Desde el levantamiento parcial del embargo de armas en 2013, se han entregado a Somalia aproximadamente 20.000 armas y 75 millones de cartuchos de municiones. Aunque se han hecho considerables avances desde que se impuso por primera vez el embargo, Somalia todavía se enfrenta a multitud de problemas políticos y de seguridad. Es preciso insistir en la importancia de que se cumplan los requisitos de notificación tras el levantamiento parcial del embargo de armas, así como la de que se lleve a cabo una gestión eficaz y responsable de las armas y las municiones. A pesar de ello, el grado de cumplimiento ha sido sistemáticamente bajo. A lo largo del mandato, ningún envío de armas o municiones fue debidamente notificado de conformidad con los requisitos del Consejo de Seguridad. La gestión de armas y municiones siguió siendo deficiente, a pesar de que a principios de 2017 la Oficina del Asesor de Seguridad Nacional publicó nuevos procedimientos operativos estándar. Los registros de distribución a cargo del Arsenal Central de Halane en Mogadiscio carecían de precisión y coherencia hasta tal punto que no fue posible determinar con exactitud dónde, cuándo, por qué, cómo y a quién se habían asignado la mayor parte de las armas y municiones durante el primer semestre del mandato. Las restricciones impuestas por el Gobierno Federal de Somalia limitaron la capacidad del Grupo de Supervisión para Somalia y Eritrea para evaluar eficazmente los procedimientos de gestión y distribución de armas y municiones en la segunda mitad del mandato. Esas restricciones se mantuvieron a pesar de la carta enviada al Gobierno Federal por la Presidencia del Comité del Consejo de Seguridad dimanante de las resoluciones 751 (1992) y 1907 (2009) relativas a Somalia y Eritrea, en la que se subrayaba la importancia de que el Grupo de Supervisión tuviera pleno acceso al Arsenal Central de Halane y pudiera documentar sus existencias. Durante todo el mandato, el Grupo de Supervisión reunió pruebas sobre el desvío de equipo militar y documentó que algunas armas que se sabía que habían sido entregadas al Gobierno Federal —incluidas muchas procedentes de una remesa recibida a mediados de 2017— estaban en poder de comerciantes de armas en Mogadiscio y Baidoa. Muchas de esas armas probablemente fueron desviadas en pequeñas partidas por miembros no remunerados de las fuerzas de seguridad somalíes. Sin embargo, el Grupo de Supervisión también recibió informaciones concordantes según las cuales oficiales de alto rango de las fuerzas de seguridad estaban implicados en el desvío de armas en gran escala. El Grupo de Supervisión recibió valiosa información sobre las armas y municiones incautadas a Al-Shabaab tanto de la Misión de la Unión Africana en Somalia (AMISOM) como de la administración del Estado Sudoccidental, lo que le permitió rastrear algunas armas y comprender mejor la forma en que el grupo se abastece de material militar. Con todo, sigue siendo necesario recibir información con más regularidad por parte de la AMISOM, los estados miembros federados y en particular el Gobierno Federal en relación con el equipo militar capturado. El Gobierno Federal no proporcionó información alguna sobre el equipo militar incautado a Al- Shabaab por sus fuerzas, a pesar de las disposiciones específicas del Consejo de Seguridad según las cuales debe facilitar la inspección de ese equipo por el Grupo de Supervisión antes de redistribuirlo o destruirlo. La documentación del equipo militar incautado que fue interceptado mientras era trasladado del Yemen a Somalia, facilitada por las autoridades de Puntlandia en 18-16126 3/160 S/2018/1002 septiembre de 2017, permitió al Grupo de Supervisión rastrear armas y municiones hasta remesas entregadas a los Emiratos Árabes Unidos y la Arabia Saudita en 2015 y 2016. El Grupo de Supervisión también rastreó material hallado en posesión de un comerciante de armas de Bosaso en mayo de 2017, inicialmente introducido de contrabando desde el Yemen, hasta remesas adquiridas por los Estados Unidos de América. El Grupo de Supervisión siguió investigando las relaciones entre los traficantes de armas de Puntlandia y los proveedores yemeníes, que revelaron un vínculo con un facilitador de Al-Qaida designado por los Estados Unidos, Sayf Al-Qaida Abdulrab Salem Al-Hayashi, alias Sayf-Al-Baydani. Las conclusiones preliminares indican que es probable que Al-Hayashi esté asociado con Fares Mohammed Mana’a, importante comerciante de armas y ministro de estado en la administración hutí del Yemen, que en 2010 fue incorporado a la lista de sanciones establecida en virtud de la resolución 1844 (2010). Al-Shabaab sigue siendo la amenaza más inmediata para la paz, la seguridad y la estabilidad de Somalia. A pesar de los esfuerzos sostenidos de las fuerzas internacionales por eliminar el liderazgo de Al-Shabaab, en particular mediante el uso de ataques aéreos, la capacidad del grupo para llevar a cabo complejos ataques asimétricos en Somalia no disminuye. El 14 de octubre de 2017, Al-Shabaab hizo detonar un vehículo con un gran artefacto explosivo improvisado en el cruce de Zoobe en Mogadiscio, matando a casi 600 personas, en el ataque más mortífero contra la población civil cometido en la historia del país. Con una potencia estimada de más de 1.200 kg de equivalencia de TNT, fue probablemente el mayor artefacto explosivo jamás fabricado por Al-Shabaab. El Grupo de Supervisión siguió investigando la posibilidad de que Al-Shabaab esté fabricando explosivos caseros para utilizarlos en sus artefactos explosivos improvisados. Aunque no hay pruebas concluyentes de que Al-Shabaab esté produciendo explosivos de fabricación casera, los análisis de laboratorio han demostrado que el grupo sigue combinando explosivos de uso militar con componentes de explosivos caseros, como nitrato de potasio, en intentos probablemente fallidos de aumentar la potencia explosiva de sus artefactos improvisados. Varios estudios de casos de la financiación interna de Al-Shabaab revelaron que el grupo militante genera ingresos más que suficientes para mantener su insurgencia. Al-Shabaab sigue funcionando como gobierno en la sombra en las zonas que ya no controla directamente, recurriendo a un sistema centralizado de recaudación de impuestos que aplica de manera uniforme en las zonas meridional y central de Somalia. Solamente en un puesto de control en la región de Bay, el Grupo de Supervisión estima que Al-Shabaab genera unos 10 millones de dólares al año con el cobro de impuestos sobre el tránsito de vehículos y mercancías. Las operaciones financieras de Al- Shabaab, incluida la recaudación de ingresos y la remuneración de sus miembros, son facilitadas por los servicios que prestan entidades financieras y de telecomunicaciones escasamente reguladas. Después de una pausa en las principales operaciones de Al-Shabaab en los Estados Miembros de la región a partir de 2015, el 15 de febrero de 2018 la policía de Kenya interceptó un coche bomba procedente de El Adde (Somalia), con el que se pretendía cometer un importante ataque complejo en Nairobi. El vehículo transportaba rifles de tipo AK, inicialmente importados por el Gobierno Federal en 2013, lo que sugería que en el ataque estaba previsto que participaran “tiradores suicidas” siguiendo el modus operandi de las operaciones de Al-Shabaab en Mogadiscio. Tras el inicio de los ataques aéreos de los Estados Unidos en noviembre de 2017, la facción del Estado Islámico en el Iraq y el Levante (EIIL) de Puntlandia se mantuvo relativamente inactiva durante el mandato. Con todo, el EIIL llevó a cabo una campaña 4/160 18-16126 S/2018/1002 de asesinatos en el sur de Somalia, con un total de 50 víctimas, principalmente en Mogadiscio y Afgooye. Las investigaciones del Grupo de Supervisión confirmaron la existencia de una red del EIIL para cometer asesinatos, aunque aún no está claro si los asesinos estaban vinculados a la facción de Puntlandia desde el punto de vista operacional.

  • 6 North and South Ossetia: Old Conflicts and New Fears
    6 North and South Ossetia: Old conflicts and new fears Alan Parastaev Erman village in the high Caucasus mountains of South Ossetia PHOTO: PETER NASMYTH Summary The main source of weapons in South Ossetia during the conflict with Georgian forces in the early 1990s was Chechnya, but towards the end of the conflict arms were also obtained from Russian troops in North Ossetia. Following the end of the conflict in 1992, the unrecognised Republic of South Ossetia began to construct its own security structures. The government has made some attempts to control SALW proliferation and collect weapons from the population, as has the OSCE, though these programmes have had limited success. In North Ossetia it was much easier to acquire weapons from Russian military sources than in the South. North Ossetia fought a short war against the Ingush in 1992, and though relations between the two are now stable, North Ossetia is still very sensitive to events elsewhere in the North Caucasus. Recently, however, the increase in Russian military activity in the region has acted as a stabilising factor. Unofficial estimates of the amount of SALW in North Ossetia range between 20,000 and 50,000. 2 THE CAUCASUS: ARMED AND DIVIDED · NORTH AND SOUTH OSSETIA The years of The events at the end of the 1980s ushered in by perestroika – the move by the leader- conflict ship of the CPSU towards the democratisation of society – had an immediate impact on the social and political situation in South Ossetia and Georgia as a whole. In both Tbilisi and the South Ossetian capital Tskhinval national movements sprang to life which would in time evolve into political parties and associations.
