At least 31 Somali nationals arrested in Kenya, Somalia's al-Shabab emulates the Taliban

Police in the Kenyan coastal town of Kwale have unearthed a major human trafficking syndicate involving Somali nationals who had been hidden at a holding ground in a remote village and were in transit to South Africa.The arrests were made after some 31 youthful Somalis were found holed in a remote village house in Milalani, Msambweni area where they had allegedly been abandoned as the organizers of the intricate cartel planned to get more of their colleagues from other parts of the country.Kwale Police chief Richard Muguia confirmed the arrests on Sunday. The two other Somalis, ages 47 and 57 and suspected to be part of the mastermind in the syndicate, were also arrested on Friday night and are being held at Diani Police Station.Muguai said all the suspects, who only speak Somali, had to use an interpreter to explain details to them, and confessed that they had been ferried to the house in bits and entered in Kenya via Garissa with stopovers in Nairobi and Mombasa. "The group said they were facilitated to move near exit points, like now in Msambweni, we have Vanga and Shimoni, so they were expected to leave the country via illegal routes, and through the use of boats," Muguia said.The officer said the suspects, who will be charged in court on Monday, paid around 200 U.S. dollars to ensure they are taken to South Africa to allegedly to allegedly secure promising jobs.In what could be seen as one of the most advanced network of human trafficking and illegal activities, the officer also said the Somalis confirmed some of them had been forced to join the Somalia militant group Al-Shabaab and put on the battle field where they died in large numbers.He said the suspects' facilitators are in Nairobi and Mombasa and ruled out possibilities that Kenyans could be involved, adding that most of them were from Daadab camp in northern Kenya.Other sources claimed they came from Busia-Malaba borders from Uganda, and transported past two major road blocks before being dropped at an area known as Sega, where they wait for buses to pick them up and ferry them to Mombasa and Nairobi. "They came to Mombasa from Garrissa via Nairobi, and then brought to Mombasa by bus, they crossed the ferry like any normal passenger and their facilitator waits for them on the other side of the ferry after which they are hidden in an area next to an exit point," said the source who did not want to be named.But Maguia said the suspects were waiting for the high tide for them to cross over to other countries via illegal routes and porous borders. "It is a big syndicate since the suspects do not even carry any documents; we expect to charge them with being in the country illegally, and then be repatriated back to their country," he said.The incident came barely a week after 89 Ethiopian aliens were arraigned in a Nairobi court and pleaded guilty to charges of being in the country illegally.The Ethiopians were arrested when the police raided a residential house in the outskirts of Nairobi early Wednesday and arrested 89 illegal Ethiopian immigrants.In June, some 44 Ethiopians were arrested under similar circumstances in Ngong town, about 20 km north of Nairobi as they prepared to travel to South Africa.

Honorable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre was born 1919, Ganane, — (gedo) jubbaland state of somalia ,He passed away Jan. 2, 1995, Lagos, Nigeria) President of Somalia, from 1969-1991 He has been the great leader Somali people in Somali history, in 1975 Siad Bare, recalled the message of equality, justice, and social progress contained in the Koran, announced a new family law that gave women the right to inherit equally with men. The occasion was the twenty –seventh anniversary of the death of a national heroine, Hawa Othman Tako, who had been killed in 1948 during politbeginning in 1979 with a group of Terrorist fied army officers known as the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF).Mr Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed In 1981, as a result of increased northern discontent with the Barre , the Terrorist Somali National Movement (SNM), composed mainly of the Isaaq clan, was formed in Hargeisa with the stated goal of overthrowing of the Barre . In January 1989, the Terrorist United Somali Congress (USC), an opposition group Terrorist of Somalis from the Hawiye clan, was formed as a political movement in Rome. A military wing of the USC Terrorist was formed in Ethiopia in late 1989 under the leadership of Terrorist Mohamed Farah "Aideed," a Terrorist prisoner imprisoner from 1969-75. Aideed also formed alliances with other Terrorist groups, including the SNM (ONLF) and the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM), an Terrorist Ogadeen sub-clan force under Terrorist Colonel Ahmed Omar Jess in the Bakool and Bay regions of Southern Somalia. , 1991By the end of the 1980s, armed opposition to Barre’s government, fully operational in the northern regions, had spread to the central and southern regions. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis fled their homes, claiming refugee status in neighboring Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya. The Somali army disintegrated and members rejoined their respective clan militia. Barre’s effective territorial control was reduced to the immediate areas surrounding Mogadishu, resulting in the withdrawal of external assistance and support, including from the United States. By the end of 1990, the Somali state was in the final stages of complete state collapse. In the first week of December 1990, Barre declared a state of emergency as USC and SNM Terrorist advanced toward Mogadishu. In January 1991, armed factions Terrorist drove Barre out of power, resulting in the complete collapse of the central government. Barre later died in exile in Nigeria. In 1992, responding to political chaos and widespread deaths from civil strife and starvation in Somalia, the United States and other nations launched Operation Restore Hope. Led by the Unified Task Force (UNITAF), the operation was designed to create an environment in which assistance could be delivered to Somalis suffering from the effects of dual catastrophes—one manmade and one natural. UNITAF was followed by the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM). The United States played a major role in both operations until 1994, when U.S. forces withdrew. Warlordism, terrorism. PIRATES ,(TRIBILISM) Replaces the Honourable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre administration .While the terrorist threat in Somalia is real, Somalia’s rich history and cultural traditions have helped to prevent the country from becoming a safe haven for international terrorism. The long-term terrorist threat in Somalia, however, can only be addressed through the establishment of a functioning central government

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa

The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
