Somalia: Donors Should Address Accountability | Human Rights Watch

                    # Fire the police commissioner: TFG Police Commissioner Abdi Qeybdid has been implicated in war crimes and serious human rights abuses, both during and prior to his tenure as commissioner. Under his stewardship, police abuses have been rampant, with no effort to halt abuses or bring those responsible to justice. Removing Qeybdid from his post is a necessary step to demonstrate the TFG's professed commitment to more accountability in the police force.

Somali Intellectuals Demand of Sheikh Sharif to Resign Now and Avoid Terrible Punishment

http://img.webring.com/r/a/afroarticlesarti/logoThe presence of the gullible and inexperienced Sheikh Sharif as TFG president does not reflect the wishes and the interests of any Somali.The only exception in the aforementioned rule is made by the few Somali warlords and Mafia leaders who used to be bribed by the racist Neo-Nazi Amhara Abyssinians and act according to foreign Anti-Somali interests.Apart from them, not a single Somali supports the pseudo-sheikh who calmly and unrepentantly plunges the entire Somali Nation into unprecedented discord, extreme misery, and unconditional capitulation to the Illustrious African Muslim Nation’s most barbaric, most racist, and most iniquitous enemies.The devastation triggered by the person, who shamefully presented himself as saviour in Asmara in order to be proven as destroyer in Mogadishu, is immense.The previous fake president of Somalia, Abdillahi Yousef, was not a sheikh, did not involve the religion of Islam into politics, and did not have the posture of the grand redeemer. He promised very little and delivered nothing; unfortunately, for the entire Somali Nation, there was worse.

American Chronicle | Uganda Diminishing the Stature of United Nations Security Council

http://www.waybasics.com/asseenon/images/american-chronicle.jpgFor century´s, African leaders have done tremendous harm to Africans equal to that of the European colonizers by selling Africans to Western slave masters and by allowing foreigners to exploit Africa for their selfish interests. The exploitation of Africa using African leaders is pervasive. African resources are exploited by the West and other powers using African leaders who work for the interest foreign powers. These include leaders such as Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, Mwai Kibaki of Kenya and the notorious Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia amongst others.

“Dictatorship was never part of the indigenous African political tradition…nobody declared himself ‘chief for life’ and his village to be a one party state in indigenous Africa”“Whilst developing countries have to check corruption, we are also entitled to demand the developed world does not thrust corruption upon us.”“Sitting in Government are sophisticated thieves.”“I know the door through which I came into politics and I know the door I should use to go out of politics. I thought I was Robert Mugabe and not Julius Nyerere. I do things my own way, the Robert Mugabe way

UN, AU, US, UK, EU, IGAD: Responsible for Somalia’s Dire Humanitarian Situation

http://www.celtnet.org.uk/images/somalia-flag.gifBy imposing their unacceptable and unrepresentative puppet Sheikh Sharif on the Somalis, by provoking the heroic Somali resistance against the barbaric AMISOM soldiers, and by forcing the impotent clown Sheikh Sharif to defend his absolutely illegal position, the global community bears full responsibility for Genocide against the Somali Nation.The international community, by waging a direct war against the existence of the Somali Nation, demonstrates the striking absence of Law, Justice and Morality in the sphere of international politics.This undeniable reality will trigger thunderous reactions of unprecedented dimensions because in and by itself, it justifies every reaction – involving all possible existing means – from the part of any individual. While I will expand on the consequences of the criminal act currently perpetrated in Eastern Africa by the UN, AU, EU, US, UK and the Neo-Nazi bogus-institution IGAD in further editorials, in this article I republish several recent IRIN reports that bear witness to the prevailing dire humanitarian situation in Central and Southern Somalia.

http://www.somalimirror.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/xasuuqa-amisom2.jpgFailure by African Union officials to account for millions of dollars for Somalia operations has dried up payments for the 4,500 peace-keeping troops after upset donors abruptly halted disbursements.A top diplomat says this could affect the morale of the soldiers to tackle threats from radical Al Shabab militants bidding to topple Sheik Sharif’s beleaguered Federal Transitional Government.

Somalia: UN expert urges end to inhuman practices after recent stonings

http://www.mzv.cz/public/f7/d9/1c/178229_14912_logoUN.jpg27 November 2009 – An independent United Nations human rights expert today condemned the series of stonings that have been taking place in Somalia, and called for an urgent end to such “cruel, inhuman and degrading” practices.Shamsul Bari said the public stonings, floggings and summary executions carried out by Islamist armed groups in central and southern Somalia highlight the “deteriorating” human rights situation in the strife-torn nation, where Government forces have been battling Al Shabaab and Hisb-ul-Islam opposition groups for many months.

American Chronicle | Why Ethiopia must be sanctioned for violations of the Somalia Arms Embargo.

http://www.markhoustonrecovery.com/images/upload/why.jpgThe Somalia Arms Embargo was put in place to safeguard the lives of innocent civilians and control the arms flow in Somalia. Unfortunately, despite the embargo, individuals and groups in neighboring states funneled arms into Somalia in support of the various warlords allied with them. The minority regime in Ethiopia remains the main arms embargo violator in the region.

American Chronicle | Somalia Needs Honest Government

 The Somali people are once again learning the crucial lessons of nationhood the hardest way. One such cardinal lesson is never to leave matters of your society to others alone or lightly but to engage. The only way people can protect what belongs to them, enhance collective wellbeing and further their common interests is to engage in the affairs of their nation.It was our promise to support the Transitional Government when it is doing something right and speak up when it is doing wrong. Because of its bumbling we visit again the issue of the transfer of swathes of Somalia´s sea shelf to our neighbour.
