The Covert Genocide is the first comprehensive account of the horrors that befell Ethiopia's Somali region during the reign of Abdi Mohamoud Omar-commonly known as Abdi iley-who ruled over the Somali inhabited parts of Ethiopia between 2010 and 2018. In this book Abdulkadir Ali 'Bureida' offers an incisive assessment of the Abdi iley years. His reign of terror claimed the lives of thousands of Somalis in Ethiopia. It lastingly damaged-physically, mentally and socially-a good part of the community. As the federal government's main pillar of the counter-insurgency against the reel Ogden National Liberation Front (ONLF) Abdi iley acted as a state within the state. On his and his officials' orders countless civilians, political competitors and suspected and real ONLF supporters were arrested, tortured and killed across the region. Drawing over 700 interviews with witnesses and survivors, The Covert Genocide provides the reader with an insider's account of the atrocities, arbitrary violence and terror that were the hallmark of the Abdi iley period. Making use of history, philosophy, psychology and his first-hand observations as a prisoner of conscience in the infamous Jail Ogaden, the author sheds light both on the systematic human rights abuses by Abdi iley's officials and paramilitary 'Liyu' or special police and the broad political context, which enabled it. Equal part historical account, political account, political analysis and human rights reporting, the book offers crucial testimony of the Abdi iley period. A powerful tribute to the victims of state sponsored violence, the Covert Genocide is a reminder that accountability for the many injustices committed continues to be wanting. Some readers will be tempted to discard or downplay the findings of this book as essentially a Somali problem. Nothing could be further from the truth. Ethiopia' former EPRDF government not only tolerated, but enabled the many atrocities against civilians that took place as part of the governments' counterinsurgency. The ongoing impunity of former and current officials and security forces-including parts of the ONLF-continues to be a major obstacle for reconciliation and healing not only in Somali region, but in Ethiopia altogether. Recent atrocities by warring parties in the Tigray conflict are a spark reminder that Ethiopia has so far failed to address or learn from its recent past. The Covert Genocide is a stark reminder that as long as political elites refuse to acknowledge these past injustices and their victims, they are likely to repeat themselves in the future.Tobias Hagmann, visiting professor, Roskilde University (Denmark) and Senior Programme Officer, Swisspeace (Switzerland).

The book embodies an aggregate industrial and academic experiences of the authors gathered over the years of developing a process for converting low-quality Nigerian ores into super concentrates and also successfully operating a commercial ball mill installation equipped with a pilot grinding test facility. It presents step-by-step process design calculations, pilot tests, scale-up, and validation methods for optimizing the mill design parameters and improving the operational efficiencies. The principles detailed in the book provide a roadmap for tuning the mill when processing materials of new origin to obtain optimal grinding efficiency. With the current trend toward the use of larger mills, there have been situations where those larger mills have not realized their design capacities due to some limitations in the application of conventional scale-up procedures to results from small-scale grinding equipment.The uniqueness of this book lies in the combination of the process design principles with the pilot test and scale-up methodologies that enable the efficient prediction of commercial mill parameters from small-scale results, thus avoiding the pitfall inherent in conventional scale-up procedures. The book features approaches to validate process parameters for optimality and also to establish grinding media losses necessary to establish an appropriate balance between the ore and the media. Mechanical design of the critical parts and their materials selection have been included in the text. The book promises to be an invaluable companion in the area of raw materials preparation and mineral dressing for students, practicing engineers, and scientists in the industry and the academia and research laboratories. Throughout the book, examples are provided, which illustrate the application of the relevant principles and methodologies to real-world situations.

Planet Xeon is located in the distant corner of the Alpha Centauri Star System, nearly six light-years away, and is comparable to planet Earth. Technology on Xeon is far beyond Earth's abilities, creating futuristic advancements, either unknown or out of reach from our reality. Xeon geoscientists have determined the planet core is unstable and may be uninhabitable in three hundred years unless it self-stabilizes, a rational probability. Superiors start a search for a habitable planet in order to save their people from becoming extinct, and they've selected planet Earth, specifically, the United States of America.Identifying what is necessary to send to planet Earth is of great concern due to the advanced technology that can produce weapons with godly powers, powers that can destroy the planet. Once Xeon technology is introduced, our lives will change dramatically and make the United States a dominating country with powers that are unimaginable, creating a force that the world will envy and fight to attain. The superiors of Xeon are concerned about sharing military technology to an unstable or corrupt government. They plan to be selective when transporting certain types of technology until such time the United States government can prove to be trustworthy, responsible with alien weapons, and have total control of other countries on the planet, preventing them from acquiring these powers.Titus and Xavia resign from their position at NASA to help the Xeon people rid the United States from corruption before announcing them to the world. In the process, they become good friends with Xeon citizens. The concerns about Xeon citizens migrating to the United States stem from the widespread corruption in the government. The Xeon government go through a comparable situation, ending in a civil war, where many people die. Term limits is discovered to be the key ingredient to a stable government that works for the people and by the people. "Lifetime politicians cultivate corruption."Adventure, space flight, romance, friendship, family, and chocolate cake.

This book is a sequence poem of 505 parts. It took me several years to write it. The poem is an old idea that I had sometime a long time ago. It was inspired by some music that I used to listen to called "Song of the Nightingale." The idea of the universe being so dark and so cold and always being in the darkness of the nighttime made me wonder a bit for the nightingale sings its songs mostly maybe only by night. So the universe could be a haunted place that nightingales wander throughout in the darkness and guarding and watching over everything where it can ultimately rule the stars and moons as it supposedly should do. There are also midnight nightmares that wander throughout the stars in these enormous gatherings of birds and horses singing for someday the universe will come to its conclusion; and it's all mixed in with basic modern-day science aspects and things to try to be something new; and it tries to explain the universe with songs of nightingales and nightmares, ravens and crows, and mockingbirds mixed in with the wonder of where the universe has really come from. From the darkness it all has come and to the darkness it all shall return. And from nowhere it has come, to nowhere it will return. As Einstein says, "I want to know how God made the universe.""I see my life in terms of music" --Albert Einstein

This book is a "drop-in" helpful guide for those new to leadership or moving to a different or more senior leadership role. This is a "for your eyes only" guide, providing ideas for managing the challenges of leadership and hopefully helping to avoid some of the pitfalls. It's a concise and no-nonsense go-to source of support with real-life examples to help guide the reader toward possible solutions. Leadership in an international setting is, without doubt, a different, demanding cultural and international intelligence. These different expectations demand different approaches, and there is certainly no right way to deal with every situation. We learn by taking risks, making mistakes, and caring for others particularly in challenging situations. Dip in and out. We hope you find it useful!
