Walter Lee Williams, former USC professor, is 500th person to be added to FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" list

(CBS/AP) WASHINGTON-- Walter Lee Williams, a former University of Southern California professor, became the 500th person named to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted fugitives list Monday.

Walter Lee Williams is the 500th person to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list on Monday.

Of the 500 fugitives who have been named to the list, 469 have been apprehended or located, according to the FBI. Of those, 155 fugitives were located with the help pf the public.

Williams is wanted for allegedly sexually exploiting children and traveling abroad to engage in sex acts with minors.

Williams has traveled to the Philippines and is believed to have lived in Indonesia, Polynesia and Thailand.

Also named to the list Monday was the 499th person, Jose Manuel Garcia Guevara, accused of murdering 26-year-old Wanda Barton in front of her 4-year-old stepson in Lake Charles, La. in 2008. The FBI believes that Guevara raped Barton before stabbing her to death.

The FBI believes Guevara is currently in Mexico but said that there is a possibility that he returned to the US using falsified documents.

Guevara was indicted by a grand jury in April 2008 on charges of second-degree murder, aggravated rape and aggravated burglary

Taliban Step Toward Afghan Peace Talks Is Hailed by U.S.

Mohammed Dabbous/Reuters

Mohammed Naim, left, a spokesman for the Taliban, announced the opening of an office in Qatar on Tuesday to start talks on ending the 12-year-old war in Afghanistan.

By MATTHEW ROSENBERG and ALISSA J. RUBIN

WASHINGTON — A potential breakthrough in the effort to open Afghan peace negotiations appeared imminent on Tuesday when the Taliban announced the opening of a political office in Qatar and said they were willing to talk. American and Afghan officials said they would travel to the Persian Gulf emirate to meet insurgent negotiators within days.

If the talks begin, they would be a huge step in peace efforts that have been locked in an impasse for more than 18 months. American officials have long pushed for such talks, believing them crucial to stabilizing Afghanistan after the 2014 Western military withdrawal. But the process has been marked by false starts and seemingly unnavigable obstacles, including questions about who was actually empowered to speak for the Taliban’s secretive leader, Mullah Muhammad Omar.

President Obama called the Taliban’s announcement “an important first step toward reconciliation,” but cautioned that it was only “a very early step.”

“We anticipate there will be a lot of bumps in the road," Mr. Obama said at a meeting with President François Hollande of France at the Group of 8 summit meeting in Northern Ireland.

There has already been one bump: The plan that appeared to coming to fruition on Tuesday was the same proposal that the Taliban refused to move on more than a year ago, accusing the United States of negotiating in bad faith.

The insurgents did not say what prompted their apparent reversal. But talks in Qatar would be the first formal negotiations to end the war in Afghanistan, which began when American forces entered the country to rout Al Qaeda in 2001.

The war has since broadened into wide-ranging campaign against the Taliban and its allies. Yet even top American generals maintained that it could not be won on the battlefield, and American diplomats have engaged in nearly three years of secret meetings and working through diplomatic back channels to lay the groundwork for talks to begin.

Tuesday’s announcement appeared to signal that the Taliban had overcome resistance encountered at one time or another from nearly every quarter: President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, the exiled Taliban leadership, the Taliban’s patrons in Pakistan, and critics in the United States who have reacted coolly to what they perceive as talking to terrorists.

A pair of Afghan mullahs in black turbans made the Taliban announcement in a televised address broadcast from Doha, the capital of Qatar. The Taliban’s political and military goals “are limited to Afghanistan,” said Muhammad Naim, the Taliban spokesman who read the statement.

The Taliban “would not allow anyone to threaten the security of other countries from the soil of Afghanistan,” Mr. Naim added, and seeks “a political and peaceful solution” to the conflict.

American officials had long insisted that the Taliban make both pledges before talks start. The first element, in particular, is vital — it represents the beginning of what is hoped will become a public break with Al Qaeda, which the Taliban sheltered before the Sept. 11 attacks, the officials said.

“Together, they fulfill the requirement for the Taliban to open a political office in Doha for the purposes of negotiation with the Afghan government,” a senior Obama administration official said.

Along with getting the Taliban to disown international terrorist groups, the ultimate goal of the talks, from a Western and Afghan government point of view, is to persuade the Taliban to disarm and accept the Afghan Constitution. While Western officials have in the past suggested that the Constitution can be changed, the Obama administration on Tuesday stressed that accepting the current charter’s “protections for women and minorities” was considered a condition of any eventual peace deal.

In the shorter term, American officials said that American envoys are to meet later this week with Taliban representatives in Qatar, and then members of Afghanistan’s High Peace Council, which is to represent the government in talks, are to travel to the Persian Gulf emirate to sit down with the insurgents.

But the first meetings will probably feature little more than an exchange of agendas, another senior administration official said, cautioning against expectations for the talks to yield substantive results any time soon.

“There is no guarantee that this will happen quickly, if at all,” the official said.

Talks between the United States and the Taliban “can help advance the process, but the core of it is going to be negotiations among Afghans and the level of trust on both sides is extremely low, as one would expect,” the official said. “So it is going to be a long hard process if indeed it advances significantly at all.”

President Karzai of referred to the impending opening of the Taliban office earlier in comments at a ceremony celebrating the transfer of all security responsibilities to Afghan forces from the American-led multinational forces in Afghanistan.

“Peace is the desire of the people of Afghanistan,” Mr. Karzai said at a Kabul news conference after the ceremony. “Peace is a hope that the people of Afghanistan make sacrifices for every day.”

While he signaled his acceptance of the office’s opening, he made it clear that he wanted any talks moved to Afghanistan as soon as possible. The Taliban have insisted on holding talks on neutral ground outside Afghanistan and Pakistan, where much of the Taliban leadership currently lives.

American officials said they, too, wanted to see the office the talks eventually moved to Afghanistan. But “it’s not going to be possible in the near future,” said one of the administration officials.

Mr. Karzai’s concern is that the Taliban will use the office as a forum to try to re-establish their political legitimacy, especially in international circles, rather than confining the office to peace talks.

His concerns did not appear unfounded. The Taliban, in its statement on Tuesday, offered an expansive view of the role to be played by the Qatar office. The office would allow the Taliban “to improve its relations with countries around the world through understanding and talks,” as well as help it establish contact with the United Nations and aid groups, and yo talk to the media.

Meeting Afghans was qualified with the rejoinder “if needed.”

The insurgents offered little clarity on why they were now willing to open the office and begin talks with the United States and the government of Mr. Karzai, who they have for years derided as an American puppet.

West African Piracy Exceeds Somali Attacks, Report Says

By ALAN COWELL

LONDON — In a marked shift in patterns of maritime piracy, three leading organizations reported Tuesday that in 2012, for the first time, the number of ships and sailors attacked off West Africa exceeded those assaulted by pirates based in Somalia, on Africa’s east coast.

The report, published in London, suggested that while sailors attacked in the Gulf of Guinea in the west spent far less time in captivity than those held in Somalia, they were at risk of much greater violence.

The 50-page document by the three organizations — the International Maritime Bureau, Oceans Beyond Piracy and the Maritime Piracy Humanitarian Response Program — also concluded that West African pirates were motivated by a quest for quick profits from selling hijacked cargoes of refined oil, while Somali pirates sought lucrative ransoms and held captives for much longer periods.

Perhaps the most striking statistic was that in 2012, Somali pirate attacks — recently the bane of shipping in the Indian Ocean — dropped by almost 80 percent from a year earlier, with 851 seafarers fired upon, compared with 3,863 in 2011. West African pirates attacked 966 sailors in 2012, the figures show.

“The year 2012 marked the first time since the surge in piracy off the coast of Somalia that the reported number of both ships and seafarers attacked in the Gulf of Guinea surpassed that of the Gulf of Aden and of the western Indian Ocean,” the report said.

But it underscored various trends in the nature of piracy that troubled seafarers, making them particularly fearful of being seized in West African waters, where five hostages were killed in 2012, compared with no fatalities from Somali pirate attacks.

In West Africa, the report said, hostages were held for an average of four days, while the average period of captivity involving Somali pirates was 11 months. Some of the 589 hostages held in 2012 had been in captivity for more than two years.

The report said its findings indicated that fewer pirate groups were operating from bases in Somalia because of increased patrols by international navies and more effective security measures on ships.

“Other factors may include better organized shore-based policing and advances by the new Somali federal government and its supporters, which are driving pirates out of their traditional operating areas,” the report said.

But, the report said, those Somali pirates still in business were more effective in boarding vessels, so that the success rate of pirate attacks improved even though the total number dropped.

“These statistics may also indicate that pirates have learned to fire upon and attack only the more vulnerable vessels; for example, vessels that do not carry armed guards” or take other antipiracy measures, the report said.

Off West Africa, it said, there is a much higher boarding rate than off the coast of Somalia, partly because vessels tend to be attacked “while at anchor, drifting or conducting ship-to-ship transfers of refined products cargo.”

Only one-third of attacks in the Gulf of Guinea were directed at ships “actively in transit,” the report said. “In contrast, attacks off Somalia almost always occur while they are under way.”

Kaija Hurlburt, the lead author of the report, said in a telephone interview that she believed that the shifting pattern of attacks would become more marked as assaults decreased further in Somalia and increased in West Africa.

She attributed the growing number of attacks in the Gulf of Guinea in part to legal difficulties limiting the presence of armed guards on ships in territorial waters, where most piracy and armed robbery of ships takes place. By contrast, Somali pirates tend to strike on the high seas, where the combination of armed guards and other onboard security measures and the presence of international navies is a more forceful deterrent.

Egypt, Ethiopia agree to further talks

Addis Ababa – Ethiopia and Egypt have agreed to hold further talks on the impact of an Ethiopian dam to quell tensions between the two countries, the foreign ministers of both nations said on Tuesday.

“We agreed that we will start immediately on consultations at both the technical level… and the political level,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr told reporters, after meetings in Addis Ababa with his Ethiopian counterpart Tedros Adhanom.

The countries have been embroiled in a heated row after Ethiopia began diverting the Blue Nile River last month for the construction of the 6000 MW Grand Renaissance Dam.

Concerned over how the dam could impact downstream water levels, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi warned that “all options are open” over its construction.

But Amr and Tedros said that relations between the countries remain “brotherly” and that they will continue talks on the impact of the dam.

Amr said that previous statements had been made “in the heat of the moment.”

“Both ministers stressed the need to continue the dialogue and communication with each other,” they said in a joint statement.

“We have two options, either to swim or sink together. I think Ethiopia chooses, and so does Egypt, to swim together,” Tedros said.


An international panel has issued a report outlining the dam’s impact on water levels.

The report has not been made public, but Ethiopia has said the report confirms that the impact on water levels are minimal.

Controversial treaty

“[We agreed to] ask for further studies to ascertain the effects of the dam, not only the safety of the dam, the environmental effects, but also the effects of the dam on the downstream countries,” Amr said, adding that consultations involve Sudan as well as Ethiopia and Egypt.

Egypt relies on the Nile River for 86% of its water, and has said the construction of the dam is a security concern.

Ethiopia’s parliament ratified a controversial treaty last week ensuring its access to Nile water resources, replacing a colonial-era agreement that granted Egypt and Sudan the majority of water rights.

The new deal allows upstream countries to implement irrigation and hydropower projects without first seeking Egypt’s approval.

Ethiopia is building the $4.2bn Grand Renaissance Dam in order to generate electricity for export to neighbouring countries, including Kenya and Djibouti.

Set to be complete in 2017, it is slated to become Africa’s biggest hydroelectric dam and is being funded entirely from internal resources.

The Blue Nile joins the White Nile in the Sudanese capital Khartoum to form the Nile, which then flows through Egypt.

Ethiopia-Kenya Transmission Line Project to Commence in September

Ethiopian Business News - Infrastructure 

 

Construction work on the 1,068km long Kenya-Ethiopia transmission line project will commence in September 2013.

The Eastern Electricity Highway Project which cost USD 1.26 billion is expected to provide cheap power to Kenya from Ethiopia's hydro-electric plants.

Kenya Association of Manufacturers CEO,  Betty Maina said the lower electricity costs would result in reduced production costs for companies and cost of living for workers.

"There are many investors who want to venture into Kenya but they are put off by the high cost of electricity. As a result, they flee to neighboring countries," Maina added.

Kenya Electricity Transmission Company and Ethiopian Electric Power will implement the project, while German engineering firm Lahmeyer International will supervise the project. The project is scheduled to be completed in September 2018.

Somaliland: “Every Person in the World has a Right to Self-determination”-Hirsi

Minister Hirsi interview with Fred Oluoch of Kenya's the eastafricanPresidency Minister Hirsi H. AliPresidency Minister Hirsi H Ali

The Somaliland Minister for Presidential Affairs spoke to FRED OLUOCH on the various challenges facing the self-declared independent state as it continues to be denied international recognition despite 22 years of relative peace and democratic leadership.

How has Somaliland managed to remain peaceful while surrounded by chaos?

Actually the secret of Somaliland is that people came together led by elders and decided that they will maintain peace.

One of the things that helped us is that the Somali National Movement (SNM), the rebel group that fought the regime of Siad Barre in the 1980s, constantly changed its leadership every four years through democratic elections; those democratic principles have been maintained since then.

Why do you think the international community has not recognised Somaliland 22 years on?

I don't know why the international community is not recognising our declaration of independence because every person in the world has a right to self-determination. The people of Somaliland have spoken. Our people are determined to maintain their independence and it is up to the rest of the world to accept our position.

We have all the requirements of a republic — regular elections; working institutions such as the judiciary, the police and the army; we have maintained peace and security and the people have voted for separation in a referendum.

What do you say to the United Nations recent decision to turn over the control of Somaliland airspace to Somalia?

The UN is not ruling Somaliland, but it is an international institution made up of the international community. We have agreed to be part of that international community but their decision was not wise and it was taken without serious consideration of what is happening on the ground.

Somaliland has a functioning government that manages its land, air and sea. How can the UN say that our airspace should be managed by a government that is not yet fully operational and which cannot fully secure its borders, leave alone its airspace? But talks are going on between us and the UN and the mistake will be corrected.

What is the current relationship between Somaliland and Somalia?

We recently began bilateral talks on economic and security co-operation. However, they are yet to accept our Independence. Somalia should accept that the people have a right to self-determination.

We put this question to a referendum in 2001 and it is clear that people do not want to go back to the union. Somalia must lead the way in recognising us so that other countries may follow.

Why did Somaliland skip the London Somalia Conference held in May despite having participated in 2012?

Our president met with UK Prime Minister David Cameron, and it seemed that we did not have any role to play in as far as the conference was structured. It was basically concerning Somalia because the country's president and prime minister were co-chairing the conference

Somalia: Key International Investor Baffled By Rumours of Cancellation of Airport Contract.

Mogadishu - SKA an international company which has invested millions of dollars in Mogadishu's Adan Ade international Airport is deeply baffled by rumours in Mogadishu which say that the Somali government has revoked a license which the company was managing the airport's logistical and handling services.

A copy of statement from SKA , which Shabelle obtained, reads: "We have heard rumors that our contract for the airport management may be cancelled for no apparent reason, however we have not received anything official from the Somalia Federal Government and if this were to happen it would be very bad for the people of Somalia after all the efforts we have made to rehabilitate the Aden Adelle International Airport. We sincerely hope this will not happen and we are very much committed to supporting the Somalia Federal Government and developing the aviation and logistics business in Somalia"

SKA was the first international corporate which has dared to come to Mogadishu during one of the hardest times in the capital when the whole city was at risk of overrun by Islamist militants and the company has invested millions of dollars in renovating and re-employing all neccessary logistic services which made the airport operational again after many years of disuse and destruction.

The invesment which SKA poured into the airport has meanwhile created hundreds of jobs to the local people.

The rumours of that Somali government revoking SKA's license emerged in Some Somali media outlets but there is no official statement from the Somali government and Shabelle tried to contact the Somali government but it didn't succed to get hold of any government official on this matter.

Local analysts in Mogadishu, who spoke to Shabelle believe that if these rumours turn out to be true, it would damage Somalia more than SKA because many Somalis would lose the job, other international investors who might follow SKA's way o finvesting Somalia, would be discouraged to come and invest in the country so they have called on the Somali government to issue a clear statement which can reassure SKA's confindence to continue its investment in Somalia.

Somali-Canadian community condemns ‘Project Traveller’ raids

Erin Criger

Members of the Somali-Canadian community publicly condemned last week’s ‘Project Traveller’ raids, saying Tuesday that the raids were not executed in a lawful manner and that officers destroyed property that belonged to “impoverished” people.

“In the aftermath of the raids, many community members feel victimized, vilified and traumatized as a result of the reckless manner in which officers forcibly entered their homes,”  Mahad Yusuf, executive director of Midaynta Community Services, said in a statement.

“Community members are angered by the destruction of property and disrespectful remarks made by some officers and the police brutality that they were subject to,” he said.

Toronto police as well as officers from across southern Ontario raided several apartment buildings on Dixon Road on Thursday as part of a year-long investigation into illegal gun trafficking and other crimes.

The raids saw 19 people arrested in Toronto and nine in Windsor, and in the investigation overall, 44 people now face 224 charges.

However, the Dixon raids unfairly targeted the Somali community and portrayed them all as possible criminals, argued the executive director of the African Canadian Legal Clinic.

“The community has been further stigmatized by the careless actions of some officers involved in the raid, and the irresponsible conduct of Toronto’s disgraced mayor,” Margaret Parsons said.

Parsons added the community was already dealing with racism and Islamophobia, and the raids portrayed the entire community as possible criminals.

Ethiopian Business News - Banking and Finance

The Export-Import Bank of India has provided USD 300 million loan to the Ethiopian Government railway project. The loan term entail concessional funds at an interest rate of 1.75 per cent.

The fund will be used to construct the railway project to connect the Ethiopian city of Asaita to the port city of Tadjourah in Djibouti. About 50 km of the 210-km long railway will be in Djibouti, while the rest of it lies in Ethiopia.

“Ethiopia being a landlocked nation, the railway link to a port city will provide impetus to growth, particularly in the northern region of our country,” Ahmed Shide Mehmad, the  Ethiopian State Minister for Finance and Development, said.

T.C.A Ranganathan, Chairman and Managing Director of EXIM Bank of India, said after signing of the agreement in New Delhi on Thursday.

Indian Exim Bank has preexisting loan agreements with the Ethiopian Government for the development of sugar factories.

A detailed project appraisal is being prepared by RITES, an Indian public sector enterprise, and it is expected to be submitted within two months, according to Ranganathan.

After financial closure, the Ethiopian Government is expected to call Indian companies, both public and private, for procurement.

UNDP Seeks Security Firms in Somaliland, Kay Won't Say If UNSOM Leaves

Matthew Russell Lee

By Matthew Russell Lee

UNITED NATIONS, June 15 -- While one part of the UN, Mogadishu-based Nicholas Kay as new head of the UNSOM, purports to be wooing Somaliland to accept his mission there, another part of the UN is soliciting bids for "professional security firms" to operate in Hareisa and Burao in Somaliland.

Seeking such services, with bids still open until June 20, is the UN Development Program.

This is the same UNDP involved in handing over Somaliland's air space to Somalia, leading to the suspension of some UN flights in and out of the country, as Inner City Press reported.

Inner City Press has asked the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and WFP Logistics, What's the status of UN flights into Somaliland?

Now on the "UN Global Marketplace" UNDP is inviting, until June 20, qualified professional security firms to submit their interest for security guarding services at the United Nations Common Compounds (UNCC) in Hargeisa and UN Facility in Burao." UNDP specifies:

"The UNCC comprises of five blocks and open spaces covering a total of 13,849 sqm and serves as the sub-office for UNDP and other UN agencies. There are approximately 70 staff members in the compound at any one time. Security is also extended to the nearby UN dispensary in Hargeisa and the Joint UN facility in Burao. The Burao facility has 3 self-contained rooms two conference rooms and is enclosed in a perimeter wall.

The proposer will be responsible for enforcing UN rules and regulations governing the access to UN compounds and facilities under UNDPs control. The proposer should have knowledge of safety and security issues including experiences in operation of fire fighting equipment, assessment of potential threats and crime prevention, operating communication equipment, access control, guarding compounds, patrolling, handling incoming suspicious parcels and dealing with crowds."

To understand these seemingly different approaches from two parts of the UN -- which talk a lot under Secretary General Ban Ki-moon about being "One UN" -- Inner City Press has asked Nick Kay himself, through the Digital Diplomacy social media on which Kay responds for example to UK-based Somalis who claim that even asking about Somaliland makes one a lobbyist for separatism.

How much of the UK's interest in Somalia is as a matter of domestic politics?

Inner City Press asked Kay, did Somaliland's foreign minister tell you UNSOM "should close"? What are the next steps? (One might add, how does this impact the procurement above, including staffing levels?)

The larger point is, there are long-standing and legitimate claims in Somaliland, but the UN or at least parts of it simply ignore them. Is it a matter of bureaucracy? Of the "love of states"? Is it a double standard when compared to the UN's solicitude to other group's claims? These are questions the UN, in the first instance Nicholas Kay, should answer.
