Saturday July 14, 2018Last week Human Rights Watch released “We are Like the Dead,” a report documenting torture, rape, and other serious human rights abuses in Ethiopia’s notorious Jail Ogaden in the Somali Region. Among the officials most responsible for those abuses is Somali Region President Abdi Mohamoud Omar, commonly known as “Abdi Illey.” The abusive Liyu police, implicated in many serious rights violations in the Somali Region and increasingly in the neighboring Oromia region, report directly to him.In response to the report, Abdi Illey released many prisoners from Jail Ogaden and announced the prison will be closed and converted into a mosque. There was also reportedly a request from the federal government for him to resign.But Abdi Illey doesn’t appear to be going quietly. On July 11, he made bold speeches in Somali regional parliament and state television, blaming the former head of Ethiopian intelligence Getachew Assefa for directing abuses. He also threw his support behind Prime Minister Dr. Abiy and his reform agenda and asked for forgiveness.It’s a shocking 180 degree turn from a man whose position had been so secure in the past, despite many allegations of abuses, allegedly because of his close links with Ethiopian federal intelligence and security.Ads By Google Since the report launch, we have received messages from dozens of Ethiopian Somali victims or family members of victims who stress that this is not enough. They want justice. They rightly argue that Abdi lley cannot whitewash his role in a decade of serious crimes in the Somali region by striking a political deal to avoid justice. Accountability matters: it sends a message to abusers, - past, present, and future - that there is a price to be paid for their crimes. As one 42-year-old former prisoner told me: “We cannot forgive him for what he and his [Liyu] police have done to our people. He has destroyed a generation. His police killed my brother, my mother died in jail, and my other brother has disappeared. My family is gone…We will never forgive him. He must face justice for what he has done.”Abiy’s many announced reforms have captured the imagination of a nation. Noticeably lacking in his many speeches so far is a commitment to accountability, to ensure those who have committed serious crimes in Ethiopia will be held to account. Whether, and how, Abdi Illey and others in Somali region face investigations for the many abuses in Jail Ogaden will be a litmus test of Abiy’s commitment to justice and to reigning in abusive security forces. This is important for victims and their families, but also to send an important message to security forces that abuse will no longer be tolerated.

Saturday July 14, 2018Somali security forces have shot dead three extremists and foiled an attempted al-Shabab attack on the presidential palace in the capital, a police officer says.Six people were dead in all including a suicide car bomber, Captain Mohamed Hussein told The Associated Press, saying the situation had calmed and security in the area was being tightened after Saturday's attack.The midday attack began when a car bomb detonated near a checkpoint close to the presidential palace after security forces engaged with gunmen. A second car bomb exploded in the same area shortly afterward, Hussein said.Ads By Google The attack came a week after a similar one on the interior ministry compound in Mogadishu killed at least nine people.The Somalia-based al-Shabab extremist group, an arm of al-Qaeda, often targets high-profile places in the capital. It claimed responsibility for Saturday's attack, saying its fighters were conducting a "major operation" around the palace and nearby SYL Hotel.Al-Shabab was blamed for the October truck bombing in Mogadishu that killed more than 500 people in the deadliest attack in the country's history.The threat from what has become the deadliest Islamic extremist group in sub-Saharan Africa has hurt efforts to strengthen Somalia's fragile government and stabilise the long-chaotic Horn of Africa nation.The United States under the Trump administration has stepped up military efforts in Somalia, including dozens of drone strikes, against al-Shabab and a small presence of fighters linked to the Islamic State group. At least two US military personnel have been killed.

Saturday July 14, 2018Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki pledged to resolve his country's dispute with Ethiopia on Saturday in a historic visit to Addis Ababa aimed at cementing peace less than a week after the nations declared an end to their two decades of conflict.Isaias arrived in the Ethiopian capital just five days after Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed visited Eritrea as part of a dizzying peace process aimed at ending years of violence and animosity between the neighbours who were once part of the same nation.Abiy and Isaias shared laughs and hugs at an official lunch on Saturday as the Ethiopian leader said his counterpart was "beloved, respected and missed by the Ethiopian people.""We are no longer people of two countries. We are one," Isaias told political and cultural elites gathered in a palace built during Ethiopia's imperial days. "We'll go forward together."Isaias started his three-day visit at Addis Ababa's airport, where he and Abiy strode down a red carpet as a brass band played and traditional dancers cheered.The leaders then drove into the city on a road lined with thousands of people dressed in white shawls and waving palm fronds as Ethiopian and Eritrean flags flew side-by-side from lampposts.There were also banners and pictures of the two leaders who on Monday signed a declaration declaring an official end to the war."Welcome home President Isaias!!" Abiy's chief of staff Fitsum Arega wrote on Twitter as the Eritrean leader arrived.Eritrea was once part of Ethiopia and comprised its entire coastline on the Red Sea until it voted for independence in 1993 after decades of bloody conflict.The move left Ethiopia landlocked, and the deterioration of relations after the outbreak of the war in 1998 forced Addis Ababa to channel its sea trade through Djibouti.The two countries have shown little signs of rapprochement since the signing of the Algiers peace agreement in 2000 after a conflict which left 80,000 people dead before settling into a bitter cold war.- Whirlwind reforms -Analysts say the surprisingly rapid burying of the hatchet was possible only because of Abiy's ascension to the post of prime minister in April.As part of a whirlwind set of reforms, Abiy announced last month that Ethiopia would abide by a 2002 UN-backed ruling and hand back disputed border territory to Eritrea, including the flashpoint town of Badme.However Ethiopia has not announced the pull-out of troops from the area.Abiy then paid a historic visit to Eritrea, where the two leaders announced the re-establishment of diplomatic and trade ties that could mean big benefits for both nations, and the wider Horn of Africa region, plagued by conflict and poverty.The emotional reunion between the two countries has allowed residents to speak to each other by telephone for the first time in two decades as communication lines were re-opened.Direct flights are due to start next week."Can one find appropriate words to describe the intensity of popular emotions that has gripped both countries; the depth and significance of the promising changes underway in the region!" Eritrean Information Minister Yemane Gebremeskel said on Twitter after Isaias arrived.Ethiopia's state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate said Isaias would stay three days during which the Eritrean embassy would be reopened and his delegation would visit an industrial park.A state dinner in his honour will be held on Sunday.- Catalyst for change -Eritrea and Ethiopia are both among Africa's poorest nations.However, Ethiopia has seen double-digit growth in recent years and is seeking wider options for importing and exporting its goods by eyeing ports in Somalia and Eritrea.Meanwhile Eritrea, one of the world's most isolated nations, has pursued policies that have hamstrung the economy by scaring off investors, including an indefinite military conscription programme the UN has likened to slavery.Amnesty International said Saturday that the newfound peace should be a catalyst for change in Eritrea, where thousands of people, including rights activists and opposition politicians are "languishing in detention simply for expressing their views.""The end of hostilities with Ethiopia is a joyous moment for Eritreans, but it must be followed by tangible reforms that make a real difference in the daily lives of the people and put an end to decades of repression in the country," said Seif Magango, AI's deputy director for the region.In a statement he said Eritrea was the biggest jailer of journalists on the continent, and that its last independent media house was shut down 17 years ago.Amnesty also called for an end to forced military conscription, seen as a key driver of the departure of hundreds of thousands of Eritreans from their country.

At least 8 people were killed, and a dozen wounded in twin blasts in Mogadishu on Saturday, security and medical sources said.
The attack began with a huge explosion resulted from a car packed with explosives detonated near the gates of Villa Somalia, the state house and followed by gunfire.
Security forces killed three attackers during the confrontation, according to sources.
The second car bombing was reported in the same vicinity as the troops battle attackers attempting to penetrate the presidential palace in Mogadishu, said a police officer.
Among the dead include, four attackers reported died in the attack, including two shot dead by the Somali security forces.
More than 10 people also wounded in the Saturday’s attack, which was the latest blast in Mogadishu in the last past few weeks.

“Our aid will target the most vulnerable and provide life-saving support to those affected by climatic shocks and internal conflict,” Stylianides said.
The Commission noted that the EU has drastically scaled up its humanitarian assistance to Somalia — allocating €119 million (some $135 million) to the country last year alone.

The meeting was held in Columbus Ohio on June 22-24. The meeting was initiated by a group of Somali intellectuals who felt the need to get together and discuss the historical perspectives and the future challenges and opportunities facing the Somali agricultural sector. The people who attended the meeting came from different States of the US, Canada, and Somalia. In the light of the current challenges that exist in Somalia, the meeting participants deliberated the importance of rejuvenating the agricultural sector because agriculture is the back bone of the Somalia economy. The discussion was centered on the past and the present situation of the country’s agriculture.
Ads By Google If the past can teach us a lesson, policies taken by the previous Governments were not based on market incentives and discouraged farmers to produce food crops. Monopoly agency was established which eliminated middle men and fixed the prices of the food crops. Farmers shifted to producing cash crops like water melon and vegetables. The Government finally realized that the monopoly system could not function and abolished the Agency. Another misguided policy was the formation of state-owned farms with low crop yields at the expense of private-owned farms. In view of past failures, the meeting recommended that farmers should be assisted in the supply of improved seeds, land preparation, machinery service, and provisions of farm inputs such as fertilizers, and pesticides and incentive prices for their products. Young graduates from the Universities have to be trained in Extension Services to advice the farmers to adapt modern techniques in farming. The two fruits that can enable the country to get hard currency by their export potential are bananas and grapefruits. Both are competitive fruits in international markets, especially in our traditional market of Italy. Lab analysis showed our grapefruits are juicy, have a good taste, and have the right sugar and acidity content. Rejuvenation of the Janale Multiplication Center is a prerequisite in supplying grafted seedlings to the farmers. It is necessary to import quantities of improved variety grafted seedlings from grapefruit producing countries. The grapefruit export levels reached high in 1989-1991. The grapefruit was exported to Italy.  
The flow of the Shabelle River is becoming very low for a number of reasons. For example, the river deposits high levels of sediment which often accumulates on the beds of the River. At high flow periods, it overflows and floods damage farms and villages. In low rainfall periods, the amount of flow reaching the downstream of the Shabelle River basin is becoming very low. Extensive diversion canals were built for irrigation projects near the Godey area of Ethiopia. Unless equitable water sharing agreement is urgently reached with the Ethiopian Somali Region, downstream river flows are expected to decrease. Such a decrease in downstream flow will have a serious impact on Somalia’s irrigated agriculture. With regard to the Juba River basin, the participants were informed of Ethiopia’s plan to build three medium size dams on the Genale tributary of the upper Juba River basin. One of the dams is expected to be completed in 2018. The meeting highlighted that damming the Juba River without any agreement with Somalia is a serious matter. The participants highlighted the need for Somalia’s role in the water sharing agreements of the Juba River basin.
With regard to climate change, Dr. Warfa explained that climate change is already affecting the country’s weather conditions. Such weather phenomenon results in three months of erratic rainfall followed by three months of drought which results in loss of human and animal life. Dr. Warfa warns that, unless drastic measures are taken by way of banning charcoal export and unless reforestation actions are taken, the country could soon be on the verge of desertification. 
The participants of the meeting expressed their sincere thanks to the Columbus Ohio Somali Community for the utmost hospitality that they offered to us during the meeting.
