Le député Torontois de la circonscription de York Sud-Weston succède à John McCallum au ministère de l'Immigration. C'est la première fois qu'un député d'origine somalienne est nommé au sein du Cabinet.
Ahmed Hussen est arrivé au Canada à l'âge de 16 ans en tant que réfugié, alors qu'il fuyait la guerre qui faisait rage en Somalie.
L'homme de 39 ans a été très actif au sein de la communauté canado-somalienne, notamment à titre de président du Congrès somalien canadien.
Mon expérience personnelle d'immigrant au Canada, mais aussi d'avocat en droit de l'immigration et de militant au sein de la communauté me sera utile.
Avant de faire son entrée en politique, il a assumé les fonctions de président du Congrès somalien canadien où il a travaillé pour encourager l'intégration de cette communauté et le développement de son engagement citoyen.
Devenu avocat, il s'est entre autres battu contre la radicalisation des jeunes Somaliens de Toronto qui se faisaient recruter par le groupe extrémiste Al Shabab en Afrique.

Aux élections fédérales de 2015, il a été le premier député d'origine somalienne à être élu au Parlement.
Parmi ses nouvelles tâches en tant que ministre, il devra entre autres se charger d'accueillir quelque 300 000 nouveaux résidents permanents en 2017.
Des membres de la communauté somalienne se réjouissent
Le directeur de Somalia Immigrant Aid Organization, Mahad Yusuf, croit que l'expérience personnelle d'Ahmed Hussen l'aidera dans son nouveau poste.
Il est un modèle pour les jeunes réfugiés qui arrivent au pays [...] Il comprend nos besoins en matière d'emploi et d'intégration.
Le directeur général de Canadian Friends of Somalia, Farah Aw-Osman, partage cet enthousiasme.
Il souligne qu'en nommant un député d'origine somalienne, le premier ministre Justin Trudeau démontre que la société canadienne célèbre la diversité culturelle.
Sa position au sujet de la déportation de criminels
En 2012, l'ancien premier ministre Stephen Harper avait nommé Ahmed Hussen à une table ronde multiculturelle sur la sécurité, qui a ultimement mené à la création de la Loi antiterroriste C-51.
Ahmed Hussen était d'accord avec la position conservatrice de déporter les criminels étrangers qui commettaient des crimes graves.
Il avait alors fait référence à la montée de la radicalisation au Canada et des conséquences engendrées au sein de la communauté canado-somalienne.

Ibi bintu ntibyumvikana na gato!! Muri video nabonye mu byabereye i fatima Mzee Benzinge aravuga ko bahambye Kigeli No mu misa yewe hari cercueil!!!ngaho ababizi munsobanurire:umugogo w'umwami bawuciyemo kabiri igice kimwe cyoherezwa muri portugal ikindi cyoherezwa i Rwanda? Hari umugogo wa nyawo n'undi utari wo?(bayoye muri morgue quelque part)Ntawamenya wenda nabyo ça fait partie y'UBWIRU!!!!si c'est le cas umugogo authentique wa Kigeli uri he???? Mundwaneho ndabona iby'ubwiru ntabyumva neza!!! Ariko ni mu gihe il n'ya rien à comprendre!!! NI "UBWIRU"!!!! Télécharger Outlook pour Android
Mu minsi ishize nanditse kuri izi mbuga ngo: "aragowe umuntu whate Mpyisi umugogo w'umwami kandi azi neza igihe cyo kujurira kitararangira".
Mwibuke kandi ko resultats za autopsie zitaratangazwa kandi ko n'iperereza ku bantu bibye impapuro z'umwami (harimo na testament ye) rigikomeza hano muri Amerika.
Ndabona uyu mwaka w'2017 ushobora kuba uhishiye abanyarwanda ibitangaza byinshi.
Umuhango wo gushyingura Kigeli i Fatima, Portugal. Umwami mushya, Yuhi VI Bushayija, yari ahari.
Uzi ko ari byo! Kigeli ashobora kuba yari yarateganyije kuzashyingurwa muri Portugal. Ariko bishobora kuba amaburakindi kubera kubura gushyingurwa kw'ivuko. Uwaphuye yarihuse atabonye iby'abanyarwanda b'ubu. AR
Jye ejobundi maze kureba umuhango wose w'iyi misa (lien iri hano kuri DHR), numvise ibyo Mpyisi yavuze ko batwaye umurambo wa Kigeli nk'abawibye, aliko cyane cyane numva ko Kigeli yari yarateguye uko n'aho azashyingurwa.
Icyakora n'ubwo ibintu bitagenze uko yabishakaga, nibura incuti ze zamukoreye umuhango mwiza wo kumuherekeza n'ubwo nta murambo we bafite.

A report on global money flows has found that trade misinvoicing and tax havens mean the world's givers are more like takers. Photograph: C Villemain/AFP/Getty Images
We have long been told a compelling story about the relationship between rich countries and poor countries. The story holds that the rich nations of the OECD give generously of their wealth to the poorer nationcheats of the global south, to help them eradicate poverty and push them up the development ladder. Yes, during colonialism western powers may have enriched themselves by extracting resources and slave labour from their colonies – but that's all in the past. These days, they give more than $125bn (£102bn) in aid each year – solid evidence of their benevolent goodwill.
This story is so widely propagated by the aid industry and the governments of the rich world that we have come to take it for granted. But it may not be as simple as it appears.
The US-based Global Financial Integrity (GFI) and the Centre for Applied Research at the Norwegian School of Economics recently published some fascinating data. They tallied up all of the financial resources that get transferred between rich countries and poor countries each year: not just aid, foreign investment and trade flows (as previous studies have done) but also non-financial transfers such as debt cancellation, unrequited transfers like workers' remittances, and unrecorded capital flight (more of this later). As far as I am aware, it is the most comprehensive assessment of resource transfers ever undertaken.
What they discovered is that the flow of money from rich countries to poor countries pales in comparison to the flow that runs in the other direction.
In 2012, the last year of recorded data, developing countries received a total of $1.3tn, including all aid, investment, and income from abroad. But that same year some $3.3tn flowed out of them. In other words, developing countries sent $2tn more to the rest of the world than they received. If we look at all years since 1980, these net outflows add up to an eye-popping total of $16.3tn – that's how much money has been drained out of the global south over the past few decades. To get a sense for the scale of this, $16.3tn is roughly the GDP of the United States
What this means is that the usual development narrative has it backwards. Aid is effectively flowing in reverse. Rich countries aren't developing poor countries; poor countries are developing rich ones.
What do these large outflows consist of? Well, some of it is payments on debt. Developing countries have forked out over $4.2tn in interest payments alone since 1980 – a direct cash transfer to big banks in New York and London, on a scale that dwarfs the aid that they received during the same period. Another big contributor is the income that foreigners make on their investments in developing countries and then repatriate back home. Think of all the profits that BP extracts from Nigeria's oil reserves, for example, or that Anglo-American pulls out of South Africa's gold mines.
But by far the biggest chunk of outflows has to do with unrecorded – and usually illicit – capital flight. GFI calculates that developing countries have lost a total of $13.4tn through unrecorded capital flight since 1980.
Most of these unrecorded outflows take place through the international trade system. Basically, corporations – foreign and domestic alike – report false prices on their trade invoices in order to spirit money out of developing countries directly into tax havens and secrecy jurisdictions, a practice known as "trade misinvoicing". Usually the goal is to evade taxes, but sometimes this practice is used to launder money or circumvent capital controls. In 2012, developing countries lost $700bn through trade misinvoicing, which outstripped aid receipts that year by a factor of five.
Multinational companies also steal money from developing countries through "same-invoice faking", shifting profits illegally between their own subsidiaries by mutually faking trade invoice prices on both sides. For example, a subsidiary in Nigeria might dodge local taxes by shifting money to a related subsidiary in the British Virgin Islands, where the tax rate is effectively zero and where stolen funds can't be traced.
GFI doesn't include same-invoice faking in its headline figures because it is very difficult to detect, but they estimate that it amounts to another $700bn per year. And these figures only cover theft through trade in goods. If we add theft through trade in services to the mix, it brings total net resource outflows to about $3tn per year.
That's 24 times more than the aid budget. In other words, for every $1 of aid that developing countries receive, they lose $24 in net outflows. These outflows strip developing countries of an important source of revenue and finance for development. The GFI report finds that increasingly large net outflows have caused economic growth rates in developing countries to decline, and are directly responsible for falling living standards.
Who is to blame for this disaster? Since illegal capital flight is such a big chunk of the problem, that's a good place to start. Companies that lie on their trade invoices are clearly at fault; but why is it so easy for them to get away with it? In the past, customs officials could hold up transactions that looked dodgy, making it nearly impossible for anyone to cheat. But the World Trade Organisation claimed that this made trade inefficient, and since 1994 customs officials have been required to accept invoiced prices at face value except in very suspicious circumstances, making it difficult for them to seize illicit outflows.

Still, illegal capital flight wouldn't be possible without the tax havens. And when it comes to tax havens, the culprits are not hard to identify: there are more than 60 in the world, and the vast majority of them are controlled by a handful of western countries. There are European tax havens such as Luxembourg and Belgium, and US tax havens like Delaware and Manhattan. But by far the biggest network of tax havens is centered around the City of London, which controls secrecy jurisdictions throughout the British Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories.
In other words, some of the very countries that so love to tout their foreign aid contributions are the ones enabling mass theft from developing countries.
The aid narrative begins to seem a bit naïve when we take these reverse flows into account. It becomes clear that aid does little but mask the maldistribution of resources around the world. It makes the takers seem like givers, granting them a kind of moral high ground while preventing those of us who care about global poverty from understanding how the system really works.
Poor countries don't need charity. They need justice. And justice is not difficult to deliver. We could write off the excess debts of poor countries, freeing them up to spend their money on development instead of interest payments on old loans; we could close down the secrecy jurisdictions, and slap penalties on bankers and accountants who facilitate illicit outflows; and we could impose a global minimum tax on corporate income to eliminate the incentive for corporations to secretly shift their money around the world.
We know how to fix the problem. But doing so would run up against the interests of powerful banks and corporations that extract significant material benefit from the existing system. The question is, do we have the courage?
