nations has been forced to rely largely on Somali contractors and local aid organizations rather than expatriate staff to monitor the enormous aid operation.

 

Some of the fiercest criticism of the report has come from United Nations officials defending the World Food Program, which is the biggest aid agency in Somalia and a lifeline to millions of Somalis.

 

One United Nations official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said that the report overstated the amount of money the World Food Program pays to Somali transport contractors, and that it exaggerated the percentage of the transport budget that went to three businessmen in particular.

 

The United Nations official also argued that there was “no evidence” that one of the contractors had staged a hijacking of his own food trucks in 2008, as the report said, and that the contractor nevertheless had paid back all the food that disappeared that day.

 

The official went on to criticize several other aspects of the report, and said that a bonding system put in practice in 1997 — under which Somali contractors are required to guarantee to replace or pay for any missing food — had drastically reduced the amount of food aid that was pilfered.

 

The report was commissioned by the Security Council as part of an effort to monitor an arms embargo on Somalia and other issues related to peace and security.

 

In 2006, the same monitoring group said that hundreds of Somali jihadists traveled to Lebanon to fight alongside Hezbollah, a claim that was widely dismissed as fiction.

 

However, the investigators behind that report were dismissed, and Mr. Menkhaus and Mr. Abdi, among others, said that Matt Bryden, the current coordinator of the group, had spent many years in Somalia and was a seasoned Somali hand.

 

Mr. Bryden defended the report this week in a series of emails. He said that some of the material provided to the group about the theft of food supplies “involves inconsistencies” and that his team “received different answers at different times” from the parties involved.

 

He also dismissed the complaints from officials with the World Food Program, also known as the W.F.P. “The figures we have used in the report concerning the value of contracts and the percentage awarded to the three named contractors were provided to the Monitoring Group by W.F.P. officials. W.F.P. would therefore appear to be contradicting itself.”

 

Earlier this week, Somali officials from Puntland, a pirate-infested swath of northern Somalia, denied the allegations that they were collaborating with pirates and called the report ``a feeble attempt to defame” the Puntland president.
