The explosion went off near the town while African Union convoys travelling near the town, causing untold number of casualty, a witness, who asked to be anonymous, said. He says an African Union water-tank carrier was destroyed in the bomb explosion. The African Union forces reportedly opened fire to response to the attack. The forces sealed off at the scene of the bomb attack and launched an operation over the attack. No arrest has been reported. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Friday’s explosion. But, such attacks are often carried out by Al Qaeda linked Al Shabaab group. The Al-Shabab has been waging an insurgency in Somalia for more than 10 years. A 22,000-strong African Union force is in the country to help the government fight the al- Qaeda-linked militants. The group has been driven out of many urban areas since 2011, however, it still controls territory in rural areas and carries out gun attacks and bombings on military and civilian targets. https://mareeg.com/deadly-explosion-hits-au-vehicle-near-marka-town/ EUTM - SOMALIA 2 EUTM - SOMALIA 18/08/2018 Somalia: Farmajo Shakes Security Chiefs to Rump Up War On Al-Shabaab 16 August 2018 The president of Somalia's Federal government, Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo has made a major security shake-up on Thursday to step up the fight against Al-Shabaab.

This is the highest ranking position for a female police officer in Somalia. It has been a long journey for Gen Zakia ever since she made the decision to relocate from London in 2013 to Mogadishu to be part of the national building of a country she is patriotic about. In June 2014, she was appointed the new Director of Community Policing at the Somali Police Force. The first woman in many years to hold a senior position within the SPF. She served as the Secretary General of the Hanoolaato Party, a Somali youth advocacy group. Although born in Somalia she was raised and educated in Sweden and UK. In January this year she decided to relocate permanently to my native country. She hold a Master’s degree in International Relations and a postgraduate certificate in Diplomacy in Islam. When first arrived in Somalia she worked as Programme Manager and Researcher for the Heritage Institute for Policy Studies – Somalia’s first think-tank and was a part-time university lecturer at the University of Somalia. https://www.radiodalsan.com/en/2018/08/17/gen-zakia-ahmed-the-story-of-a-diaspora- woman-who-rose-to-become-somalias-first-general-highest-ranking-police/ EUTM - SOMALIA 6 EUTM - SOMALIA 18/08/2018 Somali Puntland forces recapture strategic town from al Shabaab - officer GAROWE, Somalia (Reuters) - Military forces of Somalia’s semi-autonomous Puntland region have retaken a strategic town from Islamic militant group al Shabaab, an officer said on Friday. Captain Saiid Mohamed Diriye said his forces retook Af Urur without a fight. The town is important because the main road that links the cities of Garowe, Bosaso and the Somali capital Mogadishu passes nearby. The militants fled into the hills and we are pursuing them,” Diriye told Reuters from Af Urur. Al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab fighters had captured the town - which they and Puntland forces have fought over several times - last month, he said.. Al Shabaab wants to expel the African Union-mandated peace keeping force AMISOM from Somalia, topple its central government and establish an administration based on its strict interpretation of Islamic sharia law. Attacks are relatively rare in Puntland, which has its own government and security forces patrolling its territory on the northeastern tip of the Horn of Africa, jutting out into the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea. https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-somalia-security/somali-puntland-forces-recapture- strategic-town-from-al-shabaab-officer-idUKKBN1L21LV?rpc=401& EUTM - SOMALIA 7 EUTM - SOMALIA 18/08/2018 Ahmed Madoobe Warns The Federal Government Against Interference Of His Administration 16 August 2018 Jubaland State President Ahmed Mohamed Islam Madobe warned top officials of the federal government of Somalia not to interfere with the internal affairs of his administration. The warning comes after the federal government of Somalia appointed a new head of National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) for Jubaland without consulting the Kismayo-based administration. “The government appointment of national security intelligence officers to Kismayo in order to create disharmony among the people of Jubbaland and their administration,” said Madobe. Ahmed Madobe added that “The government’s responsibility was to bring the Somali people together, to ensure their security but not to create conflict in a stable region.” We call the federal government officials to respect the law of the country, and not appoint whoever person they feel without any consultation with the administration governing the region. Jubaland administration sent back to Mogadishu, a government appointed NISA head for the region after the federal government in Mogadishu appointed the officer with any consultation with the Jubbaland administration. http://somaliamediamonitoring.org/august-17-2018-daily-monitoring-report/ EUTM - SOMALIA 8 EUTM - SOMALIA 18/08/2018 AMISOM Starts Vacating Mogadishu Stadium 16 August 2018 The first batch of AMISOM forces have vacated Mogadishu Stadium, which is the biggest sporting facility in the county, the mission confirmed. The continental forces have been occupying the stadium since 2011, when Al-Shabaab militants were pushed out of the city. Head of AMISOM mission, Ambassador Francisco Madeira said, he is pleased that the premises will be handed over to the Somali government. “One of the first deliverables of AMISOM’s Transition Plan, is to vacate the Mogadishu Stadium. I have been briefed by AMISOM Engineers, on the progress made,” Ambassador Madeira said in a Twitter post, “I am very encouraged to hear that we are ahead of schedule to return the stadium to the people of Somalia.” The development comes less than a month, after Somali Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire called on AU forces to vacate Mogadishu Stadium. Somali Sports associations have on several occasion, called on AMISOM to vacate the facility, which had been paralysed since 1991 when the central government collapsed. The various groups fighting in the country’s during the civil war have always occupied the stadium. After the fall of the government led by late Mohamed Siad Barre 1990, Mogadishu Stadium was occupied by US peacekeepers. More than a decade after US forces withdrew from Somalia, Ethiopian forces took over the facility and had been occupying until 2009. The stadium was subsequently occupied by Al-Shabaab, which used it for a training base before the group was forced out of the capital.

  • Plan of Action Somalia
    Running head: PLAN OF ACTION_SOMALIA PRIME MINISTER 1 Plan of Action_Somalia Prime Minister PLAN OF ACTION_SOMALIA PRIME MINISTER 2 Plan of Action_Somalia Prime Minister Implementing President's Mission and Vision The incoming Prime Minister must work closely with President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud in the continual implementation of Vision 2016. A central focus is inclusive politics in action. This cooperative approach between the prime minister and the president will serve to reaffirm the government’s desire to create a culture of collaboration. Therefore the incoming prime minister must first acknowledge the missteps of the former Prime Ministers. Journalist Yusuf M. Hassan offered a pointed assessment of such missteps in a recent report. According to Hassan, former Prime Minister Dr. Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed was engaged in a venerable power and positional conflict with the President (Hassan, 2014). Since 2004, Somalia has dealt with socio-political conflict resulting in historic institutional collapse and economic ruin. Therefore, it is important that the country continue the process of reversing international perception, regarding the government’s capacity to work collaboratively. Historically past presidents and prime ministers have been at the center of documented disputes, leading to inefficiency and ineffective government operations (Hassan, 2014). Specifically troubling is the fact that confidence motions by the Federal Parliament have resulted in the removal of seven prime ministers in the past ten years. Although some experts have called for the abolition of the prime minister position, its continued existence is a necessity. Symbolically it represents the balance of shared power which mitigates the possibility of abuse (Hassan, 2014). PLAN OF ACTION_SOMALIA PRIME MINISTER 3 This power struggle highlights the need for the prime minister to clarify President Hassan’s operative vision, for their role.

  • Al Qaeda and African Arc of Instability
    CIVIL - MILITARY FUSION CENT RE PRESENTS Rebuilding Somalia: Security Challenges for the Post-Conflict Nation Comprehensive Information on Complex Crises May 2013 Nikola Kovač Assistant Desk Officer [email protected] This document discusses the security-related challenges facing Somalia as the country looks to rebuild in the af- termath of a twenty year civil war. Related information is available at www.cimicweb.org. Hyperlinks to source material are highlighted in blue and underlined in the text. All maps are hyperlinked to their source locations. Over the past fifteen months, Somalia achieved significant recovering from two turbulent decades of conflict. In 1990, following the fall of the Siad Barre dictator- ship, the country failed to form a viable government and devolved into a civil war which lasted over twenty years. The radical Islamist group al Shabaab emerged as a major security challenge when the militants gained control of large parts of southern and central Somalia in late 2009. However in mid-2012, Kenyan forces, Ethiopian forces and the United Nations (UN) mandated African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) succeeded in routing al Shabaab from Mogadishu and other key cities. The landmark battle of October 2012 drove al Shabaab from Kismayo, its last major stronghold, reports BBC. AMISOM’s success and Mogadishu’s security improve- ment paved the way for significant political achievements. Somalia installed a new parliament for the first time since the early 1990s when the Federal Government of Source: NYT Somalia was formed on 20 August 2012, upon termination of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) man- date1, reports The Guardian.

  • Somalia Risk Assessment 2014 INSCT MIDDLE EAST and NORTH AFRICA INITIATIVE
    INSCT MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA INITIATIVE INSTITUTE FOR NATIONAL SECURITY AND COUNTERTERRORISM Somalia Risk Assessment 2014 INSCT MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA INITIATIVE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report, developed from open-source information including congressional and federal reports, academic articles, news media accounts, and NGO papers— concerns one of the most developmentally deficient and war-torn countries in the world. The name “Somalia” and the phrase “failed state” unfortunately have become synonymous. Since the 1991 overthrow of dictator Said Barre and the resulting civil war, successive incarnations of a Somali government have time and again attempted to rise above the seemingly perpetual instability and begin exerting state control. Since 2012, when an internationally supported government was installed in Mogadishu (the US recognized the government in January 2013), Somalia has taken baby steps toward restoring stability and security in parts of the country. The presence of forces from neighboring counties, such as Kenya and Ethiopia (as part of an African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM)), has brought a measure of stability to regions in the country’s south that were until recently controlled by non-state militias, FIGURE 1: Map of Somalia and Region (University of Texas). mainly the militant Islamic organization and Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Shabaab. But despite recent AMISOM battlefield gains and encouraging signs of increasing government capacity, the central government still controls only a portion of Mogadishu and almost no other territory in the rest of the country. And even these gains are precarious. This report will examine four topics that provide a cross-section of national security issues in Somalia: ! Defense Capabilities—Including Somalia’s attempts to re-build its national military, partnerships with friendly and donor nations, and the US military posture in East Africa.
