Al-Shabaab's Famine - Somalia

4 million Somalis in danger of starvation To see more go to http://www.youtube.com/user/journeymanpictures Follow us on Facebook (http://goo.gl/YRw42) or Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/journeymanvod) In this report we bring you the first al-Shabaab interview with a Western news organisation since the UN declared famine in Somalia. They claim there is no crisis, but shocking images tell the real story. "Although we've saved many lives, 4,5 or 6 children die every day", says Doctor Abdalla Bulle. This is the result of a political deadlock, which has meant that aid is only trickling into an area hit by the worst drought in 60 years. Many aid agencies have pulled out of al-Shabaab areas and international donors are unwilling to rush in money, fearing it will end up in the hands of militants. Al-Shabaab deny they are hindering the aid effort: "we have only refused those who were doing more harm than good, and those with political agendas", a spokesman tells us. Indeed, on the ground aid workers seem more concerned with a lack of foreign aid than with AS interference. "There is no fear that aid agency funds are going to al-Shabaab. It's not humane that we can't access funds because of this fear", Hassan from Islamic Relief says. They, like other aid agencies here, maintain that they fully control the distribution of their aid. Some refugees say the group is controlling their movements, but there remains little evidence of corruption. To stop the disaster a full-scale rescue effort is needed, but while the argument over access goes on, the people's long wait continues. August 2011

UNHCR Visit to Somalia in Eid

The head of United Nations Higher Commission for Refugees, Antonio Guterres visited the Somali capital, Mogadishu, during Eid on Wednesday, to assess the current status of famine in the country. Guterres expressed his annual solidarity to a community during an important time that relates to their religious beliefs. This year, he picked Somalia and scheduled a visit that coincided with the end of the holy month of Ramadan - Eid. While this is a celebratory occasion for Muslims, Somalis have been suffering from the severe drought and starvation. "The international communities need to get together. All actors -- UN, Red Cross, Red Crescent, NGOS, Islamic organizations, need to work in a combined way, in a coordinated way, to be able to address the needs of these people that are suffering so much," said Guterres. According to Guterres, there are currently 850,000 refugees outside Somalia, and 1.4 million displaced inside Somalia, which he says is more difficult to support. "The Eid is a good moment to make this appeal, after Ramadan, to all parties to the conflict, to respect the humanitarian law, and to let humanitarian aid reach the totality of the territory of Somalia," he said. Relief aid agencies are finding it difficult to reach certain areas with millions of people who require aid. Many areas are under the control of Al Shabaab rebels, an al Qaeda-affiliated group.

Somalia famine spreads 'beyond reach of aid'

Famine has spread to a sixth area of Somalia and tens of thousands of people have died as a result of severe food shortages, the United Nations has said. More than half of Somalia's entire population faces a severe food shortage, and the world body has now officially extended the famine zone. In Mogadishu, there are now half a million refugees and there are warnings from the UN that the famine could spread to the entire south of the country by the end of the year. The UN says it needs at least $1bn, but one leading charity says the public is being mislead into believing that money can solve the crisis. Medicine Sans Frontiere, Doctors Without Borders, wants international aid agencies to admit that reaching some of the worst affected victims of famine may not be possible. The French-based charity has criticised aid agencies and parts of the media for glossing over the realities of the situation. The World Food Programme, which is providing most of Somalia's food, says lives can be saved, but admits there are millions of people it cannot reach.

Famine Spreads in Somalia

More displaced Somalis from the Bay area moved into the semi-autonomous region of Puntland in droves on Tuesday, as the nation continues to suffer from drought and famine. This region is the sixth in Somalia to be impacted by starvation since the United Nation's first announced the outbreak of famine in July which has affected a little over half the population. On Monday, the UN said that the six out of eight regions south of the country are now affected by the famine, as 750, 000 Somalis are at risk of starvation. Amina Mohammed is an example of a person who has been displaced within Somalia. "I came from Bay in Southern Somalia last month because of the drought, I settled at Galkayo but the recent clashes scared me and I had to move from there. I got here yesterday but the situation looks the same from where I came from, I don't know what to do," she said. Moreover, aid agencies are facing difficulty supplying the people with food, as the al-Qaeda affiliated al-Shabab rebels are prohibiting incoming aid to the southern territory which they predominantly control. Also, displaced farmers don't have enough time to reach their farms to tend their crops by October, when brief rainfall is expected. "The situation at Bay was very bad, there is a lot of starvation there and there is no water. The last time it rained there was years ago and all our livestock was wiped out. We are farmers and all our crops died, I don't think enough attention is being given to this situation," she said. The displaced have been complaining about the lack of basic human necessities like food and shelter. Thirty percent are suffering from severe malnourishment and the UN reports two in 10,000 deaths a day. Since the end of dictator Mohammed Siad Barre's rule 20 years ago, Somalia has been hit by continuous conflict and civil war. The country has been ruled by interim governments since 2004, but a meeting was held by various stakeholders on Tuesday in the capital Mogadishu to discuss both security and political reform and the holding of elections next year.

UN continues relief in Somalia

The UN says it will not decrease aid to Somalia despite reports of food aid being stolen. The UN acknowledged on Monday that it has been investigating food theft in Somalia for two months. Reports indicate that gangs have been stealing aid from starving refugees, and selling it off for cash. The reports of theft of aid could reduce the flow of much-needed aid into the country.

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.

As Muslims Celebrate Eid Somalia Struggles

Eid al-Fitr dawned on Somalia but for many people it did little to alleviate their terrible conditions. Most of Mogadishu's residents have been displaced by war, and thousands of southern inhabitants were forced to relocate to the capital to escape the tough drought that hit their areas and killed their cattle. They hoped to find in the capital some respite from starvation. Nuria Moallem is just one of the people who recently fled from southern Somalia because of the famine. Two of her children died from starvation a few days ago and has nothing to cheer about during the holiday, especially as she is barely able to feed her remaining children. "We live in very hard conditions and I cannot feel the joy of this Eid. I look forward to getting the basics necessities at home" she said. This woman and many other families in this camp, are up against their greatest challenges. Their lives depend on aid through charity. As they celebrate Eid amidst this scenario they are hopeful that the next holiday will bring their families some happiness. Despite the odds, relief agencies are still trying to help families in need. In this camp, which the World Assembly of Muslim Youth supervises, clothes have been distributed to hundreds of poor families. One of the directors of the organization, Omar Ali Bawab, said: "We came today to distribute some gifts and clothes for children in order to help them celebrate Eid". Mohammad, a young boy, holding Eid clothes that the organization had offered him, expressed his joy. "I am very happy because they gave me clothes so I can share the joy of Eid with my family" he said. Adapted by: Sarah Sfeir By: Nadia Idriss Mayen-Abd al-Rahman Boukhari, Al Arabiya

Drought leads to famine in Somalia

The United Nations declared famine in parts of southern Somalia, signalling to donors the need for more aid. International aid agencies will not travel into Somalia due to the influence of Islamic insurgents affiliated with al Qaeda, leading many to flee the country. Felipe Maya reports.

Aid Reaches Drought Victims In Islamist Area Of Somalia

The UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has called on donor countries to come up with $1.6bn for the famine in Somalia. The UN food agency will host emergency talks in Rome on Monday as aid agencies struggle to help nearly 12 million people on the brink of starvation. Meanwhile, the BBC has learnt that the Red Cross has managed to deliver food to 24,000 people to a town, north-west of the capital Mogadishu. It is one of the worst affected areas by drought in the country and is under the control of the Islamist group, al-Shabab.

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

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

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."

Somalia famine: Islamists keep aid workers out

International efforts to fight the famine in Somalia are in trouble now that Islamist groups in the country continue to deny access to aid workers. Only the Norwegian Refugee Council, the Red Cross and Islamic Relief are not banned from working inside Somalia. It means the European Union has the rely on these organisations to provide aid inside Somalia, and on camps like this one in Doolow, near the borders with Kenya and Ethiopia in areas that that are not controlled by Al Shabab. Kristalina Georgieva, EU Commisisoner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response: "We can get aid into the famine zones and we also can make it possible for many more places in Somalia to be provided with food, water, medical support. So IDPs do not have to cross all the way into Ethiopia or in Kenya, creating a bigger refugee problem for the future." Somalia's Al-Shabab islamist movement has said that the famine that has been declared by the United Nations was a 'politically motivated lie'. Al-Shabab has banned 16 aid organisations and also the World Food Programme from delivering aid in Somalia because it accuses them of spreading Christian thinking. Since 2008, a total of 36 international aid workers have been killed while working in Somalia.

[Channel 4 News] Somalia: A step away from famine 2008.05.16

By John Sparks: An upsurge in fighting in war-ravaged Somalia has triggered a food shortage affecting 2.6 million people. It has already been called the worst humanitarian crisis in Africa. And now the United Nations says the situation in Somalia is about to get much worse, with vast swathes of the country just a step away from famine. Somalia has been without a proper government since 1992. But an upsurge in fighting has helped to trigger a catastrophic food shortage affecting 2.6 million people. Last week Channel 4 News sent a cameraman to a clinic for malnourished children on the edge of Mogadishu. (C) Channel 4 News

U.N. Says U.S. Preventing Aid to Millions of Hungry Somalis

U.N. officials are saying that U.S. restrictions designed to stop terrorists in Somalia from diverting aid are hurting humanitarian operations in the country. Top UN humanitarian official Mark Bowden says UN agencies have not seen any evidence from the US government that food aid is being diverted to Islamic fundamentalists fighting the U.N.-backed Somali government. Bowden told journalists in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi: "What we are seeing is a politicization of humanitarian issues. The options for a lot of Somalis look pretty bleak."
