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 probing theft of Somalia food aid
The United Nations is investigating the possible theft of food supplies meant for Somalia's famine victims. However, it has denied reports that half of all its aid is being stolen and sold on the black market. Al Jazeera's Zein Basravi reports.

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.

Drought, high food prices, and conflict have lead to famine in many regions of Somalia. The United Nations held an emergency meeting to tackle these issues.

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.

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

Libya - Who's Right and Who's Wrong, 1 of 3
July 25, 2011, NATO bombs a food warehouse in Zlitan, Libya. The purpose of American, European and Arab sanctions or siege is to starve a people, a nation into submission. This is a contradiction of the psyops now being promoted by the UN in Somalia, calling it one of the worst famines ever. With Somalia, it is complete with the mass media suddenly and simultaneously blasting pictures of emaciated Somali children at you, as the US Joint Special Operations Command is bombing in Somalia, killing whoever it deems to be a terrorist. War triggers famines and peace brings prosperity. We saw this in Angola when Jonas Savimbi was being used like so-called dissidents of liberty and democracy are being used today. Years ago, corporate media used such pictures of skin and bones children in other areas of Africa promoting it as starvation when the truth was that the people had been struck by the wasting attributes of HIV/AIDS, a biological warfare weapon manufactured in 1969-70 by the US Army under Public Law 91-171 and entitled "Synthetic Biological Agent". This is one reason the US Senate, the most powerful branch of the US government where Senators serve for six years before coming back up for re-election, refused for 40 years to ratify the UN Genocide Treaty. When the Libyan government indicated the food supply had become a target of NATO bombing, Western media and NATO, in concert, denied it and stated it only strike military targets. ..............

Food shortage looms over Somalia
Somalia's drought is worsening and the tense security situation is hindering aid operations in the country. But al Shabab fighters, with links to Al-Qaeda, have reportedly been trying to bolster support by offering help to those in need as an alternative to western aid which they claim is a propaganda tool. While lack of food for the next few months is expected to be a major problem, after two decades of war Somalis are no stranger to adversity. Jamal Osman reports from Wanlaweyn, eastern Somalia.

For more than 3 years combined 10 million people have been affected by severe drought in the horn of Africa, the worst it has ever faced in 60 years. 3 million of those affected are in Somalia and in need of desperate help as the situation has reached a stage where food is scarce and a quarter of the population has been displaced as thousands of families are having to flee daily from their homes towards neighbouring countries and refugee camps. The drought has affected all the countries located in the horn but southern and central Somalia are the most seriously hit with more than 70% of the population affected. More than 65% of the livestock have already died and crops have barely grown in the last three years. Malnutrition within the children and the elderly is the worst in the world with Global Acute malnutrition (GAM) over 40%. In the worst areas one in three children are suffering from malnutrition. To respond ADT has distributed emergency food to over 1500 households in Mogadishu and its suburbs. Construction of hand dug wells are also undergoing in lower Jubba. The situation is very very desperate and it cannot be described in words. We need your help to save lives of those dying out of hunger and thirst. Please donate generously.

Somalia: Famine is Nearly Catastrophic
Islamist rebels in Somalia who control parts of the country where famine was stated this week have said aid agencies they expelled from those areas last year are not allowed to return. Al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab militants imposed a ban on food aid in 2010, which the U.N. and Washington say has worsened the condition. The U.N. World Food Programme was among several groups forced out of rebel areas which are now preparing to return, describing the situation in Somalia as increasingly desperate, in a news conference in Geneva on July 22nd. WFP spokesperson Emilia Casella said,"The situation is extremely dire. We're convinced that it is a lifesaving mission that we are obligated to undertake and therefore as soon as we receive the assurances that we will have security and the proper conditions of access we will be going back, and in fact we're already making those plans together with our partners." Al Shabaab had promised to allow relief agencies with "no hidden agendas" greater access to their lands. The UN told reporters said it had a "moral imperative" to get back into the areas from which it had been forced out. Melissa Fleming, UN commission for refugees chief spokesperson said, "We are really trying our best to work inside Somalia so that people don't have to make this devastating, life threatening trek into Kenya and Ethiopia. If we could aid the victims on the spot, prevent them from leaving their villages, we would not be in this terrible situation we are seeing now. "Many of the refugees are arriving in very bad shape, we're saying its close to catastrophic, our nutrition experts are calling it a dire nutritional emergency." Al Shabaab accused the United Nations on July 21 in exaggerating the severity of the situation in the southern side of the country for political purposes.

World Food Program Halts Aid in Southern Somalia
The UN's World Food Program recently shut most of its operations in southern Somalia. Although WFP officials say they worry about people going hungry, the organization says conditions became impossible because of ongoing insurgencies in the country. It's another blow for Somalia which has not had a functioning central government since 1991. Mariama Diallo has a report on the situation.

This short film features people in Kenya who have seen the price of staples such as maize, beans and oil soar in the last two years. Many families are now getting by on only one meal a day. In the film, one woman says that she often misses her meals altogether so she can feed her children. Concern is responding to this crisis. In the Kerio Valley, we have successfully piloted a programme that uses mobile phone technology to give cash to the most vulnerable families so they can buy food. Marsabit and Kalacha we are working with partner agency Community Initiatives Facilitation and Assistance (Cifa) to help people manage the effects of drought.

The exodus of Somali refugees into Kenya and Ethiopia is getting worse by the day. Most arrive exhausted. Over 8,500 Somalis have come to Kenya since the beginning of July and 11,000 have gone to Ethiopia. It is not only drought that is driving people from Somalia. Twenty years of civil war have left the country with no effective government. ... http://www.euronews.net/

The Hidden Truth Of Somali Piracy - 1 of 2
The Hidden Truth Of Somali Piracy ... "Most of you have already heard about the Somali pirates. Just recently they captured an American cargo ship and held the captain hostage. They have done this to many other vessels from a variety of different countries. In fact, the American captain was lucky -- he escaped, with the help of some sharp-shooter Navy Seals -- but hundreds of international sailors and crew are still being held by Somali pirates who seek millions of dollars for their safe return, and the safe return of their ships. You know all this already, though. And you probably think it's just one more evil group of people trying to get rich quick. You probably even think we should just kill them all or find their Somali-based camp and wipe it out and be done with it. But there's another side of this story you haven't been told. And when you hear it, you might just change your opinion of what's been going on. I want to first describe Somalia. It's not a beautiful place, in fact it has been compared to hell on earth. All of Africa is poor by western standards, but Somalia is poor by African standards. Decades of drought, famine, genocide, war and corruption have left the inhabitants of this dusty ruin of a country in a constant battle for daily survival. The land is littered with trash and debris from brief periods of hope and prosperity that cycled through corruption and violence. People live in huts made of trash and a majority of the nation survives on their only resource -- the ocean. In the latter part of the 1990s, Somali people began to get sick. It was isolated at first -- skin rashes, some hair falling out, bleeding of the gums, diarrhea... and it came and went. Some people thought it could have been the fish or the water, but no one really could focus on the cause. Then, on Christmas day of 2004, it all became clear. The great earthquake in Indonesia caused a deadly tsunami that moved west, killing hundreds of thousands of people along the way, and finished by pushing the ocean waters up the Somali coast. After it receded, Somali people found dozens of huge, strange metal cylinders on their shoreline. Being impoverished but resourceful, people began to open the cylinders and scavenge through the contents. Maybe there was something of value inside... something they could use or sell for food. Some cylinders contained what appeared to be rocks or dirt, others had what looked like plastic and glass trash. Soon, the beaches were littered with the same debris, likely from cylinders that had broken apart under the water. Within a few weeks, hundreds of people were sick and 300 people had died. Why? What was going on? What does this have to do with pirates? In a schoolyard, the bullies usually pick on the weakest kids. In the global schoolyard, a country without a government to protect its people, like Somalia, is an invitation for abuse. And when the abuse is about money it's a done deal. The easiest way to abuse Somalia was to rob them of their one great resource -- food. According to Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, the United Nations envoy to Somalia, "European ships have been looting Somaia's seas of their greatest resource: seafood. We have destroyed out own fish stocks by over-exploitation ñ and now we have moved on to theirs. More than $300 million worth of tuna, shrimp, lobster and other sea life is being stolen every year by vast trawlers illegally sailing into Somaliaìs unprotected seas." The most prized catch of the Somali seas if the yellowfin tuna, yet these fish have been found to have surprisingly high traces of such toxic chemicals as cadmium, mercury and radioactive uranium. Despite this, these same fish are sold all across Europe without the requirement to disclose the chemicals or their country of origin. But that's not the worst of it.

The Hidden Truth Of Somali Piracy - 2 of 2
The Hidden Truth Of Somali Piracy... It's much more interesting to think in black and white, good and bad. But too often the truth comes in only one color, the green of money. Please check the website below to read the rest of the video article! http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=THE+HIDDEN+TRUTH+OF+SOMALI+PIRACY...+&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&psj=1&fp=9bef8cda26d1a6ec Why is it so hard to understand some of the underlying causes of problem? If illegal fishing and dumping of toxic waste, the uranium and radioactive, heavy metals like cadmium and mercury, also industrial waste and hospital wastes, chemical waste that are the contributing factors to the problem of Somali piracy, then why not go after the criminals that are taking advantage of the their unfortunate situations in the past two decades instead of addressing what the pirates are doing? Where is Justice for the Somali people? What would you do if this were your family where there is no government to protect you? I don't agree with what some of the pirates are doing, but what other alternative do they have. They complained to the UN many times but nothing was done about it! I provided you the websites to view! Now it's all up to you to make your own conclusions!!! ~Fatima Please check the websites below for more info http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/... http://www.projectcensored.org/top-st... http://english.aljazeera.net/news/afr... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news... http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5g... http://www.infowars.com/is-toxic-wast... http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/...
