#Thread 1/8
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
#Puntland - Deni is not doing anything to stop ISIS and Alshabab illicit activities such as illegal Iran weapon smuggling, illegal Chinese fishing, & illegal gold mining export- this was documented by the US gov other orgs. Deni hasn't repealed the "Catch and Release" policy.2/8 ImageImageImageImage
#Jubaland; Madoobe is facilitating Alshabab economic illicit hubs and safe havens- among illicit econmic activities that benefit and share with JL admin are:
1-Charcoal exports $150M/yr revenue.

My fifth paper for @GI_TOC has just gone live!

Over eight months, we catalogued 425 weapons and over 3,200 rounds of ammunition in 13 illicit markets across #Somalia.

(thread)

globalinitiative.net/analysis/somal…
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. Image
Over 60% of documented weapons were of apparent #Chinese manufacture, with an additional ~20% manufactured in #Russia (Soviet Union). Image

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.

(thread)
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.

Much thanks to @PuntlandPirates work, notes & reflections
- Iranian Gillnetters (indiscriminate way of capturing marine animals-illegal) licensed by officials-Evidence
- Forced labor
- NEFCO tried to sell #Somalia fish privately, facilitates IUU fishing
globalinitiative.net/wp-content/upl…
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
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

A father of slain soldier who spoke to VOA avails evidence for #Somali troops taken to #Eritrea for training were deployed in #Tigray

- The father who is also Somali soldier said his son, killed by friends he recently made, was among soldiers 1/3

voasomali.com/a/5963899.html…
- The father who is in Afgoye, outside #Mogadishu, said my son called me from Makelle, and told me that he wants to come back home. I sent him money. He was brought to Samera, Afar, then Jijiga, Hargaisa, Garowe.

It is true: he was among soldiers presented by #Puntland.
The father also reported that his son told him while in Tigray: he finished training 19 months ago
- In a curios note, the father reported that people who killed his son were people he learned recently: they were not his friends. He was stabbed to death. #Somalia

My third paper for @GI_TOC has gone live today.

It details illegal fishing practices in #Somalia and the capture of state institutions by illicit networks. (thread)

Many thanks to @ian_urbina // @OutlawOcean and @C4ADS for their assistance!

globalinitiative.net/analysis/illeg…
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,

#Somalis want a democratic state;

The current dispute & delay over the indirect election is due to ONE factor: the outgoing president is scheming to openly and unabashedly engineer his reelection;
1/5
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;

In the #Southwest election, he arrested one contender and exiled the other & when the UN envoy said this is not good, he was PNG-ed;
2/5
During elections in #Hirshabelle & #Galmudug, no credible contender stood against Farmaajo allies because the process was rigged & outcome was already known;

THUS:

#Puntland, #Jubaland & #Mogadishu Opposition are the bulwark against a dictatorship in Somalia; I solute them;

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
I would like many of those in the #Somali politics stage to explain their opinion so understandable & rationally to d Pple & not explain it as everyone knows. Even our good guy r making dis bad habit theirs, maybe they no longer see the necessity of pple's voluntariness😉#Somalia

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

An ORG. of lawyers established to promote professional competence, enforce standards of ethical conduct, & encourage a spirit of public service among members of the legal profession, will become a bunch of nothing if U misuse it for Gulwadenismus. Just saying🤷🏿‍♂️ #Somalia #Puntland
On my trip 2 #Garoowe next yr, I will definitely need a lawyer, by seeing #Deni & his world view through d median, but certainly not from ur organization, bc I can’t be sure of d service U will offer, if it will be treated honestly.🤨
#Somalia #Puntland #KGS #Mogadishu #Galmudug
I'm ordinary #Somali, it makes me sich when I see how d intellectuals have all been corrupted by this curious system in #Puntland. Everyone in #Garoowe has failed, d lawyers, d doctors, d teachers & everyone else who understands how good Governance works🤔#Somalia #Mogadishu #KGS
