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

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.

Drought and High Food Prices in Somalia
Millions of Somalis are suffering from a combination of insecurity, drought and high food and fuel prices. An unusually harsh dry season and poor April-June rains, which followed a succession of droughts and poor harvests, have led to increasing hunger in central Somalia.
