  • Article Monitoring Mogadishu

    Article Monitoring Mogadishu

    Article Monitoring Mogadishu Alice Hills University of Leeds, UK [email protected] Abstract Technology-based surveillance practices have changed the modes of policing found in the global North but have yet to influence police–citizen engagement in Southern cities such as Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. Based on the role played by monitoring in Mogadishu’s formal security plan and in an informal neighbourhood watch scheme in Waberi district, this article uses a policy- oriented approach to generate insight into surveillance and policing in a fragile and seemingly dysfunctional environment. It shows that while watching is an integral aspect of everyday life, sophisticated technologies capable of digitally capturing real-time events play no part in crime reporting or in the monitoring of terrorist threats, and information is delivered by using basic and inclusive methods such as word of mouth, rather than by mobile telephones or social media. Indeed, the availability of technologies such as CCTV has actually resulted in the reproduction and reinforcement of older models of policing; even when the need to monitor security threats encourages residents to engage with the task of policing, their responses reflect local preferences and legacy issues dating from the 1970s and 2000s. In other words, policing practice has not been reconfigured. In Mogadishu, as in most of the world, the policing task is shaped as much by residents’ expectations as by the technologies available. Introduction It is often assumed that the use of technologies capable of monitoring or capturing real-time events enables people to become more engaged in surveillance and policing.

    (i) THE SOCIAL STRUCTUBE OF SOumN SOMALI TRIB by Virginia I?lling A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of London. October 197]. (ii) SDMMARY The subject is the social structure of a southern Somali community of about six thousand people, the Geledi, in the pre-colonial period; and. the manner in which it has reacted to colonial and other modern influences. Part A deals with the pre-colonial situation. Section 1 deals with the historical background up to the nineteenth century, first giving the general geographic and ethnographic setting, to show what elements went to the making of this community, and then giving the Geledj's own account of their history and movement up to that time. Section 2 deals with the structure of the society during the nineteenth century. Successive chapters deal with the basic units and categories into which this community divided both itself and the others with which it was in contact; with their material culture; with economic life; with slavery, which is shown to have been at the foundation of the social order; with the political and legal structure; and with the conduct of war. The chapter on the examines the politico-religious office of the Sheikh or Sultan as the focal point of the community, and how under successive occupants of this position, the Geledi became the dominant power in this part of Somalia. Part B deals with colonial and post-colonial influences. After an outline of the history of Somalia since 1889, with special reference to Geledi, the changes in society brought about by those events are (iii) described.

    National Education Plan Somali Republic Ministry of Education, Culture & Higher Education National Education Plan. May 2011 1 National Education Plan Preface The collapse of central government of Somalia in 1991 and the civil war that erupted and the continues foreign intervention has caused total destruction of national institution especially those who were providing services to our citizen like health, education, water ad electricity institutions. The destruction has affected the economics of the country both Public and private properties. The country has became a place where there is no law and order and insecurity prevailed and killing, looting and displacement has become day to day with the live of Somalis. The ministry of education, culture and higher education and its department was among the sectors that were spared that resulted total closure of all offices and centers that was dealing with education services and most of education staffs left the country as refugees. It was early 1992, when Somali educationalists regrouped again to revive the education sector of the country to provide the education service that our people used to get from the national education institution that was not functioning at all. Education umbrellas, privately owned school, colleges and higher education institutions have been established to cover the services that the ministry of education was providing to the people before 1991. But again this effort could not provide quality free education throughout the country. The role of the international and local organization towards the education sector of Somalia together with the support of citizens has made the sector with little improved.
