Ethiopia MPs lambast Debretsion over Ethio-Telecom’s “poor service”
(Ogadentoday Press)- Currently, the House of Peoples’ Representatives (HPR) is busy listening to and discussing the performance of the various government institutions. Listening to performance reports before the completion of every fiscal year is one of the tasks of Parliament. However, the trend that is being observed in the House is an unprecedented one. The Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front-dominated Parliament dominated assembly of lawmakers has begun challenging and criticizing government reports and anything they deem inappropriate unlike previous times. This was witnessed on Thursday when the minister of Communication and Information Technology, Debretsion Gebremichael (Ph.D.) was presenting the 10-month work performance to which most of the reports focused on the success he said was achieved in the Telecom service. But the MPs were critical of the report.

Kenya government walks a tightrope in Somalia as Kismayo gets new leader
Somalia’s clan elders have created a new mini-state and elected a Kenyan ally as its leader, a move likely to anger Mogadishu and sour ties between the two neighbouring countries. Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) has reportedly welcomed the development, strongly rejected by the Somalia government. “The Somali Federal Government regrets the way the people in Jubas and Kismayo are being misled,” read a statement from the office of the Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon. Nairobi and Mogadishu have been at loggerheads over how to manage regions liberated last year by KDF and Amisom. And Igad has been pushing for a local driven administration, which Mogadishu has strongly resisted arguing it has the prerogative to name governors.
Ethiopia detained 22 officers for Bahirdar killing spree
(Ogadentoday Press)-Federal Police detained fifteen of its officers include a Shaleqa level officer, it has been learnt. The list of detainee include another seven “security officers”.

Residents and officials concur that the killing spree could have been halted in time as there were several officers guarding government offices in the vicinity.

His body was found on Tuesday morning after a high-profile search by the Federal police and local militia.

The Horn of Africa has been ravaged by war and famine for decades, and now one of Somalia's regions, hopes to become an independent state. Somaliland sits on the Gulf of Aden and is officially regarded as an autonomous region of Somalia. The two were, however, separate until 1960. During the civil war in the 1980s, 40,000 people from Somaliland were killed, and nearly half a million fled. The region then declared independence in 1991. Since then, it has held four peaceful elections. Ahmed Mahamoud Silany, the president, told Al Jazeera that Somaliland would like to retain its independence, despite Somalia's calls to be united with region.

Somalia: Jubaland leaders host IGAD committee in Kismayo meeting
KISMAYO, Somalia May 18, 2013 (Garowe Online) - A delegation from the Inter Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) arrived Saturday in the Somali southern port city of Kismayo and was warmly received by Jubaland President Sheikh Ahmed Mohamed Islam (Madobe) in Kismayo, Garowe Online reports. The delegation, led by IGAD General Secretary Mahboub Maalim, plans to hold meetings with Jubaland leaders and community elders in Kismayo.

Abdu Ibrahim Mohammed was 15 years old when he began trekking with caravans of camels to collect salt in a sun-blasted desert basin of north Ethiopia that is one of the hottest places on earth. Now 51 and retired, he has passed his camels to his son to pursue this centuries-old trade in “white gold” from the Danakil Depression, where rain almost never falls and the average temperature is 94 degrees Fahrenheit (34.4 Celsius). But the tradition of hacking salt slabs from the earth’s crust and transporting them by camel is changing as a paved road is built across the northern Afar region.

Seminar: Qatar`s peace-making role in the Middle East and the Horn of Africa,
UMB, NUPI and FAFO invite to a seminar at Litteraturhuset, Oslo, with guest speakers from Yemen, Somalia and Palestine (Gaza). The speakers will analyse Qatar’s efforts, the consequences and the strategies used by the country when engaging in peace-making efforts.Qatari peace-making diplomacy has increasingly been felt around the world; Qatar has over the last years been involved in mediation in Sudan, Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Eritrea-Djibouti and Somalia with a mix of failures and successes. The Qatari involvement often puzzles the international society which asks why the Qataris put so much emphasis on peace-making and if they promote values, especially when it comes to gender – their approach being somewhat incompatible with more traditional Western efforts of conflict mediation. This seminar focuses on Qatari peace-making efforts, the modus operandi, and whether Qatari-Norwegian cooperation could enhance peace efforts in the respective countries.
