Somalia famine summit postponed

An African Union meeting on the famine in Somalia has been delayed for two weeks. The emergency summit was scheduled for August 9, but officials said this left insufficient time for all heads of state to gather. The famine, however, is spreading. The UN declared three new regions in Somalia "famine zones" on Wednesday, expanding the area where the highest rates of malnutrition and mortality are taking place, including the refugee camps in the capital, Mogadishu. The UN's food arm, FAO, said the famine is likely to spread across all regions of Somalia's south in the next four to six weeks. Famine conditions are likely to persist until December, FAO said. Half a million children are on the brink of starvation, with at least two of the famine zones under the control of al-Shabab, an opposition group regarded by US security agencies as linked to al-Qaeda. The UN says that about two million people in these regions cannot be reached and there are claims that large numbers of them are being held against their will.

Somalia refugees at risk if talks are not inclusive: analyst

Somali leaders have begun gathering for a three-day national reconciliation conference under UN auspices amid high security in war-shattered Mogadishu. But talks that don't involve plans for a political solution in country will continue to put the hundred of thousands of refugees at greater risk, no matter how much money is pledged says Nuradin Dirie, an independent analyst specialising in the Horn of Africa.

Somalia's Political Future

Global leaders held a mini-summit on the political future of Somalia at the United Nations headquarters on Friday. The meeting was held on the sidelines of the annual U.N. General Assembly. U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon said, "For the first time since the Djibouti Peace Agreement of 2008, there is a significantly more inclusive political process and a consensus of how to end the transition. It is time now for the Transitional Federal Institutions and Somalia's leaders to implement the roadmap to end the transition, keeping in mind that future assistance will be contingent on the timely attainment of the agreed benchmarks," Al Shabaab fighters retreated from Mogadishu after four years of battling government forces and foreign peacekeepers. The insurgent's retreat from the capital effectively handed full control of the city to the government for the first time since civil war broke out in 1991. Jean Ping, the Chairman African Union, called on the international community to continue its support of Somalia. But United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a stern warning to the summit. Clinton said it is time for the Somalis to take control. She said, "Time may be running out. If we don't do this right now, given the fact that the African Union Mission for Somalia has been successful in opening up the space in Mogadishu. If Somali leaders do not follow the roadmap that has been negotiated by Africans for Africans, then I don't know that the international community will be here next year and the year after with support. It is now up to Somalis," The U.N. will host a high-level meeting on its humanitarian response to the famine in Somalia and the rest of the Horn of Africa on Saturday.

FAO South Somalia mission Aug 11 2011.mov

On August 2011, a delegation from FAO traveled to Dhobley in southern Somalia, in one of the first high level UN visits to the small border town in three years. Dhobley, located in Afmadow district in Southern Somalia is among areas severely affected by the current drought. FAO's Chief of Emergency Operations Cristina Amaral and FAO Officer in Charge for Somalia, Luca Alinovi, were shocked at how the Dhobley population, about 6,000 people, was taking a devastating toll of drought. Drought was killed thousands of livestock, disrupting Dhobley's major economic activity. The fact-finding mission was followed by immediate plans to intervene into Dhobley to ease the suffering in the Somali border town. Filmed and produced by Frank Nyakairu, FAO Somalia.

Clinton: Somalia to Receive Millions for Famine Relief

Clinton: Somalia to Receive Millions for Famine Relief At the International Food Policy research Institute, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the U.S. will increase aid for famine relief to the Horn of Africa, with 12 million U.S. dollars reserved for Somalia, the worst affected by the crisis. "The United States is the largest single country contributor of food and humanitarian assistance to the Horn of Africa. On Monday, President Obama announced that in light of the current crisis, we are making available an additional 105 million dollars in emergency funding. Today I'm announcing another 17 million on top of that, with 12 million designed specifically for helping the people of Somalia. That brings the total U.S. humanitarian assistance to the region to more than 580 million dollars this year. We are reaching more than 4.6 million people with this aid." Ms. Clinton said. Ms. Clinton re-issued her demand for Al Shabaab militants to give aid workers free entry into Somalia. "Still, a great deal depends on whether al Shabaab is willing to let international assistance be delivered. And so I once again urge al Shabaab to heed the calls not only of the international community, including the Arab league, but of the cries of their own people, and allow the secure delivery of relief to all those who are afflicted. The United States will continue to work with Somalis and the international community to bring the hope of peace and stability to Somalia. And we join all Somalis in hoping that there will be a future with a functioning government that can protect the Somali people against famine and help to build a sustainable agricultural sector." She added. Clinton called on governments and donors to contribute with immediate aid for the 12 million people affected by the worst drought and famine in decades in countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti and Somalia.

Magnitude of crisis hinders Somalia relief efforts

Somalia's government says it is making every effort to help refugees pouring into Mogadishu to escape the drought enveloping East Africa. The UN's Children's Fund began airlifting emergency supplies on Friday. But it will not reach all those in need just yet. The UN's World Food Programme says it will not get into southern Somalia - the most affected region as yet due to the large scale, affecting "a million people", of the crisis and the large amount of organisation that this operation demands. "We are literally on the discussion stage," said David Orr from the World Food Programme. Numerous appeals have been made to help the people of Somalia and the Horn of Africa in general. Some countries have made pledges to the UN but faced with hard economic times, many others may not be willing to commit anything at all. Al Jazeera's Catherine Soi reports from Nairobi.

Displaced Camps Flooded in Mogadishu

At a time when Somalia is struggling the drain of scarcity and famine, a flood leaves Somalia's breadbasket underwater, destroying their makeshift shelters, creating the conditions for an extended famine and taking the area's misery to a whole new level. As rain reached the camp in Mogadishu on July 31, old women and children struggled to repair their shelters which could not withhold the downpour. Internally displaced people described their situation as a desperate one, and had nothing to shield them from the harsh weather conditions. Thousands of IDPs, who were previously living in destroyed buildings in the Somali capital, have now been moved to camps outside the city. The U.N has declared famine in two cities of southern Somalia, and has said that 3.7 million people are at risk of starvation. An ongoing scarcity in East Africa is the worst to strike the region in six decades. Humanitarian crisis continues in Somalia caused by military conflict and years of famine. More than 11 million people in the Horn of Africa now need assistance to survive the crisis caused by the floods. By: Ikram Al Yacoub Al Arabiya With Agencies

UN to airlift food to African famine zone

The United Nations has agreed to airlift food to help some of the 12 million people affected by drought in the Horn of Africa. Aid agencies say one in three Somalis is now at risk from famine. The move follows Monday's emergency meeting with aid agencies and charities in Rome. The UN says it's so far received $1bn, but needs the international community to donate a billion more by the end of the year to stave off widespread starvation. The World Bank has promised 500-million-dollars for the region. However, $12m will be immediately released for relief projects for those worst hit by the drought. Al Jazeera's Jamal ElShayyal reports on the crisis.

Horn of Africa Famine: Millions at Risk in "Deadly Cocktail" of War, Climate Change, Neoliberalism

Original Website : democracynow.org http://www.democracynow.org/2011/7/22/horn_of_africa_famine_millions_at Democracynow is on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/DemocracyNow Friday, July 22, 2011 : Al-Shabab Says Foreign Aid Ban Continues in Somalia The militant Islamist group al-Shabab has announced its ban on foreign aid groups remains in place in Somali areas under its control. Al-Shabab reversed the longstanding ban earlier this month as the crisis in Somalia escalated into what the United Nations has now declared to be a famine threatening millions of people. The ban had grounded efforts to reach residents of drought-stricken areas across southern Somalia. Al-Shabab has also dismissed U.N. claims of a famine in Somalia as "100 percent false." Touring southern Somalia on Thursday, World Food Programme executive director Josette Sheeran appealed for more aid. Josette Sheeran: "They need fortified supplemental foods in massive quantities throughout the areas where they have been unable to be reached. So, mostly in southern Somalia we're seeing a weakened population, and we have to focus on this. We have called on all global supply lines to supply these fortified foods. We need the contributions and the supply chain to not end." http://www.democracynow.org/2011/7/22/headlines#1 Horn of Africa Famine: Millions at Risk in "Deadly Cocktail" of War, Climate Change, Neoliberalism The United Nations has called an emergency meeting to discuss the Horn of Africa drought, which it says has already claimed tens of thousands of lives. Famine was declared in two regions of Somalia on Wednesday where 3.7 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. Another eight million people need food assistance in neighboring countries including Kenya and Ethiopia. United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon calls the situation a "catastrophic combination of conflict, high food prices and drought" and has appealed for immediate aid. We go to Nairobi for an update from Kiki Gbeho of the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. We also speak with Christian Parenti, author of "Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence." "This was predicted long ago by people on the ground," Parenti says. "It's a combination of war, climate change and very bad policy, particularly an embrace of radical free market policies by regional governments that mean the withdrawal of support for pastoralists, the type of people you saw with their dead cattle. http://www.democracynow.org/2011/7/22/horn_of_africa_famine_millions_at Video source file : http://ewheel.democracynow.org/dn2011-0722.mp4.torrent End music : Music Box Opening (by Lzn02) http://www.jamendo.com/en/track/338677 The original content of DemocracyNow is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/ http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/legalcode

Thousands of deaths caused by starvation in Somalia

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N., or "FAO", asked for an additional 120 million dollars in aid for Northeastern Africa, 70 million to be sent to Somalia and 50 million to Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti and Uganada. The U.N. agency of refugees states that close to 40% of Somalia's children who reach Dadaab suffer from malnutrition. During the first four months of this year, more children died here than in the entire previous year. http://multimedia.telesurtv.net/en/20/7/2011/42662/thousands-of-deaths-caused-by-starvation-in-somalia/

UN food aid arrives in Somali capital

The first batch of airlifted emergency food for starving children has arrived in famine-struck Somalia. The UN plane was loaded with ten tonnes of supplies that will be used to feed thousands of malnourished children under the age of five for a month. However, aid agencies say they cannot reach more than two million others facing starvation in the parts of the country where Islamic militants control much of the worst-hit areas. There has been intense fighting between al Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab rebels and African Union troops ... http://www.euronews.net/

Somalian Militant Group Rejects Famine Aid

(Image source: BBC News) BY: ALEJANDRA QUINTELA Somalia is desperate and hungry. But when other countries offer aid, Al Shabab says "no." The militant group has reversed its decision earlier this month to allow aid organizations into the region -- following a UN declaration of famine. Al Jazeera reports: "The UN's food agency says that now 12 million people need emergency aid -- with hundreds of that lot dying every single day. In the regions where famine has been declared, close to a third of the population are suffering from starvation and mass displacement." But while the international community tries to respond to the UN's call, the rebel group says the declaration is a lie. Christian Science Monitor quotes an Al Shabab spokesman saying -- what famine? "We say [the UN declaration of famine in southern Somalia] is totally, 100 percent wrong and baseless propaganda. Yes there is drought but the conditions are not as bad as they say...They have another objective and it wouldn't surprise us if they were politicizing the situation." Al Shabab, an Islamic militant group with ties to Al Quaeda, has a history of harassing foreign aid groups. An analyst on CNN says Al Shabab's policies are what caused the famine in the first place. "All of these countries are suffering from this drougt. But it's only in Somalia -- and only in the southern part of Somalia where Al Shabab is in control -- where the UN has declared famine. ... They took a drought, and they turned it into a famine. They took a disaster and they turned it into an absolute catastrophe." But despite Al Shabab's refusal, humanitarian agencies are still trying to get into the famine zone. The Guardian reports: "The [World Food Program] plans to airlift food within the next few days into Mogadishu, to where many people have fled from the countryside due to hunger. The organisation is also looking at ways of getting food into the famine-hit areas if it can get assurances that its staff will not be harmed and aid will not be diverted." The situation gets more complicated, as official U.S. policies prohibit aid to terrorist groups like Al Shabab. Aid groups have been warned that any cooperation with the Al Shabab could cause serious legal trouble. "Like" Newsy on Facebook to get instant video news in your feed. Transcript by Newsy.

Weather conditions over the Pacific have interrupted seasonal rains for two consecutive seasons. Rains are not expected to return until September 2011. This drought, which is said to be 'the worst in 60 years', has caused a food crisis in the Horn of Africa that threatens the livelihood of more than 10 million people. The crisis is compounded by rebel activity around southern Somalia. The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS-Net) declared an emergency for large areas in southern Somalia, southeastern Ethiopia, and northeastern Kenya, which could culminate in widespread famine if the current conditions aren't addressed. Other countries in and around the Horn of Africa, including Djibouti, Sudan, South Sudan, and parts of Uganda are also affected by a severe food crisis. - Like/Dislike, Comment, Favorite and share on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ to get the word out on this video.

USAID Administrator Addresses Famine, Drought in Horn of Africa

Learn more at at: http://www.usaid.gov/hornofafrica On July 20, 2011, USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah held a press briefing in Kenya following his visit to Daadab refugee camp and Wajir. Across the eastern Horn of Africa, more than 11 million people—a number greater than the populations of Houston and New York City combined—are now in need of emergency assistance to survive. As a result of the region's worst drought in 60 years, crops have failed, livestock have died, and prices in local markets are too high for most people to buy what is needed to feed their families. Millions of people are affected in Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, and especially in Somalia. On July 20, 2011 the United Nations announced that famine exists in two regions of Somalia. As the situation has grown more dire, over 600,000 Somalis have fled to neighboring countries, , some walking hundreds of miles to refugee camps in search of food and water. Nearly half of the children arriving at the camps are acutely malnourished; all are in need of emergency assistance and support for the extremely difficult weeks and months ahead. The United States is one of the largest donors of emergency assistance to the region, helping more than 4.6 million of those in need and providing over $459 million this year alone, including an additional $28 million announced by Secretary Clinton following the declaration of famine.

Kenya - UN appeals for aid amid 'catastrophic' Horn of Africa drought

Kenya - REPORT - Gripped by the worst drought for sixty years, people across the Horn of Africa face starvation. The United Nations estimates that twelve million people are at risk of starving to death, mainly in Somalia, but also in Ethiopia and Kenya, as the international community struggles to plug a funding shortfall. UN Secretary General Ban ki-Moon has stated that 1.6 billion dollars of donations are required over the next 12 months, to tackle the crisis. Our reporters Duncan Woodside and Stephanie Braquehais visited Moyale District, in northern Kenya, close to the Ethiopian border. In the village of Funanqumbi, it has barely rained for two years. They found a once-proud cattle-herding community that is now entirely dependent on international aid. FRANCE 24 INTERNATIONAL NEWS 24/7 http://www.france24.com

Pope makes plea for drought-stricken Africa

Castel Gandolfo, Italy, Jul 31, 2011 / 12:41 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Pope Benedict XVI's Sunday Angelus address highlighted the plight of those affected by drought and famine in the Horn of Africa. "One thinks of the many brothers and sisters these days, in the Horn of Africa, who suffer the dramatic consequences of famine, exacerbated by war and the lack of strong institutions," the Pope told pilgrims gathered in the courtyard of his summer residence at Castel Gandolfo, 15 miles to the south of Rome. The Horn of Africa refers to the group of countries situated on the Somali peninsula in the north-east of the continent. These include Ethiopia, Djibouti and Somalia itself. All three states plus Kenya, which borders to the south, have been declared a drought zone by the United Nations. It's estimated to be the worst of its kind in 60 years. "The Word of God recalls how the water and bread are necessary for every human being," said Pope Benedict drawing upon today's Gospel passage which retold the story of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes by Jesus. "Jesus reminds us our own responsibility: to do what we can to help those who suffer from hunger and thirst. The task is immense. In this vacation time, do not forget others and do not be afraid to open our hands and hearts to help all those in need." The U.N. has also declared a famine in parts of Somalia. There, at least six out of every 10,000 children are dying every day due to starvation says the U.N. 25% of the Somali population is also now displaced. The situation is being made worse in those parts of the country controlled by Islamist groups who are refusing to accept Western aid. The Pope said today's Gospel "reminds us that it is forbidden to be indifferent to the tragedy of hunger and thirst! It encourages us to give them food to eat, and share our bread with the needy. Following Christ we must be sensitive to the poverty of nations." Pope Benedict said that Jesus Christ wants to take care of both our physical and spiritual needs. "Christ is attentive to material needs but wants to give more because man is always 'hungry for something more, has need of something more'," he said quoting from his 2007 book Jesus of Nazareth. This need is fulfilled in the Eucharist which is foreshadowed in today's Gospel, said the Pope. He added that the Eucharist helps us to love God more and, so, to love others too. "In the Eucharist Jesus also makes us witnesses of God's compassion for each brother and sister. The Eucharistic mystery thus gives rise to the service of charity towards the other." He then concluded by imparting his apostolic blessing. The Pope will return to his Rome residence in September.

Muslim Aid - Somalia Drought, Field Report. 19 July 2011

Muslim Aid Head of International Programmes reports from a temporary IDP camp in Mogadishu, Somalia on the desperate situation for thousands of people in the drought affected region. To help, please donate to Muslim Aid now. Call +44(0) 20 7377 4200 or visit www.muslimaid.org Muslim Aid has launched an urgent emergency appeal to provide humanitarian relief to people affected by the severe drought and malnutrition occurring in the countries of eastern Horn of Africa. An estimated 10 million people in Djibouti, Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Sudan are at risk of starvation. A shortage of food, water and medicines, made worse by persistent drought conditions in the region have forced thousands of people to flee their homes and seek refuge in camps in Mogadishu, as well as on the border of Northern Kenya and Ethiopia. Launching the appeal, a Muslim Aid spokesperson said: "The onslaught of drought in eastern Horn of Africa is not an overnight disaster event. It has been building up for months. Food and water reserves in these countries have depleted to the extent that governments are unable to meet the needs of their populations. Livestock are dying and food supplies have collapsed. Hundreds of villages have been totally abandoned. The time has come for the international community to take notice of this alarming situation and act fast to help the affected people before it is too late." "Muslim Aid Field Offices in Somalia and Kenya are providing relief to the refugees. Muslim Aid appeals to its donors and partner institutions to urgently come to the aid of the victims of drought and save precious lives."
