The EU Supported Lot2 project implemented by Fair Fishing has failed significantly The main reason for this failure according to the local fisherman is the current Fair fishing project management and the Chairman Claus Bindslev and his father Carl Jørgen Bindslev Head of Fair Fishing Secretariat Fair Fishing writes the following about the LOT2 project on their website “In mid-2016, Fair Fishing received a grant from the European Commission, aiming to boost income, livelihood and nutrition through a fishery-based economy at the Horn of Africa. For the coming years, until the end of 2018, Fair Fishing will develop more fishery stations along the coast of Somaliland and establish or improve fish markets in several cities to support the whole fishery value chain. Until early 2017, we are validating the action plan to ensure that we achieve the biggest possible impact with the funds at hand.” The questions we have asked the local fishermen from Berbera and other sources from the Ministry of Fisheries in Somaliland is the following. 1. How many fishery stations have fair fishing built? 2. How many fish markets have fair fishing establish or improved? 3. How have the boosted the income and livelihood? The EU supported LOT2 project is already ending December this year We have not been able to find other Fair Fishing built stations, or locate Fair Fishing built fish markets also we lack of real evidence that the project has strengthened and boosted the local income, livelihood and nutrition through a fishery-based economy in Somaliland. But why is this the case According to the local fishermen, Fair Fishing has changed its course led by their new chairman Claus Bindslev. Who is Claus Bindslev? what is his purpose, and why has it resulted in such a big local disappointments and the loss of confidence from so many local fishermen.According to the local fishermen Kurt Bertelsen the former project manager and fishery expert and the two Somali founding members Said Hussein and Mahad Aden have no longer a role in Fair Fishing. Kurt Berthelsen has openly quit his job as project manager and fishery expert. His disappointments of Fair Fishing new direction dictated by the new chairman is Well-known among the local fishermen in Berbera. The local fisherman and the fishing local organization POOF are incredibly disappointed with this new direction and hope that the EU and Somaliland government will support the fishermen and stop fair fishing.

A 17-year-old Portland girl who summoned the courage last year to call 911 to report being sexually abused told a judge Friday she was angry her molester was convicted. The girl repeated her testimony at trial: She had never been molested and had lied to investigators. But the judge wasn’t buying it, having found two months ago that the girl was the product of intense pressure from family and others in her Somali American community not to speak out. In an emotional hearing Friday, Multnomah County Circuit Judge Leslie Roberts sentenced the molester — 46-year-old Hassan Mohamedhaji Noor — to 12 ½ years in prison. “There is no point in arguing that it didn’t happen,” said Roberts, directing her comments to the girl and an audience of more than 30 Noor supporters. Some cried as Noor was sentenced. After the four-day trial in December, the judge found Noor guilty of sexually abusing three girls in his tight-knit immigrant community, which numbers about 8,000 in Portland. In the spring, victims told police and later a grand jury that Noor had asked them to give him leg massages, then directed them to work their way up to his genitals. They ranged in age from 11 to 16 years at the time of the abuse. The girls also had explained how unsupportive their mothers, fathers, aunts or other adults had been after they confided in them about the abuse. The girls said those trusted adults warned them that if they reported the abuse to police, no one would believe them and no one would want to marry them. The adults also told them it was up to Allah to decide Noor’s guilt, not a court of law, investigators said. In the months leading up to trial, two of Noor’s victims recanted. The third — who stuck by her story — testified her parents had disowned her. A fourth young woman also testified that she’d been disowned for coming forward about Noor’s abuse of her. She was allowed to testify, even though the statute of limitations had already passed and Noor couldn’t be convicted of molesting her. Friday, prosecutor Amber Kinney told the judge that despite the 17-year-old’s recantation, she admires her for calling 911 to stop Noor. “I have never met a stronger woman than when I met her at grand jury,” Kinney said. “She had no independence, yet she knew what was right. And she fought for what was right.” Kinney said the hardest part for the victims wasn’t coming forward with their reports. Instead, it was the campaign of “suppression” from Noor and the people around them, Kinney said. Friday, the 17-year-old girl sat next to Kinney, less than 10 feet from Noor. She said she didn’t appreciate the prosecutor’s statement. She repeatedly insisted she wasn’t an abuse victim but acknowledged she has been through a lot. “Ever since this happened, I’ve been forced to grow up. I’m 17, and I feel 35,” she said. Noor crinkled his face, frowned and cried during the hearing. But he declined to make any statements. During recorded police interrogations, Noor defended himself by saying he couldn’t have done such terrible things because he is a religious man who prays five times a day. Oregon law allowed the judge to sentence Noor to as few as 6 ¼ years in prison and as many as 70 years. Kinney asked the judge for 25 years. Kinney said Noor still claims he’s innocent, which makes him unlikely to benefit from sex-offender treatment. A presentence investigator — who delved into Noor’s life history and mindset — determined Noor was at high risk of offending again, Kinney said. Noor’s defense attorney, Christopher McCormack, asked for 6 ¼ years. He said Noor has done a lot of good as a hard-working father of six. “He’s not a monster,” McCormack told the judge. “He’s a kind person who has won the hearts of the Somali community.” Noor immigrated to the United States more than 20 years ago. He was working full-time as a Lyft driver at the time of his arrest, according to court papers. Noor’s wife spoke, saying life without her husband has been tough. She then started to scream “Please! Please!” at the top of her lungs, before collapsing onto the courtroom floor in tears, where she lay for a minute. In sentencing Noor to 12 ½ years, the judge said she was not giving him a lighter sentence than the prosecutor had asked out of lack of confidence in her verdict. Rather, Roberts said, she thought the sentence would be adequate in protecting society. The judge also acknowledged that a defendant’s crimes affect a larger number of people than the victims. The harm “ripples out in concentric circles through a family” and “throughout a community,” the judge said.

Hargeisa – The head of United Nations humanitarian efforts in Somalia today underlined the importance of improving communities’ resilience to better withstand the effects of recurring droughts, such as famines. “After a year of very hard collective work, having avoided so far the famine, we don’t want to just say we have postponed it, we want to say that we have successfully fought and overcome the famine,” the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, Peter de Clercq, said. “Supporting people in emergency situations together with simultaneously building resilience,” he added, “will help prevent the next famine and not only delay it.” The UN official was speaking in Hargeisa, the capital of ‘Somaliland,’ where he met with various high-level officials and civil society representatives. A key topic in his encounters was that while famine had been averted in the northeast of the Horn of Africa in 2017 – thanks to the efforts of Somalis and their international partners – the risk of famine associated with the drought is still very present, with millions of people in the region still in need of life-saving humanitarian assistance. “The humanitarian effort is our foremost priority,” he said. “It is, of course, first on our minds.” Results of a recent drought impact needs assessment, led by Somalia’s federal and regional governments with the support of international partners, point to food insecurity and rapid urbanization as some of the underlying causes of the humanitarian emergency. “We are seeing a lot of displacement,” the UN official said. “We are seeing the cities and towns in ‘Somaliland’ growing, and more and more destitute people who have lost their livestock and livelihood coming to the cities in expectation of some support and assistance – many of these people will not be going back.” In his meetings, the Humanitarian Coordinator – who also serves as the Secretary-General’s Deputy Special Representative for Somalia and the UN Resident Coordinator – highlighted that, far from competing, both emergency relief and longer-term resilience-building efforts complemented each other with a view to breaking the cycle of drought and famine. Mr. de Clercq added that in the next ten to 20 years, around 80 per cent of the population will be living in towns and cities, no longer relying on livestock or a nomadic lifestyle, noting that, “In our plans we need to support this reality.” The UN official recalled what ‘Somaliland’ officials had previously told him almost two years ago: “‘We are going to have a drought and conditions will be very bad, but we want this cycle to stop, we don’t want to have to launch another relief operation every few years. We want the country to grow its own food, to produce its own wealth so that it doesn’t have to rely on outside handouts.’” During his visit, Mr. de Clercq met with different key actors in ‘Somaliland,’ including the President, Vice-President and Foreign Minister as well as civil society representatives. Their discussions included resilience efforts which can be aligned with ‘Somaliland’s’ development plan, taking advantage of the existing coordination between the Government, UN agencies and programmes, and international partners.

A United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) report released on Tuesday has named Somalia one of the riskiest places to be born. According to UNICEF, Somalia is in a four-way tie for the fourth most dangerous country to be a newborn. 1 in 26 babies from Somalia, Lesotho, Guinea-Bissau and South Sudan die before celebrating their first birthday. Somalia scored slightly better than Pakistan, Central African Republic and Afghanistan where babies face the worst odds of survival. The report, entitled ‘Every Child Alive: The urgent need to end newborn deaths’ concluded that global deaths of newborn babies remain alarmingly high among the world’s poorest and most conflict-wracked countries. “While we have more than halved the number of deaths among children under the age of five in the last quarter century, we have not made similar progress in ending deaths among children less than one month old,” said Henrietta H. Fore, UNICEF’s Executive Director. “Given that the majority of these deaths are preventable, clearly, we are failing the world’s poorest babies.” The report stated that almost half of all children under-five who died in 2016 were newborns. More than 80 percent of the newborn deaths are due to prematurity, complications during birth, or infections. These deaths can easily be prevented with access to healthcare professionals along with proven solutions like clean water, disinfectants, breastfeeding within the first hour, skin-to-skin contact and good nutrition. However, as the report points out, while there are 218 doctors, nurses and midwives in Norway per 10,000 people, that ratio falls to one per 10,000 in Somalia. Globally, the average newborn mortality rate in low-income countries is 27 deaths per 1,000 births. In high-income countries, that rate drops to 3 deaths per 1,000. Newborns from the riskiest places to give birth are up to 50 times more likely to die in their first month than those from the safest places. The report also notes that 8 of the 10 most dangerous places to be born are in sub-Saharan Africa, where pregnant women are much less likely to receive assistance during delivery due to poverty, conflict and weak institutions. However, Rwanda, a low-income country, has had tremendous success in caring for newborns. The East African country halved its newborn mortality rate in the last two decades, from 41 in 1990 to 17 in 2016. Highest newborn mortality rates 1. Pakistan: 1 in 22 2. Central African Republic: 1 in 24 3. Afghanistan: 1 in 25 4. Somalia: 1 in 26 5. Lesotho: 1 in 26 6. Guinea-Bissau: 1 in 26 7. South Sudan: 1 in 26 8. Côte d’Ivoire: 1 in 27 9. Mali: 1 in 28 10. Chad: 1 in 28 Lowest newborn mortality rates 1. Japan: 1 in 1,111 2. Iceland: 1 in 1,000 3. Singapore: 1 in 909 4. Finland: 1 in 833 5. Estonia: 1 in 769 5. Slovenia: 1 in 769 7. Cyprus: 1 in 714 8. Belarus: 1 in 667 8. Luxembourg: 1 in 667 8. Norway: 1 in 667 8. Republic of Korea: 1 in 667 The report was released in conjunction with the launch of ‘Every Child Alive’ – a global campaign aimed at ensuring “affordable, quality health care solutions for every mother and newborn.” The numbers 7,000 – the number of newborn babies who die every day 5 – the number of newborn babies who die every minute across the world 50 – how many more times newborns from risky places are likely to die than those from the safest place 2.6 million – the number of babies who do not survive through their first month. 16 million – the number of lives that could be saved if every country brought its newborn mortality rate down to the high-income average by 2030 27 deaths per 1,000 births – the average newborn mortality rate in low-income countries. 3 deaths per 1,000 – the average newborn mortality rate in high-income countries.
