HARGEISA– Mothers and children have expressed their health related concerns over factory which produces crushed stones and lime. Tawfiq, is a factory which lies just less than 1 km in the east from Hargeisa airport runway. The small factory is owned and run by Somaliland citizen who was given the contract of renovating the airport runway. Civil Aviation Agency Manager, Hon. Abdi Mohamed Rodol has informed the owner to relocate the factory but still the order has fallen into deaf ears. Local Somaliland newspaper run an article raising the concern already expressed by the residents which pose health related problems to communities that live just nearby the area.

TO: HEAD OF STATES OF THE AU CHAIRMAN OF THE AFRICAN UNION Your Excellency: Paul kagame The international community has made several brave efforts to rescue and reconstruct the disintegrated State of Somalia. All these brave efforts had however failed and Somali proper still lies in ruins and is still a theatre for marauding warring militants. All the experts, the political analysis’s and the experienced anthropologists called to help, have in their turn also failed to diagnose accurately the causes of the dilemma. These experts have for the first time came up against native problems, which defied their pet theories, their quaint conclusions and their misinterpretation of the abstract indices of native cultures. The poor eminent men and women could not admit that all their learned treaties were wrong, it was more convenient to accuse the leopard of changing its spots. The search for a solution of the Somali problem was always dogged by anomalies and ambivalences, which in one form or another emasculated every reconciliation effort. To understand those anomalies and ambivalences we must go back to the recent history of the Horn of Africa. In 1943 after the defeat of the Italian Colonies in East Africa a British Military administration took over all the Somali inhabited territories in the Horn of Africa. For the first time in one hundred years the Somali people were under one common administration, with a common currency and a common tariff. With the help of the huge military expending of the conquering British forces, there was an unprecedented boom in the Somali territories. The idea of remaining united and holding on to this bonanza of the union took hold over the minds of Somali leaders. The British Labor government of the time welcomed the Somali aspirations and proposed an expanded British Protectorate over all the Somali territories except the French Somali Coast; as the present Republic of Djibouti was known then. The proposal never found support in the council of the great victorious powers but the Somali clung to their hope and Greater Somalia was over since then the centerpiece of their political aspirations. In 1960 British Somaliland Protectorate and the Italian Trust territory of Somalia gained their independence and immediately united as the first step towards Greater Somalia. In 1963 the third step was almost taken when the British conservative Government of Harold Macmillan showed some sympathy and undertook to ascertain the wishes of the people of the NFD, Kenya and promised to act according to those wishes. Then an alarmed emperor of Ethiopia appealed to President Kennedy and a phone call from the Oval Office in the White House to No 10 Downing Street upset the Somalis for good. Consequently a disappointed and a bitter Somalia took up unrelenting confrontation with its neighbors and Horn of Africa had never known peace or constructive development. Eventually the rebellion against the Siyad Barre Dictatorship broke the spell of extreme nationalism. Now all the great powers, the AU, and the Government of the Horn of Africa countries, who is the 1960s denied Greater Somalia and made it into a pernicious concept, are now talking in a confused ambivalence about the Territorial integrity of Somalia. The Territorial integrity of the Democratic Republic, which was ruled by Mohamed Siad Barre “Af-Weyne”, is that of Greater Somalia but the Territorial integrity of Somali is that Territory which was once an Italian Colony. What is required for the solution of the Somali Problem is clarity of objectives and expressions. The politics of the Nile River must not be allowed to bedevil the Somali reconciliation and the Ethiopian ambivalence over Somalia and Greater Somalia must be resolved. A truncated Greater Somalia composed of the former Italian colony and the British Protectorate is impractical and unacceptable. What then? I am proposes that if the Territorial integrity of the Democratic Republic of Somalia is to be preserved, then I am asking that the Government of United States of America, the Government of France, The Government of UK, and the Africa Union should form a panel to organize the formation of a state of the Somali inhabited Territories in the Horn of Africa. Then were a golden opportunity, which was missed in 1960, and a humanitarian mission of the first category. The problem of the warning factions will immediately evaporated at the moment this mission is announced and a new grateful nation will appear in the Horn of Africa, bringing constructive contributions to the region and an everlasting peace to the Horn of Africa. We abjectly beg this Government to pity the agony of this tortured nation and to do the right thing at long last. Without embracing this noble scheme of building the only homogeneous nation if Africa, the nation of any other territorial integrity is a blasphemy, under such circumstance SOMALILAND DEMANDS RECOGNITION of its sovereignty and resents vehemently and equation of itself with the factions of Somalia.

301 000 children are acutely malnourished January 29, 2018, Mogadishu/Washington – Findings from the post-Deyr seasonal assessment conducted across Somalia in November and December 2017 indicate food security has improved notably due to continued large-scale humanitarian assistance and seasonal improvements to food and income sources during the Deyr (October-December) season. However, the 2017 Deyr rains were still below average in most parts of Somalia and the 2018 Gu (April-June) rains are also forecast to be below average. As a result, food and income sources are expected to remain below normal in most areas throughout the projection period. Although the risk of Famine (IPC Phase 5) has declined, in the absence of assistance, many households would face large food consumption gaps. Humanitarian assistance must be sustained to prevent further deterioration of the food security and nutrition situation in Somalia. Deyr rains started late and ended early, and rainfall amounts were well below average in northern parts of Somalia and slightly below average in many southern and central regions, although some southern regions received average or above-average rainfall. Relatively better rainfall during the 2017 Gu and Deyr seasons, compared to 2016 rainfall, has eased drought conditions in many areas. The 2017 Deyr season cereal harvest is estimated at 78 100 tonnes, including 5 200 tonnes of off-season harvest expected in February to March. This level of production is 78-79 percent of the long-term average (1995-2016). The 2017 Gu/Karan cereal production in northwest, harvested in November, was better than previously reported and is estimated at 15 950 tonnes; however, this production is still only 32 percent of the 2010-2016 average. Although the overall cereal production was better than expected both in northwest and southern Somalia, poor households in crop-dependent livelihood zones of Toghdeer region and some parts of southern Somalia currently have little or no food stocks due to low production. In these livelihood zones, farm labor opportunities were also limited. Deyr rains have improved pasture and water conditions in most pastoral livelihood zones and opened up internal as well as cross border migration possibilities. Food access among pastoralists in many areas improved in the second half of 2017 due to increased terms of trade between livestock and cereals. However, livestock losses sustained during the 2016-2017 drought have contributed to increased indebtedness among many pastoralists, and destitution among some. Livestock production and reproduction remain lower than normal due to low livestock herd sizes and low conception rates during previous seasons. Poor pasture and water conditions still persist in some pastoral livelihood zones in northern and central Somalia and parts of Gedo region. In these areas, further deterioration of pasture and water is expected during the dry Jilaal (January-March) season. Most areas of Somalia are currently Stressed (IPC Phase 2) or in Crisis (IPC Phase 3). Humanitarian intervention, which was scaled up during the second quarter of 2017 in response to high levels of food insecurity, was maintained through late 2017 and has contributed to the improved food security and nutrition outcomes observed during the 2017 post-Deyr seasonal food security and nutrition assessment. According to the Somalia Food Security Cluster, emergency humanitarian assistance reached approximately 2.7 million people a month between July and December 2017. Somalia faces a fifth consecutive below-average season. Climate forecasts from the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) at Columbia University indicate a 40 percent chance of below normal 2018 Gu rains in most parts of Somalia (50 % in parts of Bay and Bakool regions). As a result, pasture and water availability, crop cultivation, livestock reproduction, access to agricultural employment, and water and food prices are expected to be adversely impacted. In addition, in the absence of continued large-scale assistance, food security is expected to deteriorate through June 2018, as food and income sources decline further. Over 2.7 million people will face Crisis or Emergency (IPC Phases 3 and 4)1 between now and June 2018. This represents improvement in the overall food security situation in Somalia compared to the 3.2 million people projected to be in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse between April and December 2017. Through June 2018, an additional 2.7 million people are classified as Stressed (IPC Phase 2). In total, 5.4 million people across Somalia face acute food insecurity. This seasonal assessment was jointly led by the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit for Somalia (FSNAU, a project managed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), and the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET, a project funded by USAID) and carried out with the active participation of Government institutions and other partners. Results from 30 separate nutrition surveys conducted by FSNAU and partners between in November and December 2017 indicate that the overall nutrition situation in Somalia has shown some improvement with only 8 out of 30 nutrition surveys showing Critical levels of Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM 15-30%) compared to 20 out of 31 nutrition surveys conducted in June-July 2017. At national level, median prevalence of acute malnutrition has improved from Critical (17.4% GAM) in June-July 2017 to Serious (13.8% GAM) in November-December. Accordingly, the number of children under the age of five that are acutely malnourished children is estimated at 301 000, including 48 000 who are severely malnourished and face an increased risk of disease and death. Mortality rates have declined compared to previous seasons. However, Crude Death Rate (CDR) is still Serious (0.5 to <1 per 10 000 per day) in 14 out of 30 population groups surveyed. Under-Five Death Rate (U5DR) is also Serious (1-<2 per 10 000 per day) in 5 out of 30 population groups surveyed. Data from UNHCR indicates that drought-related displacement, which reached its peak in the first half of 2017, declined significantly from a monthly average of 117 000 between January to June 2017 to 29 100 between July and December 2017. Food security and nutrition outcomes across most of the 13 main settlements for internally displaced persons (IDPs) have also shown some improvement. Accordingly, most of the IDP settlements are classified as Crisis (IPC Phase 3). Declining food prices and increased employment opportunities have improved food security situation in most urban areas. However, some urban areas in southern Somalia that continue to experience localized trade disruptions and other urban areas in northern and central regions affected by drought and depreciation of the local currency are classified as Crisis (IPC Phase 3). Urgent treatment and nutrition support is needed for approximately 301 000 acutely malnourished children, including 48 000 who are severely malnourished. It is expected that over 2.2 million people will be in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and 496 000 people will be in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) between February and June 2018 and they need life-saving humanitarian assistance and livelihood protection support in order to prevent further deterioration of their food security situation. An additional 2.7 million who are Stressed (IPC Phase 2) also need livelihood protection support, as they are highly vulnerable to shocks that could push them to Crisis or Emergency (IPC Phases 3 or 4).

Thanks to the grace of Allah Somaliland has managed to secure and sustain peaceful co-existence among its diverse communities. But according to MP Mahmud Ahmed Obsiye and MP Abdikarim Aw Ali Shabeel of the Somaliland House of Representatives this achievement is being threatened by foul mouthed traditional leaders and the large number of automatic weapons under civilian hands. Speaking to Geeska Afrika the two Legislators said time for action was now in lieu of reversing all that Somaliland has stood for in the 26 Years since reclamation of self rule from Somalia. “In the recent past the country has been awash with clan animosity sentiments being expressed by traditional leaders be they sultans, chiefs or elders” said MP Abdikarim Aw Ali Shabeel adding that it was very ironic since these cadre of people are the ones expected to safeguard peace within local communities. Reiterating the imperatives of ensuring that traditional leaders do not posses carte Blanche authority to raise clan tensions in the country, MP Shabeel who is chairman of the parliamentary defense and security committee revealed plans for a law governing how to legally deal with such instances that are now absent. Said he, It is incumbent upon President Musa Behi Abdi to submit shall a bill to the house for debate and approval by Legislators. On the other hand the large number of citizens losing life from clan conflict is running very high not to mention the attendant cost of treating injured and recouping destroyed property. This wa stated by MP Mahmud Ahmed Obsiye who urged for immediate measures to not only establish perpetual end to inter clan strife but arrest the large number of subsequent deaths. Referring to the skirmishes between two clans in Sanaag region the legislator said that the recurring nature these clashes necessitate deeper thought. “While clan conflicts over water, grazing fields etc are part of our lives the possession of automatic weapons by civilians is making reconciliation difficult due to the large number of resultant deaths and injuries “said MP Obsiye as he stressed on the imperatives of the government taking urgent action. Stating that it is only the government that should possession automatic weapons the legislator who is deputy chairperson of the house finance committee said that implementation of the 1995 and 2010 laws governing gun ownership is imperative. Said he, let’s review the law with intend of completely banning civilian ownership of automatic weapons while giving confiscation muscle to the government

Minneapolis – The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General (SRSG) for Somalia, Michael Keating, met with Somali-American elected officials, women’s rights activists and business and community leaders on Friday during a whirlwind visit to the city of Minneapolis, home to the largest Somali diaspora population in the United States. Mr. Keating was hosted by the U.S. legislator Keith Ellison, who represents Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District where most of the state’s Somali residents live. “The diaspora is both a repository of ideas, of business connections, of hope in many ways and the government in Somalia right now is the most diaspora government there has ever been,” the senior UN envoy told a meeting of Somali entrepreneurs, community leaders and humanitarian aid organizers at the Minneapolis office of the National Urban League, a non-partisan civil rights organization. Participants expressed concerns over the security threat posed by Al-Shabaab militants. Other topics included U.S. regulations on remittances – a vital source of hard currency for the Horn of Africa country — and ongoing political tensions in Somalia. “We are grateful to facilitate the kind of conversations that are taking place in Somalia right now. The current reality is not state-forming, it is state-building, and that is a huge progress,” Mr. Keating noted. He later delivered a speech at the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs entitled, “New Beginning in Somalia: Building Lasting Peace, Security, and Prosperity.” The SRSG’s address focused on financial reform, job creation initiatives, inclusive politics and the vital role the Somali diaspora is playing in the reconstruction of their country. “The government in Somalia is largely drawn from the diaspora, a lot of the money that is helping people cope with the current drought conditions is coming from the diaspora. A lot of the political support for Somalia from a number of countries, whether it’s the US, Europe, Canada or other places, is coming as a result of the diaspora support,” he told the public forum. Members of the audience asked questions about the state of Somalia’s health care system, security conditions and the role of women in the country’s politics. Strong women, strong communities The UN’s top envoy in Somalia attended a luncheon with elected Somali-American officials. Mr. Keating’s next stop was the headquarters of Isuroon, a non-profit organization that lobbies for the empowerment of Somali-American women in Minnesota and improved health care services for the diaspora community. Founded by Fartun Weli in 2010, Isuroon also operates programmes designed to combat gender inequality, poverty and social isolation. Ms. Weli thanked the SRSG for meeting with women, girls and families who are supported by her organization. “We are very proud to create a safe space for women,” said the Isuroon executive director. Visiting the largest Somali mall in America Mr. Keating ended his stay in Minneapolis with a tour of the four-story Karmel Mall, the largest shopping center catering to the Somali community in the United States. The mall also serves as a community center bringing together Somalis from all walks of life. UNSOM
