Le président somalien a lancé un appel à la communauté internationale pour venir en aide aux blessés du double attentat à la voiture piégée qui a fait 100 morts samedi dans la capitale Mogadiscio, alors que les bulldozers continuent lundi de déblayer le site de l’explosion à la recherche de victimes sous les décombres.

Les islamistes radicaux shebab ont revendiqué l’attentat, le plus meurtrier depuis cinq ans, affirmant que leurs combattants avaient visé le ministère de l’Education. L’attaque a également fait au moins 300 blessés.

Deux véhicules piégés ont explosé samedi sur une artère très fréquentée à quelques minutes d’intervalle. 

Les explosions, qui ont soufflé les fenêtres des bâtiments voisins, ont submergé les hôpitaux et cliniques, dans ce pays au système sanitaire ravagé par des décennies de conflit.

“Nous appelons la communauté internationale, les frères somaliens et les autres frères (…) à envoyer des médecins en Somalie pour aider les hôpitaux à soigner les blessés”, avait déclaré dimanche le président Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, en soulignant que le nombre de victimes pourrait encore augmenter.

“Nous ne pouvons pas transporter par avion tout ce nombre de blessés (…). Nous demandons à quiconque pouvant nous envoyer de l’aide de le faire”, avait poursuivi le chef de l’Etat, après avoir lui-même donné son sang.

“En guerre”

La Somalie et “ces terroristes sont en guerre”, avait également affirmé le président Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Pour le chef de l’Etat, ce double attentat montre que les islamistes shebab ont “perdu et (…) sont incapables de contrer l’armée, de sorte qu’ils se sont faufilés pour massacrer des civils innocents”.

L’attaque a eu lieu au même carrefour qui avait déjà été frappé par le plus grave attentat jamais commis en Somalie : 512 personnes avaient été tuées le 14 octobre 2017 par l’explosion d’un camion bourré d’explosifs.

La communauté internationale a rapidement condamné le double attentat. 

La mission de l’ONU en Somalie s’est engagée à se tenir “résolument aux côtés de tous les Somaliens contre le terrorisme” et Washington a vilipendé une attaque “haineuse” et assuré les autorités somaliennes de leur “soutien dans le combat pour prévenir de tels attentats terroristes impitoyables”.

Le mouvement jihadiste des shebab, lié à Al-Qaïda, combat depuis 2007 le gouvernement fédéral soutenu par la communauté internationale. 

Il a été chassé de Mogadiscio en 2011 mais reste solidement implanté dans de vastes zones rurales, notamment dans le sud du pays et mène régulièrement des attaques dans la capitale et les grandes villes de Somalie.

Ces derniers mois, les shebab ont redoublé d’activité en Somalie, pays pauvre et instable de la Corne de l’Afrique, avec notamment un spectaculaire assaut, long d’une trentaine d’heures, fin août sur un hôtel de Mogadiscio. 

Après cette attaque qui avait fait au moins 21 morts et 117 blessés, le président Hassan Cheikh Mohamoud avait promis une “guerre totale” pour éliminer les shebab et appelé la population à se “tenir à l’écart” des zones contrôlées par les islamistes qui allaient être visés par de prochaines offensives.

Les islamistes radicaux shebab ont également revendiqué l’attaque d’un hôtel de Kismayo, dans le sud du pays, le 23 octobre, qui avait fait 9 morts et 47 blessés.

Les forces de sécurité et des milices claniques locales ont notamment lancé des opérations militaires dans le centre du pays, qui ont permis selon les autorités de reprendre du terrain aux combattants islamistes.

Outre l’insurrection shebab, la Somalie est également menacée par une famine imminente, provoquée par la plus grave sécheresse observée depuis plus de 40 ans.

Runway 10 Development Company engage Aviation Entrepreneurs

RUNWAY10 DEVELOPMENT COMPANY ENGAGE AVIATION ENTREPRENEURS

Runway 10 Development Company is on a mission to develop V.C.Bird International Airport’s General Aviation by creating a business platform for Antigua’s aviation entrepreneurs.

The mission set to coincide with the celebration of our 41st anniversary of Independence, is the gifting of 33 years of aviation experience of the owners of Runway 10 lands, in a proposed development with Antigua’s Aviation entrepreneurs.

Inspired by a new direction for generational wealth proposed by a local investment platform soon to be launched in December, Antigua Hangars Inc. owner of 26 plus acres of lands around the 5000 ft runway owned by the Government, is among the first locally owned companies to be involved and act upon it.

Engagement has begun with several operators of General Aviation Services expressing need for operating space to further develop and uplift aviation in Antigua.

Runway 10 Development Company welcomes the interest expressed by all those who are investing, and those enquiring about opportunities.

We are mindful of the great history made in Aviation by a pioneer hailing from the island of St. Kitts, Sir Frank Delisle, who started LIAT from two islands which only had landing strips, Montserrat and Barbuda.

Runway 10, now Dis-used, must honour this man who created LIAT, and also re-activated the U.S. abandoned runway by establishing his charter airline Carib Aviation on Runway 10.

To this end, the program to encourage the development of Runway 10 by Antiguan aviation entrepreneurs, shall include a project to have the Government recognize him by renaming Runway 10, the Frank Delisle Private Airport.

‘Justice for Kenny’: AUA students stage protest in honour of friend left severely injured in road accident

Black Immigrant Daily News

By Gemma Handy/NEWSCO

‘Kenny was an angel’.

Those were the simple yet poignant words on one placard when devastated medical students took their anger, frustration and heartbreak to the street in honour of their friend left critically injured in a road accident.

American University of Antigua (AUA) students are demanding justice and urgent overseas treatment for Kenneth Mathew, who suffered a severe brain injury in the October 23 incident in Friars Hill Road.

Mathew, a 21-year-old first semester medical student from Dubai, and pre-med student Priyanjana Das, 19, had been crossing the recently resurfaced highway after leaving a university party at Stratos Bar and Lounge when they were struck by a car said to have been driven by Karim Edwards.

The 45-year-old accountant allegedly initially fled the scene before later handing himself into police. He appeared before court on Friday morning charged with dangerous driving, was stripped of his driving licence and bailed.

Police previously said they anticipated Edwards would be charged with leaving the scene of an accident.

But yesterday, Head of the Police Traffic Department, Rodney Ellis, told Observer, “You have 24 hours to report an accident; this individual returned to the scene within an hour.”

Today, Mathew – who had planned to dedicate his life to helping others – lies motionless in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with brain injuries that his friends say are likely irreparable.

Das suffered such severe damage to her right arm that it was amputated. Sources told Observer yesterday that she was “doing better” but remained “traumatised” by the loss of her dominant limb.

Her parents are by her hospital bedside and are also in need of “emotional support”, the source added.

Several of Mathew’s friends took part in Friday night’s demonstration. Another banner bore the frank statement: ‘You ruined their lives’.

Their visit to the scene of the tragedy also unearthed the heart-wrenching discovery of the remains of Mathew’s watch – as broken and shattered as its owner.

Poignant discovery: Students found the remains of Kenneth Mathew’s watch on the highway (Photo contributed)

“We found it where the accident was,” one student told Observer. “We kept it.”

Plans remain underway to fly both students overseas for specialist care not available locally.

Das’ parents are in the process of arranging airlift for her.

Mathew’s friends previously made desperate pleas for him to be flown out of the country swiftly, saying “every hour matters to save his life”.

Meanwhile, AUA has been offering counselling to students in the aftermath of the incident.

Last week, the university issued a statement thanking the public for its “tremendous show of support” for the injured pair, adding that AUA was doing everything possible to assist both the victims and their loved ones.

Franz responds: THIS is why, Gaston Browne!

THIS is why, Gaston Browne!

It is alarming, mind blowing and unfortunate that —  at a time in this country when working-class people under this government cannot get paid; when elders can’t get their Social Security pension on time; when the price for food is skyrocketing; when residents can’t get water in their pipes; when the health care system is crumbling; and when the infrastructure of the country is falling apart – the only consideration of Prime Minister and chief policy-maker Gaston Browne is why I have returned to the country of my birth, whey me nable tring bury…

Well, since you ask, I will tell you: I have come to fight for the liberation of my community and my country from vagabonds and exploiters like you and Cutie Benjamin, possibly the worst leaders the Caribbean has ever seen.

I was socialized and trained by both my parents — whom I know — to love, cherish and serve others.

I have taken that knowledge and lived in the wilderness of another man’s land to accomplish my greatest achievement: raising and educating both my children, who I know are mine.

I have learned much from serving others around the world, and I will now apply that experience to the development of my Nation.

You have been in political leadership for decades and Prime Minister for the past eight years, and you have  served only yourself, using your family, and your cronies. No one will remember your name when the people remove you from office. Your name will be obliterated form the books of history. Your generations will suffer because of your idiocy.

Now, I have received the call and have answered – to free the people of City South and serve my Nation. There is no higher work to which I can devote my life.

My task is to mobilize my brothers and sisters, the citizens and residents of this country, and collectively drive the proverbial bullbud in your tail.

We will then, as a people, march to our promised land; a land that we will develop for all the people:  those born here and those who have made this country their home. We will repair and build a nation in which all our people can grow, thrive, prosper; a land of which our children yet unborn can be proud.

I am going to be the thorn in your flesh.  I am going to remind the people how nasty, greedy, wicked, bad minded, and treasonous you are. I am going to drive the bullbud under your tail.

I pledge to expose the criminal industrial complex over which you and your cronies preside. We will ALL soon know the source of your sudden wealth.

Nothing you do or say will deter me.  I will continuously use my platforms to share ideas, educate, inspire and develop our people while you spew hate; slander the names of citizens and residents of this country; and bully your weak Cabinet colleagues.

I have been called for a time such as this, and no weapon formed against me will prosper; so come, try me, cause ebry bully hab dem cooler.

ACP Sealy Underscores Need For Continuous Police Training – St. Lucia Times News

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: St. Lucia Times News

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Dr. Mashama Sealy has stressed the need for continuous training of police officers who face hazardous situations in civilian clothing or uniform daily.

Sealy spoke last week at the end of an officer post-probationary course.

She explained that training and knowledge are essential.

According to the senior police officer, they help determine success or failure and provide the required skills to avoid dangerous situations and do what is right in mediating situations.

“It is not just a matter of merely surviving a course,” Sealy stated.

“But instead, it is about appropriating the skills, knowledge and abilities and practices that were passed on to you during the course which must become second nature to you as police officers,” she told course participants.

“Knowledge is not only power, but it is also the key to effectiveness, efficiency, productivity and success,” Sealy asserted.

“You decide how effective you are as a police officer based on the implementation and the application of knowledge provided to you during this course,” she said.

However, Sealy observed that training and education are more than merely sitting in a classroom and earning a certificate.

She said the application of the new-found knowledge the course participants had gained would help to maintain efficiency and proficiency, which must be continuous.

Sealy encouraged the officers to perform their duties professionally and not allow distractions to cause them to stray from what is right.

She congratulated the officers on completing the course.

And Sealy looked forward to the participants being the best at their department duties.

“You are the future of our organisation,” she declared.

Dominica’s Anichi Resort & Spa Provides A 2% Annual Return While Under Construction

Black Immigrant Daily News

News Americas, Roseau, Dominica, Mon. Oct. 31, 2022: Anichi Resort & Spa will be providing a 2% annual return to investors despite being under construction. The management of the much-anticipated five-star luxury resort and spa in Dominica has said that the project is in full swing, and that once construction is completed, annual returns will be based on the resort’s operation. 

Following an official update, an estimated 70% of the project is now complete; this includes the flooring as well as an extensive electricity infrastructure. The resort is being built on 12 acres of land, with 128 rooms. I will host world-class amenities, such as a lagoon swimming pool, an infinity pool, restaurants, a business centre and many others. Overlooking a picturesque beach, the resort will tastefully blend its modern architecture with the landscape’s tropical foliage.  

Developed by Oriental Developers (Caribbean) Ltd, the resort will form part of the Autograph Collection, a premium international brand developed by renowned hotelier Marriott International. This links the resort to more than 100 luxury lifestyle hotels across 30 countries and territories – all of which have been constructed as part of Autograph Collection Hotels. Furthermore, Anichi Resort will be managed by Highgate, a dominant player in major US gateway cities with a growing footprint in the Caribbean and Latin America.  

Anichi Resort & Spa is also one of the premium real estate options approved by the Dominican government’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme. The CBI Index of 2022, published by the PWM Magazine of the Financial Times, recognises it as the “World’s Best Citizenship by Investment Programme”. The minimum investment threshold for Anichi Resort & Spa is $220,000 (USD), an expenditure which also comes with lifetime Dominican citizenship and property ownership.

The resort will bolster the tourism sector and generate extensive employment for locals. The country already occupies a notable position, ranking first among 25 other Caribbean islands – winning due to its lush green jungles, hot springs and striking black-sand beaches. Annually, scores of investors fly to Dominica owing to its large number of government-approved investment projects. The Citizenship by Investment Programme of Dominica allows these individuals to purchase freehold shares in government-approved properties.  

Anichi Resort & Spa provides investors and CBI applicants with a Return on Investment (ROI) as well as a route towards diversifying their portfolios and planning their wealth

The Prime Minister of Dominica, Dr Roosevelt Skerrit, praised the CBI Programme, “Thanks to the real-estate investment option of the Citizenship by Investment Programme,” he noted, “the country is catching the attraction of travel-enthusiasts and is now known for [its] luxury tourism offering. Under the Citizenship Programme, investors looking to expand their real estate portfolio have the opportunity to invest in established luxury hotel brands and villas.” 

Dominica’s real estate investment option has long provided premium, luxury projects for investment. A prior example of this is Secret Bay, a real estate property which paid out more than $1 million (USD) in returns to investors. The Residences at Secret Bay also promises great returns, having drawn more than 100 Citizenship by Investment (CBI) owners. The resort has already won a number of awards, and it is anticipated that Anichi Resort & Spa will likewise be counted as one of the jewels in Dominica’s real estate crown.

Anichi Resort promises to be a meaningful asset during this time of global uncertainty. CS Global Partners, a legal consulting firm working in the investment citizenship field, noted that, beyond the resort’s world-class architecture and lush surrounding environment, “[t]he project also brings in interest from investors keen to participate in the development through Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme. Once completed, the resort promises to transform Dominica’s tourism sector while also boosting employment for the local community”.

Concurrently, Dominica is witnessing the construction of several other hotels, including a Hilton hotel, which will also fall under the government-approved real estate investment options of the country’s CBI programme. Many of these properties are being built to be sustainable and climate-resilient, with the continued construction of such resorts and hotels positioning the island as a top destination for eco-luxury resorts.

Dominica’s real estate is thus proving to be a popular option among investors and high net-worth individuals (HNWIs). Bolstering investment is the strength of the country’s CBI programme. The credibility and trustworthiness of Dominica’s programme has been maintained since its launch almost three decades ago, and it has been ranked the world’s best CBI programme for its sixth consecutive year. Alongside alternative citizenship, the Citizenship by Investment Programme of Dominica provides a number of other opportunities to investors. These include:

The ability to become a global citizen and be part of a global community transcends Dominica’s land borders.

The ability to hold multiple citizenships.

A citizenship that is granted for life and can be passed on to future generations.

An opportunity to provide families and children with a peaceful, stable, safe and welcoming home. 

Access to countless business opportunities, with the option of portfolio diversification. 

Enhanced opportunities for wealth planning and expanding business overseas.

A stable currency, with Dominica’s currency, the East Caribbean Dollar (XCD), pegged to USD. 

These factors, combined with alternative citizenship, present individuals with a rich array of business and personal advantages. As the success and promise of the Anichi Resort & Spa attest, the island along with its CBI programme offers investment with unrivalled returns.

A businessman who is a licensed firearm holder, helped to foil a robbery along Mountain View Avenue at the intersection with Stanton Terrace in St Andrew on Saturday afternoon.

Reports are that the businessman saw a robbery being committed by two men at the intersection, and intervened.

The men robbed the victim of a phone and ran, and the licensed firearm holder gave chase.

Another businessman soon joined the chase, and the men were found hiding in a gully.

They were reportedly found with several cellular phones.

The Corporate Communications Unit (CCU), the police’s information arm, confirmed that the Stadium police took two alleged robbers into custody.

The police theorised that the men were on a robbery spree because of the number of phones they had in their possession.

Of the two suspects in custody, one is said to have been on the police’s radar and is known to be from Rockfort in East Kingston.

Formal charges expected to be laid against the two men after the police’s investigations are completed.
