    European Union Training Mission Somalia PRESS SUMMARY 12th May 2018 “In ‘Media’ stat virtus” EUTM - SOMALIA 12/05/2018 U.S. military probes Somali civilian casualty in raid MOGADISHU, May 11 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. military said on Friday that it will investigate local reports that its forces killed civilians during an operation conducted in Somalia on Wednesday. The U.S. Africa Command (Africom), which oversees American troops on the African continent, said its special forces, in an advise-and-assist capacity, partnered in a Somali-led operation to disrupt and degrade al-Shabab's terrorist network near Bulcida on the outskirts of Afgoye in southern Somalia. "We are aware of reports alleging civilian casualties resulting from this operation, and we take these reports seriously. As with any allegations of civilian casualties we receive, U.S. Africa Command will review any information it has about the incident, including any relevant information provided by third parties," Africom said in a statement. "If the information supporting the allegation is determined to be credible, USAFRICOM will determine the next appropriate step," it added. Local officials said at least five people were killed during the operation that targeted key al-Shabab commanders. The militant group has several training camps in the area. At least ten civilians were killed in Barire in August 2017 forcing the government to compensate the families after it admitted those killed were civilians. The U.S. government however maintained the dead were al-Shabab terrorists although it did not offer details of the investigations. Survivors and relatives of the deadly raid in Barire had said they wanted blood money and an apology from the U.S.

In order to analyse the fact observation method has been used to collect data. Finding of the study reflects that Ethiopian national football is losing its position and credibility continuously in the last decade. It might be happened due to some socio-political issue the Ethiopian football federation, moreover for FIFA2014 Ethiopian national football team scored total 12 goals and conceded 21 goals and reached up to first qualifying round then Nigeria went to FIFA World Cup 2014. Further for FIFA 2018 (Russia), Ethiopian National Team reached up to second qualifying round and eliminated by COGO. Ethiopian Domestic football leagues are Premier League, Higher League and National League conducted every year, it is important to note that 70% winning position in Premier League went to one team i.e., Saint Gorge FC and rest 30% goes to other 15 playing teams. It clearly shows the lack of competitive balance in the most famous domestic league of a country. At the continent level in Champions League Country best domestic team scored 18th Rank out of 59 teams. In Super League (Winner of Champions League v/s Winners of Confederation Cup) Ethiopian football team has not seen anywhere.

  • 2021 COSAFA Cup TEAM NOTES
    2021 COSAFA Cup TEAM NOTES HISTORY MATCHES SCORERS FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION of ZAMBIA President: Andrew Kamanga Website: www.faz.co.zm Established: 1929 Affiliated to FIFA: 1964 Affiliated to CAF: 1964 Honours: 2012 Africa Cup of Nations winners; 1997, 1998, 2006, 2013, 2019 COSAFA Cup winners; 1984, 1991 East and Central African Senior Challenge Cup BRIEF HISTORY Zambia won both of the first two editions of the COSAFA Cup, but it took until 2006 for them to claim their third regional title. They are also the current holders having triumphed in South Africa in 2019. They have a formidable record, having lost just nine times in 57 COSAFA Cup appearances, not counting defeats in post-match penalty shootouts. It was the annual Southern African championship that in 1999 forced Zambia to give up their 15-year unbeaten record at Lusaka’s Independence Stadium when Angola surprised them in the semifinal. The same happened again in 2001, albeit only after a post-match penalty shootout and again in the 2004 final. Zambia’s first two COSAFA Cup victories were achieved away from home, drawing in Windhoek with Namibia in 1997 to win the mini-league and beating Zimbabwe in Harare a year later. Their triumph in 2006 was, however, in front of their own fans in Lusaka. In 2007 they lost on penalties to South Africa, while the South African Presidents XI knocked them out of the competition in the semifinals in 2008. The Zambians would go on to beat Madagascar 2-0 in the third-place play-off. They were finalists in 2009 in Zimbabwe, but ended up losing the decider 3-1 to their hosts, before getting revenge two years later when they defeated the Warriors 2-0 in the final.
