The Total War on Al-Shabab has many obstacles mostly stemming mainly from federal member states (FMS) and dark horses within the security sector. These obstacles need to be addressed immediately to avoid giving space to Alshahab terrorists. Let's start examining FMS

The research showed that assault rifles were priced approx. $90 higher in southern Somalia than in the north.
The pricing data constitutes tentative corroborating evidence of a north-south illicit supply chain, with weapons becoming more expensive the further south they travel.

My latest research on illegal fishing in #Somalia has just been published in @GI_TOC's Risk Bulletin #22.
It details the activities of the Liao Dong Yu vessels, a fleet of Chinese trawlers that have been pillaging northern Somali waters since at least early 2020.

The Liao Dong Yu vessels are operated by Liaoning Daping Fishery Group, based in Dandong, #China.
Many abuse allegations surround the vessels, incl forced labour practices, deadly working conditions and ~20 violations of Somali and Chinese fisheries laws and regs.

At least three Indonesian crew members have died onboard the vessels since mid-2020.

Global Fishing Watch & #Somalia Gov both reported more than 100 Iranian vessels in Somali waters in 2019-2020
#Puntland issued, lacks legal powers, 52 licenses in less than 60 days to trawlers, illegal in Puntland & Somalia, per doc obtained by @GI-TOC $10k-15k each license
#Puntland issued, lacks legal powers, 52 licenses in less than 60 days to trawlers, illegal in Puntland & Somalia, per doc obtained by @GI-TOC $10k-15k each license
Assuming continuity of the licence fees per year, #Puntland would get $3M-$5M per year.
This money is collected by agents, there are few of them, 5.
One of them is Saddam Ismail, an agent for 8/52 vessels.
He is linked to arms smuggling: delivering arms & picking up fish

It is true: he was among soldiers presented by #Puntland.

The report presents three case studies to illustrate the intersection between illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing networks and state corruption:
#1 - The environmentally destructive operations of gillnetters of Iranian origin off the #Puntland coast, abetted by a network of local agents and fisheries ministry officials.
Up to now, 110 political parties registered (provisionally) in #Somalia,

The outgoing Prez had a freehand in 3 local elections and he rigged them ALL, hence the VITAL & sacred duty to protect the national election;

Another unusual opinion by the way, my last 1 for today. Reporter Atosh's shit storm paid off in the end for the job seeking #Somali lady & Atoosh maybe helped many before her, had just enough & indirectly said we are so many, let the others do it this time!😂#Somalia #Mogadishu
"*May said" bc of positive speculation. Why I think he deserves a break now, bc he is better than those celeberties who didn't respond 2 those seeking help, therefore U can't start a rage campaign like dat, dat helped d lady at d end of the day with $4,5k & 8 job offers😉#Somalia
Weli waa Xasuustaa Sababihii uu uga Diiday #QoorQoor & #Farmaajo Balankoodii inuu u tago. Waxaan rajaynayaa inaad la dhacsaneed. Maxaa ka dhihi ayadoo waxba iska badalin tabashadii aad la dhacsaneed hadduu #Dhusamareb3 ka dego markii ay ajanabi ku dhaheen tag?🥸#Somalia #Puntland
#Puntland waxeey ku jirtaa Gobaladda Dadkooda ugu Faqrisan yihiin #Somalia, Xataa haddii ay leeyihiin Diaspora fara badan oo lacag usoo dirto. Faqriga & dayaca shacabka waxu gaarsiisan yahay heer khudaar looga yaqaano tuuloyinka qaarkood Basasha & Botaatada😱 #Mogadishu #Galmudug

A race btw #FGS & #IC(@US2SOMALIA, @NBerlangaEU, @UNSomalia)has begun while IC bombs #Dhuusamareeb3 with heavy artillery from Dhabalif(Triators, corrupters & confederates) & d #FGS is using Dabadhilif fighting aircraft with d rule of law to try to erase them🤔 #Somalia #Mogadishu
The race is over, the losers from the #FGS had no chance of getting out of the way, on the contrary, those from #IC have been so agile that they bombarded with Dabadhilif #Dhusamareb3 that everything was over quickly and we now have to dismiss our team.😱#ImpeachFarmaajo #Somalia
I feel beaten, frustrated and angry, and regret not going to bed earlier, I can't digest and go to bed with these bitter bill now? I hope when I wake up tomorrow to hear better news than what #Farmaajo was able tonight, No from Parliament.🙄#Somalia #Mogadishu #Puntland #Galmudug
