  • SOMALIA - May 2011
    Minority Rights Group International (MRG) - individual UPR submission - SOMALIA - May 2011 1. Introductory executive summary 1.1 The situation and struggle for minority rights in Somalia must be considered in the context of Somalia in the last 20 years of state collapse, civil war and resulting humanitarian disaster. Immense violations of basic human rights have affected all Somalis, majorities (Darod, Hawiye, Dir and Rahanweyn) and minorities alike (Bantu, Gaboye, Madhiban, Musse Deriyo, Tumal, Yibro, Benadiri, Barawani, Bajuni, Boni, Ashraf and Shekhal). However, majority groups benefit from a traditional clan structure that has afforded them protection and privilege not available to minorities, who, regardless of the conflict, continue to suffer marginalization and exclusion from mainstream economic, social and political life, thanks to a legacy of slavery, customary segregation, dispossession and displacement. Somalia’s minorities are diverse and not framed simply by elements of ethnic, religious or linguistic differentiation. Their diversity also rests on social and historical distinctions between minorities and the pastoralist majorities. 1.2 Civil war, and later an Islamist insurgency against a weak transitional government in south-central Somalia, have forced thousands of minorities from their homes and lands, both to other parts of Somalia and abroad. Minorities have been targeted due to lack of protection as well as, in some cases, for their religious or other traditional beliefs and practices. Through field research results, MRG has found that minority women, in particular, suffer egregious abuse in the context of displacement. In 2009, MRG’s researchers, visiting internally displaced person (IDP) camps in semi-autonomous Puntland in northeastern Somalia, were told of a disturbing and persistent pattern of rape of minority women, perpetrated by majority men and sometimes by members of the Puntland police, army or security service.

  • SOMALIA Building Human Rights in the Disintegrated State
    SOMALIA Building human rights in the disintegrated state 1. INTRODUCTION Human rights have been violently abused in Somalia throughout the past 25 years. Massive human rights violations during President Mohamed Siad Barre's rule from 1969 to 1991 were followed by the disintegration of the state and brutal civil wars marked by widespread atrocities against civilians as well as a horrific famine. A key question now is how respect for basic human rights can be attained after years of massive human rights abuses, civil war, outside intervention and seemingly intractable local political and factional conflicts. After nearly five years of no government, building respect for human rights cannot be solely dependent on the complex and lengthy process of peace-making, although peace between the armed factions is clearly essential for reconstruction. Since the state of Somalia collapsed in 1991 after the overthrow of President Mohamed Siad Barre's government, there has been no recognized government or effective legal structure. The constant danger of further massive human rights abuses by warring groups remains, despite the United Nations (UN) intervention in 1992. After the UN withdrawal in March 1995, there are still frequent flare-ups of fighting between the armed factions in Mogadishu and in other regions in the south, as well as in the breakaway self-declared "Somaliland Republic" in the northwest, and associated reports of human rights abuses. On the more positive side, there are several regions -- including in the northeast and parts of Somaliland -- which have been relatively little affected by political violence, armed conflict and human rights abuses since 1991.

De quelles informations dispose-t-on sur la situation des droits humains pour les membres de la caste des Gabooye en Somalie ? 2. Dans quelle mesure l’État somalien peut-il protéger les membres de la caste des Gabooye ? Les informations reposent sur une recherche limitée dans le temps (recherche rapide) dans des documents accessibles au public actuellement à disposition de l’OSAR. 2 Les Gabooye en Somalie 2.1 Clans et minorités en Somalie Les Gabooye (connus aussi sous le nom de Midgan, Madhiban et Musse Deriyo) ne constituent pas un clan, mais un groupe minoritaire. Selon un rapport de l’Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) de décembre 2012, les Gabooye (autre orthographe possible : Gaboye, aussi connu sous le nom de Midgan) forment un groupe minoritaire en Somalie et une « caste professionnelle » qui exerce des métiers traditionnels. Lors d’une présentation organisée en mai 2009 par l’Austrian Center for Country of Origin and Asylum Research (ACCORD), le Professeur Joakim Gundel, l’un des politologues spécialisés de la région Somali, a déclaré que la majorité de la population somalienne était composée de Somali, une ethnie d’éleveurs nomades appartenant aux clans dits « nobles » des Darood, des Hawiye, des Dir et, selon le point de vue, des Isaaq.
