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.

The U.S. government needs to change its Somalia policy -- and fast. For the better part of two decades, instability and violence have confounded U.S. and international efforts to bring peace to Somali
For 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
By 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.
Failure 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.


(Reuters) - A draft U.N. Security Council resolution calls for an arms embargo against Eritrea and travel bans and asset freezes for members of its government and military for aiding Islamist insurgents in Somalia.The resolution, obtained by Reuters on Thursday, was drafted by temporary Security Council member Uganda and has been circulated to other members of the 15-nation panel, U.N. diplomats said.
The 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.
