Somalis flee drought and civil war

Tens of thousands of Somalis fled their country in June, marking another rise in the flood of refugees streaming into neighbouring Ethiopia and Kenya. Many come to Dadaab, the largest refugee camp in the world, where around 1,400 people are arriving each week. Dadaab was built to house 90,000 people; it's now home to more than 350,000. Many children suffering from malnourishment are reported to have died on the long trek to the camp or within a day of arriving. Behind the crisis lies a devastating mix of civil war, rising food prices and one of the worst droughts to hit the Horn of Africa in modern history. The hardline Muslim Shabab militia, which is fighting the weak Transitional Federal Government in Somalia, has banned aid organizations from operating on the rich farmland it occupies, forcing residents to flee to the capital, Mogadishu. Al Jazeera's Nazanine Moshiri reports from Nairobi.

Weather conditions over the Pacific have interrupted seasonal rains for two consecutive seasons. Rains are not expected to return until September 2011. This drought, which is said to be 'the worst in 60 years', has caused a food crisis in the Horn of Africa that threatens the livelihood of more than 10 million people. The crisis is compounded by rebel activity around southern Somalia. The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS-Net) declared an emergency for large areas in southern Somalia, southeastern Ethiopia, and northeastern Kenya, which could culminate in widespread famine if the current conditions aren't addressed. Other countries in and around the Horn of Africa, including Djibouti, Sudan, South Sudan, and parts of Uganda are also affected by a severe food crisis. - Like/Dislike, Comment, Favorite and share on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ to get the word out on this video.

Raila launches shs.10b appeal to aid Kenyans

The government Thursday send out a distress signal on the food situation in the country noting that the number of Kenyans in need of food assistance has increased from 2.4 million to 4.0 million. Addressing an international press conference at his office Thursday, Prime Minister Raila Odinga said the situation had been compounded by an influx of Somali refugees to Kenya which has risen sharply with 380,889 refugees being accommodated at Dadaab instead of 90,000. "The horn of Africa is in the grips of a drought, believed to be the most severe in more than half-a-century. This humanitarian crisis is compounded by high global food prices and insecurity," said the Prime Minister. Accordingly, he said, government had directed that half a million bags of maize be released from the strategic reserves for famine relief. Noting that the move has reduced the strategic reserves from 8 million bags to below 2.2 million, the PM said the government was forced to take the drastic action given the gravity of the current crisis. Raila said the government needs Shs 10.9 billion for use in assisting the affected populations in the country and extend similar help to the economic refugees streaming in from Somalia. "It is a sorry state of affairs as 70 per cent of those coming in are women and children with just a few men some who are sick in need of medical attention," he noted. The Prime Minister in his update on the current drought that has resulted into serious famine in parts of north eastern province, the northern parts of Rift Valley province and Eastern provinces said the government faces a shortfall of Shs 2.3 billion of the shs 10.9 Billion needed to help those in need of relief assistance, including the urban poor, the elderly, women and children who have no access to food. Raila appealed to the international community to support the government by increasing food aid to Kenya, noting that new purchases could help the replenishment of reserves to at least 2.3 million bags. To further mitigate the situation, Raila noted that private millers had begun to import large quantities of maize after the government removed import duty on wheat and maize for six months while the government of Japan is bringing in about 41,000 tons of white maize on a grant basis. On the refugee situation Raila said the government had called an international conference in Nairobi next month to seek a substantial increase in commitments to fund the humanitarian crisis and to agree on more permanent solutions to the problems in the horn of Africa. He renewed his call to the international community to urgently set up feeding camps within Somalia to stop the exodus of refugees, saying most of them are economic refugees fleeing from hunger caused by a severe drought in the region. "Due to the lack of food in Somali, the influx of Somali refugees to Kenya has risen sharply. As at 19th July, 2011, 380,889 refugees were accommodated in Daadab. This complex was only meant for 90,000 people," said the Prime Minister. Biting drought The Prime Minister said the biting drought in most parts of the country has been further compounded by price volatility in food commodities which he said is worrying and called on the international community to come to the aid of the government in its efforts to alleviate the crisis. The PM said the government is in the process of developing sustainable response to food, water, shelter and sanitation needs for the affected populations. "The international community must help to ensure increased agricultural productivity in the Horn through a shift from rain fed agricultural productivity; better storage facilities, environmental protection and conservation," he said. He urged the international community to set up feeding camps inside Somalia to help reduce the burden on the regional countries that are receiving refugees fleeing hunger and starvation in Somalia. The PM clarified that importation of maize is a short term measure to alleviate suffering adding that the National Cereals and Produce Board - NCPB has been allocated substantial amounts of money for use in purchasing produce from farmers. "Kenyan farmers will not be left stranded with their harvest, the NCPB must buy all the grain and help boost the strategic grain reserves that have a shortfall," said Raila

Somalis flee to Kenya in search for food

Somali refugees have become the victims of the worst drought to hit the Horn of Africa in nearly sixty years. Faced with starvation and caught in conflict, thousands of Somalis are fleeing their country and heading for Kenya. They have traveled through harsh conditions with little food or water, and no humanitarian assistance. Many head across the border to northern Kenya into Dadaab refugee camp expecting help. But drought has hit almost every country in the Horn of Africa. Somalis have been fleeing from war for years now, but this is a different kind of exodus. The refugees are forced to leave their land because they risk dying of starvation at home. Nazanine Moshiri reports from Dobley, Somalia.

Somalia famine: Islamists keep aid workers out

International efforts to fight the famine in Somalia are in trouble now that Islamist groups in the country continue to deny access to aid workers. Only the Norwegian Refugee Council, the Red Cross and Islamic Relief are not banned from working inside Somalia. It means the European Union has the rely on these organisations to provide aid inside Somalia, and on camps like this one in Doolow, near the borders with Kenya and Ethiopia in areas that that are not controlled by Al Shabab. Kristalina Georgieva, EU Commisisoner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response: "We can get aid into the famine zones and we also can make it possible for many more places in Somalia to be provided with food, water, medical support. So IDPs do not have to cross all the way into Ethiopia or in Kenya, creating a bigger refugee problem for the future." Somalia's Al-Shabab islamist movement has said that the famine that has been declared by the United Nations was a 'politically motivated lie'. Al-Shabab has banned 16 aid organisations and also the World Food Programme from delivering aid in Somalia because it accuses them of spreading Christian thinking. Since 2008, a total of 36 international aid workers have been killed while working in Somalia.

The extra twist in this case: some members of his family are convinced they know who committed the crime. Hear from the family of Abdinasir Dirie as the fifth estate explores the searing pain of their struggle and peels back the layers of a story even more complicated than anyone originally expected.

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.
