UNHCR Visit to Somalia in Eid

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.

Somalian Militant Group Rejects Famine Aid

(Image source: BBC News) BY: ALEJANDRA QUINTELA Somalia is desperate and hungry. But when other countries offer aid, Al Shabab says "no." The militant group has reversed its decision earlier this month to allow aid organizations into the region -- following a UN declaration of famine. Al Jazeera reports: "The UN's food agency says that now 12 million people need emergency aid -- with hundreds of that lot dying every single day. In the regions where famine has been declared, close to a third of the population are suffering from starvation and mass displacement." But while the international community tries to respond to the UN's call, the rebel group says the declaration is a lie. Christian Science Monitor quotes an Al Shabab spokesman saying -- what famine? "We say [the UN declaration of famine in southern Somalia] is totally, 100 percent wrong and baseless propaganda. Yes there is drought but the conditions are not as bad as they say...They have another objective and it wouldn't surprise us if they were politicizing the situation." Al Shabab, an Islamic militant group with ties to Al Quaeda, has a history of harassing foreign aid groups. An analyst on CNN says Al Shabab's policies are what caused the famine in the first place. "All of these countries are suffering from this drougt. But it's only in Somalia -- and only in the southern part of Somalia where Al Shabab is in control -- where the UN has declared famine. ... They took a drought, and they turned it into a famine. They took a disaster and they turned it into an absolute catastrophe." But despite Al Shabab's refusal, humanitarian agencies are still trying to get into the famine zone. The Guardian reports: "The [World Food Program] plans to airlift food within the next few days into Mogadishu, to where many people have fled from the countryside due to hunger. The organisation is also looking at ways of getting food into the famine-hit areas if it can get assurances that its staff will not be harmed and aid will not be diverted." The situation gets more complicated, as official U.S. policies prohibit aid to terrorist groups like Al Shabab. Aid groups have been warned that any cooperation with the Al Shabab could cause serious legal trouble. "Like" Newsy on Facebook to get instant video news in your feed. Transcript by Newsy.

"SOMALIA" HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Where do you find Paradise? The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, Paradise is at the feet of the mother. This is variously interpreted to mean that the mother is responsible for teaching her children their religious obligations and good behavior that will win them Paradise; or it may mean that we earn Paradise by serving our mother throughout her life. Either way, it shows the great esteem, honor and respect that Islam has for mothers. While the fourth Commandment in the Bible is Honor thy father and thy mother, the Bible does not mention the mother separately as deserving good treatment. The Quran, in contrast, gives special recognition to the mothers suffering in bearing and nursing her child: And We have enjoined on man to be good to his parents: In travail upon travail did his mother bear him and in two years was his weaning. Show gratitude to Me and to your parents (31:14). (see themodernreligion.com under women) Women are more psychologically fitted to nurturing, more compassionate and patient Today in the Muslim world, even where many of the precepts of Islam are ignored, Westerners are often amazed at the gentle, loving treatment that parents receive. An Arab proverb says if you want to know how a man will treat his wife, look how he treats his mother. Becoming a mother is one of the greatest joys of a Muslim woman. She knows that her child is both a gift and a trust from God. She carries a great responsibility in raising a family, not only in caring for their physical needs, but also in educating them in their religion and morals. For this and other reasons, Islam calls upon all Muslims, male and female, to be educated, for how can a woman teach her children when she herself is ignorant? Islam also recognizes that, compared to the man, the woman is by nature more psychologically fitted to nurturing, more compassionate and patient. For that reason, Islam decrees that husbands must maintain their wives and children, and it encourages mothers with young children to remain at home with their children rather than work outside the house. And, in case of divorce, custody of young children goes to the mother. All this respect and honor goes to the mother, even if she is a non-Muslim, and also to maternal aunts. Thus the woman does not cut from her own family when she marries, but her children continue to honor the kin relationships of both their mother and father.
