IGAD signs cross- border trade policy

0
0

The Intergovernmental Authority on Development has adopted a regional policy framework on a cross-border trade that promises to be a lifeline for the region’s small-scale traders.
Trade ministers from Djibouti, South Sudan, Sudan, Uganda, Somalia and Kenya and a representative from Ethiopia meeting in Mombasa last Thursday signed a policy document seeking to strengthen border security systems, support trade facilitation at border crossings and promote participation of border and communities in policymaking.
The Informal Cross-Border Security Governance policy tackles issues related to food security, employment, peace and security in the region’s borderlands.
Kenya’s Trade Cabinet Secretary Adan Mohamed said the initiative is expected to sensitise on cross-border trade among member states.
“The beneficiaries are likely to be women and youth, and we are happy that today we have a framework that will recognise the socioeconomic contribution of informal cross-border trade within member states,” Mr. Mohamed said. “It will also help us understand the linkages between cross-border informal trade and cross-border security,” he added.
The policy document will be presented to the Igad Heads of State for onward transmission to the African Union.
Mr. Mohamed said that improving cross-border trade is one step towards the Continental Free Trade Area that the Heads of State signed in Kigali in March.
Uganda’s Trade Minister Amelia Kyambadde said the policy will regulate the informal trade within Igad countries and provide an opportunity to grow the informal sector.
“This policy will have an impact because every country’s economy is driven by 15 percent informal trade. So far there is no data available to quantify cross-border trade, meaning elicit goods are finding their way into the countries. The newly implemented policy is expected to formalise trade across borders and bring on board all member states from East Africa and the Horn of Africa. We were working only around East Africa but now we are also bringing on board members from the Horn of Africa and this will stimulate infrastructure development in future,” said Ms. Kyambadde.
Mr. Mohamed added that Igad is prepared to take up its role as the lead coordinator in charge of implementation the policy framework.
“We are looking forward to the opportunities for important improvements in the lives and livelihoods for the beneficiary communities in our region that will be created by the policy framework,” he said.
Ms. Kyambadde said the policy document will regulate the informal trade within Igad and also provide an opportunity to grow the informal sector.

Nine arrested in attack on Ethiopian PM rally; 165 injured

At least one person was killed and 165 injured when an explosion rocked a rally in Meskel Square in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, as Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed completed his address.
“Building an independent nation is not the same as building a free society. What good is a free country, if we don’t enjoy freedom? If we are not free from fear?” Abiy asked, just moments before the blast.
Authorities in Ethiopia say they are treating the incident as an assassination attempt, and have arrested nine people in connection with it, according to the Addis Standard. Among them is Girma Kassa, the deputy police commissioner for the city, who was fired earlier in the day.
Abiy later visited attack victims in the hospital, praising their courage and saying they represent the true spirit of love, forgiveness and togetherness that were major themes of his speech. There were 54 people admitted for treatment, nine of them in critical condition, according to the Ethiopian health minister. Some estimates put the unconfirmed death toll at four.
The attack was swiftly condemned by the African Union, which is headquartered in Addis Ababa.
“The Chairperson of the Commission of the African Union, Moussa Faki Mahamat, has learned with shock and dismay of the attack that took place today during a peaceful rally in Addis Ababa in support of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s reform agenda,” the AU statement said. “He strongly condemns this cowardly attack against civilians at a peaceful rally under the banner of peace and reconciliation.”
African leaders including President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya and President Mohamed Farmaajo of Somalia, also expressed their condolences.

Shabaab ‘brides’ speak for the first time since arrest three years ago

Two women accused of being members of Al-Shabaab have told a Mombasa court how they ended up in police cells before being charged with terrorism.
Ummulkheir Sadri Abdalla said she left Tanzania to seek internship at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) after breaking for a four-month vacation.
She said that at the time of arrest, she was a third year student of medicine at the International University of Africa in Sudan but was in Kenya for a brief internship programme.
She said she left the university aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight and landed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on March 23, 2015.
“Upon landing at the JKIA, I was taken to the Immigration department for clearance. I then boarded a taxi to River Road where I spent the night in a lodge,” she said.
Ms Abdalla, Ms Khadija Abubakar Abdulkadir and Ms Halima Adan have denied organising a meeting in Nairobi to plan on how to cross into Somalia to join the Shabaab militants and conspiracy with their accomplices abroad to carry out terrorist acts in the country.
They have also denied 20 terror-related charges including being in possession of videos and pictures of former and current Al-Qaeda leaders Osama Bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri who were known for organising and committing terror activities.
The prosecution said the suspects committed the offence in El-Wak, on the Kenya-Somalia boarder.
In her unsworn testimony, Ms Abdalla said she had in her possession an advanced Sumsang mobile phone, a laptop, passport, student ID and university documents which she was going to present to the hospital for the internship consideration.
She said after arriving at the lodge, she stayed indoors and left for KNH the following day.
“When I want back to KNH, I waited for the chief executive officer for hours but she didn’t come. I was told to come back the following day so I decided to return to my residence,” she said.
The suspect told the court that as she prepared to board a vehicle back to her hotel, she was approached by people in plain clothes who later identified themselves as police officers.
“They demanded that I produce my identification documents while threatening me. I was reluctant to produce what they had demanded since I didn’t know them, I was cautious because I knew Nairobi was full of gangsters,” she said.
Ms Abdalla said as she was still thinking of what to do, she was arrested and bundled into a vehicle and when she inquired reason for her arrest, she was told that she would be informed later.
She said the vehicle was driven off at high speed and since she was not familiar with Nairobi, she couldn’t tell where she was being taken.
“It was a long ride. I [later] found myself in a police cell. I was told that I was planning to join terror groups. It was then that I was grilled and informed that I will be charged with being a terrorist,” she told the court.
Another suspect, Ms Abubakar, said she was picked from her hostel in Thika Town by officers from the Anti-Terror Police Unit and driven to Mombasa where she was later charged with being a member of a terror group.
She said she had a loud bang at her door at 10 pm in the night that was followed by threats of breaking in should she hesitate to open the door.
“When I opened the door, I saw people armed with guns. They identified themselves as police officers. I was told I am under arrest but would be informed the reason later,” she said.
The suspect who hails from Malindi in Kilifi County said at the time of arrest, she was studying pharmacy at Mount Kenya University’s Thika campus. She had been there for two years.
Ms Abubakar said detectives took all her belongings including her phone, laptop, student and national ID, bank slips and other school documents.
“They covered my face so I couldn’t figure out where I was. I can only remember being driven for a long time. When they finally took off the hood from my face, I realised I was at a police station in Mombasa. I was forced to sign an inventory that they had prepared,” she told Chief Magistrate Evans Makori.
She said the detectives demanded to know the whereabouts of her farther and threatened her with unspecified punishment should she refuse to comply.
“They ordered me to reveal where my father was and warned that I would suffer on his behalf if I declined to answer them,” she said, adding that while in police custody, she was not allowed to communicate with anyone including her parents.
She said she cannot continue with her education since her name has been struck off the university’s student portal because of the terror case against her.
The suspects asked the court to set them free, saying they are suffering and yet none of the eight witnesses have linked them to the charges against them.
They have also told the court that some of the items listed in the inventory were not recovered from them.
The suspects, through their lawyers Hamisi Mwadzogo and Chacha Mwita, have also asked the court to conclude their cases soon enough so that, even if they are will be jailed, they will have opportunity to spend some of their hey days with their families at home after serving their sentences.
Ms Adan did not give her evidence as she said she was not mentally stable to defend herself following her arrest and detention shortly after the court ruled that they had a case to answer.
The case comes up for defence hearing on July 2, 2018.

Turkey election: Erdogan claims victory with unofficial results

0
0

Sunday June 24, 2018Turkey's long-standing leader Recep
Tayyip Erdogan says unofficial results from the presidential elections
show he has won outright in the first round.Mr Erdogan has 53%, while his closest rival, Muharrem Ince, is on 31%, state media report, with most votes counted.Ads By Google But the opposition dispute these figures, saying many votes have yet to be counted.Mr Erdogan also said the governing alliance of his AK Party had secured a majority in parliament.With 96% of the votes for parliament counted, the president's AK
Party leads with 43% of the votes, the state news agency Anadolu
reports. The main opposition CHP is on 23%.Crucially, the
pro-Kurdish HDP looks set to reach the 10% threshold and enter
parliament. This might have made it harder for Mr Erdogan's party and
its ally the MHP to reach a majority, although currently they are on
course to do so.Voter turnout is high, at almost 87%, the state broadcaster says.As the BBC's Mark Lowen points out, the opposition is disputing the agency's reports of how many ballot boxes have been opened:Turkey remains under a state of emergency imposed in the aftermath of a failed coup in July 2016. Who is standing for president?These elections were originally scheduled for November 2019 but were brought forward by Mr Erdogan.He is seeking a second term as president, and would govern under a new constitution which grants the president new powers.Mr Erdogan was prime minister for 11 years before becoming president in 2014.Should he win, Mr Ince has promised to push back what he characterised as a slide into authoritarian rule under Mr Erdogan.But his opponent accused the former physics teacher of not having the skills to lead.round 60 million Turks were eligible to take part in Sunday's dual polls.In all, there were six candidates on the presidential ballot. If no one candidate crosses the 50% threshold in an outright win, the top two will face off in a second-round vote on 8 July.

Is the vote likely to be fair?Security
was tight at polling stations. Ahead of the vote, concerns were raised
about potential voter intimidation and electoral fraud.Turkey's
election commission has already said it will investigate alleged
irregularities in Urfa province, on the southern border with Syria.Mr Ince said he would be spending the night at the electoral commission's headquarters in Ankara to ensure a fair count.In
a tweet, he asked election observers not to leave the ballot boxes. Mr
Ince said the commission's system reports 37% of boxes have been opened,
whereas Anadolu says 85% of votes have been counted.Rights activists also say the press is not free to report on all sides.Under Mr Erdogan's rule, the country has become the world's biggest jailer of journalists, according to monitoring groups.What effect will the new constitution have?While the other candidates have rejected the changes, endorsed in a tight referendum last year by 51% of voters, Mr Erdogan would start his second term in a turbo-charged version of the job. The
job of prime minister would be scrapped and the president would gain
new powers, including the ability to directly appoint senior officials.What have been the main election issues?The biggest is the economy. The Turkish lira has tanked and inflation stands at around 11%. Terrorism is another vexed issue, as Turkey faces attacks from Kurdish militants and the jihadists of the Islamic State group. However, correspondents say the country tends to vote along its big
divides: one between Kurds and nationalists, and another between
religious and secular people.

Sunday June 24, 2018President Erdoğan declares election victory. "According to unofficial results, our nation has given us the duty of presidency and the head of executive branch, while giving a majority to our People's Alliance, which is a great responsibility," he said.

According to the new rules, only the alliance needs to pass the much-criticized 10-percent threshold in order for the parties to claim seats.While the “People’s Alliance” promises “stability” to the voters, the “Nation Alliance” pledges “change.”On Election Day, media organizations will not be allowed to broadcast any political advertising, predictions or comments about the elections until 6 p.m. Between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m., media outlets will only be able to publish official announcements about the elections issued by the Supreme Elections Council (YSK).Alcoholic beverages will not be sold from 6 a.m. to midnight, while consumption of alcoholic beverages will also be prohibited in public places.
