Millions face famine in Somalia

The United Nations has declared a state of famine in some parts of southern Somalia where the worst drought in over half a century is already being blamed for thousands of deaths. An estimated 3.7 million people, or more than one-third of Somalia's population, is in need of emergency aid, the UN's food agency said on Wednesday. "Every day of delay in assistance is literally a matter of life or death for children and their families in the famine-affected areas," Mark Bowden, the UN humanitarian co-ordinator for Somalia, said. "It is likely that tens of thousands will already have died, the majority of those being children." The UN has appealed for $300m to help victims of the drought, and aid groups have criticised the slow response of many Western governments to fund the shortfall. Al Jazeera's Mohamad Adow reports from Nairobi, Kenya.

New armed group threatens Somali violence

A new armed group is threatening to launch a violent campaign for the reunification of Somalia. The group is known as SSC, the initials of the regions they say that they want to liberate - Sool, Sanaag and Cayn. These regions are currently disputed over by both the breakaway Somaliland Republic and the Semi-autonomous region of Puntland in North East Somalia. "Our ultimate goal is to make this area peaceful and prosperous and also seek a united Somalia," Ali Sabarey, the deputy leader of SSC, told Al Jazeera. However, Somaliland officials dismiss the SSC as ineffective, saying that their threats and claims of victory are hollow. Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow prepared this exclusive report from the SSC stronghold of Buuhoodle.

Remittances offer Somali lifeline -15 Nov 09

News Africa Remittances offer Somali lifeline Somalia's two decades-old civil war has left most of the Horn of Africa in shambles, but there are pockets of relative calm. One such area is Somaliland, which has effectively become a separate state from the rest of Somalia although it is not officially recognised. Somaliland is made up of almost 3.5 million people and its economy is dependent on agriculture, livestock and remittances from the many thousands who live abroad. It is estimated that the region receives at least $700m in remittances a year. Mohammed Adow reports from Hargeysa on the money transfers that have become big business.

Somaliland shelters war-displaced - 12 Nov 09

Thousands of people displaced by fighting in Somalia are ending up in the relatively peaceful neighbouring territory, Somaliland. Once part of Somalia, it is now a self-declared republic in the troubled Horn of Africa region, and has been seeking international recognition of its independence since 1991. Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow, in Burao, the main city of Togdheer province, says the complicated nature of local politics is blocking relief efforts. Somaliland is a former British protectorate in north western Somalia. In 1960, it gained its independence and united with what was then Italian Somaliland to form the Somalia republic. In 1991, it declared independence after Mohamed Siad Barre, the Somali military leader, was overthrown. Political unrest Tension over the Somaliland presidential election, which was due to have been held on September 27, has given rise to fears that the self-declared territory could become a failed state like its neighbour Somalia. The polls have been postponed indefinitely due to serious differences between the political parties since 2008. The complicated nature of local politics is blocking relief efforts in Burao This uncertainty has led to increased concern about Somaliland in the international community, and a flare-up of political animosity within the territory. Recent violence, particularly in the capital Hargeysa, has shown that the crisis in Somaliland has changed from being political to one of security and stability. Despite the unrest in September, Somaliland has a relatively stable democracy. It has a population of 3.5 million people, according to government estimates, and is a relatively stable democracy even though it has not been internationally recognised. This is partly because it has developed a unique hybrid system of government. The row over elections - largely seen as a test for this fledgling nation - threatens to divide it.

Somaliland at crisis point - 11 Nov 09

Somaliland has been hailed as a beacon of stability in the troubled Horn of Africa region since declaring independence from Somalia in 1991. But Al Jazeera's Mohamed Adow, reports that some experts now believe the self-declared republic is at crisis point, as an election row deepens. The current tension in Somaliland centres on the presidential election, which was due to have been held on September 27. The polls have been postponed indefinitely due to serious differences between the political parties since 2008. This uncertainty has led to increased concern about Somaliland in the international community, and a flare-up of political animosity within the territory. Recent violence, particularly in the capital Hargeysa, has shown that the crisis in Somaliland has changed from being political to one of security and stability. Fears over the crisis has even led one senior political figure to warn that it could become another failed state, like neighbouring Somalia.

The hope now lies with a recently appointed electoral commission, entrusted with the task of organising elections, a step seen as vital to Somaliland's quest for international recognition.
