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
Apart from negative impact of trawling in Somali waters, & its negative impact on coastal communities, people in #Puntland need to know where this money goes & how the impact is going to be mitigated?

See the names of Trawling vassals obtained by GI-TOC from internal documents
7 vessels whose ownership linked to Thai Senator, were re-flagged by #Somalia’s Fed Gov & #Puntland, after Thai government started investigations on them on matters relating to illegal fishing, labor abuses & later validity of their catch & health certificates.
Somalia’Fed Gov attempted to defend Al Wasam ( based in Bosaso) legitimacy after Thai investigations on the validity of its catch certificate. The vassal took 46 containers of fish to Thailand from #Somalia. When Thai learned the re-flagging, it denied containers entry to Thai
@GI-TOC learned that through phone records analysis, how is not clear: a contact between Al Wesam Fishing Company, a company that operated Al Wesam fleet, & Arms traffickers in #Yemen & #Somalia, suggesting, if true, links between illegal fishing & arms trafficking
#NEFCO, company based in #Puntland, with ties to external actors interested in fishing.

NEFCO operates 4 trawlers, prohibited by #Puntland & Somalia fishery law 2014, despite illegality of its work, it secured fishing licences, flag registration, export doc from authorities
Four Korea flagged Trawlers, previously operated by company located in #Oman, managed by Korean National,

were re-flagged by #Puntland after trawlers were denied exportation of their catch to #Korea on matters pertaining to tightening regulations to combat illegal #fishing.
Somalia’s Fed Gov under Hassan Sheikh in 4/2015 wrote to IO Tuna commission: NEFCO trawlers fishing illegally in #Somalia.

Some of the trawlers arrived with their catch to Oman, FGS protested.

#Puntland supported the Trawlers.

In 5/2015, FGS retracted its claim of illegality
There are couple of reasons to believe that Korean national still owns NEFCO trawlers.

1- Consigner of the #NEFCO vassals cargo phone number is same as the #Korea national that managed the previous company, that operated the trawlers

2- Korean nationals operate the trawlers
Federal Government of #Somalia, under @M_Farmaajo just like @HassanSMohamud endorsed under their respective fishery & marine ministries, #Puntland issuance of licences to NEFCO trawlers, even though trawling/industrial fishing is prohibited by Somalia fishery law, 2014.
NEFCO member & nephew of its founder, grew ambitious & attempted #NEFCO like project at Fed level:

to sell licences to foreign companies through Horn Investment Agency, private agency formed with help of two Fed ministers, Ibrahim & Warsame.

Plan drafted & Video meeting called
Horn Investment Agency ( HIA) on behalf of FGS contacted China Fishing Co: noting HIA has right to sell permits to fish in #Somalia.

-HIA advised FGS S finance minister to contact China embassy while using the letterhead of the ministry to offer Pingtan Co fishing opportunities
Fed Ministry of #fisheries @mrbidhaan gave fuel provisioning tender to Hass petroleum, Co based in Kenya, to fuel China vessels in #Somalia waters, without tendering process, revenue: ~$12-$18M

- Tender not published in the finance ministry site

- FGC did not review the tender

Liban willl continue to document focused sessions and during this period he will do everything within his power to ensure that he learns something and shares that with others.

The reinforcement, as stated yesterday, for this behavior is reflection and learning, that would have the potentiality to improve human conditions.
Libin was stressed about the requirement to report something that he has learned in the course of the session.

Then he remembered the moment that he worries about the particular result, the production of that particular result became difficult. So, he told himself to do his best and that suffices; and if he learn nothing report that he has learned nothing : that in and itself is an exercise of authenticity.

One of the great lessons that he exercised in this session is to record his tiredness, and the need to take a break to recharge, and once again enhance his capacity to do an effective work. 1340.
Despite Ramadan effect, Liban is feeling as if he ate something sweet. Cause for this unknown: possibly due to many things going well. He also feels this way whenever he works on a task that was waiting him for a while to be performed, and he make a significant progress towards the completion of this particular task

1400, desire also emerged to work. Loban no longer needs to take a break. It appears momentum has emerged to sustain focus on tasks. 1433, Liban now decided to take a break before he continues his effective work.

Liban started focusing sessions at 0830. The aim is to practice focusing for 52 minutes, and to building general disposition for greater focusing capacities. Also to report what is being learned since that reinforces this writer and possibly you, the reader.

This is something Liban enjoys doing, and he should that since he has the opportunity to do so, and the platform to use.

He also wants to benefit from observer effect, X impressions, to fuel his focusing skills, and to endure Ramadan effect, and to add meaning to the vicissitudes of life.
Liban finished the first focused session. One of the biggest challenges that he faces is that he easily gets distracted. However, whenever he is accountable to someone else, the benefit of observe effect, he gains braking power to limit the frequency of distractions, and increase the frequency of focusing to get some work done.

He understands that behavior increases in frequency if reinforced. So, when he focuses, he reinforces the focusing session by learning and teaching, to benefit from the reflection of experiences and thoughts, and therefore gain knowledge from reflection for process improvement, and by implication improvement of relevant human conditions
1024. One of the things that Liban noticed is that he wants to do everything at once, and failing to do so he present his anxiety. In applied behavior analysis, the presentation of anxiety is positive punishment, its impact is to decrease the future for probability of this behavior: getting worked done.

This happens automatically.

He must learn to do things one at a time, appreciate sequence as a mode of achieving goals.

Comment on this document pertaining to lifting arms embargo.

- Assessment mission was sent to Somalia by UN Security Council in summer and they reported back, after visiting Somalia and Kenya.

Somalia was judged on the basis of 10 standards. Let us see how Somalia did it:

1- Does Somalia has laws & procedures governing weapons and ammunitions, their procurement, importations and a way of controlling these weapons, ammunitions and other related materials?

Answer is yes. Presidential decree issued in 2018 and 11 standard operating procedures issued between 2021-2023, covering management of weapons are in place. Somalia is also signatory to various international control of arms, inclining Nairobi protocol for the prevention, control and reduction of small arms in Great Lakes region and Horn of Africa.

2- Did Somalia implement and update its weapons management strategies on the basis of baselines and targets both at the federal and state level? A simple way of saying this is: what actions did Somalia take to control its weapons & ammunition so that they were used as they were intended for ?
Yes. It did update its baseline data with regard to the weapons management strategy. See attached screenshot of the report linked above. This will tell whether Somalia is making progress or not with regard to the objective of controlling lethal weapons at its disposal. Baseline data include marked weapons, keeping records of weapons and so on.
Image
Standard #4, Does Somalia has someone who coordinated weapons & ammunition management at both federal and regional level? The answer is yes. See screenshot attached. Somalia’s national security advisor coordinates weapons management at national level and he had focal points individuals at regional states. These people met multiple times and have had a workshop in Galmudug in march 2023.

After deputy speaker confronts finance minister, he admits:
- Financial statements ( Xisaab Xir) pertaining to the money budgeted to the Federal Gov was not returned to the federal Parliament to show use of the money for its intended purpose in 2018,19 & 20. #N&N corruption
This runs counter to the claim of Farmaajo supporters that they are not corrupt. They refused to submit financial statements to the federal parliament for accountability purposes. Instead Pro-Farmajo speaker signed documents representing the parliament.#Somalia
It is surprising that #Farmaajo supporters could not even trust parliament that generally supported them to review how money was used
- Among the entities that have refused to return statements indicating how allocated money was used included the presidential palace.

Bryden says due process of law not observed,

- Banaadir court is not federal, accused of federal crime.

- The government publicly said Sahan lied, the court said Sahan spied: indecisive
- No evidence & witnesses presented

- My lawyer not allowed to represent me #Somalia
Sahan co-founded by Bryden, was third-party monitor of donor funded police.

Flagging police brutality led to de-funding Baidoa Police.

Fahad constructed parallel security under Farmajo command: Haramcad ( Police) & Gorgor ( army) 7k recruits to Eritrea ( Duufaan from this)
My comment:
It appears #Ethiopia government, consistent with tripartite agreement, to establish centralized powers in Horn, helped arrest Robow in Baidoa & attempted to arrest Madoobe in Kismayo, the latter failed, risking confrontation between #Kenya & Ethiopia in #Somalia

Commentator on drones reported: drones imported by Somali MP bear strong resemblance, judging from the pictures, to this: the Mugin 3600VTOL (3600mm wing diameter).

Googling this model reveals this: You can put a heavier equipment on the plane now. @AAbdishakur @HarunMaruf
Reports from #Mogadishu indicate drones were six. The manufacturer claims that each drone costs $7,000.

The total amount of the drones would cost at $42,000. Add the cost of delivery and assembling, cost will reach minimum at $50k.

@AdamAbdule @RAbdiAnalyst
- Two Turkish nationals were with the drones; it is reasonable to assume, as some have reported, that they were hired to assemble them.

If so, add this to the cost, tickets, accommodation, services & training: around $60k #Somalia
