Somalian Alberta Turf War Shows No End

He came to Alberta looking to pay for university, instead allegedly finding drugs and bad friends. Now, his slain body will lay in Alberta forever, his name marked on a long list of dead young Somali-Canadian men. Abdinasir Abdulkadir Dirie wont make it to first-year university this fall, the kind of prosperous future his father sought for his family when he immigrated. I thought Canada is a peace country. (It offered) a future for my life, my children. This is a very bad thing.said Abdulkadir Tarambi, the 19-year-olds father. Abdulkadir Dirie was a native of Toronto. He was set to study computer science at York University in the fall, and saw prosperous Alberta as a way to pay for it, said Tarambi. (Young people) heard in Alberta you can get an easy job, get a lot of money, said Tarambi. In August 2008, he moved to Edmonton, staying with his older brother in Edmonton and working at Tim Hortons. Then he headed to Fort McMurray with an oil and gas job. By January, he was in trouble. According to the RCMP, Abdulkadir Dirie was arrested alongside four other young men, including a minor, in a Fort McMurray apartment Jan. 22. All were charged with possession of cocaine for trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime under $5,000. Abdulkadir Dirie was released on $500 bail, while his alleged associates paid thousands to be released. The last time his family heard from Abdulkadir Dirie was April 20, said family friend Mohamed Mohamed. Abdulkadir Dirie told his mother, as he often repeated, that he was coming home. Hed even bought a ticket, said Mohamed. Abdulkadir Diries body was found April 21 in an apartment on McDonald Avenue.

Somalians caught up in Alberta Turf Wars, K'naan speaks

Somali-Canadians from Ontario are being gunned down at an alarming rate in Alberta. Police blame the drug trade. Many of the deaths have been public execution-style slayings, family members say. "It seems like they want to send out a message, like, do not come near us," Mahmoud said. Alberta police agree, saying some of the killings have been "a message to Toronto," the CBC's John Lancaster reported.

Fort McMurray Unveils New Gang Unit

Fort McMurray's gangs and organized crime will soon face a formidable foe. The Wood Buffalo RCMP detachment in Timberlea will be home to the recently announced serious and organized crime unit through the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams. "ALERT is an integrated policing model that is strongly supported by the government, as well as all the partner agencies and ALERT is made up of RCMP personnel and members of various municipal police services," said Insp. Bob Simmonds, who is in charge of the Fort McMurray enforcement team. ALERT was started by the Alberta government in 2006 with the aim to investigate and take down serious criminal activity like drug trafficking networks, marijuana grow operations, street-level gang activity and larger organized crime groups. Fort McMurray has faced a number of what RCMP deem "drug-related" crimes. In February, there was a double homicide which saw two men gunned down in a Haineault Street apartment — while the men were "known to police," it has not been confirmed as a drug crime, but it's proof enough of the problems in town. "It's pretty obvious when you're having double homicides and serious assaults that there are causes to those types of activities (and) situations, and we're hoping and expecting obviously that once we're underway that these types of activities hopefully are going to be reduced and perhaps even eliminated," Simmonds said. Fort McMurray will welcome 13 members for a gang enforcement unit — seven of which are paid for by the municipality, six by the province. ALERT will be operating an intelligence unit as well — a total of five positions, four paid for by the province and one by the municipality.

CBC Interview regarding the socio-economic challenges facing the Canadian Somali community.avi

The trial of two men accused of killing Mohamed Ali Ibrahim, a Somali-Canadian man gunned down two years ago, has began in Edmonton, Alberta. This is the first trial in a string of murder cases involving young Canadian Somali victims. More than 30 young Canadian Somali men have died in Alberta in the last three years. There is concern in the community that this first trial is being undermined by intimidation, witness tampering, perjury and obstruction of justice. What are the factors that have contributed to the high number of deaths of young Canadian Somali men in Alberta? Are these deaths related to the fact that Somalis in Canada lag behind other groups in terms of socio-economic development? What can be done to integrate the community, especially its youth, into mainstream jobs and professions? What can be done to improve the lives of these young men in Canada to ensure that they do not fall victim to the lure of gangs? What is the Canadian Somali community doing to make sure that their youth have opportunities? These and other issues such as the Canadian Somali Jewish Mentorship Project were discussed in the CBC Radio program Metro Morning on November 4, 2010. The CBC's Matt Galloway interviewed Ahmed Hussen. He is the national president of the Canadian Somali Congress.

CBC interview regarding the Mohamed Ibrahim case

On the eve of the verdict in the trial of two men accused of killing Mohamed Ali Ibrahim, a Somali-Canadian man gunned down two years ago, CBC radio's Karen Horseman spoke to Ahmed Hussen, president of the Canadian Somali Congress, about the difficulties with witnesses faced during the trial and the fact that as the first trial in a string of murder cases involving young Canadian Somali victims, the family of the victim and the community were seeking justice to be done in this case. More than 30 young Canadian Somali men have died in Alberta in the last three years. Later in the day, judge Paul Belzil, found Adam Michael Brown and Alexander Reid guilty of second-degree murder in the slaying of Mohamed Ibrahim, 24, outside the River Cree Casino west of Edmonton. The guilty decision was met with audible relief from Ibrahim's mother, Fouzia Mohamed, and members of Edmonton's Somali community who surrounded her in the courtroom. In Canada, murder convictions carry an automatic life sentence.
