  A huge explosion went off this morning in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, hardly a day after another blast brought down a hotel hosting government officials in Jowhar, Hir-Shabelle state.

The explosion, which reverberated across several neighbourhoods in Banadir region, took place in Ali-kamin neighbourhood of Warta-Nabada district in Banadir region.

Initial reports indicate that the explosion targeted ATMIS troops who were travelling along the Ali Kamin intersection in the Wartanabad district of Banadir region.

Eyewitnesses said a remote controlled landmine hit one of the army’s vehicles resulting in casualties, although no independent body has yet confirmed the claims.

The AU troops are said to have responded with an artillery of fire immediately the explosion went off and later proceeded with their journey after calm was restored. 

.In a similar news, The Somali Federal government on Sunday evening airlifted some of the victims who were wounded in the Jowhar bomb attack to Mogadishu for further medical treatment.

A Somali government delegation led by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management Khadija Mohamed Diriye was at standby to receive the victims at the Aden Abdullahi airport.

According to the region’s State president Ali Gudlawe, three people, a soldier and two civilians were killed and 7 others including two regional ministers were wounded in the Sunday terror attack.

HirShabelle spokesperson, Da’ud Haji Irro said that the regional Minister of Women and Health was among those wounded in yesterday’s explosion.

A truck loaded with explosives was driven into a hotel known as Nur Dob, usually frequented by Hirshabelle State government officials.

Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack, saying they had targeted the hotel where the region’s senior officials were staying.

ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION

MOZAMBIQUE

In Mozambique, attacks appear to indicate that the insurgents are working towards capturing southern territory and closer to Pemba. Pemba has long been considered to be a haven in the province, but the recent bout of armed incursions in surrounding towns and villages has changed the risk status of Pemba. The militants have been moving in smaller cells that are mostly used for stealth operations which often include killings, looting, and arson before retreating to the forest. The recent attacks and propaganda images come as intelligence indicates that the militants have been establishing bases in the forest between Meluco and Macomia districts.

Additionally, contrary to the information released by Mozambique’s official channels, HUMINT indicates that the group is well prepared, with supplies and numbers, and appears to be gearing itself to advance further south into Pemba. Pemba is the main command and logistical hub SAMIM. While the militants appear to be headed south it is crucial to note that with the attention of the allied troops scattered, areas in the north and central that have been liberated from the militants are left vulnerable to resurgence and reoccupation by the militants.

The terror organization which was recently rebranded to Islamic State Mozambique (IS-MOZ) has been making waves with an increased number of attacks across most of the districts in Cabo Delgado. As evidenced by the incident reports herein, the number of attacks has increased with the majority of the attacks being on Christian targets, churches as well as arson attacks on the villages. While on the surface it appears that the militancy is expanding its territory, it is a strategic move by the newly minted IS-MOZ to stretch thin the already inadequate security resources in the province.

In late June Mozambican authorities in Sofala arrested and detained for questioning five individuals; three Somalis and two Kenyans on suspicion of having links to the insurgency in Cabo Delgado. The arrests come as the insurgency is believed to be receiving recruits from across the East African region as reinforcements. Intelligence indicated that in June when the resurgence of IS-MOZ began the militancy was expecting reinforcement from Kenya and DRC and crossing into CD through Mtwara.

In June, Islamic State-MOZ claimed the first attack in Nampula Province which occurred in Mithope village in Memba where at least a dozen militants attacked and looted before retreating. The group tends to conduct such attacks when establishing new territories and as such the attacks are both logistical as well as tactical to test the security forces while at the same time instilling fear among the residents.

It appears that IS-MOZ is working overtime to rebrand as an independent Mozambique province since it has been part of the Central African province. It has been seeking to claim headlines and has received praises from ISIS-Central. It is especially observed in the brutal pictures of attacks in the past few weeks which have heightened the threat by the group and continue to spread fear not only in Cabo Delgado but also in neighboring provinces.

DRC

Intelligence indicates that the increasing attacks in Ituri are being launched and coordinated from new bases that have since been erected in Monge hill and other strongholds in several villages in Walese Vonkutu chiefdom. ISCAP has set up new positions in the western part in Mutueyi, Kasoko, Akwekwe, Ntume, and Monge on the hill of Butani called Madina 2″.

Tensions continue to rise between Rwanda and DRC as Kinshasa accuses Kigali of deploying at least 500 troops on its soil. The accusation comes amid a sharp deterioration of relations between the countries over the recent resurgence of the M23 militia in the DRC’s volatile east.

MONUSCO provided technical and scientific police in Beni, North Kivu, with equipment to prevent bomb attacks in the city. They include 40 telescopic mirrors for the search and inspection of vehicles but also a hundred portable metal detectors that will aid in the fight against ISCAP.

The East Africa Community (EAC) passed the decision to deploy a Kenya-led regional force to the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo in order to restore peace and stabilize the region. Intelligence Analysts maintain that while the regional force is necessary especially as ISCAP and M23 seem to have resurged, the tensions between DRC and Rwanda could hinder the success of the force. Additionally, in recent years the discontentment of the civilians in North Kivu and Ituri is at an all-time high, and as such a military solution that is not backed by political, social, and reconciliation strategies will almost certainly fail.

Islamic State Mozambique Continues To Employ Attack Tactics Directed At Stretching And Exhausting The Security Forces’ Resources And Morale In Cabo Delgado

Islamic State Mozambique (IS-MOZ) Continues To Employ Attack Tactics Directed At Stretching And Exhausting The Security Forces’ Resources And Morale In Cabo Delgado

The Islamic State Mozambique (IS-MOZ) continued with its violent campaigns in the vast province of Cabo Delgado after the militants attacked locations in Meluco and Macomia districts.

In Meluco, terrorists burned several houses in Iba village. While a unit of the Defense and Security Forces had been deployed from Macomia to Iba, the group had already abandoned the village. Terrorists also attacked Chocomo village for the second time within a month burning houses as most of the village was deserted by civilians for fear of an attack.

In the past two weeks, attacks by the insurgency have become more sporadic and stretched over large areas. While the initial speculation was that the group was expanding and seeking to expand its territory it is gradually becoming a battle strategy.  The current pattern of insurgency activities is increasingly shifting by guerilla raids on remote, vulnerable targets across multiple districts. This is a strategy that is geared at stretching and exhausting the security forces’ resources.

is it true that MUSEVENI is looking at the conflict in DRC as an opportunity .Is uganda treacherous towards DRC in respect to the M23 attacks in Rutshuru....

 Uganda expanded its area of influence at the expense of Rwanda, which had not been consulted and took umbrage... and woke up the M23 rebels. And the war has resumed in eastern Congo," said a Western diplomat based in Kampala.

For Congolese fleeing armed groups, Uganda is a valuable refuge. It is also one of the few countries in the world to pursue a policy of open borders for refugees from neighbouring countries. "It is the country in Africa that hosts the most refugees (1.5 million), and they have complete freedom of movement, the right to work, access to health and education. Everything but the right to vote," said Philippe Kuessan of UNHCR's Uganda office.

"President Museveni, in power since 1986, likes to show the world that his country is an oasis of stability," said a Western diplomat based in Kampala.

But why pursue such a policy?

« President Museveni, in power since 1986, likes to show the world that his country is an oasis of stability," said a Western diplomat based in Kampala. "This is true, except that he is also involved in the problems ravaging neighboring countries, both in South Sudan and Congo, where he takes advantage of the instability to carry out lucrative trafficking. After a suicide attack by the Islamist terrorist group ADF in its capital last October, the Ugandan government asked Kinshasa to be able to send troops to Congo to hunt down its fighters. This allowed Uganda to expand its area of influence at the expense of Rwanda, which had not been consulted and took umbrage... and woke up the M23 rebels. And the war has resumed in eastern Congo... »

In addition, Ugandan troops, who had already fought in the DRC in the early 2000s, behave in Congo as in conquered territory: illegal exploitation of resources (wood, gold, coltan...), massive violations of human rights denounced in particular by Amnesty International. Which contribute to the flight of Congolese civilians to Uganda... A lasting solution to such humanitarian tragedies should therefore first require a genuine political dialogue for peace.

"Where are all these young refugees going?"

Moreover, while Uganda generously opens its borders to refugees, it is mainly international humanitarian donors who are footing the bill. "The Ugandan government is promoting the settlement of refugees in impoverished areas of the country where it has invested little," said one humanitarian actor. "Because he knows that foreign partners will develop infrastructure that will greatly benefit local populations: schools, health centers, water supply. »

Moreover, as Human Rights Watch explains, "Uganda's 2021 elections, again won by President Yoweri Museveni, were marred by violence and repressive tactics. Security forces arbitrarily arrested and beat opposition supporters and journalists, killed protesters, and disrupted opposition rallies. »

« Museveni can brandish the one and a half million refugees his country is sheltering to avoid being too accountable to the international community for human and political rights. " says Ugandan journalist Ignatius Mujisha Bahizi. "And it's good to welcome refugees, but you have to be able to take care of them. There are already not enough secondary schools for Ugandan citizens: where will all these young refugees go? The situation is really tense... »

Puntland armed Forces Seized a Boat Packed with Weapons on Shores of Gulf of Aden Meant for Al-Shabaab

 


Puntland Security Forces Seize Boat Packed with Weapons on Shores of Gulf of Aden Meant for Al-Shabaab

Puntland Security Forces (PSF) successfully seized a boat packed with assortment of weapons on the shores of the Gulf of Aden in the city of Bosasso, Puntland region, Somalia.

Smugglers doing business with Al-Shabaab using small boats have been sneaking weapons into Puntland and finally landing into the hands of the Al-Qaeda aligned Al-Shabaab.  In recent months, the coastal areas in Puntland, northeastern Somalia has witnessed a surge in the smuggling of illegal weapons from war-torn Yemen.

At least two boats packed with weapons were sighted on the shores along Bandar-Bayla coast in Karkaar. Acting on intelligence from locals, PSF were able to swiftly seize the two boats and arrested 19 sailors on board, three of whom were foreigners and 16 Somalis.

Puntland Maritime Police Force [PMPF] confirmed of the confiscation of weapons including AK-47s. Its unfortunate some of the weapons might have been looted by the locals as the authorities. The uncontrolled purchase of firearms has been a major boost for Al-Shabaab in Somalia.

 Authorities further noted that the boats were carrying the weapons to the Al-Shabaab-controlled coastal town of Harar-Dhere in the Mudug region, central Somalia. The reports of Al-Shabaab getting weapons from Yemen have been in the public domain for a long. Those arrested to be probed on aiding the Al-Shabaab militant group acquire the illicit weapons.


IS IT TRUE THAT A UGANDA SOLDIER SHOT DOWN TWO CONGOLESE SOLDIERS..



n uncontrolled element of the Ugandan UPDF army opened fire on two elements of the armed forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo FARDC in the rural commune of Bulongo in the Rwenzori sector in Beni territory on Monday, July 4.

This information is confirmed by the spokesman of the FARDC UPDF joint operations Colonel MAK AZUKAY who indicates that the two FARDC soldiers died on the spot. The perpetrator of this act was directly arrested by these comrades-in-arms.

The causes and circumstances that led this Ugandan soldier to shoot the two Congolese soldiers are not yet revealed. The Congolese and Ugandan army have opened an investigation, says Colonel Mak Azukay.

It should be noted here that it is since November 2021 that the Ugandan updf army has been conducting joint operations with the Congolese army, the FARDC for the total neutralization of the ADF rebels and their auxiliaries in the beni and Irumu region.
