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.

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.

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/...

Somalia's armed al-Shabaab group have come close to capturing all of Somalia from the country's interim government which, while near-powerless, has international backing.

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.
