US approves release of Somali man from notorious Guantanamo Bay prison
|
More on yesterday’s story of their release. Kenyan Mohammed Abdul Malik Bajabu and Yemenis Omar Muhammad Ali al-Rammah and Suhayl al-Sharabi are also to be released.
 According to the Geneva Conventions, captured soldiers in uniform are held as prisoners of war until a signed peace treaty ends the war. Illegal combatants can be given a summary court martial by their captors or even more summarily shot in the field. President George W. Bush decided these particular captives ought to be exploited for their intelligence value... Guled Hassan Duran,
...also known as Guleed Hassan Ahmed and Gouled Hassan Dourad, who insisted he did not belong in GITMO since he merely got paramilitary training in Afghanistan and fought Ethiopians in Mogadishu as a member of jihadi group al-Ittihad al-Islami (Islamic Union), founded by Somali mujahiddin returned from Afghanistan, which in turn evolved into Al Qaeeda-linked Al Shabaab in 2003. That the US government has him tagged as an Al Qaeda cell leader in Djibouti is clearly not worth noticing... "I'm a simple, but well-armed, rustic!"
47, received the great news about his impending release on Monday during the 20th anniversary of the prison, which was first established in 2002 in Cuba to hold suspected murderous Moslems across the world.
He was arrested in 2004 in Djibouti by US authorities and was transferred to the facility where he has never been charged. He cannot return to his homeland under a congressional prohibition on the transfer of Guantánamo detainees to Somalia, Libya, Syria, and Yemen

reports.
John F. Kirby, a Pentagon front man, declined to comment on the case or on any approvals that the interagency Periodic Review Board had made but not announced.
"The administration remains dedicated to closing the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay," he said. "Nothing has changed about that."
Since taking over last year, President Joe The Big Guy Biden

has transferred only one detainee from Guantanamo Bay prison. The man from Morocco had his future negotiated by the B.O. regime before temporarily getting halted by Donald Trump

Mr. Kirby also declined to discuss the case of Moath al-Alwi,
...more formally Moath Hamza al-Alwi, accused of having been one of Osama bin Laden’s bodyguards. Arrested by Pakistan on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border in December 2001, he was transferred to Guantanamo Bay shortly thereafter... a Yemeni man in his mid-40s whose sister posted on Facebook that he had also been notified that he was approved for transfer. "We ask Allah to release them all," she said.
Mr. Alwi has become one of Guantánamo’s best-recognized prison artists. In 2018, replicas of sailing ships that he fashioned from found objects in the cellblocks were the centerpieces of "Ode to the Sea," an art show at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York.
Soon after, the Defense Department declared art created by Guantánamo detainees property of the U.S. government and prohibited prisoners from giving pieces to their lawyers or anyone else. Prison staff also stopped showcasing his art in news media visits.
Mr. Duran’s lawyer, Shayana Kadidal of the Center for Constitutional Rights, said he was informed of the approval after his client was notified of the board’s decision on Monday morning. The document, dated Nov. 10, pledged "vigorous efforts will be undertaken to identify a suitable transfer location" that is "outside the United States, subject to appropriate security and humane treatment assurances."
Mr. Duran lived in Sweden as a teenage refugee, has relatives in Canada, and has "good options" for possible resettlement countries, Mr. Kadidal said. He described him as "smart and resourceful and has the experience of living in several different countries."
Somalia is one of the countries closely monitored by the US over terrorism cases. The United States has been also assisting authorities in Mogadishu in the fight against al-Shabaab
