  • Pillaging Somalia: the Dubious DP World
    Pillaging Somalia: The Dubious DP World- Ethiopia Deal By Faisal Roble March 7, 2018 ____________________________________________________ Baadida ninbaa kula deydeya, daalna kaa badane Oon doonahayn inaad heshana, daayin abidkaaye W/T. Qamaan Bulxan On March 1, 2018, the Dubai-owned DP World and the government of Ethiopia have concluded a dubious deal with the unrecognized secessionist region of Somaliland. This happened without notice to or approval from either the fledgling Parliament or the Executive branch of the Somali Federal Republic (SFR). Despite a Faustian pact between an African neighbor and a petrodollar Arab company across the Gulf of Aden, each being awarded 19% and 51% of the ownership of the Berbera Port, respectively, leaving only a trifling 30% for Somaliland, the deal is both illegal, and injurious to the stately interest of Somalia. The Ethio-DP World deal was signed in a makeshift office in Dubai. No one can have so far explained why and how Ethiopia garnered 19% of the ownership of a prime real estate (Berbera Port) that it neither owns nor invested any capital for the construction and modernization of said Port. The only public explanation thus came from Mohamed Hure Buba, a member of one of the opposition parties in Hargeisa, who in an interview said that DP World gave that 19% share to Ethiopia. The Ministry of Ports and Marine Transport of SFR issued a press release on March 2, 2018, declaring the dubious deal null and void, and warned that “the so-called agreement is defective and detrimental to the sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Somalia (SFR) and the unity of the country.” Moreover, the Prime Minister of Somalia, Hassan Khyre, issued a stern repudiation of the deal and pronounced it dead on arrival (DOA).

  • Cruising in the Twenty-First Century
    Chapter 1 Cruising in the Twenty-First Century he idea of a cruise vacation is almost mythic. Our perception of cruises Tis often based on idyllic images we’ve seen in movies and on television. Such images usually depict classic ocean liners, which are quite unlike the ships commonly used today. As well as being significantly larger, today’s ships are no longer designed primarily for travel but rather are large-scale, water-based resorts. Despite these significant changes in cruising and the cruise industry over the past fifty years, glamorous images of opulence and “class” have remained relatively intact. These elements frequently underlie the motivation for choosing a cruise vacation. Consumers are buying an image of what they believe a cruise will be—an image more informed by what cruising used to be. Most consumers, for example, still assume a cruise is all inclusive. This is no longer true, and most cruise lines have dropped claims of all inclusive- ness from their advertising and brochures. But this may not be obvious to consumers because cruise advertising is purposely abstract and scarce on concrete statements about the cruise or ship itself. Cruise advertising is full of “feel good” messages. Examples include Royal Caribbean’s “Get out there” commercials, which highlight activity and adventure, and Carnival’s dancing palm trees. These abstract ads leave viewers to focus on whatever is most appealing to them about a cruise vacation. The cruise industry enjoys an image that is more positive than deserved. This is in part a product of collectively spending more than a billion dollars a year on advertising and public relations.
