The African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS), a peacekeeping force, is committed to withdrawing by Dec. 31, when a smaller new force is expected to replace it. "The AU and Somalia's government have emphasized the importance of a conditions-based drawdown to prevent any security vacuum," he told Reuters. The Peace and Security Council is due to meet on Somalia later on Thursday to discuss the drawdown and follow-up mission.

Financing for the new mission can only be formally addressed once Somalia and the AU agree on a proposed size and mandate.

Boeing crash families demand record $25bn fine16 hours ago By Christal Hayes , BBC News, Washington ShareReuters Boeing chief executive Dave Calhoun before Congress this weekThe families of victims in two Boeing 737 Max plane crashes have asked for prosecutions and a fine of $24.8bn for "the deadliest corporate crime in US history". The families' lawyer Paul Cassell said the amount was "justified and clearly appropriate" given "enormous human costs of Boeing's crimes". Two 737 Max aircraft were lost in separate but almost identical accidents that killed 346 people. The charge has laid dormant since the company acknowledged in a settlement that it had mislead air-safety regulators about aspects if the 737 Max, and promised to create a new compliance system to detect and prevent further fraud. Last month, prosecutors determined that the settlement was violated when a door panel flew off a 737 Max plane during an Alaska Airlines flight in January, leaving a gaping hole in the fuselage mid-flight.

Several scholars that participated called upon the 11 countries that feed from the Nile River water to come together in order to address the question of equitable distribution of the water resource without leaving out other peoples’ needs and wants, especially the increasing water demand for food, domestic purposes, energy and industrial. One of the key issues raised in the meeting was how best the 11 countries would manage the transboundary water resource for equitable distribution without sidelining other countries. In particular, the Nile River is the primary water source of Egypt, Sudan and South Sudan. The Nile has two major tributaries: the White Nile and the Blue Nile. However, the Blue Nile is the source of most of the water of the Nile downstream, containing 80% of the water and silt.

Exclusive-Somalia asks peacekeepers to slow withdrawal, fears Islamist resurgenceBy Abdi Sheikh, Aaron Ross and Giulia ParaviciniMOGADISHU (Reuters) – Somalia’s government is seeking to slow the withdrawal of African peacekeepers and warning of a potential security vacuum, documents seen by Reuters show, with neighbouring countries fretting that resurgent al Shabaab militants could seize power. But just a few days later, al Shabaab counter-attacked, retaking the town of Cowsweyne. “This broke the hearts of Somalis but gave courage to al Shabaab,” Ahmed Abdulle, the militiaman, from a clan in central Somalia, said in an interview in April.

For his role in this, the new prime minister was awarded the Nobel peace prize in 2019. So after he took power, Abiy was lavished with investment, diplomatic backing – and, most importantly, arms. Now, in his swearing-in speech in April 2018, Abiy asked, in a gesture without any precedent, for “forgiveness from the bottom of my heart”. With the new prime minister quickly pursuing a unilateral political agenda of his own, the Ethiopian state quickly weakened. Eritrean media ramped up anti-TPLF propaganda, accusing it of agitating against Abiy’s peace agreement.

Families of some of the people who died in two Boeing 737 MAX crashes are asking federal officials to fine Boeing $24.8 billion and move quickly to prosecute the company on a criminal charge that was set aside three years ago. The first crash occurred when a Boeing 737 MAX 8 operated by Indonesia’s Lion Air plunged into the Java Sea in October 2018 — and the second in March 2019, when an Ethiopian Airlines 737 MAX 8 crashed nearly straight down into a field six minutes after takeoff from Addis Ababa. The push by the families comes as the Justice Department considers whether to revive a dormant criminal charge of fraud against Boeing. The Justice Department has until July 7 to tell a federal judge in Texas whether it will revive the case. The Justice Department opened an investigation into Boeing after a door plug blew off a 737 MAX during an Alaska Airlines flight in January.
