In UN Sanctions Follies, Jim'ale Shifted to Somalia List, Eritrea Report
Down, Bryden Spins
By Matthew Russell Lee, Partial exclusive
*UNITED NATIONS, July 24, updated -- The UN's Somalia and Eritrea sanctions
are a circus. A report on Eritrea was put online, then taken down after an
Ethiopian UN official Taye Brook-Zerihoun spoke with some but not all
Security Council members.*
*Meanwhile the coordinator of the Monitoring Group on Somalia and
Eritrea, the Canadian Matt Bryden, openly leaked his Group's report and was
quoted about it by name, before it was given to Eritrea.*
*Somalia too has criticized Bryden, as supporting the full or formal
breakaway of Somaliland.*
*Tuesday in front of the Security Council members from three countries
gave Inner City Press exclusive and negative reviews of Bryden's
performance. "He's leaving," one of them said. There is snarky speculation
Bryden may have been angling for a book deal, or a post with a group like
HRW.
*
*Update: a Permanent Representative came out and told Inner City Press the
problem with Bryden is speaking on his own for a "collective product."
Others point at the report and wonder if it's really in the SEMG's mandate
to analyze the Eritrean Air Force, down to the last spark plug, see report
at Page 16. One wag asked, "A no fly zone via sanctions?"
*
*In a lower profile but more telling untold tale, an individual initially
put on the Al Qaeda sanctions list was moved from that last earlier this
year to the "list of individuals and entities subject to the travel ban,
assets freeze and targeted arms embargo imposed by paragraphs 1, 3 and 7 of
resolution 1844 (2008)."*
*He is Djibouti national* named Ali Ahmed Nur Jim'ale, described as the
largest shareholder in the telecommunications firm Hormuud. Click here for
Inner City Press coverage of Hormuud.
The UN darkly notes that "Hormuud is operated by several former large
shareholders of Al-Barakaat with Jim’ale being the largest shareholder."
**
*Barakaat was a firm that got all of its money, and the small remittances
of expatriate Somalis in cities like Minneapolis, frozen (stolen, some say)
after a terrorism charge.*
*The irony is that now the TFG's Somali Mission to the UN, or at least
one vocal member of it, tells Inner City Press that Hormuud and by
implication Jim'ale did nothing wrong.*
*A well placed source exclusively told Inner City Press that the fact
that Jim'ale was taken off the 1267 Al Qaeda sanctions list, but simply
moved to another sanctions list with a lower threshold and no ombudsperson
like Kim Prost, is a "travesty." But isn't Matt Bryden, and the take-down
of the Eritrea report <
http://www.innercitypress.com/ban3eritrea062812.html>?
So it goes at the UN.
*
*Defenders of the Jim'ale process, or of the UN Security Council, told
Inner City Press that Jim'ale was taken off the Al Qaeda list and put on
the Somalia list "without any linkage other than a member state who managed
the transition."*
*Another, going bigger picture, said it should be admitted that the UN
sanctions is purely political and not legal, adding his view that Jim'ale
should have been kept on the 1267 sanctions list too -- on a political
basis. Even more so, this is how it goes at the UN.*

Thanks Simon, the Aiga link seem to be pointing to the Somalia portion of
the report. Been checking the UNSC website, so far nothing

Here is a must read article that does a great job refuting some of the

I sat on these and other relevant articles and reports this guy had written
over the years for a while hoping to write up something, but lacked the
ability, disciple and time. It is just unbelievable that this guy can be
allowed to continue at his job for this long. One guy wrote:
"Entrusting such a sensitive role as monitoring of arms to a de facto
honorary member of one of the opposing groups in Somalia is tantamount to
appointing a Serbian nationalist General to monitor and investigate the

**How true! A case of the Fox guarding the henhouse. We should really do

**It may not be relevant, but the step-fathers, step-sister, step brother

Thanks Simon for forwarding all the articles on this dubious guy. It goes
to show that had we zeroed in on this guy way back we could have
found enough information that shades light into his thinking. After reading
all this stuff you can't help but see a pattern in the way the SEMG reports
are written and disseminated. But what I find discouraging is only the
usual suspects are the ones that are trying to poke holes into the SEMG's
latest report.
http://www.dehai.org/archives/semg-12/thread.html
These folks need help, I know writing an analytical article is not an easy
task but this report has so much garbage in it I would think it'd be a
little easier to shred it into pieces.
People like me who can't write as good as some of ya bad boys and girls out
there :-) are helping in different ways but I urge those talented writers
to jump into the fray.

BRYDEN?****
Most observers believe that Mr. Matt Bryden, the ICG Horn of Africa Project
Director, who is a well-known sympathizer of “Somaliland” recognition, has
influenced the contents of the report. It is public knowledge that Mr.
Bryden is biased and cannot be relied upon for an objective analysis of the
Somali crisis. For example, he regularly attends functions that support the
recognition of “Somaliland” such as the conference held by the Somaliland
Policy & Reconstruction Institute, SOPRI<
http://www.sopri.org/gallery_0009.aspx>
3 in Los Angeles in June of 2005. Many observers also believe that he
played a decisive role in leaking the contents of the current report to
organizations and individuals working for the dismemberment of Somalia.
This bias and questionable conduct is clearly illustrated by a ‘roundtable’
style meeting held on Thursday 9th March 2006 at the House of Commons, and
organized by Somaliland Focus (UK). Dr Steve Kibble, a member of
Progressio, a Christian charity that is active in “Somaliland”, chaired the
meeting. The minutes*4* of the meeting states, “ICG is increasingly
interested in Somaliland. Report due this month, which will recommend
action in the direction of recognition”. This statement evidently confirms
that the ICG deliberately collaborates with other organizations in their
efforts to partition the Somali State.
http://hiiraan.com/op/2006/jun/Qarshe-Timacadde030606.aspx
*The ICG Report and its negative implications for Somali Unity *
In its report No.110 titled *Somaliland: Time for African Union
Leadership* <
http://www.crisisgroup.org/home/index.cfm?l=1&id=4131>1, the
International Crisis Group (ICG) urges the AU to take the initiative in
helping “Somaliland” achieve its quest for secession from the rest of
Somalia by granting it an observer status as a prelude to eventual full
recognition. This report contradicts the principles of the organization
that stands for the objective analysis and prevention of conflicts. It also
raises disturbing questions as to its timing. The report was published on
the 23rd of May 2006; 5 days after some regions of “Somaliland” celebrated
the anniversary of their unilateral secession from the rest of Somalia
after the chaos that engulfed the whole country when the central government
collapsed.
The 32-page ICG report is full of irrelevant legal arguments and
precedents for the dismemberment of a homogeneous country of Somalia. The
report unfairly compares Somalia to States that have disparate ethnic
groups and irreconcilable historical animosities. The ICG argues, “Since
the end of the Cold War, new states have emerged from the collapse of the
Soviet Union and the former Yugoslavia, and Asia has witnessed the birth of
East Timor. In Africa, Eritrea gained independence from Ethiopia, and the
African Union has agreed in principle that southern Sudan may also become a
state if its people so decide in 2011”. The report ignores the homogeneous
nature of Somalia and the nomadic character of its population who defy
artificial borders in their search of green pastures for their livestock.
The report brushes aside the potential disintegration of the Somali State
into multiple tribal enclaves including “Somaliland” itself, which has a
delicate tribal balance. The report also ignores the tight economic
integration among the different Somali regions as clearly outlined in the
article “*Icons of Somali Unity<
http://www.awdalnews.com/wmview.php?ArtID=7193>
2*: Invisible to foreigners like Professor Jhazbhay”.
It seems that the ICG has unwittingly allowed itself to be dragged into the
murky politics of Somalia and has been partial in this sensitive issue that
can by far create more anguish in Somalia if not handled with care and
wisdom. This essay attempts to alert the world to the ICG’s unprecedented
interference in the affairs of a sovereign State that is trying to nurse
itself back to health. It is counterproductive for the international
community to spend millions of dollars on reconciliation conferences in
rebuilding Somalia while allowing a small group such as the ICG to
dismantle the Somali State. This is a prelude to upcoming report that will
undoubtedly unravel the irrelevant legal arguments and inapplicable
precedents used in the ICG report in favor of “Somaliland” recognition.
Most observers believe that Mr. Matt Bryden, the ICG Horn of Africa Project
Director, who is a well-known sympathizer of “Somaliland” recognition, has
influenced the contents of the report. It is public knowledge that Mr.
Bryden is biased and cannot be relied upon for an objective analysis of the

interested in Somaliland. Report due this month, which will recommend
action in the direction of recognition”. This statement evidently confirms
that the ICG deliberately collaborates with other organizations in their
efforts to partition the Somali State.
Before joining the ICG, Mr. Bryden used to decry foreign meddling in
Somalia’s affairs. The following is an excerpt from one of his briefings
titled “New Hope for Somalia? Building Block Approach”, that was published
in the March 1999 issue of the journal “*Review of African Political
Economy - Vol. 26 No. 79 <
http://www.roape.org/cgi-bin/roape/show/7911.html>
5**”.*
“*Somalis may be forgiven if they have become wary of foreign help in
putting their shattered country back together. Since the absurd colonial
dismemberment of the Somali nation between five sovereign states, external
involvement in Somalia has ranged from the mediocre to the disastrous. The
anemic preparations by the British and Italian governments for Somali
independence and statehood, the enthusiastic support of both cold war blocs
in the training and armament of the small country's security services and
armed forces, and the United Nation's ruinous attempts at nation-building
are notable benchmarks in a long history of foreign meddlers - some of them
sinister, some benign, others simply incompetent - but all of them
ultimately unsuccessful*.”**
Mr. Bryden unwittingly portrayed himself and the ill conceived efforts of
the ICG accurately in the above paragraph. They are foreigners lobbying the
AU to contradict its own rules, and dismember one of its own members,
Somalia. They are behind a mediocre report that undermines the unity of the
African Union in general and the Somali Unity and Sovereignty in
particular. Hence, in Mr. Bryden’s own words, their efforts will ultimately
be unsuccessful.
Nevertheless, Mr. Bryden is right on one regard, that the Somalis do not
trust foreigners when it comes to critical issues that affect the unity,
integrity and sovereignty of their country. Somalis, regardless of their
regional affiliations have been wary of the ICG since it published its
first report on Somalia in 2003. The current report reveals the ICG as an
advocacy group that dedicated its work in Balkanizing Somalia, rather than
as an impartial analytic group that generates reports on potential
international conflicts.
It is a well-known fact that Africa has suffered and still suffers the
pains of the colonial intrusions in its affairs. In the post colonial era,
hired mercenaries helped stage bloody coups in many African countries and
caused untold suffering to the African people. These foreigners are
unfortunately nothing short of modern day mercenaries who employ subtle
tactics to divide and rule Africa. Most Africans can interpret the efforts
of the ICG to divide Somalia as a long-term agenda to dismantle the Sudan,
Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo and other Sub-Saharan countries.
The ICG report references a recent
*article*<
http://www.reportingwar.com/pham051106.shtml>
6 by Dr. J. Peter Pham, "Strategic Interests: Facing Reality in
Somalia", *World
Defense Review*, in which the author recommends that the US recognize
“Somaliland” as part of its strategy to fight global terror. The ICG report
argues “A vocal minority of Somalilanders, including some communities along
the troubled border with neighboring Puntland (North East Somalia) and a
violent network of Jihadi Islamists favor unity”. This reckless statement
supports the arguments detailed in Dr. Pham's article. Unfortunately, some
naive Somalis are unsuspecting participants in this ugly campaign to
dismember their country as part of the global war that many Muslims believe
is being waged against Muslims all over the world. The on-going bloodshed
in Mogadishu seems to be part of that strategy. One of the warlords of the
so called coalition against terror in Mogadishu, backed and funded by the
US, is unwitting participant in this strategy as he recently called for the
recognition of “Somaliland” using coarse language and depicting it as a
parasite.**
* *
It also seems that the ICG is very selective in its calls for the
dismemberment of sovereign states. The search for ICG reports on the
violent struggles of the Basque and the Northern Ireland people to secede
from Spain and Britain respectively, two thorny issues that affect Europe,
surprisingly produced no results. Similar searches for crisis reports on
the Oromo and Western Somalia (Ogaden) armed struggles for
self-determination unfortunately also failed to produce tangible results. This
indicates that the ICG regards the “Somaliland” issue as a threat to world
peace and stability even though there are more dangerous secession based
conflicts that rage in this world and deserve the attention and resources
of the ICG.
It is ironic that the only report about Somalia by the ICG in 2006 calls
for the dismemberment of the country instead of tackling the serious
conflicts raging in Mogadishu and the problems posed by the continuing lack
of a strong government. The world has acknowledged that the lack of strong
central government in Somalia poses more serious threats to world peace and
stability. Pirates roaming lawless Somali coasts continue to threaten
international shipping lanes. However, the ICG chose to ignore these
critical issues and devotes its resources to an issue that can be resolved
peacefully by Somalis themselves when they emerge from the chaos engulfing
many parts of their country. The ill-advised calls of the ICG to divide
Somalia can only worsen the situation on the ground and escalate tensions
in areas that have so far escaped the mayhem raging in Mogadishu.
The most disturbing element in the ICG report is its attempt to drag the AU
into playing a role in the dismemberment of its member state. The report
cites a classified report by an AU mission to the North and quotes
liberally from that classified report of the mission that supposedly
recommends AU membership for “Somaliland”. However, they consistently fail
to tell the world that mission has violated the territorial integrity of
Somalia by embarking on such undertaking without the consent and the
clearance of the Transitional Federal Government, the TFG, which has been
recognized as the only legitimate government in Somalia by the UN, the EU,
the Arab League and the AU. The alleged mission confined its visits to
areas whose inhabitants include those that are sympathetic to the
secession. Northern Somalia is not limited to Hargeisa, Burao, Berbera,
Sheikh and Borama. There are many cities whose inhabitants do not support
the secession and the mission failed to dignify those cities with a simple
visit. The deliberate failure of the mission to include these regions in
its itinerary raises disturbing questions that need to be answered by the
AU itself. However, the most disturbing fact is the ability of ICG and
other “Somaliland” sympathizers like Professor iqbal Jhazbhay to get hold
of the classified report while the TFG is completely in the dark as to its
contents. We leave it to the AU to explain this deliberate manipulation of
its resources in order to destroy a member state in contravention of the
core mission of the AU itself.
* *
It is counterproductive for an international organization that boasts on
its Board of trustees’ illustrious names like *Wesley Clark and Zbigniew
Brzezinski, *and purportedly* *works on the prevention of conflicts, to
call for break up of homogeneous people whose problems can be solved
through peaceful conflict resolution efforts, diplomacy and targeted
development aid as rewards for democratic achievements. It would be more
appropriate for such an organization to work on stopping the bloodshed in
Mogadishu and to call for the support of the fledgling TFG, which declared
many times that the issue of the North, will be solved through negotiation
and dialogue. A peaceful solution can be reached once the TFG manages to
bring peace and stability to the South. The ICG report clearly smacks of
bias on the issue of “Somaliland” and its attitude can only lead to the
further aggravation of the catastrophe on the ground. Mr. Bryden’s
proposal that is embraced by the ICG could very well lead to a serious
crisis and a dire strife that could drag the peaceful North into the
quagmire of South.
We therefore call upon IGAD, the AU, the UN and the well-meaning sponsors
of the ICG to intervene and help the Somali people put an end to these
counterproductive reports that are being spewed by the ICG on Somalia and
to ask the organization to discipline those responsible for such divisive
reports that can aggravate the Somali impasse. These kinds of reports only
add insult to the injury and promote further hate among the Somali people.
