  2. I would like to thank SnW and the Admins for their efforts in trying to assist those back home. It is very important that all nomads do what they can to help; whether small or large. I have spoken with the Admin as well about adding another option for nomads who do not have credit/charge cards, and was told they will create a Paypal account. This will allow nomads to donate via their checking accounts.

     

    May all those affected receive the assistance they need. Amin.

     

    Time is of the essence.

    Tsunami devastates Somali island

    Most buildings on the Somali island of Hafun were swept away by the deadly Indian Ocean tsunami, an emergency aid relief team has revealed.

     

    Roads washed away by the sea are hampering the delivery of food aid to some 4,500 islanders affected.

     

    Waves which swept 7,000km (4,000 miles) from the epicentre left a trail of smashed buildings and boats along the East African coast.

     

    More than 130 people in East Africa are known to have died in the floods.

     

    Cholera fear

     

    "Almost 95% of Hafun's buildings have been destroyed," the UN World Food Programme's Ali Issay - part of the first relief team to reach victims of the tsunami - told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.

  6. Excellent news indeed. A good sign.

     

    Rare ship docks at Somalia port

     

    A cargo ship has docked at the main port in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, for the first time in nearly a decade.

     

    _40638963_somali203ind2.jpg

     

    It was carrying thousands of tonnes of food, fuel and other goods from Dubai where many Somali traders are based.

     

    The port has been closed for years as local warlords have been locked in a power struggle to control it.

     

    If it is able to re-open fully, it could prove a powerful boost to the local economy, and to efforts to re-build the country.

     

    Potentially lucrative

     

    The first ship to arrive at Mogadishu's commercial port since UN peacekeepers left in 1995 docked only after gunmen opened fire in an unsuccessful attempt to stop it.

     

    The vessel, chartered by a Somali businessman, docked at the port which is a short distance from the centre of the capital, and is served by a reasonable road.

     

    In the absence of a central government and security forces, rival factions have been fighting for control of this potentially lucrative source of revenue.

     

    Since no one could agree who should run it, the port remained shut and became a symbol of the country's collapse into lawlessness.

     

    It is the same story with Mogadishu's main airport.

     

    Instead, businesses have been forced to bring goods into the capital using a beach an hour's drive away.

     

    Cargo has to be transferred to smaller boats before being brought ashore by hand. It is a time-consuming and expensive process.

     

    Such is the degree of insecurity that the beach at el-Ma'an has more than 1,000 gunmen defending it.

    That's an interesting note.

     

    I'd like to know if anyone has the details on the song that is played before interviews on HornAfrik. Such as this one.
