Fake news from that rapist false claiming sheikh Debunked

It's not fake news. There were two separate UN reports on charcoal exportation in Jubaland under the auspices of the KDF. Read chapter IV of the 2016 and 2017 report.

Here are the relevant sections:

Denying this is delusional in light of these facts. The Jubaland administration is myopically ignoring the deleterious effects this practise has on the environment for short-term financial gain.

Is a shame that the kikuyu lackie has cut down the jungles that jubbland was famous for in order to receive pennies from the Emirates and Iranians.
Is unfortunate that the ppl of jubbaland have to suffer from this man made droughts that have been wreaking havoc in jubbland the past 5 years

Charocal trade and mass cutting trees have been happening in Somalia since the 90s the areas affected the most includes Middle Shabelle,Lower Shabelle & Gedo region. This is fake news politicized by the corrupt Farmaajo regime @Removed take the mantle professor

@Removed conceded that charcoal was being exported last time we discussed this topic. Invoking him now won't make these damning reports disappear.

Spin this however you want, it doesn't change the illegality of the situation. There has been an international moratorium on the charcoal exports since 2012. Jubaland circumventing this ban is illegal under international law. It is contributing to massive ecological damage in southern Somalia and providing al-Shabaab with additional avenues of funding.

I refused to look at it when I saw 2016.

I dont think they realize how impossible it is for JL to facilitate an operation to cut one million trees with no machinery. Furthermore they ignore the fact that most of this cutting goes on in AS territory and lastly that 800,000 bags is not remotely equal to 1 million trees

Denying what? The original claim was that 800,000 bags or “1 million” trees was being cut and shipped from Kismayo on Diamond Sky. That has been completely debunked.

The claim you wish to propose is charcoal came through Jubbaland in 2016, completely different. More interestingly you write “under the auspices of Kenya” but your report only blames Kenya as far as “Kenyan forces are not preventing exports”. Do you support increased authority for Kenyan forces to enforce trade laws within Somalia?

@Removed @SPMLegend I just read the latest report and it seems that I was wrong. Jubaland is not currently exporting charcoal. In fact, the last significant shipment of charcoal was in August 2018:

The Panel did not record any major export of charcoal from Somalia during its current mandate. The last substantial export was recorded in August 2018. Effective measures implemented by Member States with charcoal destination markets, improved political messaging by the Federal Government of Somalia and restrictions by the Jubbaland authorities at export points continued to contribute to the suppression of the charcoal trade. The active monitoring of the charcoal trade by international partners, including the Combined Maritime Forces, Operation Atalanta of the European Union Naval Force and UNODC also serves as a deterrent to the trade.

The report does mention significant stockpiles of charcoal being maintained in Lower Juba:

However, stockpiles worth more than $40 million in wholesale value are export ready in Lower Juba. While charcoal exports have been temporarily interrupted, the Panel received multiple reports of pressure on charcoal traders to realize the financial value of existing charcoal stockpiles.

They place the numbers between 600,000 to 900,000 bags:

The volume of charcoal ready for export at the stockpile locations in Kismayo and Buur Gaabo stands between 600,000 and 900,000 bags (15,000 to 22,500 tons). Analysis carried out from February to July 2021 examined available satellite imagery of the primary charcoal stockpile locations found at Buur Gaabo and Kismayo. The analysis found that the volume of charcoal stockpiles did not significantly change from late 2020, which was corroborated by independent satellite analysis.

From the 2018 report, approximately 4 million bags were exported each year. This dropped to 3 million bags in 2018 before the ban was effectively enforced. We know that charcoal shipments started in 2013. That means roughly ~23 million bags of charcoal were shipped from Lower Juba between 2013 and 2018.



Even if the Jubaland administration was only responsible for 10% of that number, their involvement is indefensible.

Sounds like the Charcoal ship has been caught in Oman.
