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.

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.

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

Somalia famine victims flooding into Mogadishu CCTV News
In Somalia, famine victims are flooding into the capital Mogadishu, in the hope of finding food aid and shelter. The south of the country is in the midst of one of the worst droughts in 60 years, with many people already dead from starvation and disease. Meanwhile, the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab militia appears to have backtracked on an earlier decision to allow international aid groups into the region. The group which controls much of the area denies a famine is taking place. It disputes UN estimates that tens of thousands of people have died in Somalia.

Millions face famine in Somalia
The United Nations has declared a state of famine in some parts of southern Somalia where the worst drought in over half a century is already being blamed for thousands of deaths. An estimated 3.7 million people, or more than one-third of Somalia's population, is in need of emergency aid, the UN's food agency said on Wednesday. "Every day of delay in assistance is literally a matter of life or death for children and their families in the famine-affected areas," Mark Bowden, the UN humanitarian co-ordinator for Somalia, said. "It is likely that tens of thousands will already have died, the majority of those being children." The UN has appealed for $300m to help victims of the drought, and aid groups have criticised the slow response of many Western governments to fund the shortfall. Al Jazeera's Mohamad Adow reports from Nairobi, Kenya.

Somalis in Uganda fear backlash after Shabab bombings
Uganda has long provided a sanctuary for Somali refugees fleeing unrest between al-Shabab fighters and the government in their home country. But following last week's deadly bomb attacks in Uganda, claimed by the al-Shabab, the migrant community is now apprehensive of a backlash. Al Jazeera's Andrew Simmons reports from the Ugandan capital Kampala on how Somalis are trying to pacify families bereaved by the attacks to reassure them of whose side they are on. [July 16, 2010]

Somaliland shelters war-displaced - 12 Nov 09
Thousands of people displaced by fighting in Somalia are ending up in the relatively peaceful neighbouring territory, Somaliland. Once part of Somalia, it is now a self-declared republic in the troubled Horn of Africa region, and has been seeking international recognition of its independence since 1991. Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow, in Burao, the main city of Togdheer province, says the complicated nature of local politics is blocking relief efforts. Somaliland is a former British protectorate in north western Somalia. In 1960, it gained its independence and united with what was then Italian Somaliland to form the Somalia republic. In 1991, it declared independence after Mohamed Siad Barre, the Somali military leader, was overthrown. Political unrest Tension over the Somaliland presidential election, which was due to have been held on September 27, has given rise to fears that the self-declared territory could become a failed state like its neighbour Somalia. The polls have been postponed indefinitely due to serious differences between the political parties since 2008. The complicated nature of local politics is blocking relief efforts in Burao This uncertainty has led to increased concern about Somaliland in the international community, and a flare-up of political animosity within the territory. Recent violence, particularly in the capital Hargeysa, has shown that the crisis in Somaliland has changed from being political to one of security and stability. Despite the unrest in September, Somaliland has a relatively stable democracy. It has a population of 3.5 million people, according to government estimates, and is a relatively stable democracy even though it has not been internationally recognised. This is partly because it has developed a unique hybrid system of government. The row over elections - largely seen as a test for this fledgling nation - threatens to divide it.

Somaliland at crisis point - 11 Nov 09
Somaliland has been hailed as a beacon of stability in the troubled Horn of Africa region since declaring independence from Somalia in 1991. But Al Jazeera's Mohamed Adow, reports that some experts now believe the self-declared republic is at crisis point, as an election row deepens. The current tension in Somaliland centres on the presidential election, which was due to have been held on September 27. The polls have been postponed indefinitely due to serious differences between the political parties since 2008. This uncertainty has led to increased concern about Somaliland in the international community, and a flare-up of political animosity within the territory. Recent violence, particularly in the capital Hargeysa, has shown that the crisis in Somaliland has changed from being political to one of security and stability. Fears over the crisis has even led one senior political figure to warn that it could become another failed state, like neighbouring Somalia. Somaliland is a former British protectorate in north western Somalia. In 1960, it gained its independence and united with what was then Italian Somaliland to form the Somalia republic. Limited democracy In 1991, it declared independence after Mohamed Siad Barre, the Somali military leader, was overthrown. Somaliland has a population of 3.5 million people, according to government estimates, and is a relatively stable democracy even though it has not been internationally recognised. This is partly because it has developed a unique hybrid system of government. The row over elections - largely seen as a test for this fledgeling nation - threatens to divide it. The hope now lies with a recently appointed electoral commission, entrusted with the task of organising elections, a step seen as vital to Somaliland's quest for international recognition.
