Drought solutions: Do deals with rebels UN refugee agency; 'Children are dying ... their mothers reduced to walking skeletons' By MIKE PFLANZ and ZOE FLOOD, The Daily Telegraph July 11, 2011 International aid agencies should make deals with Islamists linked to al-Qaida to deliver aid to starving millions in Somalia, the head of the UN's refugee agency has said. The "absolutely appalling" suffering in Somalia meant talks must be opened with those involved to bring food to those who need it, says Antonio Guterres, the UN's high commissioner for refugees (UNHCR). The drought has left as many as 12 million east Africans in need of urgent help, and is believed to have hit Somalia the hardest. The UN'S refugee agency has issued an "urgent appeal" for $136.3 million for Somali refugees in neighbouring Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti. The UNHCR said the funds are needed "to address the life-saving needs of up to 90,000 new arrivals in Ethiopia as well as ongoing arrivals in Djibouti and Kenya until the end of the year." "Refugee children are dying and their mothers, reduced to walking skeletons, face the unbearable choice of which child to save first," said Guterres in an emailed statement. Thousands are streaming towards the war-ravaged capital, Mogadishu, despite ongoing fighting between the government and the al-Shabaab group. The insurgents, linked to al-Qaida, control almost all of Somalia's centre and south and have refused to allow foreigners to work in their territory. However, last week al-Shabaab's spokesman said that they would be willing to allow in the aid agencies. There are concerns, however, that trucking food and water into areas held by rebels would allow them to take control of handouts. "The UN mission in Somalia is dealing with that, and trying to find a clear answer to the conditions that are necessary for assistance to be delivered in the areas controlled by the group," Guterres told the BBC. "We have been insisting that we should do everything at the level of international community with all the actors involved in the conflict, to make it possible to deliver massive humanitarian assistance inside Somalia." Several agencies have appealed for food, water, medicines and shelter. The UN already has people on the ground in areas where the Islamists work, and was looking at how to expand their operations. "Our staff are in touch with al-Shabaab at a local level, we now need to see what assurances and security guarantees they can give," Mark Bowden, the UN's humanitarian coordinator for Somalia said. Alex Vines, head of the Africa Programme at the London think tank Chatham House, said the chance to use aid to open a working relationship with al-Shabaab outweighed the risk of some shipments going missing.

Eritrean players go missing in Tanzania DAR ES SALAAM, July 12, 2011 (Reuters) - Thirteen members of an Eritrean club taking part in a regional championship in Tanzania have disappeared after the side was knocked out of the tournament, a Tanzanian soccer official said on Tuesday. The Red Sea FC players were due to leave the country on Saturday after their elimination from the Cecafa club championship at the semi-final stage but a head count at their departure point revealed that half the squad were missing. "Thirteen out of 26 players of the Eritrean team have disappeared," secretary general of the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) Angetile Osiah told Reuters. "We have reported the matter to relevant law enforcement authorities for investigation. "Some team members colluded in the incident by trying to stamp the passports of the missing players at airport immigration checkpoints but when a physical head count was conducted, it was discovered that 13 players were missing." Illegal immigrants from Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia often use the east African country as a transit point to South Africa and elsewhere. It is not the first time members of an Eritrean team have vanished after a tournament outside the country. In 2009, 12 members of the national squad disappeared in Kenya after competing in a regional tournament. Source: Reuters Copyright © 2011 WardheerNews.com

Lol@national army. Delusions of grandeur!!

So the Captain wants to move SL's militia base from western Erigavo into Shimbiraale, a village that falls under the El-afwayn district Map. What is the chief motive behind this relocation yaa Xaaji. The whole thing sounds funny.

"Even by going by the flawy analogy of the form and substance , one'd be hadrly pressed to account for 20+ years of repetitive attempts of breaking away, given that one is inclined to have developed a child's respect for reality , as it were, instead of rejoicing the very bleeding of the very entity that one belongs to ,namely Somalia, which really speaking happens to be your own country." Well said Johnny B.

Somalina، انا احب ا لصو ما ل لانها وظن ^ That's one line I learned from once-up-on a time Arabic class.

I think the days of the domination of the airwaves through radio broadcasting services are long gone. And such articles only dispense undue credits and undeserving attention to the Somali Service of BBC. Clayton's new idea on how radical new technologies are destroying established names, services or businesses. Is very relevant in this case. The coordination of social media, the internet and local radios can overcome any constraints being placed on one community or nation and their political rights by self-interested foreign influence.

Lol@Oodweyne. You really should worry about the commercially powerful Islamists in Burco and the Ethiopian regime, for they are both building schools in "Somaliland" to swerve the course of Somali history and to create the philosophy on which to govern future Somalia. Getting back to the real history and what we had prior to our societal disintegration ensures the restoration of our freedom and sovereignty.

Hopefully, the political relationship in light of the historical ties btw Makhar region and the United Kingdom can be improved. It takes good local leadership.

Good stuff. I listened to the 1st and the 2nd ones. xiinfaniin, Please do write a concise summary of each lecture just so to spark the interest of the young members and general readers of SOL.

Somalia: Puntland Condemns Provocative Incident at Laasqoray 10 Jul 10, 2011 - 2:30:44 PM PRESS RELEASE| On 9 July, Puntland security forces at Las Korey coast fired warning shots on unidentified foreign soldiers who landed on the coast using small boats and an amphibious Armed Personnel Carrier (APC). The foreign soldiers withdrew to the sea without firing back. Puntland Government sources later revealed the foreign soldiers had disembarked from a British Royal Navy warship and were accompanied by Somaliland military officers, including a man identified as Berbera-based Somaliland Coastguard commander Admiral Ahmed Aw Osman. British naval personnel landed on the Las Korey coast without the permission of Puntland Government. It has since been revealed that the British naval warship was misled by Somaliland authorities, who provided false information that Las Korey town is controlled by Somaliland forces. The incident created high tensions inside Las Korey town, as Puntland security forces fired warning shots. The Government of Puntland strongly condemns the actions of Somaliland authorities that potentially compromise the peace and stability of northern Somalia. This act of foreign public opinion manipulation is unacceptable for good neighborly relations and mutual coexistence to strengthen regional security and stability. Furthermore, the Puntland Government welcomes the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the British Royal Navy’s immediate and direct communication with Puntland officials to clarify this regrettable misunderstanding. Finally, the Government of Puntland calls on Somaliland authorities to respect neighborly relations and to refrain from similar actions in the future, as Somaliland has previously attacked Puntland regions. --- END --- Communications Office The Puntland Presidency Puntland State of Somalia E-mail: info@puntland-gov.net Web: www.puntland-gov.net

BRITISH NAVY IN DANGEROUS ACTION OFF NORTHERN COAST OF SOMALIA Written by ECOP-marine Monday, 11 July 2011 10:42 AFRICA 11 July 2011. British Royal Navy warship entangled in domestic affairs skirmish. A British warship allegedly having the commander of the Somaliland navy and some of his soldiers on board attracted on Saturday serious military fire when it came close to the shore off Laasqoray, the coastal town of **********land at the Somali shores of the Gulf of Aden. From the foreign warship reportedly one amphibious vessel and two commando boats were launched with the intent to land on the beach. Local officials, observers and media reported the incident as an unprecedented provocation and attack on the sovereignty of Somalia and specifically of the ********** territory. Reports indicated earlier last week that a British warship had come to Somaliland’s port city of Berbera where President Ahmed Silanyo reportedly met British officials on board the vessel. The ship is believed to be a patrol ship that is part of the western-led anti-piracy initiatives along the coasts of Somalia. While neither EU NAVFOR nor the British navy reported the incident, security forces of Somalia’s breakaway region of Puntland confirmed that they had fired towards a British warship near the coast. The political background is the long-standing fight between the former British colony of Somaliland in the Northwest of Somalia, which today prefers to be an independent, though internationally not recognized breakaway republic and Puntland, the federal regional state of Somalia, located to the north-east. Between these two blocks, the land of the ********** and further south the Dulbahante homeland form a buffer zone, which regularly sees skirmishes over the control for these areas, which also contain oil- and other mineral concessions, being fought over between the two blocks. Somaliland and Puntland are engaged in this long-standing border dispute particularly along the borders of the Sool, Sanaag and Ceyn regions located in the central north of Somalia since 1992. The latest incident now involved a British naval vessel on a mission with an obviously pro-Somaliland agenda which was countered by forces loyal to the Puntland government as well as by those of the local ********** governance. The provincial commissioner of Sanaag region, Mohamud Dabayl said the war ship sailed towards Laasqoray, a strategic port town in the North of Somalia which is part of a territory disputed by the Puntland and Somaliland authorities. "The ship appeared to have been misdirected and its captain may have been told that Laasqoray would be part of Somaliland. It was sailing towards Laasqoray” Dabayl told the local media in Bosaso. He said Puntland authorities fired warning shots after it emerged that the warship entered their territory without prior notification, an issue regional officials said is a violation of territorial sovereignty and international law. “Our security forces fired warning shots towards the ship because it was sailing through the coast of Puntland. The warning was to tell the crew that they were not in the territorial waters of Somaliland” he added. According to the local Hiraan media, the regional commissioner said Puntland security personnel had arrested one person from the ship who was waving the flag of the self declared republic of Somaliland at the time when the warning shots were fired. Local observers reported that though heavier weapons including RPGs and also small arms fire were directed against the British naval contingent and three of the Somaliland soldiers, who had landed from the British ship on the beach, were arrested, nobody got hurt.

^Real Africans, the darker the skin the stronger the roots. Somalina, Thanks for the pics. Keep it up..

Reminds me of this: The Governor of Sanaag & NATO officials off the coast of Laasqoray.

Lol@the return of the Queen

Puntland forced fired warning shots at British warship off the long Sanaag coast of Somalia

^waa dadaaleynaa Inshallah.

Jiroow, The UK government has always sided with the Northwestern Secessionists in hopes of reviving its nostalgic colonial relationship. Even the UN has at one time lodged complaint against this lopsided position as factors engendering a hostile environment & posture on the side of the Northeastern Unionists, that means the main inhabitants of Sanaag & Sool regions of Somalia.

Mr. London probably watched the Hollywood movie "Darfur" which does nothing but portray Arabs as deeply racist society and blood-hound nomadic militias unleashed to wipe out blacks off Sudan.(blackMuslims to be exact ).

I would agree with the Northerners, for I've Northern roots , that the mafia-style culture inherited from Italy's once fascist regime permeates deep into blood veins of most Southerners. The North are far ahead of the rest of Somalia in terms of administration, integrity and creative. Hire a Southerner if interested in a shrewd political organizer who is manipulative and corrupt.
