سفينة السلاح الهدية وصلت....ولم تصل حتى الأن ؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟

هدية مقبولة لمصر.بضعة ملايين وسفينة سلاح ذكر البعض أنها مجرد هدية ويجهل ما الداعى لها بالرغم من التوتر الشديد بين الولايات المتحدة ومصر وذكر البعض الاخر أنها مقابل الافراج عن الأميريكيين الذين أكلق سراحهم أمام أعين الجميع وبهبوط طائرة عسكرية للمجال الجوى وبعلمه.وذكر البعض الأخر من وسائل الأنباء تلك المخالفة لتلك القوانين والأعراف الدولية.وذكر البعض الأخر بأن اللعبة كانت مكشوفة جدا ببيع كرامة الطون.وذكرت مصادر أخرى تواطىء السلطة المصرية فى الصفقة وأقوال كثيرة لم يعد يعلم عنها مواطن الشارع أو الشعب المصرى شيئا حتى الأن.
تقدمت منظمت العدل الدولية ومنظمة هيومان رايتس ووتش بشجب وتنديد للموقف من تلك السفينة وعدم وجود داع لها حيث أن مخزون السلاح المصرى من العمليات السابقة يغطى حتى 2014 وبالرغم من أبرام صفقات سابقة وغير السرى منها بتوريد السلاح لمصر قد تم ألا أن العديد من المنظمات الدولية تعجبت من الموقف بل وطالبت السلطات المصرية بعدم السماح لتلك السفينة بالدخول للمياه الاقليمية الدولية لأنها هدية معروف الهدف منها وهو قمع الثورة والتوار بكل ما أوتى المجلس العسكرى من قوة مستخدما السلاح ضد المتظاهرين العزلوذكرت ذلك بالمقال التالى

Amnesty calls for halt to weapons ship en route from US to Egypt
The human right's organisation says cargo ship carrying munitions from US to Egypt must not be allowed to dock in Port Said, warns that security forces could use weapons to commit human rights violations against civilians
Egyptian riot police 
Amnesty International calls a halt to cargo ship carrying weapons with explosives en route from the US to Egypt, according to a press statement by the human rights organisation on Thursday. The statement warned of the "substantial risk" that Egyptian security forces might use those weapons to commit human rights violations against civilians.
“This ship of shame should not be allowed to unload its dangerous cargo in Egypt, and there is a substantial risk that this is what it plans to do,” said Brian Wood Amnesty International’s head of arms control.
On 3 March 2012 the ship left Sunny Point, a military-only port in the US state of North Carolina, carrying cartridges for weapons, fuses, and other ammunition. The ship has a cargo capacity of 21,000 tonnes and 1,100 twenty-foot containers. The captain reported the ship’s next destination as Port Said in Egypt.
Currently, the Dutch flagged ship, MV Schippersgracht, is in the Mediterranean Sea and due to arrive in Egypt in the coming week, the captain told Amnesty.
The freighter, according to the human right's group, arrived at the US Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU), Southport in North Carolina, USA on 24 February 2012. The MOTSU is known to be the largest ammunition port in the US and is the Department of Defense's key Atlantic Coast ammunition shipping point.
Amnesty says that it has been tracking the ship for the past two months.
During the one-year period after Egypt's 18-day uprising, security and army forces killed more than a hundred Egyptians and injured thousands more.
The latter half of 2011 saw the deadliest clashes between security and army forces and protesters. In October's Maspero violence, pro-Coptic Christian protesters were brutally dispersed by army forces. November's Mohamed Mahmoud Street clashes saw security and army forces use rubber bullets, tear gas and sometimes live ammunition to push protesters away form the reviled interior ministry.
According to the press statement, Amnesty – working with Transarms and the International Peace and Information Service – has documented a series of ‘Ships of Shame’ transferring of arms from the world’s major irresponsible arms suppliers, including China, Russia, and USA, to countries where there is a substantial risk the weapons will be used to commit serious human rights violations. 
In the past, the global human right's organisation has also condemned several violations by Egypt's ruling military junta such as 'virginity tests' on female protesters, the use of torture against political activists and the ongoing military trials of civilians.


Halt ships of shame from the USA carrying weapons to Egypt

The Dutch-flagged ship is reportedly due to arrive in Egypt early next week.

A ship carrying a cargo of weapons with explosives en route from the USA to Egypt must not be allowed to offload because of a substantial risk the weapons will be used by Egyptian security forces to commit human rights violations, Amnesty International said on Thursday.

The organization has tracked the Dutch-flagged ship, MV Schippersgracht, for the past two months. It is currently in the Mediterranean Sea and due to arrive in Egypt early next week.
The U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command contacted Amnesty International to say the cargo is not intended for Egypt but refused to give further information as to its final destination, citing security reasons.
“This ship of shame should not be allowed to unload its dangerous cargo in Egypt, and there is a substantial risk that this is what it plans to do,” said Brian Wood, Amnesty International’s Head of Arms Control.

“There is a clear pattern that weapons from previous ships have recently been used to commit serious human rights violations by the Egyptian security forces, and yet the US is recklessly sending a constant flow of arms to Egypt.”

The vessel had previously arrived at the US Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU), Southport in North Carolina, USA on 24 February 2012.

MOTSU is the largest ammunition port in the US and is the Department of Defense’s key Atlantic Coast ammunition shipping point.

On 3 March 2012 the ship left Sunny Point, a military-only port, carrying a class of dangerous goods that covers cartridges for weapons, fuses, and other ammunition. The ship has a cargo capacity of 21,000 tons and 1,100 twenty foot containers. The captain reported the ship’s next destination as Port Said in Egypt. 

As recently as last month, Egypt’s Central Security Forces (riot police) used excessive force, including shotguns and live ammunition, to disperse protests, killing at least 16 people and injuring hundreds of others. 

Over the past year, the Egyptian security forces including the military have used  excessive force, including lethal force, against protestors. More than one hundred people were killed and thousands more injured over the last five months by security forces.

The Dutch company Spliethoff's Bevrachtingskantoor BV, a contractor for the US Military Sealift Command, that manages the Schippersgracht provided no comment on the latest shipment when contacted by Amnesty International.

The latest shipment follows a series of significant quantities of arms the US supplied to Egypt.

Between 11 December 2011 and 5 February 2012, the Egyptian Procurement Office (EPO) of the Armament Authority, Ministry of Defense shipped a total of 349 tons of military and dual use equipment with a value of at least USD$35 million supplied on seven US-flagged cargo ships, which are managed by American President Lines Maritime Ltd.

Equipment on these seven cargo ships included military spare parts and components for electronic equipment, tactical and support vehicles, tanker vehicles, armoured vehicles and tanks, spare parts for AH-64 Apache, H-3 and SH-2G(E) helicopters.

The Egyptian security forces’ use of ammunition is a clear example of the urgent need for the establishment and implementation of an effective global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) which enters the final stage of crucial negotiations in July.

Amnesty International is calling for ammunitions to be included among the conventional arms to be regulated by the treaty, a move the US currently opposes.

“The violent repression of protestors at the hands of Egyptian security forces is sadly one of many examples as to why the world needs a bullet-proof Arms Trade Treaty. As the world’s largest arms exporter, the US in particular needs to match its rhetoric on human rights with genuine action, something it has so far failed to do,” said Brian Wood.

Amnesty International working with Transarms and the International Peace and Information Service (IPIS) has documented a series of ‘Ships of Shame’ transferring of arms from the world’s major irresponsible arms suppliers, including China, Russia, and USA, to countries where there is a substantial risk the weapons will be used to commit serious human rights violations.

“Ship of Shame” Carrying Weapons and Explosives To Egypt from United States Should Not be Allowed to Deliver Cargo

Contact: Sharon Singh, ssingh@aiusa.org, 202.675.8579

(New York) – Amnesty International said today a ship with a cargo of weapons with explosives that is en route from the United States to Egypt must not be allowed to offload because of a substantial risk the weapons will be used by Egyptian security forces to commit human rights violations.

Amnesty International has tracked the Dutch-flagged ship, MV Schippersgracht – what the organization calls “the ship of shame” -- for the past two months. It is currently in the Mediterranean Sea and due to arrive in Egypt early next week.

At the same time, the human rights organization asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to withhold certification required to release military aid to Egypt until the Egyptian government demonstrates its commitment to protecting human rights. Amnesty International is opposed to any of the $1.3 billion in annual U.S. military aid to Egypt being used for the purchase of weapons, ammunition, military equipment and military vehicles that can be used by Egypt's government to suppress human rights.  Amnesty International is also opposed to any waiver of this human rights certification requirement. Read the letter to Secretary Clinton.

"The United States should not place more weapons in the hands of the Egyptian security forces that have shown ongoing disregard for the rights of the Egyptian people," said Suzanne Nossel, executive director, Amnesty International USA. "It would be flat-out wrong and shameful for the United States to falsely certify that the Egyptian government is protecting human rights – and would send a dangerous signal to waive that certification requirement.”

Last December 23, President Barack Obama signed into law the 2012 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which requires the Secretary of State to certify to Congress that the Egyptian government is “implementing policies to protect freedom of expression, association, and religion, and due process of law” before $1.3 billion in military aid can be provided to the Egyptian government under the Foreign Military Financing Program. The law also enables the Secretary of State to waive the certification requirement on national security grounds.

Amnesty International has tracked the Dutch-flagged ship, MV Schippersgracht, for the past two months. It is currently in the Mediterranean Sea and due to arrive in Egypt early next week.

The vessel had previously arrived at the U.S Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU), Southport in North Carolina on February 24. MOTSU is the largest ammunition port in the United States and is the Department of Defense’s key Atlantic Coast ammunition shipping point.

Equipment on these seven cargo ships included military spare parts and components for electronic equipment, tactical and support vehicles, tanker vehicles, armored vehicles and tanks, spare parts for AH-64 Apache, H-3 and SH-2G (E) helicopters.

Amnesty International is calling for ammunition to be included among the conventional arms to be regulated by the treaty, a move the United States government currently opposes.

In a letter to Secretary Clinton about the congressional certification needed for military aid, Amnesty International pointed to the new Egyptian government’s abysmal human rights record and urged the State Department to immediately halt any funding already being used to provide weapons, ammunition, military equipment and military vehicles that can be used by Egypt’s government to suppress human rights. Amnesty International does not have a position on the funding or transfer of military equipment that falls outside of these parameters.

Amnesty International, working with Transarms and the International Peace and Information Service (IPIS), has documented the transfer of arms from the world’s major arms suppliers, including China, Russia, and the United States, to countries where there is a substantial risk the weapons will be used to commit serious human rights violations.


Background information on MV Schippersgracht’s journey

The Dutch-flagged general cargo ship MV Schippersgracht arrived at Baltimore, in Maryland, in the USA, on January 25, from Eemshaven, in Groningen, in the Netherlands.

The ship left Baltimore on January 26 2012 and reached Jacksonville, in Florida, on January 28. . The Schippersgracht left Jacksonville nearly one month later, on February 23 and sailed north to the port of the Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU), Southport in North Carolina, where the ship arrived on February 24.

The MOTSU is described by North Carolina Department of Commerce as the “largest ammunition port in the nation… and is the Department of Defense’s key Atlantic Coast ammunition shipping point. It provides worldwide trans-shipment of Department of Defense ammunition, explosives and other dangerous cargo”, as well as being a logistics hub for intermodal military cargo movements by rail, trucks, and ships.

On March 3, the ship left Sunny Point with cargo that included IMO Class C of dangerous goods that is equivalent to the U.N. Hazard Material Division 1.4, which covers cartridges for weapons, fuses and detonators, other ammunition.

The Schippersgracht was not listed in the commercial movements of the U.S. East Coast ports and its last port of call in the United States was Sunny Point, indicating that its cargo is of military nature only.

The International Maritime Organization and UN Hazard Materials category 1.4 covers cartridges for weapons, fuses, and other ammunition.

Amnesty International is a Nobel Peace Prize-winning grassroots activist organization with more than 2.8 million supporters, activists and volunteers in more than 150 countries, campaigning for human rights worldwide. The organization investigates and exposes abuses, educates and mobilizes the public, and works to protect people wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied. 

Amnesty calls for blocking Egypt-bound US weapons cargo

A ship carrying weapons, including explosives, en route from the US to Egypt must not be allowed to offload because of a substantial risk the weapons will be used by Egyptian security forces to commit human rights violations, Amnesty International said on Thursday.
The organization said in its statement that it has tracked the Dutch-flagged ship, MV Schippersgracht, for the past two months. It revealed that the ship is currently in the Mediterranean Sea and due to arrive in Egypt early next week.
“This ship of shame should not be allowed to unload its dangerous cargo in Egypt, and there is a substantial risk that this is what it plans to do,” said Brian Wood, Amnesty International’s Head of Arms Control.
“There is a clear pattern that weapons from previous ships have recently been used to commit serious human rights violations by the Egyptian security forces, and yet the US is recklessly sending a constant flow of arms to Egypt.”
In late November, Egyptian customs employees at a Suez port denied access to a US tear gas shipment that was going to the Interior Ministry. The shipment was widely believed to be meant for use against protesters during the clashes near the Interior Ministry’s building in downtown Cairo, which left dozens of protesters dead and witnessed an extensive use of tear gas against demonstrators.
Egyptian security forces’ use of ammunition is a clear example of the urgent need for the establishment and implementation of an effective global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) which enters the final stage of crucial negotiations in July, the international organization said.

بل وكل هذا بالتوثيق الدولى والمنظمات الدولية وبرغم أن مالك السفينة صرح بالوصول لكن كان قرار الحكومة المصرية بنفى الخبر وارد ومعروف كما ذكر

مصر تنفي انتظار شحنة أسلحة أميركية

حجم الخط  | 


تاريخ النشر: السبت 17 مارس 2012
القاهرة (وكالات) - نفت مصر امس ان تكون شحنة اسلحة اميركية على متن سفينة متوجهة الى قناة السويس تعود لها، بعد ان حذرت منظمة العفو الدولية من إمكانية استخدام قواتها هذه الاسلحة ضد متظاهرين. وكانت منظمة العفو الدولية دعت مصر الى رفض تسلم شحنة الأسلحة الوافدة من الولايات المتحدة، بعد مقتل عشرات المتظاهرين في صدامات مع الشرطة المصرية. غير أن البحرية الاميركية أعلنت لاحقا ان الأسلحة ليست مخصصة لمصر من دون تحديد وجهتها النهائية، بحسب المنظمة. ونفى الملحق العسكري في السفارة المصرية في واشنطن ان تكون الأسلحة موجهة الى بلاده مشدداً على انها ملك “دولة آسيوية” تصلها عبر قناة السويس.
وصرح ملحق الدفاع المصري اللواء محمد الكشكي أن الحمولة “لا علاقة لها بمصر”. وحثت العفو الدولية “وزيرة الخارجية الاميركية هيلاري كلينتون على توضيح الوجهة النهائية للحمولة” مطالبة “بعدم إرسال الاسلحة الى دول قد تستخدمها لانتهاك حقوق الانسان”. وكانت المنظمة افادت أن السفينة “ام في سيبرسجراشت” التي ترفع علم هولندا غادرت مرفأ اميركيا عسكريا في ولاية كارولاينا الجنوبية متجهة الى بور سعيد وعلى متنها “حمولة خطيرة من الاسلحة والذخائر واجهزة التفجير”.
الى ذلك أعلن مصدر أمني مصري امس أن شرطيا لقي حتفه برصاص مسلحين ملثمين أمام قسم شرطة ثان بمدينة العريش عاصمة محافظة شمال سيناء. وقال المصدر لوكالة الأنباء الألمانية، إنه تم نقل الشرطي الى مستشفى العريش العام وهو جثة هامدة، وتم تشكيل قوة كبيرة من مباحث مديرية الأمن بشمال سيناء لمطاردة الجناة ومعرفة أسباب إطلاق الرصاص على الشرطي حيث لم تعلن أى جهة مسؤوليتها عن الحادث. يذكر أن قسم شرطة ثان العريش هو القسم الرئيسي في المدينة وقد تعرض للهجوم عدة مرات سابقة.


نفت مصر اليوم الجمعة أن تكون شحنة أسلحة أميركية على متن سفينة متوجهة إلى قناة السويس تعود لها، بعد أن حذرت منظمة العفو الدولية من إمكانية استخدام السلطات المصرية هذه الأسلحة ضد متظاهرين.
ونفى الملحق العسكري في السفارة المصرية في واشنطن أن تكون الأسلحة موجهة إلى بلاده، مشددا على أنها ملك "دولة آسيوية" تصلها عبر قناة السويس.
ونقلت وكالة أنباء الشرق الأوسط المصرية عن الملحق العسكري اللواء محمد الكشكي قوله إن الحمولة لا علاقة لها بمصر.
وكانت منظمة العفو الدولية دعت في بيان لها أمس الخميس مصر إلى رفض تسلم شحنة الأسلحة الوافدة من الولايات المتحدة، بعد مقتل عشرات المتظاهرين في صدامات مع الشرطة المصرية.
وأشارت المنظمة إلى أن البحرية الأميركية أعلنت لاحقا أن الأسلحة ليست مخصصة لمصر من دون تحديد وجهتها النهائية.
وكانت العفو الدولية حثت في بيانها "وزيرة الخارجية الأميركية هيلاري كلينتون على توضيح الوجهة النهائية للحمولة"، مطالبة "بعدم إرسال الأسلحة إلى دول قد تستخدمها لانتهاك حقوق الإنسان".
وذكرت المنظمة أن السفينة "أم في سيبرسغراشت" التي ترفع علم هولندا غادرت مرفأً أميركيًا عسكريا في ولاية كارولاينا الجنوبية متجهة إلى بور سعيد شمال مصر وعلى متنها "حمولة خطيرة من الأسلحة والذخائر وأجهزة التفجير".
ويتظاهر المصريون مرارا للمطالبة بتغيير سياسي يشمل تخلي المجلس العسكري عن السلطة، حيث إنه يحكم البلاد منذ سقوط نظام حسني مبارك في فبراير/شباط 2011 نتيجة ثورة شعبية. 


وبالفعل وبعد أن ذكر ملاك الشركة بأنن السفينة أنهت مهمتها وذكر على موقع الهيئة الدولية للرصد الملاحى للسفن بأعالى البحار الا أنه مازال البحث جارى عن تلك الشحنة وفتح المندل وضرب الودع وقراءة الفنجان لمعرفة مكان تفريغ الشحنة التى حتى توكيلها ببورسعيد لا يعلم عنها شيئا ولا حرس السواحل ولا أى أحد وجارى الأتفاق مع أم حسونة كودية الزار لعمل دقة زار جيدة لللعلم بمان السفينة الشبح ولا عزاء للثوار وكل عام وأنتم بخير
