[Diaspora ambassador]

Al shabaab won't be joining the un terrorist list

This hurts their plan of wanting to add a buffer zone in Jubbaland where no Somali can live.

Al shabaab won't be joining the un terrorist list

Kenya wants to repossess all Somali owned businesses especially hawalas inside Kenya in the event they lose at the ICJ it would also make their military occupation of Jubbaland easier on the pretext of fighting terrorism Somalia dodged a bullet the IC sees right through Kenya's shenanigans

Give credit to our ambassador, he repped us well at the UN.

Basically more of a power grab over Jubbaland.

 

[TekNiKo]

Great news, they wanted to let Somalis starve and capture our businesses

 

[Diaspora ambassador]

I hope that these shenanigans will not be forgotten and dealt with as soon as possible.

Kenya is urging the UN to list Al-Shabaab under the same sanctions as Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, but foreign donors say the move could leave millions in drought-stricken Somalia without aid.

The proposed listing — which could take effect as soon as Thursday — comes at a critical time in Somalia, where 2.2 million people, or nearly 18 per cent of the population, face the risk of severe hunger.

Al-Shabaab is already targeted under broader sanctions imposed by the United Nations on Somalia, which is heavily aid-dependent after three decades of conflict and economic ruin.

Right now, UN agencies and humanitarian organisations are exempt from this sanction, which enables them to deliver urgent aid without prosecution when they venture into territory controlled by Al-Shabaab.

But Kenya wants to tighten the screws on the jihadist group after several deadly attacks on its soil, and the sanctions regime it proposes would remove that safeguard.

“A measure like this will have the effect of criminalising humanitarian aid,” Eric Schwartz, president of Refugees International, told AFP.

“Any measure that would impact the current provision of aid would have extremely serious and substantial implications.”

If no member state objects before August 29 the Al-Shabaab listing under Security Council resolution 1267 will take immediate effect.

Hundreds of millions of aid dollars for Somalia will then be thrown into doubt.

In some cases, foreign donors said they may need to freeze payments for up to a year as they consider how to comply with the new sanctions, said an aid source in New York liaising with the UN on the issue.

Grey area

“We would be operating in a huge grey area. As humanitarian actors, we would have this huge dilemma of carrying on providing aid, or we stop altogether,” the official working for a large global charity told AFP on condition of anonymity.

Another concern is that banks, fearing repercussions, could limit financial services to humanitarian agencies working in Somalia — a process known as “de-risking” that makes it difficult to transfer money and fund programmes.

The looming deadline has sparked a flurry of lobbying at Security Council headquarters in New York.

The part that I bolded is referring to the standard NGO practice of paying Al Shabaab to access communities under their control. If I am understanding things correctly, that is what Kenya is trying to stop. The aid agencies are saying that this would put an end to all aid to the south. I wonder if it would have an impact on remittances to Al Shabaab controlled regions as well?

It would severely damage al Shabaab's soldiers. However it would also starve innocent people whom reside in those regions.
