Somaliland: Minister of Information unveils when the new radio reaches the country Posted on 31/08/2011 in Latest Headlines | Comments (0) Borama (JSLTimes)-Minister of information and national guidance Mr. Ahmed Abdi Haabsade today unveils that huge radio will be brought to the country within the forthcoming October, and people throughout the country will listen wherever they are. The minister told this at a press conference held at RAYS hotel in Borama, the capital of Awdal province while the ministry is in the region. The minister assured that the radio will reach the country shortly, the government of Somaliland and the people were awaiting the radio to be brought to the country as soon as possible. The minister speaking at the press conference said that the radio will take part when it comes to the development of the country. He further added that his ministry has made the right progress and they will continue. The minister urged reporters from Awdal region that they should serve for the people in good manner, guide the people towards progress, and remain vigilant when it comes to those people who wish to harm the country and the people. The current radio owned by the government of Somaliland is not listened throughout the country due to short wave length. Previous administration led by the former president Riyale did many attempts to buy and bring a radio with large wave length to the country but all their attempts did not work. If the current administration led by incumbent president Siilaanyo achieves to bring the radio to the country, it will allow the government to reach large audiences in nationwide and this will also give the government to inform its policies and programs to the public.

We should first discuss whether Somalia's government is a parliamentary system or presidential System its not clear whether the TFG has adopted the Parliamentary System or a presidential System. Currently Abdiweli operates as vice president with less executive power, it seems perhaps the TFG uses a semi presidential System. Because Sharif Appoints the the Army Chiefs and the Ambassadors of the Country.

Famine Soon to Worsen in Somalia, Report Predicts By Charlene Porter U.S. Department of State Saturday, August 27, 2011 A new analysis of food security in the Horn of Africa reports that the level of acute malnutrition for people in some areas of Somalia exceeds 50 percent. Food insecurity will worsen to become famine in most areas of southern Somalia within four to six weeks, according to an August 24, 2011 report from the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET). With backing from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), FEWS NET keeps watch on the status of food security in more than 30 nations. Using data from trained observers in the region and satellite and scientific data, FEWS NET predicted the onset of famine in the Horn of Africa as much as a year ago. It is considered among the most authoritative sources on current conditions and what's to come. Drought is widely known to be the cause of the poor harvest and the resulting hunger in the region, but the latest FEWS NET report details just how sparse the season has been this year. The rainy period from April to June, known as the Gu, usually creates conditions for agriculture productivity in the arid region, but not this year. "Gu 2011 cereal production in southern Somalia is estimated at 37,600 [metric tons]," the report says. "This is the lowest Gu cereal production in the last 17 years and represents only 26 percent of the 1995–2010 post-war average." The report says poor irrigation infrastructure and high irrigation competition also helped to diminish harvest yields, along with crop pests and diseases. While Somalia's crop yields were poor this year, the herders had a better year. The report notes average pasture and water conditions, allowing Somalis practicing a pastoral livelihood to follow normal livestock migrations where herds can adequately graze. A combination of low incomes and high cereal prices has also put food farther out of reach for average Somalis. "Food prices are exorbitantly high for the majority of households," the report says. FEWS NET monitors about 30 famine-prone countries around the world. It collects data from diverse sources to constantly evaluate levels of food security and issue warnings in the event of dangerous food shortages. The drought is considered the region's worst in about 60 years. Food shortages are being experienced in neighboring countries beyond Somalia, and malnutrition is thought to be the worst in 20 years, touching an estimated 12.5 million people across the Horn of Africa, including Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti. It's been estimated that close to $2.5 billion will be needed to address the region's humanitarian crisis, but so far donors have pledged only about $1 billion. Nations of the African Union (AU) came together August 25 in a pledging conference, where additional commitments for $350 million were made. It was the first time the AU had attempted to organize its members for this type of appeal. While the needs of the moment are great, many are trying to look beyond the current crisis for longer-term solutions to Africa's food security. "We must ensure that we address the root causes and not simply throw money at it and wait for another emergency in a few years," said Jerry Rawlings, special representative of the AU for Somalia. The United States has pledged to contribute about $580 million for humanitarian relief in the Horn of Africa, and as Rawlings suggests, has developed a program called Feed the Future, which aspires to create greater food security in the region with better agricultural skills, techniques and infrastructure development.

Somaliland takes steps to attract oil companies August 27th, 2011 Breakaway state tries to surmount problems bringing in E&P business as it petitions UN for recognition/ SOMALILAND Minister for Foreign Affairs & International Co-operation Mohamed Omar this week convened a meeting with London investment bank Libertas to discuss how to attract oil companies back to the breakaway republic in the Horn of Africa. 26 August 2011 01:20 GMT Based in the capital Hargeisa, the government of Somaliland has pegged energy “as one of the core four planks of foreign policy and is looking to engage the African Union, European Union and United Nations Security Council to support and recognise its efforts. The difficulties encountered in the insurance sector by Somaliland as an unrecognised state in getting oil companies to pursue practical exploration and production programmes have to be addressed, Omar told Upstream. Whether Hargeisa and its neighbouring semi-autonomous Somali province of Puntland based in Garowe could suspend their territorial differences to aid joint pursuit of oil and gas explor-ation and production was another urgent question, as were issues of force majeure advanced by the majors over a decade ago when exploration was suspended, said Omar. Libertas, which acts as a nominated adviser for energy and natural resources-focused AIM-listed companies, this week launched a roadshow to attract investors to suitors already eyeing Somaliland oil and gas opportunities. The initial response to Libertas’ presentations was described by one financier directly involved in the process as “very positive” and a second round of meetings are scheduled to take place in London after 30 August. Omar noted that nearby South Sudan last month became the 54th member of the African Union after a six-year probation and 22 years of civil war. Hargeisa last month attended South Sudan’s independence celebrations in Juba and will formally seek recognition as a sovereign state in the United Nations Security Council — “but we have no intention of making trouble”, said Omar. •• IN ADDITION to Somali acreage licensed in Somaliland and neighbouring Puntland, the Ethiopian government has subdivided the Somali O'gaden (Region V) into 21 blocks, including the Calub (Jeexdin) and Hilala (Elele) gas fields. Following the exit of Petronas after Somali guerrillas the O'gaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) threatened the lives of operatives, Addis Ababa last month assigned title on several blocks to Hong Kong-based PetroTrans. Beating competition from the National Oil Company of Ethiopia, Cobramar of Seychelles and fellow Hong Kong explorer SouthWest Energy, which already operates in the region, PetroTrans plans to invest heavily in blocks 3, 4, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17 and 20. Petronas was poised to invest in a gas treatment plant and gas pipeline to the nearby port of Djibouti but PetroTrans aims to develop the gas fields in three years and build gas transport and processing infrastructure within that period — gas pipelines are planned to cross the O'gadendesert for export at the Somaliland port of Berbera.
