ኢትዮጵያ ሲአይኤ የቶርቸር ፕሮግራም ከሚፈጽምባቸው 54 ሀገራት አንዷናት…

የአሜሪካው የስለላ ተቋም CIA የሚፈልጋቸውን ሰዎች ለመያዝ፣ ለማሰር፣ ለማጓጓዝ፣ ለመከታተል እና ለማሰቃየት ሰፊ የሆነ መረብ መዘርጋቱን ፎክስ ዶት ኮም የተሰኘ የወሬ ምንጭ አስነብቧል፡፡

CIA ዓለም አቀፍ አሸባሪዎች ናቸው ያላቸውን ሰዎች ለመያዝ እና ለማጓጓዝ 54 ሀገሮችን እንደሚጠቀምም ተመልክቷል፡፡

ምንም አንኳ 54ቱም ሀገራት የሲአይኤን የቶርቸር ፕሮግራም በቀጥታ ባይደግፉም በተዘዋዋሪም የዚሁ ፕሮግራም ማስፈጸሚያዎች መሆናቸውን ድረገጹ ዘግቧል፡፡

ከዚህም ባለፈ ሲአይኤ ካለ ሀገራቱ ፈቃድ የሚፈልጋቸውን ሰዎች በመያዝ እና በማዘዋወርም እንደሚሰራ ተገልጿል፡፡

ይህ ካርታም የሲአይኤ የቶርቸር ፕሮግራም በፍላጎትም ይሁን ያለ ፍላጎት የሚፈጸምባቸውን ሀገራት ያሳያል...The CIA torture program was even bigger than the details released in the Senate Intelligence Committee torture report might suggest. The reason is that the CIA didn't just have its own torture program, run out of its "black site" secret detention and torture prisons broad. It also used a vast network of other countries to help capture, detain, transport, and, yes, torture detainees.

That network is best shown by looking at the CIA's extraordinary rendition program. This is the program under which the CIA would detain and transport suspected terrorists with the help of foreign governments. In all, a stunning 54 countries participated in the CIA-run rendition program. Here they are:

All 54 countries that participated in the CIA's rendition program (Anand Katakam)

Whether or not all 54 of those countries are complicit in the CIA torture program is debatable. The program could work in a number of different ways; each of these countries supported the CIA's rendition program, but not every country directly participated in torture.

Sometimes the detainees were captured by the CIA with the help of foreign governments, sometimes captured entirely by foreign governments, which would then hand them over. Sometimes they were shipped to CIA-run black sites in foreign countries, and sometimes handed off to foreign intelligence agencies that would detain and torture them in their own facilities. Sometimes, more modestly but still consequentially, friendly foreign governments would help the CIA in finding, arresting, or transporting suspected terrorists.

But the point of this map is that, however vast and shadowy the CIA's torture program was, the agency's associated and often-linked program of extraordinary rendition was even vaster and more shadowy. There is, and will probably forever remain, a great deal about the CIA's post-9/11 programs that is still unknown.

Islamabad: Pakistan is among the 10 worst countries along with Iran and China on the index of internet freedom, according to a global survey released today.

Freedom House released its 'Freedom on the Internet 2014' report, which surveyed 65 countries and listed the index on obstacles to internet access, limits placed on internet content, and violations of internet user rights.

It showed Pakistan at 10th position, one step down from the 11th worst in 2013, an increase in the restrictions imposed on the internet.

Its gradual fall during the past four years continues when it was 13th from the bottom in 2011.

Majority among the top ten worst countries are from Asia, including Iran, Syria, China, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

Only Cuba and Ethiopia are two others non-Asian among the top ten, placed at fourth and fifth positions.

The report cites cases of internet abuse in 2014 including killing of three persons for being gay by a man who used social media to identify their sexual orientation.

It says a judge in Punjab sentenced a Christian couple to death for blasphemy in relation to a text message they deny sending, while a lawyer defending a professor for alleged blasphemous FaceBook post was killed.

The report shows that the limitations on content were unchanged and the popular video-sharing YouTube remained blocked on government orders since September 2012.

Nighat Daad of the Digital Rights Foundation, which collaborated in the preparation of report, said internet censorship does not augur well for the democratic system of the country.

"Pervasive and increased government control on the internet whether in form of censorship or with new surveillance tactics, is limiting freedom of expression and amplifying self-censorship among the internet users in Pakistan," she said.

Ethiopia: Prime minister Accused International Criminal Court (ICC)

Wednesday, November 26, 2014
DjibTalk News International / Djibouti

Addis Ababa: Public Diplomacy and National security news. Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn defended his government’s policies and accused the International Criminal Court (ICC) of “intimidating” African leaders.

“Proof of this is the economic performance that made Ethiopia one of the fastest growing economies in the world,” Desalegn said at a parliamentary session. “In this fiscal year, our growth is projected at 11.4 percent, which surpasses the average 5-percent growth in the rest of Africa,” he said.

The Ethiopian premier said his country was implementing railway and manufacturing projects worth a total of $6.4 billion.

“The ongoing railway project, covering a total length of 2,095km, is the biggest of all the mega-projects in the country,” he said.

“So far, work on 1,500km of the stated project is well in progress in two corridors, the first one being the route from Addis Ababa to Djibouti and the other running from Mekelle to Awash [towns located to the north and east of the Ethiopian capital respectively],” Desalegn added.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn went on to say that funds for the project had been obtained from Turkey, Brazil, Russia and China, and from the government treasury. “However, the global economic crisis has delayed release of the funds,” he said, adding that seven out of ten planned sugar production factories would be built this year.
The Ethiopian premier said his government was committed to safeguarding the sovereignty of the country and fighting terrorism.

“There are anti-peace elements recruited by the Asmara government [in Eritrea] to implement its destructive plan. Some of them are hiding in the opposition camp, while others are caught serving such a government under the guise of journalism,” he said.

In this light, Desalegn said, it was the duty of the Ethiopian government to bring such “criminals” to court. Turning to the Ebola outbreak, which has killed thousands in West Africa, Desalegn said Ethiopia would participate in the global fight against Ebola, saying medical staff from the Ethiopian army would join their African counterparts in Ebola-hit countries.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn went on to accuse the ICC of “intimidating” African leaders.

“Our policy is clear from the outset – that the court is made to intimidate and harass African leaders,” he said. “We will continue to formally stand against it [the court] and will make our position known when the time comes.”

Last week, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta appeared before the ICC at The Hague to answer charges of crimes against humanity. The ICC has also issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Sudan’s western Darfur province.

According to the report, South Africa has recorded a total of 165 395 inmates in April 2014. This was followed by Ethiopia with 93 044 and Morocco with 72 816 prisoners.

The study revealed 2.3% of South Africa’s inmates in April were female, while 0.3% of the prisoners were minors.

There were 27.8% pre-trial detainees and 5.3% foreigners.

South Africa’s official capacity is 119 890 inmates, which means occupancy level is 127.7% over.

The report further found western African countries locked up 46 people per 100 000 population. In southern African countries this figure spiked to 205 people per 100 000 population.

Other significant findings were that almost half of the world’s prisoners are in the United States, China or Russia – countries which barely account for a quarter of the world’s population.

There are more than 10.2 million prisoners around the world.

“It is of grave concern that there are now over 10.2 million men, women and children held in penal institutions throughout the world. What is of graver concern is that the world prison population continues to rise, despite the fact that imprisonment is a highly expensive option for governments, as well as being inappropriate and ineffective for the majority of prisoners who come from minority and marginalised groups, or who are mentally ill or who are alcohol and drug abusers,” said the director of the ICPS, Peter Bennett.

“The International Centre for Prison Studies calls on those governments with high or rising rates of imprisonment to reduce their prison populations and to seek alternatives to custody in the interests of good economy, effectiveness in sentencing and the achievement of internationally agreed standards.”
