STORY: Members of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) are conducting daily patrols in the southern port city of Kismayo in Somalia. Fierce fighting broke out between rival militias fighting for control of the town earlier this month. The patrols are conducted by Kenyan and Sierra Leonean troops serving with the AU Mission, and have helped restore relative calm to the country's second largest city. Kismayo is located just over 500 kilometers southwest of Mogadishu - the capital. The city and its port were formerly under the control of Islamist extremist group al Shabaab until October last year. The severely weakened al Qaeda-linked group was pushed out by Somali National Forces supported by AMISOM's Kenyan contingent, as has been the case in most Somali towns. At the Kismayo General Hospital, victims of the fighting are still being treated. But Somalia's decades of conflict have taken their toll. The hospital has only two doctors and lacks proper facilities and medical personnel. Mohamed Jama says he is lucky to have survived the bullet that hit him in the arm and chest during the clashes. His relatives and friends had no other choice but to rush him here. "The hospital does not have medication and does not have doctors, but we have nowhere else to go," Jama said. The United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, Philippe Lazzarani paid a visit to Kismayo to assess the situation on the ground. He met with community leaders and visited the victims. " I just visited the hospital of Kismayo, it has been absolutely remarkable the way the situation has been dealt by the local civil society here," said Lazzarani. "I told them that the UN and the international organisations will continue their support." Kismayo's port, once a supply route for the al Shabaab militants and a major source of revenue, is now registering an increasing flow of commercial vessels from as far as the UAE. With increased security, ships like the Liberty Aura, dock at this port at least twice monthly - ferrying food, building materials and even cosmetics. Hashi Ahmed Mohamed is the vessel's agent in Kismayo, and he says things have changed for the better here. "Business is better because of the security situation that has improved since the KDF arrived in Kismayo. There has been a big difference and we can now do our businesses freely," said Hashi. AMISOM forces in Kismayo got a boost in the fight against al Shabaab, with the recent deployment of the last batch of troops from the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF). The West African troops are the fifth country to provide troops for the African Union forces in Somalia, joining Burundi, Djibouti, Uganda and Kenya. The RSLAF troops conduct joint operations with the Kenyan contingent in support of the Somali National Army (SNA) as they provide security in the Jubaland region of the country. After a long day spent patrolling in Kismayo, many of the soldiers join other Muslim faithful around the region and the world, to pray for peace and break their fast in observance of the Holy Month of Ramadan.

SHOTLIST
STORY:
A convoy of military vehicles makes its way to a secluded area in the Medina District of Mogadishu.
Since the departure of extremist group al Shabaab in 2011, Somalia’s National Security Forces and their African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) partners, have been collecting and destroying unexploded ordnance (UXOs) from all over the Somali capital.
Explosive stockpiles, weapons, ammunition caches and Improvised Explosive Device (IED) abandoned by the besieged al Qaeda-linked group continue to pose grave threats to civilians, government soldiers and AMISOM troops.
This is in addition to the detritus of war left after decades of civil conflict.
“These IEDs, there are a lot of ammunition in this country. He have to make very hard work to collect, destroy it and to sensitise the citizens to know that the IED is very dangerous for the life and for people who live in this country,” said Colonel Salvator Niyongoma, the Burundian AMISOM information officer charged with liaising with the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS).
Since its inception in Somalia, UNMAS has trained over 1,000 Somali police, AMISOM and humanitarian staff, not only in IED detection, removal, counter-IED
operations and medical procedures but in disposal as well.
Private James Kasekende - of the Ugandan contingent of AMISOM - was one of the trainees and is now a Explosive Ordnance Team (EOD) leader.
“It is very important to destroy these things, because you know if they are like that, these guys, we call them al Shabaab, they can pick them, they get the explosives in them, then they use them to make homemade bomb which they can use to target our convoys and their fellow Somalis, so that why we have to demolish them. To make sure that the whole of Somalia is free of these things,” Kasekende said.
Kasekende and his team, alongside their Burundian counterparts and UNMAS mentors, endeavor to demolish a stockpile of UXOs each week. They detonated about 75 kilograms of explosives on this outing under strict safety guidelines that are closely coordinated with local government officials.
According to UNMAS, nearly every community in south-central Somalia suffers from a degree of Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) contamination and few have the support or capacity to deal with these threats.
The UN department reports that more than 15,000 items of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) were safely destroyed.

DATELINE: 20 JANUARY 2014, KISMAYO, SOMALIA
STORY:
Somalia today (20th January) took a step further towards institution of an all-inclusive federal system, with the inauguration of the Jubba Interim Administration Executive Council.
The administration was recognized by the Somali Federal Government in August last year and the Executive Council launched today, is comprised of the President, his two Deputies and 10 ministers.
The ceremony comes as a result of months of reconciliation efforts, championed by IGAD brokered talks held in Addis Ababa last year.
A reconciliation conference was then held in Mogadishu in November last year, followed by a two day visit to Kismayo by the Somali President H.E Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud, to strengthen the reconciliation drive.
Speaking during the ceremony, the Head of United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia, Nicholas Kay noted that today’s events are significant in the country’s history and pledged the support of the international community;
“Today is a demonstration that you are not alone, the international community is here in impressive presence. From AU, IGAD, EU from all corners and the UN is here and we will stay here and we will help you to build a better future for you and for your children, I thank you,” he stated.
The leader of the Jubba Interim Administration Ahmed Sheikh Mohamed Islam expressed his gratitude to AMISOM for helping restore the peace that has allowed for such processes to take root.
He also challenged his administration to ensure that economic activity is revived, noting that poverty and unemployment create room for civil war and exploitation of the population by al Shabaab insurgents.
“This is the moment to do something. The people of Jubbaland and the people of Somalia need us to do something. It is hunger that creates al Shabaab. Problems create enmity. Unemployment fuels clan conflict. A bad economy creates civil war. In order for us to overcome this, we must collectively depend on ourselves and on each other. We need to expend our resources and tap our potential and maximize what we can do for ourselves and the international community should support us with the resources we will require,” he appealed.
The Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Mission in Somalia (SRCC), Ambassador Mahamat Saleh Annadif congratulated the new administration and the people of Somalia, upon this major achievement.
“We are witnessing a historical event today, but above all, an event which symbolizes hope, the hope for peace and stability in Somalia. What has happened in Jubbaland is an example to follow for the other regions, in accordance to the Somali Federal constitution, but above all it allows them to reconcile. Puntland just gave us another positive example by organizing very good elections. We are hoping that the new administration can accelerate things. Their African brothers, AMISOM, will always support them and we promise that the year 2014 will be a crucial year in the fight against terrorism in Somalia,” he said.
The ceremony was attended by senior officials from AMISOM, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia, the European Union, IGAD, as well as representatives from Sweden, Ethiopia and Kenya.
Also in attendance was a high level delegation from the Federal Republic of Somalia, Puntland and Members of Parliament, led by the deputy speaker Jaylani Nur Ikar.
The inauguration of the Jubba Interim Administration Executive Council comes two weeks after Puntland elected its leadership, showing the positive steps taken by Somalia, to end clan conflict and establish an effective federal system.
The Interim administration is still charged with establishing a regional assembly and is expected to hold polls in two years’ time to have an elected federal government in place.
The interim administration consists of Gedo, Lower Juba and Middle Juba regions, with Kismayo, as its main city.
Somalia is on the path to instituting an all-inclusive federal system, with support from African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and the international community.

African Union
The African Union (AU) is a continental union consisting of 54 countries in Africa. The only African state that is not a member is Morocco, due to the status of the Western Sahara, although Burkina Faso and the Central African Republic have had their memberships suspended due to the recent coup d'état and ongoing civil war, respectively. The AU was established on 26 May 2001 in Addis Ababa and launched on 9 July 2002 in South Africa, with the aim of replacing the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). The most important decisions of the AU are made by the Assembly of the African Union, a semi-annual meeting of the heads of state and government of its member states. The AU's secretariat, the African Union Commission, is based in Addis Ababa.
Overview
The objectives of the AU are:

African Union Mission to Somalia
The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) is an active, regional peacekeeping mission operated by the African Union with the approval of the United Nations in Somalia. It is mandated to support transitional governmental structures, implement a national security plan, train the Somali security forces, and to assist in creating a secure environment for the delivery of humanitarian aid. As part of its duties, AMISOM also supports the Federal Government of Somalia's forces in their battle against Al-Shabaab militants.
AMISOM was created by the African Union's Peace and Security Council on 19 January 2007 with an initial six-month mandate. On 21 February 2007 the United Nations Security Council approved the mission's mandate. Subsequent six-monthly renewals of AMISOM's mandate by the African Union Peace and Security Council have also been authorised by the United Nations Security Council.
The duration of AMISOM's mandate has been extended in each period that it has been up for review, lastly in October 2014. The current mandate expires on 30 November 2015. Until that time its maximum allowed strength is 22,126 troops.

United Nations
The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization to promote international co-operation. A replacement for the ineffective League of Nations, the organization was established on 24 October 1945 after World War II in order to prevent another such conflict. At its founding, the UN had 51 member states; there are now 193. The headquarters of the United Nations is in Manhattan, New York City, and experiences extraterritoriality. Further main offices are situated in Geneva, Nairobi and Vienna. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict.
During the Second World War, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt initiated talks on a successor agency to the League of Nations, and the United Nations Charter was drafted at a conference in April–June 1945; this charter took effect 24 October 1945, and the UN began operation. The UN's mission to preserve world peace was complicated in its early decades by the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union and their respective allies. The organization participated in major actions in Korea and the Congo, as well as approving the creation of the state of Israel in 1947. The organization's membership grew significantly following widespread decolonization in the 1960s, and by the 1970s its budget for economic and social development programmes far outstripped its spending on peacekeeping. After the end of the Cold War, the UN took on major military and peacekeeping missions across the world with varying degrees of success.

The administration was recognized by the Somali Federal Government in August last year and the Executive Council launched today, is comprised of the President, his two Deputies and 10 ministers. The ceremony comes as a result of months of reconciliation efforts, championed by IGAD brokered talks held in Addis Ababa last year. A reconciliation conference was then held in Mogadishu in November last year, followed by a two day visit to Kismayo by the Somali President H.E Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud, to strengthen the reconciliation drive. Speaking during the ceremony, the Head of United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia, Nicholas Kay noted that today’s events are significant in the country’s history and pledged the support of the international community; “Today is a demonstration that you are not alone, the international community is here in impressive presence. From AU, IGAD, EU from all corners and the UN is here and we will stay here and we will help you to build a better future for you and for your children, I thank you,” he stated. The leader of the Jubba Interim Administration Ahmed Sheikh Mohamed Islam expressed his gratitude to AMISOM for helping restore the peace that has allowed for such processes to take root. He also challenged his administration to ensure that economic activity is revived, noting that poverty and unemployment create room for civil war and exploitation of the population by al Shabaab insurgents. “This is the moment to do something. The people of Jubbaland and the people of Somalia need us to do something. It is hunger that creates al Shabaab. Problems create enmity. Unemployment fuels clan conflict. A bad economy creates civil war. In order for us to overcome this, we must collectively depend on ourselves and on each other. We need to expend our resources and tap our potential and maximize what we can do for ourselves and the international community should support us with the resources we will require,” he appealed. The Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Mission in Somalia (SRCC), Ambassador Mahamat Saleh Annadif congratulated the new administration and the people of Somalia, upon this major achievement. “We are witnessing a historical event today, but above all, an event which symbolizes hope, the hope for peace and stability in Somalia. What has happened in Jubbaland is an example to follow for the other regions, in accordance to the Somali Federal constitution, but above all it allows them to reconcile. Puntland just gave us another positive example by organizing very good elections. We are hoping that the new administration can accelerate things. Their African brothers, AMISOM, will always support them and we promise that the year 2014 will be a crucial year in the fight against terrorism in Somalia,” he said. The ceremony was attended by senior officials from AMISOM, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia, the European Union, IGAD, as well as representatives from Sweden, Ethiopia and Kenya. Also in attendance was a high level delegation from the Federal Republic of Somalia, Puntland and Members of Parliament, led by the deputy speaker Jaylani Nur Ikar. The inauguration of the Jubba Interim Administration Executive Council comes two weeks after Puntland elected its leadership, showing the positive steps taken by Somalia, to end clan conflict and establish an effective federal system. The Interim administration is still charged with establishing a regional assembly and is expected to hold polls in two years’ time to have an elected federal government in place. The interim administration consists of Gedo, Lower Juba and Middle Juba regions, with Kismayo, as its main city. Somalia is on the path to instituting an all-inclusive federal system, with support from African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and the international community. END. -

An advance team from the Sierra Leonean contingent will leave for Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya today (April 2, 2013) from where they will make their way to their posts in southern Somalia, operating alongside AMISOM’s Kenyan contingent. “We will be joining in the rest of the other contingents in AMISOM to ensure that we will be able to implement the African Union mandate in Somalia.

Colonel Abubakar Conteh. The West African troops will form AMISOM’s fifth national contingent, after Burundi, Djibouti, Kenya and Uganda. “We are now partakers of global peace enhancement, and of course during our own ten years of civil war, people came from different countries to support our peace achievement, and now that we have the opportunity to reciprocate that particular aspect, we are very happy,” said Lt. Salieu Sankoh, referring to the international peacekeeping troops that helped end Sierra Leone’s civil conflict that lasted from 1991-2002. “I’m happy because this shows that our country is improving, we are now members of the international community, our soldiers are being called up for peacekeeping missions, it makes me really happy,” added Ansu Kamara, who lives in the capital Freetown. The AU Peace and Security Council authorized the integration of a contingent of RSLAF into AMISOM early last year. Since then AMISOM troops in support of the Federal Government of Somalia have pushed Al Qaeda affiliated al Shabaab terrorists from much of south-central Somalia.

Pep Bonet - SomaliaPep Bonet - Somalia
For 16 years following the collapse of the Siad Barré regime in 1991, Somalia remained the only country in the world without an effective central government. Six months of relative stability under the rule of the Union of Islamic Courts was brought to a rapid close in the final days of 2006, as Ethiopian militia allied to the forces of a transitional government (which was formed in Kenya in 2004, but had never assumed power) took over the capital Mogadishu. In January 2007 President Abdullahi Yusuf entered Mogadishu for the first time since taking office in 2004. International response to the situation in Somalia has to date been insufficient, from both a political and humanitarian point of view. The principal focus has been a peace process lead by the IGAD (Inter-Governmental Authority on Development) in Kenya, which led to the creation of the transitional parliament in 2004. This development was seen as positive for the future of Somalia, and was welcomed by the African Union as progress towards peace and stabilization of the country; but the fact remains that antagonism between clans is still very strong. Deep rivalries between regional states persist, threatening the peace process and aggravating the humanitarian crisis. Over a million Somalis have sought refuge worldwide, and the conflict has threatened the stability of neighbouring countries. This situation is symptomatic of broader international neglect of Somalia. Financial support from donors has failed to provide the level of political commitment and technical assistance required for success.

Footage of African Union Mission in Somalia - Unravel Travel TV
STORY: Members of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) are conducting daily patrols in the southern port city of Kismayo in Somalia. Fierce fighting broke out between rival militias fighting for control of the town earlier this month. The patrols are conducted by Kenyan and Sierra Leonean troops serving with the AU Mission, and have helped restore relative calm to the country's second largest city. Kismayo is located just over 500 kilometers southwest of Mogadishu - the capital. The city and its port were formerly under the control of Islamist extremist group al Shabaab until October last year. The severely weakened al Qaeda-linked group was pushed out by Somali National Forces supported by AMISOM's Kenyan contingent, as has been the case in most Somali towns. At the Kismayo Gener...

Many say the peaceful Somali power transition after this week's elections have motivated the AU to fully hand back security control of the nation to its people. CGTN's Girum Chala has more.

STORY: Members of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) are conducting daily patrols in the southern port city of Kismayo in Somalia. Fierce fighting broke out between rival militias fighting for control of the town earlier this month. The patrols are conducted by Kenyan and Sierra Leonean troops serving with the AU Mission, and have helped restore relative calm to the country's second largest city. Kismayo is located just over 500 kilometers southwest of Mogadishu - the capital. The city and its port were formerly under the control of Islamist extremist group al Shabaab until October last year. The severely weakened al Qaeda-linked group was pushed out by Somali National Forces supported by AMISOM's Kenyan contingent, as has been the case in most Somali towns. At the Kismayo General Hospital, victims of the fighting are still being treated. But Somalia's decades of conflict have taken their toll. The hospital has only two doctors and lacks proper facilities and medical personnel. Mohamed Jama says he is lucky to have survived the bullet that hit him in the arm and chest during the clashes. His relatives and friends had no other choice but to rush him here. "The hospital does not have medication and does not have doctors, but we have nowhere else to go," Jama said. The United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, Philippe Lazzarani paid a visit to Kismayo to assess the situation on the ground. He met with community leaders and visited the victims. " I just visited the hospital of Kismayo, it has been absolutely remarkable the way the situation has been dealt by the local civil society here," said Lazzarani. "I told them that the UN and the international organisations will continue their support." Kismayo's port, once a supply route for the al Shabaab militants and a major source of revenue, is now registering an increasing flow of commercial vessels from as far as the UAE. With increased security, ships like the Liberty Aura, dock at this port at least twice monthly - ferrying food, building materials and even cosmetics. Hashi Ahmed Mohamed is the vessel's agent in Kismayo, and he says things have changed for the better here. "Business is better because of the security situation that has improved since the KDF arrived in Kismayo. There has been a big difference and we can now do our businesses freely," said Hashi. AMISOM forces in Kismayo got a boost in the fight against al Shabaab, with the recent deployment of the last batch of troops from the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF). The West African troops are the fifth country to provide troops for the African Union forces in Somalia, joining Burundi, Djibouti, Uganda and Kenya. The RSLAF troops conduct joint operations with the Kenyan contingent in support of the Somali National Army (SNA) as they provide security in the Jubaland region of the country. After a long day spent patrolling in Kismayo, many of the soldiers join other Muslim faithful around the region and the world, to pray for peace and break their fast in observance of the Holy Month of Ramadan.

SHOTLIST
STORY:
A convoy of military vehicles makes its way to a secluded area in the Medina District of Mogadishu.
Since the departure of extremist group al Shabaab in 2011, Somalia’s National Security Forces and their African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) partners, have been collecting and destroying unexploded ordnance (UXOs) from all over the Somali capital.
Explosive stockpiles, weapons, ammunition caches and Improvised Explosive Device (IED) abandoned by the besieged al Qaeda-linked group continue to pose grave threats to civilians, government soldiers and AMISOM troops.
This is in addition to the detritus of war left after decades of civil conflict.
“These IEDs, there are a lot of ammunition in this country. He have to make very hard work to collect, destroy it and to sensitise the citizens to know that the IED is very dangerous for the life and for people who live in this country,” said Colonel Salvator Niyongoma, the Burundian AMISOM information officer charged with liaising with the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS).
Since its inception in Somalia, UNMAS has trained over 1,000 Somali police, AMISOM and humanitarian staff, not only in IED detection, removal, counter-IED
operations and medical procedures but in disposal as well.
Private James Kasekende - of the Ugandan contingent of AMISOM - was one of the trainees and is now a Explosive Ordnance Team (EOD) leader.
“It is very important to destroy these things, because you know if they are like that, these guys, we call them al Shabaab, they can pick them, they get the explosives in them, then they use them to make homemade bomb which they can use to target our convoys and their fellow Somalis, so that why we have to demolish them. To make sure that the whole of Somalia is free of these things,” Kasekende said.
Kasekende and his team, alongside their Burundian counterparts and UNMAS mentors, endeavor to demolish a stockpile of UXOs each week. They detonated about 75 kilograms of explosives on this outing under strict safety guidelines that are closely coordinated with local government officials.
According to UNMAS, nearly every community in south-central Somalia suffers from a degree of Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) contamination and few have the support or capacity to deal with these threats.
The UN department reports that more than 15,000 items of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) were safely destroyed.

DATELINE: 20 JANUARY 2014, KISMAYO, SOMALIA
STORY:
Somalia today (20th January) took a step further towards institution of an all-inclusive federal system, with the inauguration of the Jubba Interim Administration Executive Council.
The administration was recognized by the Somali Federal Government in August last year and the Executive Council launched today, is comprised of the President, his two Deputies and 10 ministers.
The ceremony comes as a result of months of reconciliation efforts, championed by IGAD brokered talks held in Addis Ababa last year.
A reconciliation conference was then held in Mogadishu in November last year, followed by a two day visit to Kismayo by the Somali President H.E Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud, to strengthen the reconciliation drive.
Speaking during the ceremony, the Head of United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia, Nicholas Kay noted that today’s events are significant in the country’s history and pledged the support of the international community;
“Today is a demonstration that you are not alone, the international community is here in impressive presence. From AU, IGAD, EU from all corners and the UN is here and we will stay here and we will help you to build a better future for you and for your children, I thank you,” he stated.
The leader of the Jubba Interim Administration Ahmed Sheikh Mohamed Islam expressed his gratitude to AMISOM for helping restore the peace that has allowed for such processes to take root.
He also challenged his administration to ensure that economic activity is revived, noting that poverty and unemployment create room for civil war and exploitation of the population by al Shabaab insurgents.
“This is the moment to do something. The people of Jubbaland and the people of Somalia need us to do something. It is hunger that creates al Shabaab. Problems create enmity. Unemployment fuels clan conflict. A bad economy creates civil war. In order for us to overcome this, we must collectively depend on ourselves and on each other. We need to expend our resources and tap our potential and maximize what we can do for ourselves and the international community should support us with the resources we will require,” he appealed.
The Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Mission in Somalia (SRCC), Ambassador Mahamat Saleh Annadif congratulated the new administration and the people of Somalia, upon this major achievement.
“We are witnessing a historical event today, but above all, an event which symbolizes hope, the hope for peace and stability in Somalia. What has happened in Jubbaland is an example to follow for the other regions, in accordance to the Somali Federal constitution, but above all it allows them to reconcile. Puntland just gave us another positive example by organizing very good elections. We are hoping that the new administration can accelerate things. Their African brothers, AMISOM, will always support them and we promise that the year 2014 will be a crucial year in the fight against terrorism in Somalia,” he said.
The ceremony was attended by senior officials from AMISOM, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia, the European Union, IGAD, as well as representatives from Sweden, Ethiopia and Kenya.
Also in attendance was a high level delegation from the Federal Republic of Somalia, Puntland and Members of Parliament, led by the deputy speaker Jaylani Nur Ikar.
The inauguration of the Jubba Interim Administration Executive Council comes two weeks after Puntland elected its leadership, showing the positive steps taken by Somalia, to end clan conflict and establish an effective federal system.
The Interim administration is still charged with establishing a regional assembly and is expected to hold polls in two years’ time to have an elected federal government in place.
The interim administration consists of Gedo, Lower Juba and Middle Juba regions, with Kismayo, as its main city.
Somalia is on the path to instituting an all-inclusive federal system, with support from African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and the international community.

STORY:
It’s a busy day at the barracks of ‘Leo Battalion 1’ who serve with the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF).
Soldiers here have been packing gear and conducting last-minute checks on equipment for several days now, in preparation for their deployment to Somalia, where they will become the latest contingent to join the ranks of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).
An advance team from the Sierra Leonean contingent will leave for Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya today (April 2, 2013) from where they will make their way to their posts in southern Somalia, operating alongside AMISOM’s Kenyan contingent.
“We will be joining in the rest of the other contingents in AMISOM to ensure that we will be able to implement the African Union mandate in Somalia. The peace process is currently on enforcement, however the news is telling people that Somalia is getting back to where it was, so our main focus now is to assist in the stabilization of Somalia,” said the RSLAF’s Lt. Colonel Abubakar Conteh.
The West African troops will form AMISOM’s fifth national contingent, after Burundi, Djibouti, Kenya and Uganda.
“We are now partakers of global peace enhancement, and of course during our own ten years of civil war, people came from different countries to support our peace achievement, and now that we have the opportunity to reciprocate that particular aspect, we are very happy,” said Lt. Salieu Sankoh, referring to the international peacekeeping troops that helped end Sierra Leone’s civil conflict that lasted from 1991-2002.
“I’m happy because this shows that our country is improving, we are now members of the international community, our soldiers are being called up for peacekeeping missions, it makes me really happy,” added Ansu Kamara, who lives in the capital Freetown.
The AU Peace and Security Council authorized the integration of a contingent of RSLAF into AMISOM early last year. Since then AMISOM troops in support of the Federal Government of Somalia have pushed Al Qaeda affiliated al Shabaab terrorists from much of south-central Somalia.

For 16 years following the collapse of the Siad Barré regime in 1991, Somalia remained the only country in the world without an effective central government. Six months of relative stability under the rule of the Union of Islamic Courts was brought to a rapid close in the final days of 2006, as Ethiopian militia allied to the forces of a transitional government (which was formed in Kenya in 2004, but had never assumed power) took over the capital Mogadishu. In January 2007 President Abdullahi Yusuf entered Mogadishu for the first time since taking office in 2004.
International response to the situation in Somalia has to date been insufficient, from both a political and humanitarian point of view. The principal focus has been a peace process lead by the IGAD (Inter-Governmental Authority on Development) in Kenya, which led to the creation of the transitional parliament in 2004. This development was seen as positive for the future of Somalia, and was welcomed by the African Union as progress towards peace and stabilization of the country; but the fact remains that antagonism between clans is still very strong. Deep rivalries between regional states persist, threatening the peace process and aggravating the humanitarian crisis.
Over a million Somalis have sought refuge worldwide, and the conflict has threatened the stability of neighbouring countries. This situation is symptomatic of broader international neglect of Somalia. Financial support from donors has failed to provide the level of political commitment and technical assistance required for success.

Fatima grows up somewhere in the vast steppe of Somalia. The drought in 2011 and Al Shabab's attacks and pressure caused many nomads to flee their homes and walk for days and weeks through the empty land to arrive at a refugee camp in Mogadishu, Kenya or Ethiopia. Fatima loses almost everything. With only her mother she arrives in Mogadishu in a capital that is destroyed by ongoing civil war.

This is a film we produced for Kindernothilfe (KNH) a German based humanitarian aid and relief organization focusing on the need of children.
www.kindernothilfe.de
While this was a promotional video we tried to focus on one local person that has benefited from the help and assistance KNH provided in Somalia.
Production time was three days in Mogadishu which was extremely short. Though the Islamist leading power Al-Shabab had just left the city a few weeks earlier and foreign aid organizations then got access Mogadishu was in a state of anarchy. Different militia and foreign troops like the African Union tried to control the city. We were one of the first western journalists having access to areas like the Bakara Market that was once linchpin for raw materials like gold and diamonds between Africa and the Arab World. Working closely with a local Somali partner of KNH helped us a lot getting access to different areas. Still for security reasons we could mostly just spend a short amount of time at one place before leaving to another. All the time being surrounded by two pick-up vans loaded with armed security guys made it difficult to get a much wanted natural and authentic atmosphere.
Post Production was done in Africa and Germany. Out of several hours of interview with Fatima (name changed due to security) that we transcripted during the curfew in the early mornings and evenings we built a narrative that was later voiced-over. Initially we wanted to keep the original voice and subtitle the whole story but as it was made for a German audience and because of distraction from the pictures we ended up letting a German production company do the voice-over.

Yes, I'm saying that it's all lies
http://gagnauga.is/index.php?Fl=Greinar&ID;=169

Yes. You heard what I said. All of it. It's all a bunch of lies. I know that it is a shocking claim to many, that our trusted officials in concert with our reliable mass media actually participated in deliberate deception designed to get us to accept war, but deal with it. I'm making it.
Our biggest moral obligation is ensuring that wars are not waged against people under false pretenses. War is the most disgusting and horrible thing you can inflict on any person.
As you read this article I am sure you will find there are a number of things that will surprise you. After researching the situation for months I assure you I have investigated as many sides of the story as possible. But I did reach a clear conclusion and I will not shy away from openly expressing the views that I have formed during this process.
What we have been seeing recently in the media, this time with a special emphasis on the online community, is the most sophisticated propaganda firework display we have ever witnessed. It’s no surprise so many people have been duped.
But a lie can travel the world before the truth has tied it’s shoe laces. But I believe that once the laces have been tied and the truth starts walking, eventually it’s gonna get to people.
There are at least two sides to every story
None of us could possibly have avoided hearing NATO’s side of the story and the reasons and justifications given for Gaddafi’s removal and how military intervention is necessary to protect Libyan citizens.
But are you sure you’ve heard both sides? Have you heard Gaddafi’s perspective on this issue? Or have you just heard “his side” as represented by the mainstream western media? If so I can start by telling you that his words, and the words of his son, Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi have been deliberately misinterpreted and edited out of context to create simple soundbite propaganda to influence people.
You will find that there is a completely different side of this story that is being completely ignored. It is not even being debated for it's merits, it simply is not talked about at all in the mainstream media.
Think about it. How much do you really know about Libya? Did you in all honesty know anything about the country before these events started unfolding? If I would have asked you back in February 10 questions about Libya and it’s affairs, how many do you think you would have answered correctly? And how much do you honestly know about what is going on there now?
I often find it intriguing how people tend to think they are qualified to give their view on things that in reality they know next to nothing about. They might have vague ideas generated by the mainstream media, biased textbooks and general pre-conceived notions, but not an actual thorough understanding of the country and it’s people and customs.
I had a discussion with a guy at a local bar the other day and I began the conversation by asking if he could tell me on what continent Libya was. Neither he nor his friend could answer correctly, picking Europe and Asia as their educated guesses. For some reason this guy still felt that his take on the situation was more accurate than mine, even as I told him I had been spending weeks investigating the matter. For those of you confused the correct answer is Africa.
I want to ask a simple question to make a simple case? Can you name me one current Libyan government official? You’re not allowed to say Gaddafi. Who holds the position of “Secretary of the General People’s Assembly” a position comparable to that of prime minister, although with a slightly different emphasis as he does not represent a political party and does not alone hold significant power. Did you even know that such a position exists in Libya and that he is elected by the people?
The less you know about something, the easier it is to deceive you.
My intention for exposing your potential and likely ignorance on this subject is not an attempt to show that I’m smarter or better than you. As I found out myself researching this article I knew remarkably little about Libya. And that is my point.
The mainstream media is focusing entirely on a set of news stories that have the specific intention of gathering support for military action and actively suppressing any story that would lead to people opposing it. This pattern will be exposed clearly as this article progresses.
It’s no wonder we don’t know much about Libya. Of course it gets confusing with all the different stories we hear of dictators and tyrants oversees. It is difficult to be an expert on all nations in the world. Just consider how many nations have existed and how long and rich each of their history is and how complex and

STORY:
Mogadishu International seaport is bustling with activity as Somalia emerges from decades of civil war that brought this once thriving port to its knees. Today, business has picked up with trucks arriving to offload tons of cargo from ships that are lining its harbour.
Ships come from as far as Dubai and Pakistan with various goods to be sold in Somalia, now that there is relative peace and following the ousting of the al Shabaab militia that had control of the city until August 2011.
With the increase in traffic on the sea, work opportunities are on the rise for ordinary Somalis who work the port as casual labours.

We used to come to the port to look for work but there was nothing. Now there are many ships here, the port is full and others having been waiting for days at sea waiting to dock.”
The years of war have taken a toll on the port, facilities are inadequate and ships have to spend days offloading their cargo, while others wait out at sea for their turn. The port has seen an increase in the number of cargo ships, with numbers up to 35 per month, giving much needed revenue for the country and the newly elected government, that has the task of rebuilding the nation’s basic infrastructure.
The Safina 2 vessel has been sailing these waters for over ten months now and business is good. This recent journey back to Somalia took them ten days out at sea.

After two decades of war, Somalia is seeing signs of hope after African Union Peacekeepers, with support from the United Nations, took control of Mogadishu and other parts of the country that were strongholds of the Islamic militant group al Shabaab. Already there are thousands of Somalis retuning home and business in the city is on the rise.
The United Nations Security Council extended the mandate of the African Union Peacekeeping force in Somalia (AMISOM) this week for another four months.

“We are continuous run on this ship, first from Dubai to Mogadishu and this time I am coming from Pakistan bringing sugar to Mogadishu. Before this ship was doing about… in the last 14-16 months continues regular run bring different cargo here, general cargo, vehicles, everything to this port.”
After two decades of war, Somalia is seeing signs of hope after African Union Peacekeepers, with support from the United Nations, took control of Mogadishu and other parts of the country that were strongholds of the Islamic militant group al Shabaab. Already there are thousands of Somalis retuning home and business in the city is on the rise.
The United Nations Security Council extended the mandate of the African Union Peacekeeping force in Somalia (AMISOM) this week for another four months.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah - Muharram 7, 1423
The Secretary General of Hizbullah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah(HA), addressing the people on the seventh night of Muharram for the year 1423 (March 20, 2002)
In this lecture, Sayyed Hassan(HA), explains the roots of Zionist occupation and American colonialism and so-called "New World Order", this is well worth reading.
In the Name of Allah the most Beneficent and most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah the lord of the world, and may peace and Allah's praises be upon our master and prophet, the purifier of our sins, and the love of our hearts Mohammed ibn Abdullah followed by his pure progeny, rightful followers, and all the martyrs and mujahideen for Allah's teachings since the birth of Adam until the day of judgment.
May peace be upon you my lord and master Abu Abdullah Al Hussein, and upon those spirits who are floating around thy grave.
I send you my adoration as long as night follows day.
I ask my dear Allah to keep me committed to continuously visit thee and thy family.
May peace be upon Al Hussein, Ali the son of Al Hussein, the sons of Al Hussein, and the followers of Al Hussein.
Dear brothers and sisters, May peace be upon you all;
Allah says in his Glory book Verily, Fir'aun (Pharaoh) exalted himself in the land and made its people sects, weakening (oppressing) a group (i.e. Children of Israel) among them: killing their sons, and letting their females live. Verily, he was of the Mufsidûn (i.e. those who commit great sins and crimes, oppressors, tyrants). And We wished to do a favor to those who were weak (and oppressed) in the land, and to make them rulers and to make them the inheritors, And to establish them in the land, and We let Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and Hâmân and their hosts receive from them that which they feared.
Let's remember some of the words in my speech I read to you on the first night.
I said that Al Hussein may peace be upon him, rose up and fought with the very few members of his family and his companions. He was protecting Islam, the values of Islam, and the existence of this religion, in order to prevent its termination, transformation, vanishing, or the manipulation of its teachings in an aim to send the people back to the early days of ignorance.
I added saying that there are many challenges at this time in which we are living. The declaration of war by the American Administration these days is nothing but a war on Islam, on the values of Islam, on the understandings of Islam, on the Quraan of Islam, and on the Prophet of Islam on the grounds that the existence this religion lives among the people of this nation and its Muslim followers.
I would like to stand up today in the atmosphere of this declaration of war to try and comprehend, explain, and realize the issues widely surrounding us. Consequently we'll realize our stand, the enemy we are facing, and the sort of reality or fact we are living in at this present time.
When we go back and read some of the words or phrases of the American president Bush speeches during the past few days, weeks and months, we will find that some of his words and phrases identified the title of this war.
For example, from what he said: it is the responsibility of each American at the present time to guarantee the domination and the spread of the American values in other parts of this world. I repeat the domination and the spread of the American values in other parts of this world. He spoke these words while he was addressing his officers and soldiers, encouraging them to be patient, endure and tolerate the difficulties.
He told them we are fighting for the values of civilization (of course it would be the materialistic American civilization!). He promises to send forces to this country or that in more than one occasion, and that he aims at transferring the values of the American society to the various countries, societies, and states, since terror cannot be exterminated by the means of military and security only. Yet he says it should be fought by means of culture, which means that we should wipe out the culture that gives birth to terrorists and uprisings, in order to replace it

DATELINE: 6th MARCH 2014 MOGADISHU, 16 AUGUST MARCH 2013, AFGOYE, SOMALIA
STORY
Somali farmers have for the first time been able to supply high quality food to the UN’s World Food Program (WFP), providing supplies to be used to feed fellow countrymen. Farmers from South-central Somalia have sold 200 metric tons of high quality maize grain to WFP, which is to supply areas within the country that have inadequate food.
This is a major breakthrough for the farmers, especially coming from an area that faced severe famine less than three years ago. In 2011, the United Nations declared that 4 million people in Somalia suffered food crisis, as the country suffered the worst drought to affect the East African region in 60 years.
The farmers were supported by the European Union, Austria as well as the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Food Programme (WFP). Under the program, the farmers were trained by experts from FAO and WFP on different aspects including grading their grain, post-harvest handling as well as storage and warehouse management. These skills have been essential in ensuring good quality for the grain that meets the international standards required for purchase by WFP.
Luca Alinovi, FAO’s outgoing representative for Somalia says their focus was on improving the quality of the farming in Afgoye.
“FAO is the organization that helped the farmers, the local institutions to improve their agriculture and FAO’s role was to make sure that the farmers get all the knowledge and capacity to strengthen their productive capacity in order to meet the standards that are required by WFP to purchase the food, which is very complicated, normally it takes several seasons. The beauty of this thing is that the farmers in Afgoye were so good that in one season we were able to produce as per the international standards, which is required by WFP for international purchase,” he says.
For Somali’s Minister for Agriculture, Abdi Ahmed Mohamed the revamping of the sector is significant to efforts aimed at reviving the economy, which has also been strained by decades of war.
“Despite the 20 years of conflict in Somalia, the bread or the anjeera in the plates of the Somali people were produced by mainly from the Somalis. So farmers have been always engaged in the production. Our plan now is to revive the agricultural sector. Its recovery is not only a matter of producing agricultural products, it’s about recovering the whole economy and contributing to the stabilization and the peace,” he notes.
The farmers’ aspirations are not only to feed their fellow countrymen but also to be a major grain supplier for the region. Musa Musa, a farmer from Afgoye says they have capacity for massive production but need support for it to be marketed extensively.
“They told us, we are very glad, most of the maize we were bringing to Somalia from abroad, we will stop and then we will take your maize for the people of Somalia. And even the people of East Africa if possible. We can produce so much maize and many other grains if we get help. The only help which we need is to get market for our maize. We can produce the maize in any quantity they need,” he says.
Farming in Somalia, like other sectors has been greatly affected by the conflict, stretching over 2 decades, bringing all activity to a halt while the police suffered severe famine.
Today, the country however enjoys relative peace facilitated by the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), which has made it possible for such activities to take off. The farmers remain hopeful that this milestone will be the beginning of many others to come.
End.

Footage of African Union Mission in Somalia - Unravel Travel TV
STORY: Members of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) are conducting daily patrols in the southern port city of Kismayo in Somalia. Fierce fighting broke out between rival militias fighting for control of the town earlier this month. The patrols are conducted by Kenyan and Sierra Leonean troops serving with the AU Mission, and have helped restore relative calm to the country's second largest city. Kismayo is located just over 500 kilometers southwest of Mogadishu - the capital. The city and its port were formerly under the control of Islamist extremist group al Shabaab until October last year. The severely weakened al Qaeda-linked group was pushed out by Somali National Forces supported by AMISOM's Kenyan contingent, as has been the case in most Somali towns. At the Kismayo Gener...

For 16 years following the collapse of the Siad Barré regime in 1991, Somalia remained the only country in the world without an effective central government. Six months of relative stability under the rule of the Union of Islamic Courts was brought to a rapid close in the final days of 2006, as Ethiopian militia allied to the forces of a transitional government (which was formed in Kenya in 2004, but had never assumed power) took over the capital Mogadishu. In January 2007 President Abdullahi Yusuf entered Mogadishu for the first time since taking office in 2004. International response to the situation in Somalia has to date been insufficient, from both a political and humanitarian point of view.

STORY: Members of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) are conducting daily patrols in the southern port city of Kismayo in Somalia. Fierce fighting broke out between rival militias fighting for control of the town earlier this month. The patrols are conducted by Kenyan and Sierra Leonean troops serving with the AU Mission, and have helped restore relative calm to the country's second largest city. Kismayo is located just over 500 kilometers southwest of Mogadishu - the capital. The city and its port were formerly under the control of Islamist extremist group al Shabaab until October last year. The severely weakened al Qaeda-linked group was pushed out by Somali National Forces supported by AMISOM's Kenyan contingent, as has been the case in most Somali towns. At the Kismayo General Hospital, victims of the fighting are still being treated. But Somalia's decades of conflict have taken their toll. The hospital has only two doctors and lacks proper facilities and medical personnel. Mohamed Jama says he is lucky to have survived the bullet that hit him in the arm and chest during the clashes. His relatives and friends had no other choice but to rush him here. "The hospital does not have medication and does not have doctors, but we have nowhere else to go," Jama said. The United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, Philippe Lazzarani paid a visit to Kismayo to assess the situation on the ground. He met with community leaders and visited the victims. " I just visited the hospital of Kismayo, it has been absolutely remarkable the way the situation has been dealt by the local civil society here," said Lazzarani. "I told them that the UN and the international organisations will continue their support." Kismayo's port, once a supply route for the al Shabaab militants and a major source of revenue, is now registering an increasing flow of commercial vessels from as far as the UAE. With increased security, ships like the Liberty Aura, dock at this port at least twice monthly - ferrying food, building materials and even cosmetics. Hashi Ahmed Mohamed is the vessel's agent in Kismayo, and he says things have changed for the better here. "Business is better because of the security situation that has improved since the KDF arrived in Kismayo. There has been a big difference and we can now do our businesses freely," said Hashi. AMISOM forces in Kismayo got a boost in the fight against al Shabaab, with the recent deployment of the last batch of troops from the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF). The West African troops are the fifth country to provide troops for the African Union forces in Somalia, joining Burundi, Djibouti, Uganda and Kenya. The RSLAF troops conduct joint operations with the Kenyan contingent in support of the Somali National Army (SNA) as they provide security in the Jubaland region of the country. After a long day spent patrolling in Kismayo, many of the soldiers join other Muslim faithful around the region and the world, to pray for peace and break their fast in observance of the Holy Month of Ramadan.

SHOTLIST
STORY:
A convoy of military vehicles makes its way to a secluded area in the Medina District of Mogadishu.
Since the departure of extremist group al Shabaab in 2011, Somalia’s National Security Forces and their African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) partners, have been collecting and destroying unexploded ordnance (UXOs) from all over the Somali capital.
Explosive stockpiles, weapons, ammunition caches and Improvised Explosive Device (IED) abandoned by the besieged al Qaeda-linked group continue to pose grave threats to civilians, government soldiers and AMISOM troops.
This is in addition to the detritus of war left after decades of civil conflict.
“These IEDs, there are a lot of ammunition in this country. He have to make very hard work to collect, destroy it and to sensitise the citizens to know that the IED is very dangerous for the life and for people who live in this country,” said Colonel Salvator Niyongoma, the Burundian AMISOM information officer charged with liaising with the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS).
Since its inception in Somalia, UNMAS has trained over 1,000 Somali police, AMISOM and humanitarian staff, not only in IED detection, removal, counter-IED
operations and medical procedures but in disposal as well.
Private James Kasekende - of the Ugandan contingent of AMISOM - was one of the trainees and is now a Explosive Ordnance Team (EOD) leader.
“It is very important to destroy these things, because you know if they are like that, these guys, we call them al Shabaab, they can pick them, they get the explosives in them, then they use them to make homemade bomb which they can use to target our convoys and their fellow Somalis, so that why we have to demolish them. To make sure that the whole of Somalia is free of these things,” Kasekende said.
Kasekende and his team, alongside their Burundian counterparts and UNMAS mentors, endeavor to demolish a stockpile of UXOs each week. They detonated about 75 kilograms of explosives on this outing under strict safety guidelines that are closely coordinated with local government officials.
According to UNMAS, nearly every community in south-central Somalia suffers from a degree of Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) contamination and few have the support or capacity to deal with these threats.
The UN department reports that more than 15,000 items of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) were safely destroyed.

DATELINE: 20 JANUARY 2014, KISMAYO, SOMALIA
STORY:
Somalia today (20th January) took a step further towards institution of an all-inclusive federal system, with the inauguration of the Jubba Interim Administration Executive Council.
The administration was recognized by the Somali Federal Government in August last year and the Executive Council launched today, is comprised of the President, his two Deputies and 10 ministers.
The ceremony comes as a result of months of reconciliation efforts, championed by IGAD brokered talks held in Addis Ababa last year.
A reconciliation conference was then held in Mogadishu in November last year, followed by a two day visit to Kismayo by the Somali President H.E Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud, to strengthen the reconciliation drive.
Speaking during the ceremony, the Head of United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia, Nicholas Kay noted that today’s events are significant in the country’s history and pledged the support of the international community;
“Today is a demonstration that you are not alone, the international community is here in impressive presence. From AU, IGAD, EU from all corners and the UN is here and we will stay here and we will help you to build a better future for you and for your children, I thank you,” he stated.
The leader of the Jubba Interim Administration Ahmed Sheikh Mohamed Islam expressed his gratitude to AMISOM for helping restore the peace that has allowed for such processes to take root.
He also challenged his administration to ensure that economic activity is revived, noting that poverty and unemployment create room for civil war and exploitation of the population by al Shabaab insurgents.
“This is the moment to do something. The people of Jubbaland and the people of Somalia need us to do something. It is hunger that creates al Shabaab. Problems create enmity. Unemployment fuels clan conflict. A bad economy creates civil war. In order for us to overcome this, we must collectively depend on ourselves and on each other. We need to expend our resources and tap our potential and maximize what we can do for ourselves and the international community should support us with the resources we will require,” he appealed.
The Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Mission in Somalia (SRCC), Ambassador Mahamat Saleh Annadif congratulated the new administration and the people of Somalia, upon this major achievement.
“We are witnessing a historical event today, but above all, an event which symbolizes hope, the hope for peace and stability in Somalia. What has happened in Jubbaland is an example to follow for the other regions, in accordance to the Somali Federal constitution, but above all it allows them to reconcile. Puntland just gave us another positive example by organizing very good elections. We are hoping that the new administration can accelerate things. Their African brothers, AMISOM, will always support them and we promise that the year 2014 will be a crucial year in the fight against terrorism in Somalia,” he said.
The ceremony was attended by senior officials from AMISOM, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia, the European Union, IGAD, as well as representatives from Sweden, Ethiopia and Kenya.
Also in attendance was a high level delegation from the Federal Republic of Somalia, Puntland and Members of Parliament, led by the deputy speaker Jaylani Nur Ikar.
The inauguration of the Jubba Interim Administration Executive Council comes two weeks after Puntland elected its leadership, showing the positive steps taken by Somalia, to end clan conflict and establish an effective federal system.
The Interim administration is still charged with establishing a regional assembly and is expected to hold polls in two years’ time to have an elected federal government in place.
The interim administration consists of Gedo, Lower Juba and Middle Juba regions, with Kismayo, as its main city.
Somalia is on the path to instituting an all-inclusive federal system, with support from African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and the international community.

STORY:
It’s a busy day at the barracks of ‘Leo Battalion 1’ who serve with the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF).
Soldiers here have been packing gear and conducting last-minute checks on equipment for several days now, in preparation for their deployment to Somalia, where they will become the latest contingent to join the ranks of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).
An advance team from the Sierra Leonean contingent will leave for Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya today (April 2, 2013) from where they will make their way to their posts in southern Somalia, operating alongside AMISOM’s Kenyan contingent.
“We will be joining in the rest of the other contingents in AMISOM to ensure that we will be able to implement the African Union mandate in Somalia. The peace process is currently on enforcement, however the news is telling people that Somalia is getting back to where it was, so our main focus now is to assist in the stabilization of Somalia,” said the RSLAF’s Lt. Colonel Abubakar Conteh.
The West African troops will form AMISOM’s fifth national contingent, after Burundi, Djibouti, Kenya and Uganda.
“We are now partakers of global peace enhancement, and of course during our own ten years of civil war, people came from different countries to support our peace achievement, and now that we have the opportunity to reciprocate that particular aspect, we are very happy,” said Lt. Salieu Sankoh, referring to the international peacekeeping troops that helped end Sierra Leone’s civil conflict that lasted from 1991-2002.
“I’m happy because this shows that our country is improving, we are now members of the international community, our soldiers are being called up for peacekeeping missions, it makes me really happy,” added Ansu Kamara, who lives in the capital Freetown.
The AU Peace and Security Council authorized the integration of a contingent of RSLAF into AMISOM early last year. Since then AMISOM troops in support of the Federal Government of Somalia have pushed Al Qaeda affiliated al Shabaab terrorists from much of south-central Somalia.

For 16 years following the collapse of the Siad Barré regime in 1991, Somalia remained the only country in the world without an effective central government. Six months of relative stability under the rule of the Union of Islamic Courts was brought to a rapid close in the final days of 2006, as Ethiopian militia allied to the forces of a transitional government (which was formed in Kenya in 2004, but had never assumed power) took over the capital Mogadishu. In January 2007 President Abdullahi Yusuf entered Mogadishu for the first time since taking office in 2004.
International response to the situation in Somalia has to date been insufficient, from both a political and humanitarian point of view. The principal focus has been a peace process lead by the IGAD (Inter-Governmental Authority on Development) in Kenya, which led to the creation of the transitional parliament in 2004. This development was seen as positive for the future of Somalia, and was welcomed by the African Union as progress towards peace and stabilization of the country; but the fact remains that antagonism between clans is still very strong. Deep rivalries between regional states persist, threatening the peace process and aggravating the humanitarian crisis.
Over a million Somalis have sought refuge worldwide, and the conflict has threatened the stability of neighbouring countries. This situation is symptomatic of broader international neglect of Somalia. Financial support from donors has failed to provide the level of political commitment and technical assistance required for success.

Fatima grows up somewhere in the vast steppe of Somalia. The drought in 2011 and Al Shabab's attacks and pressure caused many nomads to flee their homes and walk for days and weeks through the empty land to arrive at a refugee camp in Mogadishu, Kenya or Ethiopia. Fatima loses almost everything. With only her mother she arrives in Mogadishu in a capital that is destroyed by ongoing civil war.

This is a film we produced for Kindernothilfe (KNH) a German based humanitarian aid and relief organization focusing on the need of children.
www.kindernothilfe.de
While this was a promotional video we tried to focus on one local person that has benefited from the help and assistance KNH provided in Somalia.
Production time was three days in Mogadishu which was extremely short. Though the Islamist leading power Al-Shabab had just left the city a few weeks earlier and foreign aid organizations then got access Mogadishu was in a state of anarchy. Different militia and foreign troops like the African Union tried to control the city. We were one of the first western journalists having access to areas like the Bakara Market that was once linchpin for raw materials like gold and diamonds between Africa and the Arab World. Working closely with a local Somali partner of KNH helped us a lot getting access to different areas. Still for security reasons we could mostly just spend a short amount of time at one place before leaving to another. All the time being surrounded by two pick-up vans loaded with armed security guys made it difficult to get a much wanted natural and authentic atmosphere.
Post Production was done in Africa and Germany. Out of several hours of interview with Fatima (name changed due to security) that we transcripted during the curfew in the early mornings and evenings we built a narrative that was later voiced-over. Initially we wanted to keep the original voice and subtitle the whole story but as it was made for a German audience and because of distraction from the pictures we ended up letting a German production company do the voice-over.

Yes, I'm saying that it's all lies
http://gagnauga.is/index.php?Fl=Greinar&ID;=169

Yes. You heard what I said. All of it. It's all a bunch of lies. I know that it is a shocking claim to many, that our trusted officials in concert with our reliable mass media actually participated in deliberate deception designed to get us to accept war, but deal with it. I'm making it.
Our biggest moral obligation is ensuring that wars are not waged against people under false pretenses. War is the most disgusting and horrible thing you can inflict on any person.
As you read this article I am sure you will find there are a number of things that will surprise you. After researching the situation for months I assure you I have investigated as many sides of the story as possible. But I did reach a clear conclusion and I will not shy away from openly expressing the views that I have formed during this process.
What we have been seeing recently in the media, this time with a special emphasis on the online community, is the most sophisticated propaganda firework display we have ever witnessed. It’s no surprise so many people have been duped.
But a lie can travel the world before the truth has tied it’s shoe laces. But I believe that once the laces have been tied and the truth starts walking, eventually it’s gonna get to people.
There are at least two sides to every story
None of us could possibly have avoided hearing NATO’s side of the story and the reasons and justifications given for Gaddafi’s removal and how military intervention is necessary to protect Libyan citizens.
But are you sure you’ve heard both sides? Have you heard Gaddafi’s perspective on this issue? Or have you just heard “his side” as represented by the mainstream western media? If so I can start by telling you that his words, and the words of his son, Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi have been deliberately misinterpreted and edited out of context to create simple soundbite propaganda to influence people.
You will find that there is a completely different side of this story that is being completely ignored. It is not even being debated for it's merits, it simply is not talked about at all in the mainstream media.
Think about it. How much do you really know about Libya? Did you in all honesty know anything about the country before these events started unfolding? If I would have asked you back in February 10 questions about Libya and it’s affairs, how many do you think you would have answered correctly? And how much do you honestly know about what is going on there now?
I often find it intriguing how people tend to think they are qualified to give their view on things that in reality they know next to nothing about. They might have vague ideas generated by the mainstream media, biased textbooks and general pre-conceived notions, but not an actual thorough understanding of the country and it’s people and customs.
I had a discussion with a guy at a local bar the other day and I began the conversation by asking if he could tell me on what continent Libya was. Neither he nor his friend could answer correctly, picking Europe and Asia as their educated guesses. For some reason this guy still felt that his take on the situation was more accurate than mine, even as I told him I had been spending weeks investigating the matter. For those of you confused the correct answer is Africa.
I want to ask a simple question to make a simple case? Can you name me one current Libyan government official? You’re not allowed to say Gaddafi. Who holds the position of “Secretary of the General People’s Assembly” a position comparable to that of prime minister, although with a slightly different emphasis as he does not represent a political party and does not alone hold significant power. Did you even know that such a position exists in Libya and that he is elected by the people?
The less you know about something, the easier it is to deceive you.
My intention for exposing your potential and likely ignorance on this subject is not an attempt to show that I’m smarter or better than you. As I found out myself researching this article I knew remarkably little about Libya. And that is my point.
The mainstream media is focusing entirely on a set of news stories that have the specific intention of gathering support for military action and actively suppressing any story that would lead to people opposing it. This pattern will be exposed clearly as this article progresses.
It’s no wonder we don’t know much about Libya. Of course it gets confusing with all the different stories we hear of dictators and tyrants oversees. It is difficult to be an expert on all nations in the world. Just consider how many nations have existed and how long and rich each of their history is and how complex and

STORY:
Mogadishu International seaport is bustling with activity as Somalia emerges from decades of civil war that brought this once thriving port to its knees. Today, business has picked up with trucks arriving to offload tons of cargo from ships that are lining its harbour.
Ships come from as far as Dubai and Pakistan with various goods to be sold in Somalia, now that there is relative peace and following the ousting of the al Shabaab militia that had control of the city until August 2011.
With the increase in traffic on the sea, work opportunities are on the rise for ordinary Somalis who work the port as casual labours.

We used to come to the port to look for work but there was nothing. Now there are many ships here, the port is full and others having been waiting for days at sea waiting to dock.”
The years of war have taken a toll on the port, facilities are inadequate and ships have to spend days offloading their cargo, while others wait out at sea for their turn. The port has seen an increase in the number of cargo ships, with numbers up to 35 per month, giving much needed revenue for the country and the newly elected government, that has the task of rebuilding the nation’s basic infrastructure.
The Safina 2 vessel has been sailing these waters for over ten months now and business is good. This recent journey back to Somalia took them ten days out at sea.

After two decades of war, Somalia is seeing signs of hope after African Union Peacekeepers, with support from the United Nations, took control of Mogadishu and other parts of the country that were strongholds of the Islamic militant group al Shabaab. Already there are thousands of Somalis retuning home and business in the city is on the rise.
The United Nations Security Council extended the mandate of the African Union Peacekeeping force in Somalia (AMISOM) this week for another four months.

Landmark speech by Hizbullah Secretary General - delivered on the 20st of March 2002 (6th Muharram 1423) regarding the recently (at that time recently) US imposed so-called "War on Terrorism" - following the attacks on the World Trade Centre Towers in New York.
This version has English and French Subtitles.
"The racial discrimination towards the blacks is still persisting in every aspect. Moreover, there is a racial discrimination towards the Red Indians who are the original inhabitants of the country. ...I tell you frankly that if it wasn't for the determined willingness, ... and fight of the Palestinian people, the Americans and their civilization would have decided to solve that problem of...Palestinians just like they did with the Indians. This is the picture that lies in the mind of the American." --Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah - Muharram 7, 1423
The Secretary General of Hizbullah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah(HA), addressing the people on the seventh night of Muharram for the year 1423 (March 20, 2002)
In this lecture, Sayyed Hassan(HA), explains the roots of Zionist occupation and American colonialism and so-called "New World Order", this is well worth reading.
In the Name of Allah the most Beneficent and most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah the lord of the world, and may peace and Allah's praises be upon our master and prophet, the purifier of our sins, and the love of our hearts Mohammed ibn Abdullah followed by his pure progeny, rightful followers, and all the martyrs and mujahideen for Allah's teachings since the birth of Adam until the day of judgment.
May peace be upon you my lord and master Abu Abdullah Al Hussein, and upon those spirits who are floating around thy grave.
I send you my adoration as long as night follows day.
I ask my dear Allah to keep me committed to continuously visit thee and thy family.
May peace be upon Al Hussein, Ali the son of Al Hussein, the sons of Al Hussein, and the followers of Al Hussein.
Dear brothers and sisters, May peace be upon you all;
Allah says in his Glory book Verily, Fir'aun (Pharaoh) exalted himself in the land and made its people sects, weakening (oppressing) a group (i.e. Children of Israel) among them: killing their sons, and letting their females live. Verily, he was of the Mufsidûn (i.e. those who commit great sins and crimes, oppressors, tyrants). And We wished to do a favor to those who were weak (and oppressed) in the land, and to make them rulers and to make them the inheritors, And to establish them in the land, and We let Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and Hâmân and their hosts receive from them that which they feared.
Let's remember some of the words in my speech I read to you on the first night.
I said that Al Hussein may peace be upon him, rose up and fought with the very few members of his family and his companions. He was protecting Islam, the values of Islam, and the existence of this religion, in order to prevent its termination, transformation, vanishing, or the manipulation of its teachings in an aim to send the people back to the early days of ignorance.
I added saying that there are many challenges at this time in which we are living. The declaration of war by the American Administration these days is nothing but a war on Islam, on the values of Islam, on the understandings of Islam, on the Quraan of Islam, and on the Prophet of Islam on the grounds that the existence this religion lives among the people of this nation and its Muslim followers.
I would like to stand up today in the atmosphere of this declaration of war to try and comprehend, explain, and realize the issues widely surrounding us. Consequently we'll realize our stand, the enemy we are facing, and the sort of reality or fact we are living in at this present time.
When we go back and read some of the words or phrases of the American president Bush speeches during the past few days, weeks and months, we will find that some of his words and phrases identified the title of this war.
For example, from what he said: it is the responsibility of each American at the present time to guarantee the domination and the spread of the American values in other parts of this world. I repeat the domination and the spread of the American values in other parts of this world. He spoke these words while he was addressing his officers and soldiers, encouraging them to be patient, endure and tolerate the difficulties.
He told them we are fighting for the values of civilization (of course it would be the materialistic American civilization!). He promises to send forces to this country or that in more than one occasion, and that he aims at transferring the values of the American society to the various countries, societies, and states, since terror cannot be exterminated by the means of military and security only. Yet he says it should be fought by means of culture, which means that we should wipe out the culture that gives birth to terrorists and uprisings, in order to replace it

DATELINE: 6th MARCH 2014 MOGADISHU, 16 AUGUST MARCH 2013, AFGOYE, SOMALIA
STORY
Somali farmers have for the first time been able to supply high quality food to the UN’s World Food Program (WFP), providing supplies to be used to feed fellow countrymen. Farmers from South-central Somalia have sold 200 metric tons of high quality maize grain to WFP, which is to supply areas within the country that have inadequate food.
This is a major breakthrough for the farmers, especially coming from an area that faced severe famine less than three years ago. In 2011, the United Nations declared that 4 million people in Somalia suffered food crisis, as the country suffered the worst drought to affect the East African region in 60 years.
The farmers were supported by the European Union, Austria as well as the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Food Programme (WFP). Under the program, the farmers were trained by experts from FAO and WFP on different aspects including grading their grain, post-harvest handling as well as storage and warehouse management. These skills have been essential in ensuring good quality for the grain that meets the international standards required for purchase by WFP.
Luca Alinovi, FAO’s outgoing representative for Somalia says their focus was on improving the quality of the farming in Afgoye.
“FAO is the organization that helped the farmers, the local institutions to improve their agriculture and FAO’s role was to make sure that the farmers get all the knowledge and capacity to strengthen their productive capacity in order to meet the standards that are required by WFP to purchase the food, which is very complicated, normally it takes several seasons. The beauty of this thing is that the farmers in Afgoye were so good that in one season we were able to produce as per the international standards, which is required by WFP for international purchase,” he says.
For Somali’s Minister for Agriculture, Abdi Ahmed Mohamed the revamping of the sector is significant to efforts aimed at reviving the economy, which has also been strained by decades of war.
“Despite the 20 years of conflict in Somalia, the bread or the anjeera in the plates of the Somali people were produced by mainly from the Somalis. So farmers have been always engaged in the production. Our plan now is to revive the agricultural sector. Its recovery is not only a matter of producing agricultural products, it’s about recovering the whole economy and contributing to the stabilization and the peace,” he notes.
The farmers’ aspirations are not only to feed their fellow countrymen but also to be a major grain supplier for the region. Musa Musa, a farmer from Afgoye says they have capacity for massive production but need support for it to be marketed extensively.
“They told us, we are very glad, most of the maize we were bringing to Somalia from abroad, we will stop and then we will take your maize for the people of Somalia. And even the people of East Africa if possible. We can produce so much maize and many other grains if we get help. The only help which we need is to get market for our maize. We can produce the maize in any quantity they need,” he says.
Farming in Somalia, like other sectors has been greatly affected by the conflict, stretching over 2 decades, bringing all activity to a halt while the police suffered severe famine.
Today, the country however enjoys relative peace facilitated by the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), which has made it possible for such activities to take off. The farmers remain hopeful that this milestone will be the beginning of many others to come.
End.
