  2. Hargeisa — Milk traders and local officials in Hargiesa have welcomed a grant worth 4 million euros ($5.4 million) from the European Union and partner agencies to improve food security and increase milk production in the Somaliland region. The initial phase of the project is limited to Hargeisa, Somaliland Minister of Livestock and Development Abdi Aw Dahir Ali said at the project's opening event on November 25th, attended by representatives from the EU and implementing organisations. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) will provide an additional $400,000, and is implementing the project with Nairobi-based partner organisation International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE), he said. "The project will have a secondary phase that will extend it to the other regions," Ali said. "It is a chain production of milk, animal healthcare, milking equipment, transportation, containers for marketing and cooling equipment." To meet increasing demand, the Somaliland region currently imports the majority of its milk as powdered milk, according to the FAO Somalia. The project aims to increase local milk production from camels and cattle to produce 80% of consumption needs. In the first phase of the three-year project, a milk production plant will be opened in Hargeisa that will provide markets with canned milk, said veterinary doctor Abdi Osman Haji Abdi, a consultant for the joint FAO and ICIPE project. The project will provide direct small-scale funds to about 40 co-operatives and will facilitate the construction of a sales plant in Gobanimo market, which is one of the largest markets for milk, Abdi told Sabahi. The project will also help the government in the creation of the dairy milk law, which will be important in managing milk production, he said. About 30,000 litres of milk is brought into Hargeisa each day, Abdi said, while 70% of the milk used in Somaliland is imported powdered milk. "This project will support all the value chain actors in the milk sector and will provide a boost for employment creation in Somaliland," said EU Special Envoy to Somalia Michele Cervone d'Urso at the launch of the project. "We expect the initiative to increase the income of 1,000 pastoralists and agro-pastoralists communities. It will also allow more than 50,000 households to have access to hygienic milk http://allafrica.com/stories/201312060218.html

  7. he didn't sell his country, he sold his ambition to the whole world sxb, he spent 27 years because he refused to take orders from white minority they could have gave him everything if he hadn't repelled them. he went prison for his people he did all this sacrifice for his people he didn't give up realising one day he might get out the prison and serve his people. he reconcile the white minority and he outmaneuvered them. ofc he had some flaws before he go the prison some people say he too arrogant and dictatorship later on after 27 years being behind bars he came out the prison and he learnt many things there( the university of struggle). non-violent resistance is the best resistance if you can obtain, if you don't have choice then blood shed will be next alternative. that's why somalia is at this state failed state. they take guns before every ever other alternative.

  16. NAIROBI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – When Naima’s husband came home after the birth of their first child in a village in rural Somaliland, there was a rank smell of urine in the house. He asked his wife what it was. “This happened to me after I gave birth to our son,” she said. Her body had been torn during her prolonged labour, leaving a fistula, a hole between her vagina and bladder. At least two million women in developing countries live with fistula, a devastating childbirth injury which results in uncontrollable leakage of urine and/or faeces. The story of Naima (not her real name) is told by Edna Adan Ismail, a midwife who founded a hospital, speaking to Thomson Reuters Foundation in the Somaliland capital, Hargeisa. Naima’s husband instantly disowned her and told her to go back to her family. “You are damaged goods,” he said. “I cannot have you leaking and dirtying my house.” He grabbed the baby out of her arms. Naima tried to snatch him back. “He takes a knife and he goes: ‘Let go of the baby.’ And he puts the knife through here,” said Ismail, pointing to the middle of her chin. The blade went up through Naima’s tongue and hit the roof of her mouth. SLASHED FROM EAR TO EAR Undeterred, she lunged for her child again. This time, he slashed her from ear to ear along her chin and left with the baby. Naima crawled out of the hut to her neighbours, who sutured her with a needle and thread, and carried her to the nearest hospital in Burao. Days later, the hospital in Burao telephoned Ismail, asking her to send an ambulance to collect Naima – a six-hour journey - and bring her to Ismail’s hospital, the Edna Adan Hospital in Hargeisa. Ismail, who could not spare her only ambulance, asked if they could put her on a truck. “And she says: ‘I cannot because the truck drivers refuse to carry this woman because she smells.” “I said: ‘Ok. Go into town. Get the most foul, smelly perfume that you can get. Get a couple of big plastic bags. Put as many padded things as you can on her. Punch holes on the sides of the bags and put them on her as Pampers (nappies),” she said. “Put her on a truck and tell the driver Edna will give you $30 if you will bring her auntie to her.” And so Naima made it to Ismail’s hospital and had surgery to repair her fistula. She worked in the hospital kitchen for several months while she recovered her strength. ATTEMPTED MURDER Ismail offered to help Naima prosecute her husband. “If you want to take that man to court, I will stand on my head to put that man on trial because that is attempted murder,” she told Naima. “If it’s the last thing I do, I am willing to support you and to bring that man to justice.” Naima refused. “No, I can’t do that to my child’s father,” she said. Ismail doesn’t know what became of Naima after she left the hospital. She is just one of hundreds of women who Ismail has helped since 2002 when she started holding fistula camps, at which visiting surgeons carry out operations. Around the world, more than 50,000 new fistula cases occur each year, the overwhelming majority in Africa. Only one in 50 of those women receives treatment. In Somaliland, which broke away from Somalia in 1991, the number of new cases is dropping thanks to Ismail’s work, both in treating fistula and in training more midwives to help women deliver their babies safely. She feels blessed to have been able to help so many women. Patients usually start crying when they use the toilet normally for the first time after the operation, she said. “And that’s when we start crying too because we are so happy that one human being has been given back life,” she said. http://www.trust.org/item/20131203165707-e4mp7/?source=hpeditorial&siteVersion=mobile
