Mogadishu(CeelWaaqNew)- When H.E President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo took office, he fully dedicated himself to strengthen democratic institutions such as the polls body, NIEC to take Somalia to a multiparty, 1P1V Elections process. On 21/2/2020, He assented to Amended Elections law after its passing by both houses.
However, after consultations & engagements with Federal Member States, in an inclusive process & forums from Mogadishu to Samareeb, Garowe to Baidoa: Jubaland & Puntland leaders OPPOSED the passed Multiparty, 1P1V Elections process hence creating the need for new elections model.
After extensive talks in different venues, H.E Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo compromised to agree with the FMS leadership to propose a new Elections model. All the 5 FMS and Benadir Leadership developed their elections draft which was later passed by both parliaments & signed by all stakeholders.
Sep 17 2020 elections agreement was being readied for implementation until Jubaland & Buntland Heads of State hindered the entire process. This blocked the implementation of the election process for 6 months. In 2021, Baidoa technical committee was sent to give recommendations.
Whereas, Somaliland, South-West, Hirshabeele and Galmudug nominated State Level Election Implementation Committees for smooth facilitation of the Federal Level elections, Jubaland and Putland became a stumbling block by failing to propose or forward names of their election teams.
H.E Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo exhibited leadership and led by example by sending mediation teams, and emissaries led by Hon. PM Mohamed Husein Roble while also supporting the efforts of other FMS leadership such as H.E Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo to reach out to Jubaland & Puntland Heads of State to find solutions.
Jubaland and Puntland Leadership continued to hold Somalia in Ransom by ignoring Baidoa technical committee recommendations & boycotting several elections Summits called by H.E Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo causing all the efforts to resolve the elections impasse hit a snag without any progress.
Finally, as part of the government’s effort to transition Somalia towards peaceful, inclusive, timely and transparent elections, President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo agreed to engage in the Leadership consultative summit; unfortunately, Jubaland and Puntland Leadership dishonored the Forum.
We thank our beloved citizens for their patience and belief as the govt worked round the clock to provide all necessary support, security and cooperation to take Somalia to elections. We also thank our partners for their unwavering support towards a peaceful & progressive Somalia

Mogadishu(CeelWaaqNew)- Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Federal Republic of Somalia at “Security Council VTC meeting on “The Situation in Somalia”.
Excellencies, Distinguished guests, Ladies, and Gentlemen,
Allow me to begin by congratulating you, Madam President, on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of February and wish you and your delegation success. I also commend the Permanent Representative of the brotherly country of Tunisia for his exemplary leadership at the helm of the Council last month.
I acknowledge the presence of Mr. James Swann, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Somalia and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Somalia (UNSOM), Mr. Francisco Madeira, Special Representative of the African Union Commission Chairperson for Somalia (SRCC), Madame Rita Laranjinha, European Union Managing Director for Africa and thank them for their briefings.
It is a great honour to be addressing the UN Security Council on Somalia’s progress and remaining challenges. The UN Security Council members, alongside the majority of other partner nations within the UN family, continue to play an important role in Somalia’s development alongside our resilient People and Government both bilaterally and multilaterally.
The Somali Government takes note of the report of the Secretary General, H.E. Antonio Guterres, on the situation in Somalia which was presented to the Security Council today. The report captures succinctly the political, security, and socio-economic challenges the Somali nation must overcome in order to continue our path to deepening democracy, development, stability and security for Somalia.
It is important to note, the Somali People will be forever indebted for the support and multifaceted partnerships that continue to contribute to our national progress, especially, as we navigate forward to a better future. A bright and confident future anchored in the undying belief we are the masters of our own destiny.
Political Developments
Madame President,
On the present political impasse on the implementation of the 17 September agreement, context is important. The Federal Government of Somalia has worked consistently in a determined manner to hold a Federal election as stipulated by the provisional constitution. It should be noted soon after the commencement of this administration, work to implement the holding of OPOV began, simply, in order to ensure the widest participation of citizens to choose their leaders for the first time in 50 years.
A practical model for realising this goal was designed and negotiated with the FMS before they and the FGS signed an agreement in 2018. I’m very much aware of this because I led on the negotiations on behalf the Federal government and as a member of the Federal Negotiation technical committee (FNTC) working closely with the FMS.
After this agreement a draft law was formulated by the executive branch based on the agreement and was presented to the federal parliament for legislative scrutiny and voted on before the president accented it in to law in February 2020.
As stipulated both by the political agreement and the subsequent election law, the process was to be led by the National Independent Electoral Commission (NIEC). However, within a short period the FMS leaders reneged on the early agreement on OPOV and instead expressed a preference for a selection model, similar to the one used in 2016, were the leadership of the FGS and FMS in effect choose the members of both houses the Federal Parliament who would then become the electors of the president and speakers.
The selective process has, rightfully, earned the label of an incubator for levels of corruption, irregularities and patronage favoured by elites whose sole interest is to hold the future of Somalia to ransom and maintain patronage for the few.
Despite the moral and political imperative to implement the agreed election model, Somalia’s international partners pressured the government to compromise with the Federal member state, once again, and as a result of a series of consultation with the FMS leadership, held in Dhusamareeb, known as the Dhusamareeb conference I II and III.
A final meeting of the National Consultative Council in Mogadishu reached a political agreement on the new modalities of election on September 17th 2020.
It’s to be noted that the Federal Government, in agreeing to this selected model, has not only compromised on OPOV but it also had agreed to the following as demanded by FMS:
● For each seat the FGS wanted 301 individuals to vote for each respective parliamentary seat but the FMS wanted 101 the FGS agreed. ● The FGS proposed elections should be held in up to four or minimum of three locations in each FMS, in order to seek greater legitimisation of the new parliament, the FMS leaders wanted two locations, the FGS again accepted their wish.
The pen holders of this agreement were the FMS leaders, in particular, the presidents of Jubaland and Puntland and led to the agreement being welcomed, celebrated and endorsed by all prospective presidential candidates, the FMS leaders, International community and by all relevant political actors.
Regrettably after all of this they, the penholders of this agreement continue to refuse to implement the political agreement requesting further concessions after another to address perceived concerns with regards to the Gedo region and the election committees.
This was also accepted by the FGS and a technical committee representing all stakeholders, including ministerial representatives from both Jubaland and Puntland finalised the outstanding issues in Baydhabo on the 16th February.
After two days of discussions the Baidao technical Committee’s announcement an agreement and welcomed by all including the International Community, H.E. President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Famaajo extended an invitation to the Federal Member state leaders to meet at National Consultative Council on February 18th in Mogadishu to conclude the FGS/FMS Technical Committee’s work and fully implement the 17th September agreement, so that the process of elections can begin without any further delays.
Madam President,
Regrettably, the two FMS leaders, who were the pen holders for the 17th September political agreement and have remained a constant obstacle to its finalisation once again refused to attend the meeting, once again choosing to hold to ransom the aspirations of the Somali people for stability in an effort to achieve a transition in an undemocratic manner.
In fact, rather than travel to Mogadishu to attend the planned National Consultative Council’s meeting, the two FMS leaders chose to offer a tacit support to a planned protest by prospective presidential candidates which the FGS accepted provided that it adheres to public health and is held in a peaceful manner as our constitution stipulates.
The Government fully recognizes the right to peacefully demonstrate as a right guaranteed by the Constitution. We are committed to providing the Somali people with the opportunity to express themselves and their demands without undermining public order or destroying public or private property.
However, the prospective presidential candidates not only disregarded the Government’s measures but chose a clear path of illegality and insurrection. They chose to bring forth a militia out on to the streets of Mogadishu and in fact the head of this militia openly stated in public and I quote “there is no government, and we are taking control”.
This is of no surprise because on the night of February 8th, the opposition group leaders declared that there is no government in Somalia, which is not true given parliament passed the election law based on the political agreement which under article 3 clearly states the legislative and executive branches of government have full authority and furthermore, the executive is responsible for managing the election precisely in order to avoid a vacancy of power.
These acts have led to loss of life of members of our security personnel who have taken an oath to protect the Somali nation from enemies both foreign and domestic, and I extend my condolences and the gratitude of the nation to their families and loved ones. – and wish those injured speedy recovery.
The Somali people are tired of war and yenning for stability, security and a government which truly represents their aspirations and key to achieving this is holding a free and fair elections as agreed by all the parties on the 17th of September and finalised by the Baydhabo technical committee no more than a week ago.
Madam President
Denying the truth doesn’t change the facts. And I’m afraid what we have here is an opposition whose only interest, at the behest of external forces, is to create red-herring from the fact that their sole political goal has always been to cause political crisis in order to foment constitutional disorder.
The only way to have a political transition is through election, not threats or outlandish claims of political and social regression to a painful era the Somali people will never accept returning to.
The simple truth is, no amount of undemocratic calls for removal of a sitting president without election, the foreign axis of instability supporting the opposition nor the threat of violence will determine the destiny of the Somali nation.
Somalia’s destiny will be determined by the Somali people who have the confidence, experience and resolve to ensure what lies ahead for Somalia will never be the pain of the past.
Unfortunately, the Somali Federal Government strongly believes there is blatant foreign interfere in the internal political affairs of Somalia from those who claim to be helping to stabilise Somalia to those who offer princely reward in order to intentionally sabotage and prolong the electoral process in the hope of leadership change.
This axis of foreign influence clearly has a strategy of prolonging the holding of elections by forcing the remaining two FMS leaders to refuse the agreement in order to provide space for prospective presidential candidates in an attempt to create a narrative of discord. Only today, the prospective presidential candidates have announced the holding of a demonstration next Friday and are clearly timed to coincide with this meeting in the hope of instilling a fear of Armageddon.
Rest assured, the prospective presidential candidates have and will continue to be provided the freedom and political space to express their views and government bodies, as well as security forces will fulfil their statutory duty to protect the public against the dark forces of extremism and the silent enemy of the pandemic while they express their views openly.
However, the security and wellbeing of the Somali people will remain paramount and no armed insurrection under the guise of a political demonstration will be accepted.
There is no doubt elections will happen once the final two FMS leaders endorse the finalization of the 17th September agreement negotiated by their respective technical representatives. Upon the agreement of these two FMS leaders the FGS is willing and able to begin the holding of the election within the month.
The President of Somalia once again invites the leaders of Puntland and Jubbaland to join the Consultative meeting in Mogadishu, to finalise the recommendations of the technical committee. The completion of the electoral process based on dialogue and compromise is vital for the peace and prosperity of the Somali people.
Madame President,
On security developments, defeating Al-Shabaab remains Somalia’s key security priority. We have been engaged in a successful fight against a determined international terrorist organization with regional and global ambition. Thanks to the courage and sacrifices of the Somali National Army and AMISOM troops, AlShabaab has been reduced to carrying out opportunistic attacks on soft targets. Many plots to kill innocent people were foiled and many AlShabab operatives have been killed, captured or arrested.
Despite the courage of AMISOM soldiers in Somalia, it is imperative that we continue to work with our international partners to nurture and develop a well-trained, equipped and funded Somali National Army and Police Force to protect our citizens and contribute to the strengthening of regional stability. We are thankful to all partners who are actively assisting us to work towards and realise this fundamental goal.
Indeed, 2021 will be a pivotal year for Somalia we have completed and revised Somalia’s Transition Plan, which was UNSC and lays out a clear path for Somalia to transition security away from AMISOM to Somali Security Forces
It’s important AMISOM is fit for purpose and able to meet the present challenges and by this we mean, firstly, the realisation of a reconfigured AMISOM force that is more mobile and agile enough to support the Somali Security Force’s offensive capabilities. Secondly, a move away from a single sector presence of TCC forces to a mix TCC forces presence in all sectors to improve command and control.
Finally, greater coordination and joint operations between AMISOM and the Somali Security forces to enable Somali leadership. To put it simply the upcoming AMISOM CONOPS must reflect effectively the aim of the Somali Transition Plan.
Madame President,
With regards to economic development, the Somali Federal Government has prioritized economic reforms to ease the unsustainable national debt burden from the Somali people. Through great national effort and in partnership with bilateral and multilateral partners, Somalia completed successive economic reform programs guided by the International Monetary Fund to reach the Decision-point under the Highly Indebted Poor Countries Initiative (HIPC) in early 2020.
This was a huge achievement which is now followed by a sequel program, Extended Credit Facility (ECF) which continues to build on the foundations of strengthening Public Financial Management, Raising Domestic revenue towards fiscal sustainability, managing expenditure to a sustainable level, good governance and financial sector reforms.
Moreover, we have put in place laws and regulations to institutionalize good governance and sustainable economic management to cement the economic reforms.
We are determined to remain on the right reform trajectory to reach the Completion Point, and hopefully attain complete debt forgiveness. This coupled with the lessons we have learnt and the systems and processes we have built through the economic reform journey, should lead Somalia on the road to sustainable development, opportunity and prosperity.
Madame President,
Alongside the political, security and economic progress presented so far, Somalia has also been making steady progress in the state building process particularly through the constitutional review process and the prevention and resolution of conflicts. Somalia has also been effectively responding to the triple threat of locust, flooding as well as the global COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to have a severe impact on the health and economic stability of Somalia and its people. Somalia continues to call for global solidarity and equitable access to vaccines at this extremely difficult and vulnerable time for all populations.
To conclude,
Somalia has truly come a very long way on a journey in which many thought it would not make it past the first few hurdles. Somalia’s economic success is a fruit of the collective efforts of the Somali Government, People and our valuable international partners. The Somali People are resilient and committed to building a better future for themselves of which they can be proud.
As for politics, Somalia’s political process has developed from the period in which it was initiated and developed by international partners. However, since 2012 and in particular the last four years, Somali leaders have dealt with complex political issues without the supervision of the International Community.
This has in turn made the Somali people have confidence in their governance and their leaders. And despite recent events the president’s invitation to the remaining two Federal Member State leaders stands without delay.
Because rebuilding an inclusive, progressive and prosperous Somalia is fundamental for all Somalis. It is the commitment of this Government to honour this noble objective by delivering free and fair elections while continuing to safeguard the physical, health, and financial future of the Somali People.
By Osman Dubbe Minsiter of Information, Culture and Tourism
MOGADISHU — Somalia marked a grim milestone on Jan. 26, exactly 30 years since clan-based fronts, backed by foreign nations, ousted the last central government and then turned the once prospering, developing and peaceful country into a wasteland, where famines, massacres, poverty, terrorism and illiteracy reigned supreme.
The international community generously helped Somalis during their hour of need: They hosted fleeing Somalis, providing them with safety, food, shelter, medicine, education and, even, citizenship. Some of those refugees have later become world-known figures in their second homes – a minister in Canada, a congresswoman in the U.S. and a four-time Olympic champion in the UK.
We’re grateful for that assistance and, as a minister of this proud nation, I say to the world ‘thank you so much.’
Somalia is a nation of survivalists. We persevere in the face of calamities – yet don’t lose our signature smile on our faces. We’re a brave and proud nation. We’re patient, friendly and hardworking people – facts everyone who interacts with us appreciates. The U.N. envoy for Somalia James Swan was recently effusive in his praise of Somalis, talking of the “courage and resilience of Somali citizens who have persevered through some of the toughest conditions in any country on the planet over the past three decades.”
His predecessor, Michael Keating, went further and called Somalis a “talented” people with “great imagination.”
“Somalis are amazing, by the way, if you didn’t know this. You’re amazing people. You’re very entrepreneurial, you know, very creative,” Keating said in a speech in 2018.
I am glad that the international community does not only stand us in good stead, but also appreciates the good qualities in our people.
As we look to the future with hope, we must also take stock of the painful past. While some nations have selflessly helped Somalia’s recovery, others have hindered it all the way.
That is why the international community’s role in Somalia over the past 30 years is a mixed bag. I am saying this because when we talk truthfully about the past, we will be able to correct the mistakes and create a bright future for this promising nation.
It’s a fact that Somalia’s steady attempt to turn the page on destructive policies of the past have been frustrated by war-profiteers, anarchists and Somali politicians backed by few foreign countries who want to keep it in lawlessness because that either helps their masters or fulfills their selfish intentions.
The true colors of these groups emerge mostly during election times and their slogan appears to be “our way or Somalia will be kept in hell.” On Thursday night and Friday, security forces foiled a plan to stage an armed insurrection in the capital under the guise of peaceful protests.
The government is acutely aware of the danger facing the nation. Just before President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed “Farmajo” came to power in 2017, the ruthless Tigray People’s Liberation Front, misusing the Ethiopian nation’s resources, wreaked havoc in our country, committing war crimes and massive human rights abuses.
While the Somali government celebrates the demise of the TPLF-dominated administration in Ethiopia, it’s unfortunate that the Somali nation is still wrestling with Kenyan-backed politicians, whose sole aim is to turn the clock back to the old days when war-lords called the shots in the country and foreigners looted our natural resources.
I have no doubt that Nairobi and others, like the United Arab Emirates, that wish us failure, will themselves fail, God willing, because they’re the aggressors. I believe wholeheartedly that the FATE of Somalis will always remain in their hands – not in the hands of foreign cities or organizations.
As the nation enters an election year, I want to assure all Somalis and friendly and helpful nations that President Farmajo’s administration is genuinely committed to holding peaceful, inclusive, free and fair elections, whose result could lead us to a prosperous Somalia.
Since last year, the government has climbed down from many positions – our initial plan was to hold one man, one vote election – to compromise for the nation and even please opposition groups, which curiously include regional leaders who usurped the role of the Senate.
President Farmajo and Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble have held many private and public meetings with top opposition figures and regional leaders to resolve any election-related differences. Prime Minister Roble has hit the ground running immediately after his swearing in on Sept. 23, paying several visits to Garowe, Dhusamareeb ( now Samareeb) and Baidoa to confer with regional leaders. The Prime Minister’s office is wide open for all Somalis who would like to share with him their concerns or counsel.
On Sept. 17, President Farmajo and regional leaders agreed on an electoral model and time that were to guide the country’s 2020-2021 elections. Unfortunately, as the Somali public and the world know, our electoral train that was set to leave the station on Nov. 1 has not yet started because of the constant roadblocks erected on the road to a peaceful and timely process.
In the southern region of Jubaland, for instance, a Kenya-backed and –armed militia attacked the border town of Belet Hawo on Jan. 25, sparking off a confrontation that killed 14 civilians, including women and five children from the same family. The conflict was a part of a wider attempt by Kenya and others to sabotage Somalia’s elections for fear of the incumbent’s reelection. Some nations harbor an evil belief that if President Farmaajo is reelected, they will no longer be able to continue their destructive policies in Somalia, hence their vicious fight against Somalia and against the President personally.
We’ve recently cut ties with Nairobi for its constant interferences in our internal affairs. On Sunday, the Somali government denounced the United Arab Emirates’ sabotage against Somalia and its desire to create chaos and displacement in the country, as it did in Yemen and Libya.
The international community and organizations, especially the U.S., the U.N., the African Union and the E.U., would be very helpful if they work with the national government and channel their advice and criticism through the open and proper channels of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Symbolism matters in Somalia. International community’s respect for Somali institutions will go a long way in restoring the trust of the Somali public in their government. One of the main arguments of the terrorist group of al Shabab is that Somalia is being colonized by foreign nations that dictate orders to the Somali government.
It’s said to note that the international community is unwittingly playing into the terrorists’s narrative. Between Jan. 28, 2020 and Feb. 8, 2021, our international partners have issued more than a dozen public statements on Somalia’s elections. While we welcome our partners’ interest in our elections, it is regrettable to see our partners reduce their noble role of helping Somalia into public statements, which seem to many Somalis as just mere stunts aimed at attracting attentions.
Our international friends could have been more supportive if they had channeled their energies toward the fundamental issues that are holding back Somalia’s march toward stability and functioning institutions. The world shouldn’t ignore the behavior of a couple of regional leaders who act like they lead an independent nation. There must be consequences for seditious acts and collusion with foreign nations, crimes openly committed by some Somali regional leaders and politicians.
A secure Somalia at peace with itself is good for the world. Therefore, the world must punish, impose sanctions and ostracize peace spoilers to deliver Somalia from further chaos.
The Somali government welcomes constructive criticisms. It has never claimed to be perfect. It needs its international partners’ support and advice. But Somalis want their international friends – collectively and individually – to first share their concerns, counsel and criticisms with their government through diplomatic channels, not through Twitter, Facebook and other social media outlets. That shouldn’t be too must to ask. Somalis want their international friends to strengthen their nation’s institutions and not unwittingly lend support to evil forces that thrive — as they did in the last three decades — in chaos and lawlessness.
Buttressing the gains the Somali government has so far made is not only a safe bet, but it’s an ethical and logical way to protect this fragile nation – where saboteurs, local and foreign, galore – from relapse.
Muqdisho, (CeelWaaqNews): Madaxtooyada Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya waxay mar kale ugu yeeraysaa Madaxweyneyaasha Dowlad Goboleedyada Puntland iyo Jubaland in ay ku soo biiraan shirka wadatashiga ah ee lagu dhammeystirayo talo soojeedintii ay isla meel dhigeen Guddigii Farsamada ee ku kulmay Baydhabo 15-16 Febraayo 2021.
Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya iyada oo ka duuleysa baahida loo qabo in dalka doorasho loo jiheeyo waxay xal u aragtaa in dhammaan Dowlad Goboleedyada ay ka qeyb qaataan dhameystirka geeddi socodka doorashooyinka dalka, loogana gudbo marxaladdan hadda lagu jiro wada hadal, isqancin iyo in loo tanaasulo danta guud.
Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya waxaa ka go’an in dalka loo jiheeyo doorasho, lagana mira dhaliyo heshiiskii 17kii Sebteembar 2020 ay Madaxda Dowladda Federaalka iyo Dowlad Goboleedyada ku gaareen magaalada Muqdisho iyo habraacyadii lagu dhammeystiray fulinta heshiiskaas.
Madaxweynaha ayaa tilmaamay in shaqada Guddiga ay aas-aas u tahay xal u helidda caqabadaha soo wajahay fulinta Heshiiska 17-ka Sebteembar iyo talo-soojeedintooda oo soo afjartay kala aragti duwanaanshihii ku aaddanaa dhaqan gelinta heshiiska doorashada, taas oo ka turjumeysa hor u socodka iyo dimuqraadiyadda dalkeenna.
Madaxweyne Maxamed Cabdullaahi Farmaajo ayaa xusay dadaalladii heer Federaal iyo Dolwad Goboleed ee loo qaaday horumarinta dowladnimada, adkeynta midnimada shacabka Soomaaliyeed iyo xaqiijinta xasilloonida siyaasadeed iyo amni ee dalka.
Muqdisho, (CeelWaaqNews) : Dowladda Federaalka ee Soomaaliya waxay cambaareyneysaa rabshadaha ka dhanka ah xubnaha ka tirsan Ciidamada Amniga Soomaaliya ee ay geysteen shaqaalaha amniga ee musharixiinta u taagan xilka madaxweynaha habeenimadii 19-kii Febraayo 2021.
Waa in la ogaadaa, xuquuqda mudaaharaadku waa xuquuq muwaadin kasta oo aan la dafiri karin, oo uu qeexayo dastuurkeenu laakiin maaha kacdoon hubaysan oo ku gabbanaya mudaharaad siyaasadeed.
Halkii laga taageeri lahaa dhammeystirka arrimaha taagan ee ku saabsan hirgelinta heshiiska siyaasadeed ee 17 Sebtember musharixiinta u taagan xilka madaxweynaha ayaa doortay in ay kiciyaan qalalaase. Runta fudud ayaa wali ah doorashooyinka ayaa ah wadada kaliya ee loogu talagalay kala guurka oo aan kobcin xiisadda dastuurka ama taageerida kacdoonka.
Waxaa nasiib daro ah, kuwa u hanqal taagaya inay qabtaan xafiiska ugu sarreeya dalka oo doonaya inay hoggaamiyaan qaranka Soomaaliyeed waxay isku dayeen inay keenaan xasillooni darro xilligan ay Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya oo taageero ka heleysa shacabka Soomaaliyeed ay ilaalinayso sharafta iyo madaxbannaanida Soomaaliya, iyadoo ay dib u soo ceshanayaan sharafta iyo karaamada iyadoo loo siman yahay dawladaha adduunka.
Dadka Soomaaliyeed way nasan karaan iyaga oo hubinaya horumarka ummaddeenna aan la hareereyn doonin ama la joojin doonin. DFS waxay qaban doontaa doorasho si loogu gogol xaaro in horey loogu socdo xaqiijinta himilada dadka Soomaaliyeed ee ah nabad iyo barwaaqo.
Mogadishu, (CeelWaaqNews) ; The Federal Government of Somalia condemns the violence against members of the Somali Security Forces carried out by security personnel of the prospective presidential candidates on the night of 19th February 2021.
It’s to be noted, the right to hold a demonstration is an indisputable right of every citizen, stipulated by our constitution but not an armed insurrection under the guise of a political demonstration.
Rather than supporting the finalization of the outstanding issues on the implementation of the political agreement of 17 September the prospective presidential candidates chose to instigate chaos. The simple truth remains elections are the only course for transition not fostering constitutional crisis nor supporting insurrection.
Unfortunately, those who aspire to the highest office in the land and want to lead the Somali nation have sought to bring instability at precisely the moment the Federal Government of Somalia with the support of the Somali people are protecting Somalia’s integrity and independence, while regaining their dignity and honor as an equal among the nation states of the globe.
The Somali people can rest assured the progress of our nation will neither be circumvented nor stopped. The FGS will hold an election in order to pave the way for moving forward the realization of the aspiration of the Somali people for peace and prosperity.

Addis Ababa,( CeelWaaqNews) : The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat continues to closely monitor the developments in Somalia.
The Chairperson calls on the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, H.E. Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo, the Federal member state leaders and the entire Somali national leadership, to work constructively together to resolve the political differences that have led to the present electoral and political impasse.
He acknowledges that the recent Dhusammareb consultations have made progress on a number of contentious points but did not reach agreement on the remaining issues.
It is therefore, imperative that the political leadership reach consensus on these outstanding issues in order to allow for the holding of parliamentary and presidential elections without much delay.
The Chairperson notes, with grave concern, that the considerable gains made by AMISOM and the Somali Security Forces (SSF), in fighting Al-Shabaab, extending state authority over large parts of the country, and improving security and rule of law for the Somali people, are now being threatened by the escalating political tension.
The Chairperson stresses that the stability of Somalia is at stake and calls on all Somali stakeholders to put national interest first and constructively seek solution to their differences through dialogue and compromise.
The African Union, which has since 2007 shown its solidarity and commitment to the people of Somalia through the deployment of AMISOM, stands ready to continue providing support to the Somali political leadership to implement the outcomes of an inclusive process.

US District Judge Drew Tipton said the Biden administration had failed “to provide any concrete, reasonable justification for a 100-day pause on deportations.”
A general view shows the federal court in Richmond, Virginia June 19, 2009. ( Reuters )
A federal judge has barred the US government from enforcing a 100-day deportation moratorium that is a key immigration priority of President Joe Biden.
US District Judge Drew Tipton issued a temporary restraining order on Tuesday sought by Texas, which sued on Friday against a Department of Homeland Security memo that instructed immigration agencies to pause most deportations.
Tipton said the Biden administration had failed “to provide any concrete, reasonable justification for a 100-day pause on deportations.”
Tipton’s order is an early blow to the Biden administration, which has proposed far-reaching changes sought by immigration advocates, including a plan to legalise an estimated 11 million immigrants living in the US illegally.
Biden promised during his campaign to pause most deportations for 100 days.
The order represents a victory for Texas’ Republican leaders, who often sued to stop programs enacted by Biden’s Democratic predecessor, President Barack Obama.
It also showed that just as Democratic-led states and immigration groups fought former President Donald Trump over immigration in court, often successfully, so too will Republicans with Biden in office.
David Pekoske, the acting Homeland Security secretary, signed a memo on Biden’s first day directing immigration authorities to focus on national security and public safety threats as well as anyone apprehended entering the US illegally after November1. That was a reversal from Trump administration policy that made anyone in the US illegally a priority for deportation.
The 100-day moratorium went into effect Friday and applied to almost anyone who entered the US without authorization before November.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton argued that the moratorium violated federal law as well as an agreement Texas signed with the Department of Homeland Security late in the Trump administration.
That agreement required Homeland Security to consult with Texas and other states before taking any action to “reduce, redirect, reprioritize, relax, or in any way modify immigration enforcement.”
The Biden administration argued in court filings that the agreement is unenforceable because “an outgoing administration cannot contract away that power for an incoming administration.”
Paxton’s office, meanwhile, submitted a Fox News opinion article as evidence that “refusal to remove illegal aliens is directly leading to the immediate release of additional illegal aliens in Texas.”
Tipton, a Trump appointee, wrote that his order was not based on the agreement between Texas and the Trump administration, but federal law to preserve the “status quo” before the DHS moratorium.
Paxton has championed conservative and far-right causes in court, including a failed lawsuit seeking to overturn Biden’s victory over Trump, as he himself faces an FBI investigation over accusations by top former aides that he abused his office at the service of a donor.
In response to the order, Paxton tweeted “VICTORY” and described the deportation moratorium as a “seditious left-wing insurrection,” an apparent reference to the Jan. 6 insurrection in which Trump supporters stormed the Capitol. Five people died in the Capitol riots, including a Capitol Police officer.
Kate Huddleston of the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas criticized Paxton and argued his lawsuit shouldn’t be allowed to proceed.
“The administration’s pause on deportations is not only lawful but necessary to ensure that families are not separated and people are not returned to danger needlessly while the new administration reviews past actions,” Huddleston said in a statement.

Bangladeshis turn to BiP amid privacy concerns on Facebook-owned WhatsApp
DHAKA, Bangladesh
Turkish communication and messaging app, BiP jumped to the top of the users’ list in Bangladesh in the wake of concerns about privacy protection on WhatsApp.
BiP currently holds the top position in Bangladesh among the top messaging apps for Android, according to one of the world’s leading app store optimization and mobile app intelligence platforms, MobileAction.
It placed WhatsApp second in Bangladesh, while imo, Facebook Messenger and Telegram Messenger are trailing.
Smartphone users in the south Asian delta state are downloading BiP in great numbers and talking about it on social media.
Youngsters are claiming that is BiP a fantastic app launched by Turkey under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Dhaka-based journalist Aoulad Hossain applauded the app and told Anadolu Agency: “I think using the BiP app is safer than WhatsApp as the authority of the app has assured that they will keep all the information of the users secured.”
He said changes to WhatsApp’s privacy policy pushed him to switch. “As WhatsApp has changed its policy to share part of users’ information with Facebook, I’m concerned about my privacy and decided to convert to BiP,” he said.
The surge in downloads of the Turkish app has gained worldwide momentum after WhatsApp, boasting more than 2 billion users, recently introduced controversial changes to its privacy policy that allows it to share more data with parent company Facebook.
Operators of GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) in Turkey — Turkcell, Turk Telekom and Vodafone — joined hands for local messaging app BiP and have since experienced a massive global response.
Massive response in Bangladesh
The response to BiP in Bangladesh appears to be among the top in the world, especially since youngsters in the Muslim-majority country started to download the app and call it “their app.”
“I like Turkey. I love Turkish mega serials Dirilis Ertugrul, Kurulus Osman and Uyanis: Buyuk Selcuklu,” Oliur Rahman, an intermediate student in the capital Dhaka told Anadolu Agency. “I like brave Turkish leader Erdogan. So, I’ve downloaded the Turkish app as my app and I’ll use it randomly from now on.”
Praising Turkey’s initiative, an IT employee at a private firm in Dhaka said BiP needs to add more features like status and theme options.
“You have to know why people use WhatsApp and must introduce all those features and add some more to attract users,” said Rakibul Islam.
At present, nearly 110 million people in Bangladesh use mobile and one-quarter use smartphones and enjoy the internet along with different messaging apps, according to data from Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission and media reports.
“If the current trend of downloading BiP continues in Bangladesh, within a few weeks, users of the app will be in the millions,” said Islam.

Data showed Saturday that BiP has been downloaded by more than 50 million users worldwide, according to Google’s app store.
“BiP is a secure, easy-to-use, free communication and life platform, which offers a seamless communication and a wide range of utility features such as instant translations to 106 languages and exchange rates,” says the app’s description.
It allows users on mobile and the web to make video and audio calls with up to 10 people simultaneously around the world and share images, videos and location.
Zerina Begum, a professor at the Information Technology Institute of Dhaka University, characterized the excitement in Bangladesh and the rest of the world surrounding BiP as common human nature.
Telling Anadolu Agency that users naturally feel interested in anything new, Begum said: “So, the newly introduced BiP has attracted the attention of people and the vacuum developed by the controversial move of WhatsApp has played a significant role to boost the app,” she added.
Underlining the sentiments of Bangladeshis, she said many in the country like Turkey and Erdogan, helping to further boost the app in the South Asian country.
She urged BiP officials, however, not to compromise the privacy of users and the faith they have entrusted them.
The group of 10 Nepalis was the only successful team so far among dozens currently attempting to scale the mountain.

A team of Nepalese climbers made history by scaling the world’s second-highest peak – Pakistan’s K2 – in the winter season, a local Alpine Club official said, on the same afternoon a Spanish mountaineer fell and died lower down the perilous mountain.null
The secretary of Pakistan’s Alpine Club, Karrar Haideri, said 10 Nepali sherpas reached the summit about 5pm (12:00 GMT) on Saturday.
“This was never done by anyone before in winter,” said Haideri.
At 8,611 metres (28,251 feet), K2 is the most prominent peak on the Pakistani side of the Himalayan range, and the world’s second tallest after Mount Everest.
“WE DID IT,” tweeted Seven Summit Treks, a trekking company leading one of the expeditions.null
“Nepalese climbers finally reached the summit of Mt K2 this afternoon at 17:00 local time,” the group said.
But the success was overshadowed by the death of a Spanish climber, Sergi Mingote, lower down the mountain.

WASHINGTON (CeelWaaqNews) :The House voted Wednesday to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time in a swift and bipartisan condemnation of the President’s role inciting last week’s riot at the US Capitol.
The House voted to impeach Trump exactly one week after rioters forced lawmakers to flee from the very chamber in which they cast ballots in the fourth presidential impeachment in US history — and the first time a President has been impeached twice. There were at least 10 Republicans, including the House’s No. 3 Republican, Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who joined with Democrats to impeach Trump for “incitement of insurrection.”
While the vote won’t force Trump from office — the Senate trial isn’t expected to begin until after President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in next week — the vote was a visceral response from lawmakers in both parties furious at Trump after a deadly pro-Trump mob overran Capitol Police, ransacked the US Capitol and put the lives of Vice President Mike Pence and lawmakers in danger last week.
“We know that the President of the United States incited this insurrection, this armed rebellion against our common country,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on the House floor ahead of the vote. “He must go. He is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love.”
The speed of the vote and the Republican support underscores the fury that lawmakers feel about Trump’s role inciting the rioters who overtook the Capitol, who were fueled by Trump’s months of false rhetoric about the election being stolen from him. Cheney’s statement was cited by impeachment supporters and detractors alike Wednesday after she charged that Trump “summoned this mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack.”
“There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution,” Cheney said.
McCarthy said Wednesday that Trump “bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters,” urging the President to accept his share of responsibility and “quell the brewing unrest.” McCarthy, however, argued the House should create a bipartisan commission instead of impeachment.
“I believe impeaching the President in such a short timeframe would be a mistake,” McCarthy said. “No investigations have been completed. No hearings have been held.”
The division within the Republican Party starkly contrasts the House Democrats’ 2019 impeachment of Trump, when House Republicans were united in opposition.
In the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is not planning to bring the Senate back for a trial before January 19, meaning the trial won’t begin until Trump is out of office and Biden has been sworn in.
In a note to his GOP colleagues Wednesday afternoon, McConnell wrote, “I have not made a final decision on how I will vote and I intend to listen to the legal arguments when they are presented to the Senate.”
McConnell has indicated he believes impeaching Trump will make it easier to get rid of the President and Trumpism from the Republican Party, sources said Tuesday. McConnell is facing a delicate balance — a number of his GOP colleagues have made clear they oppose impeachment and the Kentucky Republican famously loathes anything that divides his conference, according to a source familiar with the matter.
But the source says McConnell is also keenly aware of the moment in history — and the moment for the Republican Party. McConnell’s shift against Trump has been apparent for those watching him closely. He cut off contact with Trump weeks ago and has made clear he has no plans ever to speak to him again.
For House Democrats, the disagreements that divided their caucus on impeachment in 2019 simply never materialized. Democrats quickly coalesced around using impeachment in the final days of Trump’s presidency to serve as a proper response to the President’s conduct and as a way to push for his removal from office before the end of his term, although that scenario looks unlikely.
Pence sent a letter ahead of the vote saying he would not seek to invoke the 25th Amendment as Democrats had urged, and Trump is not considering resigning.
Pelosi has brushed aside Republican efforts to take a different action, such as censure, in response to Trump’s role in the riot. She named impeachment managers on Tuesday evening, a team of nine Democrats who will be led by Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, ahead of a likely trial in the days after President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said late Tuesday the House would send the articles to the Senate immediately.
Democrats have only grown more resolute in their push to impeach Trump over the riot as more information has come out about the attack on the Capitol, including violent images of Capitol Police officers being attacked, and the death of a Capitol Police officer. Wednesday’s vote occurred while thousands of National Guard troops were present every nook of the Capitol complex ahead of next week’s inauguration, and they slept on the floors of the Capitol building the night before the impeachment vote.
Trump has showed no contrition for his role in last week’s Capitol riot, railing against impeachment on Tuesday in his first public remarks since the incident. A source close to the President said he’s not considering resigning.
“It’s been analyzed,” Trump said of his remarks last week to the crowd before the riots. “People thought what I said was totally appropriate.”
Trump, unable to post his thoughts on Twitter after his account was permanently suspended in the fallout from the riots, released a statement just before Wednesday’s vote saying, “In light of reports of more demonstrations, I urge that there must be NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind. That is not what I stand for, and it is not what America stands for. I call on ALL Americans to help ease tensions and calm tempers.”
Wednesday’s impeachment vote will complicate the opening days of the Biden administration, both in his efforts to reach out to Republicans and because the Senate is likely to be tied up with a trial just as Biden is taking office.
Both Biden and Schumer have argued that the Senate will try to divide its days while conducting the trial, so the Senate can confirm Biden’s nominees and consider Covid-19 stimulus legislation while also carrying out the impeachment trial.
Company says Trump continues to foment violence, dispute election results a day after his account reactived.

Twitter said on Friday it has permanently suspended US President Donald Trump’s account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.
“After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” the company said in a statement.
“In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action. Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open.”
The company said in its statement that two of Trump’s tweets on January 8 violated its glorification of violence policy.
In the first tweet that violated this policy, according to Twitter, Trump said the “75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”
Twitter said in its assessment this tweet “is being interpreted as further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an ‘orderly transition’ and instead that he plans to continue to support, empower, and shield those who believe he won the election.”
In a separate tweet, Trump said: “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.”null
Twitter said “Trump’s statement that he will not be attending the Inauguration is being received by a number of his supporters as further confirmation that the election was not legitimate” and “also serve as encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts that the Inauguration would be a ‘safe’ target, as he will not be attending.”
Twitter had temporarily blocked Trump’s account earlier this week following the siege of Capitol Hill on Wednesday by pro-Trump protesters and warned that additional violations by the president’s accounts would result in a permanent suspension.
The White House did not immediately issue a statement in response to the permanent suspension.
Kenya risks losing access to cheap Eurobonds due to its debt pile-up, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned, citing investor concerns.
IN SUMMARY
The IMF’s latest assessment of Kenya’s debt sustainability shows the country is likely to breach the threshold over the next decade going by the level of external loans against the value of dollar-earning exports, tax revenues and gross domestic product (GDP).
Official data shows that Kenya’s debt stood at 69.2 percent of the GDP in August 2020, having climbed from 61.7 percent at the end of 2019 and 50.2 percent at the end of 2015.
The IMF warning comes barely a month after Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani told Parliament that Kenya expects to return to the Eurobond market in 2024 to refinance Sh130billion ($1.2billion) maturing bonds it borrowed in 2014.
Kenya risks losing access to cheap Eurobonds due to its debt pile-up, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned, citing investor concerns over possible defaults or deferment of repayments.
The IMF’s latest assessment of Kenya’s debt sustainability shows the country is likely to breach the threshold over the next decade going by the level of external loans against the value of dollar-earning exports, tax revenues and gross domestic product (GDP)—factors that drive lending decisions and pricing of sovereign debt.
Official data shows that Kenya’s debt stood at 69.2 percent of the GDP in August 2020, having climbed from 61.7 percent at the end of 2019 and 50.2 percent at the end of 2015.
“The DSA (Debt Sustainability Assessment) suggests that Kenya is susceptible to export and market financing shocks and more prolonged and protracted shocks to the economy would also present downside risks to the debt outlook, including from the continued potential loss of market access for frontier economies at reasonable prices, thus raising the probability that the debt indicators would remain in breach of the thresholds over time,” the IMF said in its assessment report.

Sub-Saharan African countries have been tapping cheap dollar loans that saw outstanding debt nearly double to $625 billion between 2011 and 2019, according to the World Bank. But now the continent is facing jittery investors since Zambia defaulted on its Eurobonds and other countries restructured bilateral loans under a deal offered by the Group of 20 of leading economies.
The IMF projects that Kenya’s debt in present value terms will hit 69.9 percent of the GDP in 2022 and breach the 70 percent threshold up to 2024 when the country is scheduled to settle the 2014 Eurobond in a bullet payment — a single repayment of principal of a bond or loan on its maturity date.
The fund’s assessment further shows that Kenya will also be in breach of the amount of interest payments against dollar-earning exports and debt service against tax revenues in 2024.
The country has recently turned to expensive commercial loans to refinance maturing debt and fund the budget. These include syndicated loans arranged by banks which are short-term and charge interest rates as high as eight percent.
In 2013 only seven percent of external debt was commercial, 27 percent bilateral and 64 percent borrowed from multilateral sources.
Currently, commercial debt makes up 31 percent of foreign loans, bilateral debt is 30 percent while multilateral debt is 39 percent.
Out of Kenya’s Sh3.2 trillion external debt, $6.1 billion (Sh652.7 billion) is owed to holders of the country’s Eurobonds.
The current Jubilee administration has borrowed nine syndicated loans compared to a single one during the tenure of President Mwai Kibaki’s, reflecting the recent borrowing spree.
These have been borrowed from Standard Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Citi Bank, Trade Development Bank (former PTA Bank), Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) and Qatar National Bank.
TDB is Kenya’s biggest lender of syndicated loans and has issued the country with over Sh160 billion over the last four years.
The IMF and the World Bank are helping Kenya balance its books by offering low-cost loans with long grace periods and lengthy maturity to reduce interest payments and make debt easy to service.
Last year Kenya turned to the two institutions for cheaper concessional loans, tapping Sh100 billion from the World Bank and Sh79.3 billion from the IMF.
Kenya plans to borrow an additional $1.5 billion (Sh150 billion) from the World Bank in 2021 and take a $2.3 billion (Sh250.4 billion) loan facility from the IMF for budget support.
The loans are offered at less than two percent with a grace period of five years and a 30-year repayment period.

US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, has pressed Afghanistan’s Taliban to reduce violence as outgoing President Donald Trump seeks to hasten the end of the nearly 20-year war.

The top US general has met Taliban representatives this week in Qatar, urging them to reduce the level of violence and move more swiftly towards a political solution in Afghanistan, the US military said.
The meeting in Doha with the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, comes as negotiators representing the Afghan government and the Taliban take a break until January 5 when they will continue to work on an agenda.
Milley also met Taliban officials in June but that meeting was not publicly announced, said a US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The two meetings are believed to be the first time a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has met the Taliban, although Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the top US military official in Afghanistan have met with them before.
“The chairman discussed the need for an immediate reduction of violence and accelerate progress towards a negotiated political solution which contributes to regional stability and safeguards US national interests,” a US military statement said.
During his trip, Milley also met Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in Kabul, and separately told that the United States remained “fully committed to helping Afghans create a secure and stable Afghanistan,” the statement said.
Nairobi (CeelWaaqNews)- “We stand to lose everything in this diplomatic row with Somalia” the former Ladgera MP and National Assembly Deputy Speaker, Farah Moalim said.
The leader said Somalia has been a cash cow for Kenya all these years, providing employment for our young men and women. Kenya is the destination of choice for Somalis. So many of them invest in our country, literally growing our economy.
“But we kept chasing them away and playing with their dignity, territorial integrity and sovereignty. How can you as a country meddle in their internal affairs? Imagine the Somalia President supporting one of the Kenyan governors. Yet we have the audacity and arrogance to call for a break-away in another county?”
He stated that the whole world, the international community, is going to side with Somalia. Somalia has just severed diplomatic ties with Kenya and next, it will announce it is closing its airspace to Kenya.
“Planes to Somalia generate revenue for this country. The miraa sector has suffered. Meru county is at a standstill because its main cash crop (miraa) cannot be exported to Somalia. Somalia is likely to order the Kenya Defence Forces to get out of the country, arguing that soldiers no longer play a productive role,” Moalim said.
Moalim underscored that this situation is a godsend to the current President of Somalia Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed saying he will mobilise the nation by presenting himself as the only man courageous enough to stand up for their dignity, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
“The people we have hosted in Nairobi are very unpopular on the ground; people do not want to secede. That is why Ethiopia has changed tack—kneeling down before Somalia and saying ‘forgive us for what we have done to you all these years. We are going to respect and never destabilise you further’,” he said.
“A destabilisation scheme was hatched many years ago between Ethiopia and Kenya. But dynamics have changed. Former President Daniel Moi was a smart guy. He abandoned that and instead created a good relationship between Kenya and Somalia. Somalia was literally stabilised by Moi.”
H said “Now we are in a big problem—look at the performance of our shilling against the dollar.”
“Our shilling is losing against the dollar because 200,000 Somali families that were living in Kenya and spending on our economy have moved to Turkey. Our President has been misadvised and I am sure he is regretting it.”

Saudi Arabia(CeelWaaqNews)- Motion to dismiss case against Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman claims sovereign immunity from US courts.
Lawyers for MBS say he is immune from prosecution in the US [File: Reuters]Mahad M Hilow
Lawyers for Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman (MBS) on Monday evening filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit against him, saying there is no evidence to support claims he ordered a hit squad to assassinate a former Saudi intelligence official and that he is immune from charges in a US court.null
The 106-page lawsuit (PDF) was filed in August on behalf of Saad al-Jabri, an exiled former aide to former Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, a former heir to the Saudi throne who was overthrown in a 2017 palace coup that left MBS as the country’s de-facto ruler.
Jabri claims he obtained information during his time as an aide and as a top intelligence official that could be threatening to MBS, which motivated the Saudi crown prince to organise an assassination attempt against al-Jabri using the so-called “Tiger” hit squad.
The lawsuit says the alleged attempt took place 13 days after members of the Tiger squad were involved in the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2, 2018.
The lawsuit says the plot was thwarted when the members of the Tiger squad arrived at the Canadian border and aroused suspicion of security officials.null

U.S. President-elect Joe Biden announces nominees and appointees to serve on his health and coronavirus response teams during a news conference at his transition headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, U.S., December 8, CeelWaaqNews/Mahad M Hilow
WASHINGTONWASHINGTON (CeelWaaqNews) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday handed a defeat to Republicans seeking to throw out up to 2.5 million mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania as they try to undo President Donald Trump’s election loss, with the justices refusing to block the state from formalizing President-elect Joe Biden’s victory there.
The court in a brief order rejected a request by U.S. congressman Mike Kelly, a Trump ally, and other Pennsylvania Republicans who filed a lawsuit after the Nov. 3 election arguing that the state’s 2019 expansion of mail-in voting was illegal under state law.
Pennsylvania was one of the pivotal states in the election, with Biden, a Democrat, defeating Trump after the Republican president won the state in 2016. State officials had already certified the election results.
There were no noted dissents from any of the justices on the court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority including three Trump appointees. Trump had urged the Republican-led Senate to confirm his most recent nominee, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, before Election Day so she could participate in any election-related cases.
Trump has falsely claimed that he won re-election, making unfounded claims about widespread voting fraud in states including Pennsylvania. Democrats and other critics have accused Trump of aiming to reduce public confidence in the integrity of U.S. elections and undermine democracy by trying to subvert the will of the voters.
“This election is over. We must continue to stop this circus of ‘lawsuits’ and move forward,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, wrote on Twitter.
The Supreme Court also must decide what to do with another election-related case brought on Tuesday. Republican-governed Texas, hoping to help Trump, mounted an unusual effort to overturn the election results in Pennsylvania and three other states – Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin – by filing a lawsuit against them directly at the Supreme Court.
The Republican plaintiffs argued that the universal, “no-excuse” mail-in ballot program passed by the Republican-controlled Pennsylvania legislature in 2019, enabling voters to cast ballots by mail for any reason, violated the state’s constitution.
Biden won Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes and received a much higher proportion of the mail-in votes than Trump. Many more people voted by mail this year because of health concerns prompted by the coronavirus pandemic as they sought to avoid crowds at polling places.
Ahead of the election, Trump urged his supporters not to vote by mail, making groundless claims that mail-in voting – a longstanding feature of American elections – was rife with fraud.
‘JUDICIAL POWER’
Pennsylvania said in a court filing that the Republican challengers were asking the justices to “undertake one of the most dramatic, disruptive invocations of judicial power” in U.S. history by nullifying a state’s certification of its election results.
The state said most of what the challengers had sought was moot because the election results already were certified and what they were really wanted was for “the court overturn the results of the election.”
Pennsylvania’s top court on Nov. 28 dismissed the challenge, saying that the lawsuit was not filed in a timely manner when the mail-in voting law was first enacted. It threw out a lower court ruling that had ordered the state not to certify the election pending a hearing.
Trump’s campaign and his allies have lost in a stream of lawsuits in key states won by Biden, also including Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and others. Judges have rejected sweeping assertions of voting irregularities.

Washington (CeelWaaqNews) –A Maryland lawyer was charged in an 11-count indictment for his alleged role in a scheme to fraudulently obtain control of more than $12.5 million that was held by financial institutions on behalf of the Somali government, to improperly take part of those funds for fees and expenses, and to launder a portion of those funds to accounts for the benefit of his co-conspirators.
Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian C. Rabbitt of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Robert K. Hur of the District of Maryland, Special Agent in Charge Jennifer C. Boone of the FBI’s Baltimore Field Office, and Special Agent in Charge Kelly Jackson of the IRS-Criminal Investigation’s Washington D.C. Field Office made the announcement.
Jeremy Schulman, 47, of Bethesda, Maryland, was charged in an indictment filed in the District of Maryland with one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud and bank fraud; three counts of wire fraud; one count of mail fraud; one count of bank fraud; one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering; and four counts of money laundering.
The indictment alleges that from 2009 to 2014, Schulman conspired with others to fraudulently obtain control of financial assets held on behalf of the Somali government around the world and enrich himself and his co-conspirators by taking a portion of those assets in fees and expenses.
To effectuate this scheme, Schulman and others allegedly created false documents regarding Schulman’s authority to recover assets on behalf of the Somali government. Schulman presented these allegedly false documents to a federally insured bank and other institutions. In addition to using forged and fraudulent documents, Schulman also allegedly made material misrepresentations and concealed material information from these banks and institutions regarding his authority to act on behalf of the Somali government.
As a result of this scheme, Schulman, his co-conspirators, and the law firm where Schulman was a shareholder ultimately obtained control of approximately $12.5 million of frozen Somali funds. Schulman caused his law firm to improperly retain more than $3.3 million of the Somali funds while remitting the rest to the Somali government. Schulman received hundreds of thousands of dollars of additional compensation from his law firm based on the revenue from the scheme, and allegedly engaged in further fraud and money laundering to cause a portion of the funds retained by his law firm to be wired to accounts for the benefit of his co-conspirators.
An indictment is merely an allegation and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
This case was investigated by the FBI’s Baltimore Field Office and IRS-Criminal Investigation’s Washington D.C. Field Office. Trial Attorneys Jason Manning and Amy Markopoulos of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section, and First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lenzner and Senior Litigation Counsel David Salem of the the District of Maryland are prosecuting the case. The Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs also provided assistance in this matter.

Washington (CeelWaaqNews)- Biden may have sympathies for the Kurdish cause, but as US president, he will not always act in the Kurdish interest.

Many Kurds across the Middle East welcomed Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump in the recent elections in the United States. The former vice president is known to be sympathetic to the Kurdish cause and his presidency is expected to bring some relief from the harmful policies Trump pursued.
Some even hope that the Biden administration may oversee the fulfilment of the Kurdish dream for an independent state. After all, it was Biden who in May 2015 told Masoud Barzani, then president of the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI): “We will see an independent Kurdistan in our lifetime”. But are such hopes realistic?
There is little question that Biden has been a staunch supporter of the Kurds for nearly three decades. In 1991, he denounced former President George H W Bush for allowing Iraqi forces under Saddam Hussein to recapture the liberated Kurdish areas in northern Iraq. In 2002, he addressed the KRI’s parliament, reassuring members that “mountains are not your only friends”.
After the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Biden advocated for a federal model in which Kurdish, Sunni, and Shia regions are established to help alleviate the sectarian tensions driving the civil war. This move was welcomed by the Kurds, who saw it as a guarantee of their autonomy.
Biden also harshly criticised the Trump administration’s policies on the Kurds. In 2019, Trump gave the green light to Turkey to attack Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces in northeastern Syria, for which Biden called him “the most reckless and incompetent commander in chief we’ve ever had”.
But the president-elect is also a realist, and when he takes office on January 20, 2021, he will pursue the best interests of his country. His willingness to support the Kurds will be limited by the broader US agenda in the Middle East that he will set.
He had a similar approach as vice president tasked with dealing with Iraq and Syria under the two administrations of President Barack Obama. During that time, Biden repeatedly tried to leverage his personal relationships with Kurdish leaders to advance the US interests and in fact, in some cases he prevented Kurds from strengthening their strategic position vis-à-vis Baghdad.null
While supporting Kurdish autonomy in Iraq, Biden pressured Erbil to come to terms with Baghdad. He personally asked Barzani to delay the vote on the KRI constitution because it had included the disputed province of Kirkuk as an integral part of the Kurdish region. This would have sparked an ethnic conflict in Iraq between Kurds and Arabs and undermined US interests in Iraq.
In 2010, Biden, along with Obama, personally asked Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani to give up his position as president of Iraq in favour of Ayad Allawi, the head of the Iraqiya coalition, which had won the elections earlier that year. This move would have meant giving up a post allocated to the Kurds, which would have greatly diminished Kurdish power in Baghdad. Talabani rebuffed the request and stayed in his post.
Biden also supported Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, whose decision to cut Erbil’s budget in 2014 and purge Kurds from the Iraqi Army caused a lot of resentment in the KRI.
So while Biden has expressed much support for the Kurds in rhetoric, in practice, his record is mixed at best. As a person who deeply believes in human rights and freedom, he may want the Kurds to have an independent state, but he also understands the consequences this may have in one of the most challenging geopolitical regions of the world.
