Somalia: Ethiopian Forces Desert Central Somalia
Guri El — A large number of Ethiopian forces deserted central Somalia town to return back to their homeland one day after entering Somalia soil.
Residents and eyewitnesses confirmed the Ethiopians left from the villages of Qeydar and Marodile which situate between the districts of Guri El and Banbal in central horn Africa nation.
Residents added that the Ethiopian military entered the area searching for Oromo fighters who they suspected of having crossed the border into Somalia.
The arrival of Ethiopian forces came as Somalia's moderate Sufi group of Ahlu Sunna Waljama officials recently visited Addis Ababa and held security meetings with that country's leaders.
Meanwhile, forces from Ethiopia routinely cross into southern and central Somalia because it fears Islamists whose numbers are growing, experts said

Daily Hadith, 04-11-2011
Narrated: Ibn Abbas
The Prophet set out with the intention of going to Suq 'Ukaz (market of 'Ukaz) along with some of his companions. At the same time, a barrier was put between the devils and the news of heaven. Fire commenced to be thrown at them. The Devils went to their people, who asked them, "What is wrong with you?" They said, "A barrier has been placed between us and the news of heaven. And fire has been thrown at us." They said, "The thing which has put a barrier between you and the news of heaven must be something which has happened recently. Go eastward and westward and see what has put a barrier between you and the news of heaven." Those who went towards Tuhama came across the Prophet at a place called Nakhla and it was on the way to Suq 'Ukaz and the Prophet was offering the Fajr prayer with his companions. When they heard the Qur'an they listened to it and said, "By Allah, this is the thing which has put a barrier between us and the news of heaven." They went to their people and s! aid, "O our people; verily we have heard a wonderful recital (Qur'an) which shows the true path; we believed in it and would not ascribe partners to our Lord." Allah revealed the following verses to his Prophet (Sura 'Jinn') (72): "Say: It has been revealed to me." And what was revealed to him was the conversation of the Jinns.

Wanqashii furitaanka xarunta Telefiishanka Qaranka ee Yurub oo lagu qabtay London
London - Xaflad balaadhan oo loogu dabaaldagayay laguna soo dhaweynayay furitaanka xarunta telefiishanka Qarankaee Yurub ayaa lagu qabtay maalintii Sabtidii ee taariikhdu ahayd 29,Oct,2011, galbeedka magaalada London. Munaasabadan oo ay kasoo qayb galeen dadweyne aad u tiro badan oo reer Somaliland ah, masuliyiin sare oo ka tirsan Dowladda Somaliland oo ay ka mid ahaayeen wasiir kuxigeenka arrimaha dibadda ee Somaliland, Xeer ilaaliyaha guud ee qaranka, , la-taliyaha arrimaha dhaqaalaha, ganacsiga iyo maalgashiga ee madaxweynaha, agaasimaha guud ee wasaarada warfaafinta, aqoon yahano, fanaaniin iyo abwaano.Aayado quraana ka dib waxa cod baahiyaha lagu soo dhaweeyay caruur reer Soamliland ah oo ka socotay ururka jaalliyada Somaliland ee WLSC, kuwaasi oo heesta calanka ee Somaliland halkaasi ka qaaday, taasi oo qiiro galisay dadkii madasha xaflada ku sugnaa oo mar kaliya wada istaagay iyagoo wadnaha gacanta saaray.
Suxufiga caanka ah ee reer Somlailand Maxamuud Sh Axmed dalmar ayaa ugu horeyntiiba si qoto dheer uga waramay muhiimada saxaafadu u leedahay ummadda iyo faa'iidooyinka ay u ku jirta haddii sida saxa ah loo isticmaalo.
Wasiir ku xigeenka arrimaha dibada Maxamed yoonis Cawaale oo isna halkaasi ka hadlay ayaa waxa uu ka xog waramay horumarka dhanka saxaafada ee xukuumada Somaliland samaysay, isagoo ku dheeraaday doorkii qurbajooga reer Somaliland kazoo qaateen isbedelka dalka dhacay. Waxa isna halkaasi ereyo kooban kazoo jeediyay xeer ilaaliyaha guud ee Qaranka Xuseen Aadan Ahmed, oo sheegay in saxaafadu tahay mid qiimo weyn qaranka ugu fadhida oo loo baahana yahay. Lataliaha Madaxweynaha ee Arrimaha Dhaqaalaha, Ganacsiga iyo Maalgashiga Md.Axmed Xasan Carwo oo ka xog waramay oo sheegay inuu ka mid yahay dadka saxaafada la saaxiibka ah ee sida aadka ugu ololeeya ee jecelna horumarinteeda.
Axmed Carwo iyo Xeerilaaliyaha Xuseen AdanAxmed Carwo waxuu kaftan ahaan u yidhi..."Dadweynahu ha bartaan hawsha La-taliyaashu hayaan..Hadday Wasiiradu yihiin gacantii Madaxweynaha, Waxaanu haysaanaa dhegta Madaxweynha oo wax badan oonu u sheegnay ayaa Golaha Wasaarada loo gudbiyaa, waliba kuwa iga ka yimaada, ayuu Madaxweynahu na yidhaa iga shaandheeyaa, teeda kale anagu toos ayaanu dadweynaha iyo Madaxweynaha isagu xidhnaa anagoon eegayn dano gaar ah oo wasaarad amba hayadi leedahay iska dhaaf tu ruux leeyahay...dee ha nalala shaqeeyo oo mas'uuliyaddayada ha la qiimeeyo"... Dhinaca kale isagoo Axmed Carwo ka hadlaaya saxaafadda, waxuu yidhi," Haddaad maqasheen seddexda dhardhaar ee dawladnimo, sida Golaha Fulinta, Sharci dejinta, iyo sharci ilaalinta, waxa afreeya tiirka warbaahinta. Dal dimuquraadi ma sheegan karo haddaanu lahayn warbaahin madaxbanaan".
Isagoo si tifaftiran arrintaas ka hadlay ayuu waxuu ku soo gunaanaday sida ay xukuumadda Madaxweyne Silanyo uga go'antay madaxbanaanida warbaahinta mid xukuumadeed iyo mid gaar ahba. Tvga qarankuna waa mid magaca uu sito ku sifoobi doona oo muwaadinka u dhex ah, ilaaliya sharafta, sharciga, dhaqanka iyo asluubta qaran iyo muwaadin een noqon mid cid gaar ah u adeega. Axmed waxuu sheegay in Xukuumaddan oo xiligii doorashada aad ugu hadashay madaxbanaanida ayna ka suurtoobin inay af qabato. Waxuuna yidhi "Waxa leysku qaldaa mas'uuliin xukuumadda ah oo si shakhsi ah u dacweeya saxaafad ay u arkaan inay gef shakhsi ka galeen iyo xukuumaddii hore ee magaca xukuumadda ku dacweyn jirtay. Ninka maanta dacwoodaa waa shakhis la mid ah oo la xaquuq ah muwadinka uu dacweynaayo, uuna u maraayo sifo sharci ah, lana xidhayn saxafi aan maxamadi xidhin ooyna waaran u soo jarin. Waxa daliil u ah in Madaxweyne Axmed oo si badheedh saxaafadaha qaar ay u aflagaadeeyaan oo ay jirto sharci iyo qodobo distoori ah oo sharafta madaxda ilaalinaaya, inuu iskii u gartay inaan cidna maxkamad lagu geyn aflagaado isaga loo geystay. Haddaba hadday mas'uulinta qaar iyagu ay gartaan inay xaq muwaadin ahaan dacwoodaan, dee ma aha mid loo anayn karo xukuumadda" ayuu yidhi Axmed Carwo
Intaas dabadeed waxaa hadalka u kacay Agaasimaha Guud ee Wasaaradda Warfaafinta oo si qotodheer uga xog waramay dedaalka loo soo maray TVga iyo warbaahinta guud ahaan, hiigsiga dhow iyo kan fog ee Wasaaradda, isagoo ku sheegay in si dhakhso ah loo gaadhsiin doono Ameerika, dhowana dalka laga hirgelin doono idaacad wada gaadha dalka. Waxuu balan qaaday madaxbanaanida Tvga iyo dhexdhexaadnimadiisa.
Waxa iyaguna halkaasi ka hadlay dad tiro badan oo reer Somaliland ah oo isugu jira qaybaha kale duwan ee bulshada iyo abwaano soo bandhigay gabayo iyo heeso loogu dabaadegayo furitaanka telefiishanka qaran ee Yurub. Fanaaniinta qaranka ee reer Somaliland ayaa iyaguna halkaasi macaan dadka halkaasi ugu soo bandhigay.

SOMALIA: UN ENVOY CALLS FOR AFRICAN PEACEKEEPING FORCE TO REACH FULL STRENGTH
SOMALIA: UN ENVOY CALLS FOR AFRICAN PEACEKEEPING FORCE TO REACH FULL STRENGTH
New York, Nov 1 2011 1:10PM
The United Nations envoy for Somalia has stressed the need to bring the strength of the African Union peacekeeping force in the Horn of Africa country to the 12,000 troops mandated by the Security Council, adding that the force also needs the capacity to deal with unconventional tactics of war.
Augustine Mahiga, the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Somalia, told a <"http://unpos.unmissions.org/Default.aspx?tabid=1911&ctl=Details&mid=2201&ItemID=15547">news conference in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, yesterday that Al Shabaab insurgents, who are opposed to Somalia's Transitional Federal Government (TFG), were increasingly resorting to unconventional warfare, especially the use of bombs and other explosives to carry out acts of terrorism against civilians.
"In this last effort to clear Al Shabaab in north-eastern corner of the city [Mogadishu], we are witnessing a combination" of conventional warfare methods and terrorist attacks, said Mr. Mahiga.
"It is, of course, quite a challenge and in a sense an important reminder to the troop-contributing countries and to the international community that we must expedite the deployment of the remaining 3,000 troops which have been authorized by the Security Council.
"There is the need for reorientation of the fighting forces of AMISOM [African Mission in Somalia] to deal with these unconventional methods of warfare," he said.
Asked about the presence of Kenya troops in Somalia, Mr. Mahiga said the decision to deploy Kenyan forces was a bilateral one between the two countries and was in no way related to the deployment of AMISOM, which has a Security Council mandate.
There are currently 9,000 AMISOM troops in Somalia, including a police element – all of them from Uganda and Burundi, according to Mr. Mahiga. He said there were indications that Djibouti and Sierra Leone could provide some of the 3,000 soldiers required to bring the peacekeeping force to its authorized maximum strength.

RISE IN MERCENARY ACTIVITIES WARRANTS URGENT ATTENTION, SAYS UN EXPERT GROUP
RISE IN MERCENARY ACTIVITIES WARRANTS URGENT ATTENTION, SAYS UN EXPERT GROUP
New York, Nov 1 2011 12:10PM
A United Nations expert panel today warned of an alarming resurgence of the use of mercenaries in armed conflict, and called for regulating private military and security companies, whose activities raise numerous human rights challenges.
"Mercenaries pose a threat not only to security, but also to human rights and potentially to the right of peoples to self-determination," said Faiza Patel, who currently heads the <"http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Mercenaries/WGMercenaries/Pages/WGMercenariesIndex.aspx">Working Group on the use of mercenaries. "It is crucial that States cooperate to eliminate this phenomenon."
While traditionally mercenaries are understood to be soldiers hired to fight in an armed conflict or to overthrow a government, they have been used by governments in some recent conflicts against their own populations.
In Côte d'Ivoire there is "considerable" evidence that the Government used some 4,500 Liberian mercenaries to avoid the results of a democratic election at the end of 2010, according to a news release issued by the five-member Working Group.
In Libya, foreign fighters' involvement in the repression of peaceful demonstrations was reported earlier this year. Such mercenaries were allegedly recruited from neighbouring African countries and Eastern Europe.
Ms. Patel, who presented the group's report to the General Assembly on Monday, told a news conference at UN Headquarters today that the panel will be visiting both Côte d'Ivoire and Libya in the next few months. Over the past year, it made three country visits – Equatorial Guinea and South Africa in 2010, and Iraq in early 2011.
In addition to mercenaries, the "ever-expanding" activities of private military and security companies continue to raise a number of challenges, Ms. Patel said.
"Providing security to its people is a fundamental responsibility of the State and outsourcing security to private military and security companies creates risks for human rights, hence the need to regulate their activities."
She noted that these companies continue to undertake a growing range of activities in an increasing number of countries from drug-eradication programmes in Colombia to post-conflict reconstruction.
"And it is not just governments who take advantage of their services, but also NGOs [non-governmental organizations], private companies and the United Nations," she added.
For the Working Group, "the potential impact of the widespread activities of private military and security companies on human rights means that they cannot be allowed to continue to operate without adequate regulation and mechanisms to ensure accountability."
