[ABC] Somalia saw a third day of protests on Saturday over the arrest of the former No. 2 leader of the al-Shabab extremist group, who has been a leading candidate for a regional presidency. Officials said at least eight people have been killed so far as angry supporters take to the streets and clash with police.
The African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia in a statement released overnight called for "utmost restraint" after the gunfire-fueled uproar around Muhktar Robow's
...more formally Sheikh Muktar Ali Robow, known as Abu Mansur when he was frontman for Al Shabaab — before his failed attempt to overthrow senior management in 2013. A busy man, he had trained in Islamic law at the University of Khartoum, taught Somali orphans for the Saudi “charitable” Al-Haramain Foundation, and fought with the Taliban before again returning home to give back to his community as best he could. In 2017 he surrendered to the Somali authorities, denouncing Al Shabaab as mean meanies...
arrest on Thursday in Baidoa, and it denied playing any role.
His arrest is seen as a high-profile test of Somalia's treatment of defectors from the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab, Africa's most active extremist group. Somalia's government welcomed the defection last year by al-Shabab's former spokesman but not his popular candidacy to lead Southwest state, which took some officials by surprise.
Robow was seized by Ethiopian troops accompanied by Somali police, witnesses told The Associated Press. He was flown to the capital, Mogadishu, a Somali intelligence official said. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters or for safety concerns.
Some Somali lawmakers had accused the AU mission of being involved.
Ethiopia's military, which contributes troops to the AU mission, has not commented. Robow's arrest could re-ignite old tensions between Somalia and neighboring Ethiopia despite recent diplomatic breakthroughs in the Horn of Africa sparked by Ethiopia's reformist new prime minister.
[Libya Observer] The security directorate of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... announced Wednesday that its former chief Salah al-Samouie died of his wounds in a hospital in Rome, Italia.
The directorate said on Facebook that al-Samouie succumbed to his wounds sustained from the recent murder attempt in the Italian hospital on Wednesday morning.
Likewise, the Presidential Council mourned the death of al-Samouie, saying he is a true loss for all Libyans as he used to be very committed to serving the country.
The Special Deterrence Force also mourned the former chief's death, saying Libya has "lost one of its faithful fighters."
Al-Samouie was shot in front of his house in Salah Eddine area last November and suffered serious injuries.
The Tripoli-based Special Deterrence Force (SDF) has incarcerated Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! two persons responsible for the attempt to murder the former chief of Tripoli security department.
The SDF said that the criminals who opened fire on Salah Samouie had been placed in jug, naming them as Ayman Zaidan and Ayman Abu Kharis.
"The two persons have confessed to the murder attempt. The motives have been criminal only." SDF said, indicating that there are no terrorist or political motives.

[France24] Fighting broke out on the outskirts of Yemen's port city of Hodeidah on Friday, residents said, a day after a ceasefire agreement was reached by the warring parties at UN-sponsored peace talks.
The main port used to feed Yemen's 30 million people is held by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement that also controls the capital Sanaa and has been battling against a Saudi-led Arab coalition seeking to restore a government ousted in 2014.
Hodeida has been the focus of fighting this year, raising global fears that a battle could cut off supply lines and lead to mass starvation. Yemeni forces backed by the Saudi-led coalition have massed on the city's outskirts.
Despite the ceasefire, one resident told Reuters he could hear the sound of missiles and automatic gunfire in the direction of the eastern 7th July suburb.
Houthi-run Al Masirah TV said coalition warplanes had launched two strikes on Ras Isa city north of Hodeida. The coalition did not immediately confirm the report.
The warring sides agreed after a week of consultations in Sweden to cease fighting in Hodeidah and withdraw their troops as part of confidence-building measures to pave the way for a wider truce and political negotiations.
It was the first significant breakthrough for UN-led peace efforts to end the nearly four-year-old war that has killed tens of thousands of people and pushed Yemen to the brink of famine.
[SABANEWS.NET] The artillery and rocketry forces of the mercenaries of US-backed Saudi-led coalition on Friday shelled several border districts in Saada province, a security official said. The shelling targeted citizens’ farms in Ghaferah area of Dhaher district and caused damages among citizens’ properties, the official added
3 Saudi-led air strikes hit Hodeidah The warplanes of US-backed Saudi-led aggression coalition on Friday launched three air strikes on Hodeidah province, a security official said. The air strikes targeted Kilo 16 area in Hali district, the official said.
Coalition launches airstrike on Sanaa The fighter jets of US-backed Saudi-led coalition on Friday launched an airstrike in Yemen’s Sanaa province, a security official said. The air strike hit Wadi Seham area in Himah kharijia district.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Heavy festivities broke out inside of the strategic city of Hodeidah this evening, despite the fact the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... announced a new ceasefire in the province on Thursday.
According to a report from Hodeidah, Gulf-backed troops launched a new attack against the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... forces inside the placid provincial capital, prompting both sides to engage in a fierce fight for the city.
No advances have been made by either side; however, these new festivities threaten to end this fragile ceasefire just days after it was announced.
The U.N. Yemeni peace talks in Swede were considered a success as all parties agreed to reopen the Sana’a International Airport and impose a province-wide ceasefire in Hodeidah.

[AlAhram] Ottoman Turkish authorities on Friday ordered the arrest of over 200 military personnel in new raids against suspects linked to the attempted coup in 2016, state media reported.
The Istanbul public prosecutor ordered arrest warrants for 219 soldiers on active duty including four colonels and five lieutenant colonels, state news agency Anadolu said.
Istanbul police launched an operation to capture the suspects on Friday morning.
They are believed to have ties to the group led by US-based Moslem preacher Fethullah Gülen ... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world... , a former ally turned foe of President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey... Ankara accuses Gulen of being behind the failed coup but he strongly denies any links.
In Ankara, the capital's public prosecutor issued arrest warrants on Friday for 48 people, mainly working in the arms industry, also over alleged links to Gulen.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... refers to the group as the "Fethullah Terrorist Organisation" but followers insist they have peaceful goals of promoting Islam and secular education.
Over 50,000 people have been jugged ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... since the failed putsch in a purge lambasted by human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... activists and Ankara's Western allies.
Nearly 130,000 public sector workers have been sacked.
Last week, dozens of people including airforce personnel were detained for suspected links to coup-plotters in nationwide operations.
Ottoman Turkish officials insist the raids are necessary to cleanse state institutions of the "virus" of infiltration by the Gulen movement.

Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... leader who is seeking election as a regional president, a military officer and an elder said on Friday.
Authorities incarcerated Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! Mukhtar Robow on Thursday, accusing him of bringing Islamist hard boyz and weapons back to Baidoa, the capital of South West region where he is running for president.
Robow supporters angered by his arrest clashed with police backed by Æthiopian peacekeeping forces in Baidoa, said Hussein Aden, a military officer in the city.
Baidoa elder Saleh Isak accused the authorities of seeking to install its own candidate as president of South West, the first of Somalia’s seven semi-autonomous regions to hold presidential elections in the coming months.
"Yesterday, 10 people died and today they killed a politician," Isak told Rooters by telephone.
The elections are a critical juncture in a growing power struggle between the U.S.-backed central government and regions where al-Shabaab hard boyz retain a presence following a long civil war.
Aden gave a lower corpse count of at least six killed, among them politician Abdishakur Bule.
"He died in cross fire between armed protesters and police this morning. Tension is high and we do not know what to do," Aden told Rooters.
Robow was a prominent al-Shabaab leader and group front man before he publicly renounced violence and recognized federal authority in August 2017.
His front man said he was beaten by Æthiopian troops, part of an African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another.

Officials in the Æthiopian capital Addis Ababa were not immediately reachable for comment.

[Jpost] Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, failed to escalate tensions with Israel on Friday after a week of two drive-by shootings and widespread raids against Hamas activists in the West Bank. Clashes across the West Bank were relatively small, with hundreds participating and one Paleostinian teen reported killed in Jalazone north of Ramallah. The IDF and Border police succeeded in dispersing rioters while Paleostinian Security Forces also cracked down on pro-Hamas demonstrations.
On Thursday night the IDF launched an operation across the West Bank in response to the attack at Givat Asaf in which two soldiers were killed. According to a statement the IDF apprehended 40 suspects, 37 of them known as Hamas activists. According to Paleostinian media Hamas activists were detained in Hebron, Ramallah, Azariya and other areas. Hamas pushed for widespread disturbances across the West Bank, using social media to encourage an "kaboom" in the West Bank. On Friday morning a Paleostinian assailant attacked an IDF soldier at a military post in Beit El.
Hamas held rallies in Gazoo to celebrate the 31st anniversary of its founding on Friday. It hoped to use these rallies to escalate tensions in the West Bank. This would gain it influence in negotiations with Fatah, the leading party in the Paleostinian Authority, where it is trying to get an agreement that would end Hamas isolation in Gazoo. The attacks this week were supposed to showcase Hamas power. However across the West Bank it was unable to gain a purchase through demonstrations or rallies. In the morning there were protests reported in Nablus and Tulkarem in which Hamas flags were seen. Paleostinian Security forces clamped down on the rallies in Nablus and on a Hamas demonstration in Hebron. Women supporters of Hamas played a major role in Hebron, clashing with Paleostinian police. Local media expressed shock that the Paleostinian police used batons against Paleostinian male and female demonstrators.

[IsraelTimes] Latest ’March of Return’ riots held as IDF intensifies crackdown on West Bank in response to spate of terror attacks blamed on Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,
Some 10,000 Paleostinians flocked to the Gazoo Strip border for violent protests on Friday afternoon as the IDF intensified a crackdown in the West Bank in response to a pair of deadly shootings believed to have been carried out by the Hamas terrorist group.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gazoo said 16 protesters were maimed in festivities with Israeli security forces along the border.
The protests were held at various locations along the border under the banner of Hamas’s ongoing "March of Return" demonstrations. According to reports, the "peaceful"
protesters hurled rocks, Molotov cocktails and hand grenades toward Israeli troops. According to the Ynet news site, most of the explosives did not clear the border fence, and fell inside the Strip.
The IDF said two protesters breached the border during the festivities, but quickly retreated back to the other side when IDF troops neared.
The weekly protests come after several weeks of relative calm in Gazoo. However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... the last week has seen a spike in terror attacks in the West Bank, some of which were claimed by Hamas.
Hamas declared Friday to be a "Day of Rage," saying this week’s protests were meant to celebrate the founding of the group dedicated to the destruction of Israel 31 years ago. Hamas called for West Bank Paleostinians to confront Israeli security forces throughout the day, but the protests did not see a large turnout.
