By
  Warbixintii dhowaan ka soo baxday afhayeenka Waaxda Arrimaha Dibadda ee Mareykanka, Tommy Pigott, ayaa iftiisay xaaladda sii xumaanaysa ee dalka Suudaan, gaar ahaan walaaca laga qabo isbeddelka khatarta ah ee loo jihaystay dhanka "xal milateri." Iyadoo Jeneraal Cabdifataax al-Burhaan uu sii xoojinayo hadallada mudnaanta siinaya gacan-sarraynta goobta dagaalka halkii uu ka dooran lahaa wadahadal diblomaasiyadeed, beesha caalamku waxay wajahaysaa xaqiiqo qadhaadh: habkani maaha mid beegsanaya oo keliya xoogaga soo horjeeda, balse wuxuu khatar toos ah gelinayaa nolosha malaayiin qof oo rayid ah oo aan waxba galabsan.

Kenya Intensifies Counterterrorism Efforts with State-of-the-Art Equipment

By
In a significant move to bolster its fight against the Al Shabaab militia, Kenya is scaling up its security measures in the North Eastern region. Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki announced on Thursday that security agencies in the region will receive well-equipped machinery to enhance their capabilities in combating the terrorist group.

The State has procured a substantial amount of mobility equipment, including Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) and Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAPs), to be distributed among security officers stationed in Wajir, Garissa, Mandera, and other areas facing the Al Shabaab threat. The move reflects the government's commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the North Eastern, Upper Eastern, and Upper Coastal Regions, fostering an environment conducive to development and investment.

The initiative includes the recruitment and training of additional Kenya Police Reservists to supplement the efforts of multi-agency security officers. This strategic reinforcement aims to combat financiers, planners, and orchestrators of terror attacks in the region.

The government had previously pledged a substantial investment of Ksh20 billion ($138 million) for the modernization of police equipment to combat terror and banditry. In May of the previous year, CS Kindiki announced the allocation of an additional Ksh37 billion ($255.2 million) to further upgrade security equipment.

The first batch of equipment, including personal protective gear, is set to be distributed next week, with subsequent deliveries expected in the coming months. The comprehensive plan encompasses drones, modern surveillance equipment, as well as weapons, helicopters, and other aerial mobility resources.

Notably, this initiative follows the government's consistent efforts to protect police officers by ensuring they are well-equipped. Previous procurements, such as Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC) in 2020, faced challenges due to mechanical breakdowns and attacks by militants.

CS Kindiki, while in Wajir, issued a stern warning to those involved in contraband trade, narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, banditry, and cattle rustling. The government is determined to address these issues ruthlessly, underscoring its commitment to creating a safe and secure environment for local and external investment.

Somali Parliamentarians Decry Port Deal Between Ethiopia and Somaliland

By
Nairobi, Kenya: Tensions flared Thursday as Somali parliamentarians in Kenya, along with prominent Somali leaders, vehemently condemned the recent port deal struck between Ethiopia and the breakaway region of Somaliland. The agreement, signed by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi, granting Ethiopia access to the Red Sea through Somaliland's Berbera port, was deemed a brazen affront to Somalia's territorial integrity. Dr. Aden Keynan, a Somali lawmaker, described the deal as a blatant violation of Somalia's sovereignty. He, along with other concerned voices, urged the international community to act swiftly if Ethiopia refuses to retract the agreement. Calls for intervention were directed towards the United Nations, the African Union, and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). The agreement further ignited anxieties across the region, considering the historical animosity between Somalia and Ethiopia. One Kenyan MP war...

Tensions Escalate as Talks Resume Between Somaliland and Federal Government

By
In a region marked by historical complexities and territorial disputes, the recent resumption of talks between the federal government and the breakaway territory of Somaliland has sparked new tensions. The discussions, hosted by President Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti, aimed to navigate the delicate relationship between these entities. However, these talks faced strong opposition from President Said Abdullahi Deni of Puntland, a semi-autonomous region within Somalia's northern part. Denouncing the absence of Puntland in the discussions, Deni condemned the reopening of talks, highlighting the ongoing border disputes between Puntland and Somaliland as a significant point of contention. Since February, clashes between the Somaliland army and SSC-Khatumo forces have escalated, with both sides accusing each other of instigating fatal combat in Las Anod town. This protracted conflict has contributed to heightened tensions in the region and complicated the efforts toward resolution. Som...

Political Tensions Rise as Somali Leader Criticizes President's Visit to Ethiopia

By
In a recent turn of events, Abdirahman Abdishakur Warsame, the leader of the Wadajir political party and a member of parliament in Somalia, has voiced strong disapproval of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's decision to travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The president's planned visit is aimed at attending three crucial conferences, including the 37th African Union (AU) Summit, the International Government for Agricultural Development (IGAD), and the East Africa Community Leaders Conference. Warsame, however, described the president's choice as a mistake and criticized the government's handling of its diplomatic ties with Ethiopia. He asserted that if contacts with Ethiopia were not deemed necessary, the government should have minimized its engagement with the neighboring country. Warsame emphasized the need for the president to provide an explanation for attending the meetings in Addis Ababa, particularly considering what he referred to as Ethiopia's actions underminin...
