Food Security Alert: Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia???

[Wisdom_Seeker]

Our Kenya and Ethiopia friends have their own humanitarian problems to deal with, yet the leaders from these countries are constantly working for the advantages of the Western Nations and the disadvantages of their own people. Needless to say the TFG hasn’t done a single thing to help these Somalis who are in dire need of aid. They have even denied humanitarian assistants to land on the Airport of Kismayo, so now it is being used by Ethiopian and possibly American army rather than Humanitarian workers. Bravo bravo too busy meeting with “Clan Leaders” while children, women, men and elders are dying of hunger and treatable diseases.

 

 

 

Highest Priority—Urgent Action Required

 

Emergency

 

Chad: Persistent conflict in the east has hampered humanitarian and market access, increasing the food insecurity of internally displaced populations. Despite excellent overall cereal production and indications of a good offseason harvest, production was poor in Kanem, Logone Occidentale and Moyen Chari last season.

 

Ethiopia: Food Security Bureau preliminary assessment results indicate that as many as 7.3 million chronically food insecure people will need cash or food assistance through the Productive Safety Net Program. Another 2.3 million people will require emergency food assistance.

 

Kenya: Flooding and an outbreak of Rift Valley Fever (RVF) have exacerbated already extreme levels of food insecurity in eastern pastoral areas. RVF has claimed about 100 lives, and restrictions to lessen the spread of the disease have crippled the livestock market.

 

Somalia: Increased conflict, closure of the Somalia/Kenya border and a likely spread of RVF are driving pastoral and agropastoral districts of Lower Juba into a deeper crisis. An immediate increase in emergency assistance is needed to help prevent the humanitarian crisis from worsening.

 

Urgent Action Required

 

Warning

 

Zimbabwe: Food access has become increasingly problematic in urban and rural parts of southern Zimbabwe. The pace of formal cereal imports is below last year's level, and there are concerns whether the country will be able to meet its targets this season (see back page).

 

Preparedness and Monitoring Required

 

Watch

 

Djibouti: Preliminary results of a national survey indicate child malnutrition levels have deteriorated since 2002 and remain high.

 

Mozambique: Rainfall deficits in central and southern regions necessitated replanting. Increased rainfall is needed within the next two weeks to prevent localized crop failure. Heavy rains in the north are increasing the risk of flooding along the Zambeze River and have damaged crops in other parts of the northern region (see back page).

 

Sudan (southern): Post-harvest food security improvements continue to sustain households in most of southern Sudan, but escalating insecurity, especially in Central Equatorial State, is reducing trade and labor opportunities. A recent meningitis outbreak in Warrap State threatens dry-season population and livestock movement.

 

Uganda: Civil security in the north has improved internally displaced persons' access to food and other productive resources, but the slow progress of the peace process continues to impede their return home.

Are you serious??? What on earth leads you to suspect that these hypocritical savages would care even the least for the interests and well-being of their brethren, when you know they are rushing to seize any opportunity that achieves otherwise? Fyi, these are the very people who've pridefully invited their country's longtime enemy and cheerfully made them their occupiers and masters, and worse yet, they are the ones who continually serve their brethren on silver platters to their masters so they could be but butchered.

 

One has to have a sense of humanity, dignity, accountability etc. (all of which these hypocrites are sadly deprived) before they can realize their obligations and duties to other human beings. In the current situation, communicable diseases and hunger iska daayee hortoodoo xabashidu Somalida ku leynayaan ayeeynan dan ka galeyn.

I agree with you on the traitorous conducts of the TFG. They haven’t shown an inch of apprehension for the people of Somalia or for the nation. Inviting Ethiopia Occupying Troops and letting American planes bomb Somalia further into the stone ages is in all probability what the TFG is programmed to do. They have succeeded thus far. Now their next move is probably to watch the Somalis die of starvation and treatable disease. Or sell the country as a whole. These men are conscienceless. There isn’t a single amount of courage, patriotism or even self-worth in them. They managed to throw their reputation down the drain, now they are participating on completely ravaging the proud Somali reputation. Insha’allah we will one day see true leaders, whether it be tomorrow or twenty years from today, we will have leaders who are profoundly engaged on the interest of the Somalia nation and people. And we shouldn't forget about the people who are sufferring becuase of this war.
