Hargeisa (HOL) – A well-known journalist who reports on Somali arts and literature was arrested at Hargeisa’s international airport on Sunday. ‎Journalist Omar Ali Hasan (Omar Serbia) originally hails from the Somaliland region but has lived in Mogadishu for several years, where he worked as a reporter. Photos emerging on social media purport to show Omar Serbia walking with an armed soldier on the airport’s tarmac. The exact reason for his arrest is still not yet known. Omar Sabriya’s arrest could likely be political retaliation for the journalist’s perceived coziness with Somalia’s federal government in Mogadishu. Serbia has been photographed…

On July 5 2021 the world was shocked by the news of 84 year Jesuit priest and human rights activist Fr. Stan Swamy breathing his last in Mumbai in the course of his jail sentence. He had spent a lifetime defending rights of tribal communities and other weaker sections.

Mary Lawlor, UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights Defenders, said that the news of Swamy’s death was devastating and that…

Pepe Escobar Explains that Ukraine Is a Money-laundering Scheme for Corrupt Neocons, a Scheme to Take Over German Industry, and a Profit Bonanza for the Military/security Complex https://www.unz.com/pescobar/nato-vs-russia-what-happens-next/ Three months after the start of Russia’s Operation Z in Ukraine, the battle of The West (12 percent) against The Rest (88 percent) keeps metastasizing. Yet the narrative – oddly – remains the same. On Monday, from Davos, World Economic Forum Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab introduced Ukrainian comedian-cum-President Volodymyr Zelensky, on the latest leg of his weapons-solicitation-tour, with a glowing tribute. Herr Schwab stressed that an actor impersonating a president defending neo-Nazis…

People also ask Is federal system suitable for Somalia? Since 2004, the country has moved toward a federal system, not because it is inherently better, Mohamed said, but because, “Somali people don’t trust each other.” … It is the best form administration we can implement today in Somalia,” Mohamed Nurani Bakar, a member of parliament, told IRIN.Feb 5, 2014 Briefing: Can federalism work in Somalia? Reportfrom The New Humanitarian NAIROBI, 5 February 2014 (IRIN) – On paper, federalism appears to be central to today’s Somalia. “Federal Republic” is part of its official name.

But victory is a cruel NATO fantasy, staged for, and promoted by, our war-loving corporate infotainment media. Let our bleeding proxy negotiate a settlement, NOW. Since early January, the corporate media have been proving their loyalty and their usefulness to the US foreign policy establishment. With faultless show-business efficiency, they manufactured an international political superstar, at least in Europe and the English speaking world. Vladimir Zelensky appeared on media screens, seemingly everywhere, including a turn on the 2022 Grammy Awards extravaganza. Sad but resolute Ukrainian refugees became fodder for a blend of news and entertainment that firmly established, in our…

Vladimir Putin, demonized in the West for his “depravity,” to use the words of Defense Department spokesman John Kirby ( https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2022-04-29/bloomberg-evening-briefing-pentagon-official-decries-depravity-of-putin-s-war?cmpid=BBD042922_BIZ&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_term=220429&utm_campaign=bloombergdaily ), is really just an old-fashioned American liberal.   Putin’s old-fashioned 19th century liberal beliefs are no match for Washington’s 21st century Satanism.  Putin’s old-fashioned beliefs make him and his country sitting ducks for Washington. Apparently, Putin missed Chavez’s UN address or didn’t understand it. Putin is in trouble because his liberal mindset has never been able to comprehend that Russia has adversaries, deadly enemies who intend the demise of him and Russia.  For the eight years during which the US trained and equipped…

Among the root causes of the forced displacements are situations of political instability, continuous armed conflicts, deteriorating socioeconomic conditions, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of climate change.

The first Jew at Harvard was a slaveholder. That’s the bombshell, so far as I can tell, buried in the appendix of the new report “Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery,” released by the university this week. The report’s “list of human beings enslaved by prominent Harvard affiliates” includes the “enslaved persons” Cuffy and Cicely, owned by Judah Monis. Monis lived from 1683 to 1764 and was an instructor in Hebrew at Harvard College from 1722 to 1760. In researching this article, I discovered a third possible slave, “my Negro child Moreah,” mentioned in Monis’s 1760 will. I first encountered Monis’s name…
