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

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.

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.

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

Somaliland's hopes for international recognition
http://tinyurl.com/45gts2s It's exactly 20 years since the former Somali military strongman Siad Barre was overthrown, plunging his country into anarchy. But away from the violence of Mogadishu, there's a part of the country which is prospering - Somaliland. Last year, it held a presidential election which was praised by international observers. The BBC's Zeinab Badawi has been given rare access to Somaliland and reports from the capital, Hargeisa.
