PRICE: Readying outpost in Djibouti for ‘rapid response’

Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti

By John Price

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

On May 30, ArmyBrig. Gen. Kimberly Field announced the formation of a new “rapid response force” to be established at Camp Lemonnier in the East African nation of Djibouti.

Search Description

It will be a force “specifically trained and ready to respond to a crisis such as Benghazi, [Libya, which] we didn’t have before,” Gen. Field, deputy director of strategy, plans and policy for the Army, told reporters at the Pentagon.

While serving as U.S. ambassador to three East African island nations from 2002 to 2005, I was told by U.S. commanders that rapid response to emergencies in East Africa was one of the original purposes for establishing the base in Djibouti.

Djibouti is located on the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea, a key terrorist transit point to Africa, just 17 miles from Yemen. In December 2002, U.S. Central Command established the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) at Camp Lemonnier, the former French Foreign Legion base. The objective was to cover Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Sudan, Somalia, the Seychelles and Yemen.

The base’s functions were to conduct security operations, counterterrorism training, humanitarian assistance and civil affairs projects. The “real” purpose, however, was to deny al Qaeda from using East Africa as a safe haven.

Sub-Saharan Africa had become a dangerous place, with the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, the 2000 attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, the 2002 bombing of the Paradise Hotel in Mombasa, and the 2002 attempted missile attack on an Israeli charter aircraft. Al Qaeda had developed a significant presence and had to be stopped.

Temporary headquarters of the CJTF-HOA were set up in 2002 on the USS Mount Whitney, off the coast of Djibouti, with several hundred military personnel onboard. In May 2003, the task force became operational for regional operations.

In 2002, there were three U.S. commands with areas of responsibility in Africa — European Command, Pacific Command and Central Command — all operating independently. With the increase of attacks by Islamists in Iraq, escalating instability in the region and the expansion of al Qaeda in East Africa, a chief of mission conference was held in Djibouti in late 2003. At the time there were almost 1,800 troops, including special forces, stationed at the base.

ArmyGen. John P. Abizaid, commander of Central Command who oversaw operations in 27 countries, gave us an overview of terrorist concerns and security issues in the region. He indicated that increased terrorist activity was linked to a rise in radical imams teaching hatred in their madrassas, an issue not isolated to any one region.

Testifying before Congress in March 2004, Gen. Abizaid discussed the expansion of al Qaeda in several regions and said that eliminating the terrorist network’s senior leadership would not eliminate terrorism. Adding to the tumult, many Arab insurgents recruited by Osama bin Laden to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s had left and found a safe haven in Yemen, while others ended up in various parts of Africa.

In late 2006, al Qaeda terrorists responsible for the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings reportedly were embedded with Islamist militias in Mogadishu, the Somali capital. In early January 2007, Somali and Ethiopian troops pursued the Islamists, who fled to several southern towns, including the fishing village of Ras Kamboni, where al Qaeda had a training camp, few miles from the Kenyan border.

Two AC-130 gunships from Djibouti assisted in aerial attacks, killing several insurgents.

In September 2008, the establishment of U.S. Africa Command united operations on the continent, except those in Egypt, which remained under Central Command. The new command’s headquarters were based in Stuttgart, Germany, but Camp Lemonnier would have been a better choice to interface with the CJTF-HOA.

Camp Lemonnier has been expanded to include a squadron of F-15 fighter jets, AC-130 gunships, Black Hawk helicopters and refueling aircraft. Nearly 3,000 troops, including 300 special operation forces, are stationed there. Its fleet of Predator drones conduct surveillance and attack missions in Africa, Afghanistan and the Middle East.


Recently a Navy SEAL team, transported by an AC-130, parachuted at night into a Somali village to rescue two hostages held by pirates. The raid killed nine insurgents, and the freed hostages were flown to Djibouti. Camp Lemonnier’s trained force is capable of undertaking almost any type of counterterrorism operation.

In the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, the Djibouti base could have sent resources to disperse the al Qaeda-affiliated Islamists. The compound was under siege for almost nine hours. The distance of 1,900 miles is within the range of the “combat ready” F-15s, AC-130s and special forces.

The Pentagon and the State Department did not act timely to minimize the attacks, which possibly could have saved U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and the other three Americans.

The CJTF-HOA has succeeded in operations in Africa and beyond, since the base’s inception in 2003. Its resources could have made a difference in Benghazi. Failing to intervene militarily has only emboldened Islamist extremists to strike again.

Foreign and Defense Policy, Terrorism: Keep an eye on Somalia

Last fall, the withdrawal of al Shabaab, al Qaeda’s affiliate in Somalia, from a major port city, Kismayo, in the south of the country was heralded as a major blow to the terrorist group and a final stage in the collapse of al Shabaab’s quasi-state. Since then, the group has not reconstituted itself in any significant way in its former strongholds, but there are worrying signs. Al Shabaab still presents a threat to the stability of Somalia and to American interests in the region.

The answer to the question of who will control Kismayo is still outstanding. There have been growing tensions in the city as different clans vie for control of the city and surrounding region’s resources, all of which may play into al Shabaab’s hands. Like other al Qaeda affiliates and militant organizations, al Shabaab has been able to gain traction by exploiting local grievances. It has done so before in Kismayo, and there is no reason to assume that it will not seek to do so again.

Somalia is on the right path, and the momentum is still moving against al Shabaab. But we must watch these local conflicts in Kismayo and other former Shabaab-controlled cities with trepidation. The apparently minor question of local administration will play a major role in determining long-term success against al Shabaab in Somalia.

Funding Opportntiy: Open Society Foundations Launch Worldwide Fund to Support Nonprofits Navigating Leadership Transitions

Press Releases
 

NEW YORK—To help nonprofit organizations during their first two years of new leadership, the Open Society Foundations today announced a fund designed to provide key financial support so that a new generation of leaders around the world can implement their initiatives.

“The initial period when a new executive is appointed can be the most challenging and simultaneously the most promising time for an organization,” said Chris Stone, president of the Open Society Foundations. “When I became director of the Vera Institute in 1994, dealing with recent losses could have prevented me from starting any of the new initiatives that excited me. To this day, I remain grateful for the additional, discretionary support from foundations that allowed me to jump-start a new program and strengthen the core team. I’m glad we will be helping today’s new directors to start early in implementing their visions.”

Leadership transitions in nonprofit organizations are just as important as those in the for-profit sector, although they often receive less attention. New executive directors come to the position with innovative projects, but often face internal limitations and a lack of resources. This fund gives new leaders the discretionary support to implement the ideas that got them hired in the first place. This new fund is the only available support of its kind for nonprofit leaders at the outset of their tenure.

“New leaders share a common experience of deferring their visions because they are bound by constraints. We want to avoid this problem,” said Stone. “Periods of transition for nonprofits should be fertile moments for positive change and growth and help inject new vitality into an organization.”

The Open Society Foundations are committed to supporting a new generation of civil society leaders as part of their efforts to strengthen the nonprofit sector worldwide. The New Executives Fund will support executive directors and chief executive officers who have the potential to be leaders in fields that are central to Open Society’s mission.

The Open Society Foundations have long made individual decisions to support new directors, including directors at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the PEN American Center this year. The New Executives Fund expands this kind of support, making it a regular part of how Open Society is helping to build a new generation of nonprofit leadership.

The inaugural cohort of the fund includes leaders from around the globe whose organizations are advancing a range of human rights and social justice issues. Organizations will receive a two-year grant, which will be allocated at the executive director’s discretion.

Somaliland: 28 Human Rights Organizations Support Stance on UNSOM

Say the Nile dam is beneficial to Horn Africa Citizens

By: Yusuf M Hasan

Somalilandsun - The recent government rejection of hosting UNSOM office in Somaliland has received the support of 28 local human rights organizations in the country.

The organizations which also touched on the issues of unethical practices by media houses in the country and support for the Ethiopian Nile dam contested by Egypt addressed their concerns to various stakeholders of the Horn Region like IGAD, EU, UN and AU.

The Horn Watch statement read:

We hereby register our objections to the 22 years political machinations of the UN which are detrimental to the sovereignty of Somaliland. Even though the UN is established to protect rights similar to those of the 4 million Somalilanders, the world body has continuously been a stumbling block to the realization of their dreams and passion for independence.

The UN has persistently turned a blind eye to the security, demobilization, democratization, constitutional making and development the country has garnered without bi-lateral support from the international community.

In lieu of this the Horn of Africa Human Rights Watch Committee hereby informs that a time has come for the people of Somaliland to say NO! NO! To the political machinations of the UN which are geared towards returning Somaliland to the Union with Somalia.

Therefore, we the 28 members of the Horn of Africa Human Rights Watch Committee hereby declare our full support and backing of the decision by the government of Somaliland to reject UNSOM.

The relationship between Somaliland & Ethiopia is sacred

According to the statement by the Horn of Africa Human Rights Watch Committee, the relationship between Somaliland and Ethiopia is sacred and the 28 member organizations fully support the construction of the Great Millennium Dam (aka the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam) which is one of the biggest achievements in the entire Horn of Africa Region.

The Private Media Saga

The Horn of Africa Human Rights Watch Committee has taken note with a grave concern the continuous saga between the state and private media that has led to a large number of Journalists detentions and banning of some media houses.

While not supporting the detention of Journalists and banning of media houses, it has come to our notices that the government is justified in undertaking these actions due to the unethical practices of most members of the fourth estate.

According to a recent study by the Horn of Africa Human Rights Watch Committee it has come to light that most of these Journalists are forced to act unethically after receiving bribery for publishing articles, this is as a result of low payment thus search for other avenues for income generations that can cause a breach of the peace which is the preserve of the administration to protect.

A brief example of this, which the Horn of Africa Human Rights Watch Committee chronicled is the continued giving of the title chairman of Hagsoor (Xaqsoor) political party of Hassan Essa Jama, who despite this is no longer holder of the title because Xaqsoor was a political group that failed in the last local council elections of November 2012 thus nonexistent as per the constitution of Somaliland.

In the last few months, private media houses that include TV Stations, Newspapers and Websites have used chairman of Xaqsoor Political Party 150 times which is not only unethical but unconstitutional.

At the same time, the Horn of Africa Human Rights Watch Committee is of the opinion that the local media has not only displayed poor investigative journalism skills but failed in the most important duty which is also the most resourceful, that of interviewing the common man and woman especially on issues pertaining to health, education, culture, Tahrib (illegal immigration) etc.

To this effect, the Horn of Africa Human Rights Watch Committee believed that the despite the various difficulties encountered by journalist they are unethical and the government is justified in a clamp-down.

The Horn of Africa Human Rights Watch Committee believes that to correct this saga is for the implementation of the media law and most specifically the disciplinary aspect of it.

Recommendations

To: Somaliland Government

We ask the government to prosecute the two police officers who attacked the HUBAAL Newspaper and injured an editor.

We suggest that the Ministry of Information put in place legal parameters that govern information disbursement in the country.

We urge senior officials in the Ministry of Information to deter from acting in a nepotistic manner especially as pertains to staff recruitments owing to the fact that this is a very important institution in the country.

We ask the Ministry of Justice to with immediate effect return to work Kayse Ahmed Farah whose employment was curtailed by chairman of the court of appeal.

We ask Minister of Interior to with immediate effect release Mr. Mawliid Adan Omer who is in detention without trial for exposing corrupt practices at the central bank.

TO MEDIA HOUSES AND THEIR WELFARE ASSOCIATIONS

They should avoid acting and Advocacy like NGO)

They should concentrate on developing their Journalist skills, thus avoid confrontations with administration.

To: The International Aid Community and Sponsors of Independent Media

We the Horn of Africa Human Rights Watch Committee have noticed that the International Community and defenders of Independent Media indulgent in to the media saga in the country and complicating it, due to their failure of understanding and grasping the freedom accorded the fourth estate in Somaliland, as opposed to Africa and the developing world.

These defenders should stop condemning the state for the sake of it and concentrate on developing media skills and improving their capacities.
