Anyone who has ever used budget airlines know only too well how uncomfortable it can be: long queues, cramped seats and every tiny extra costs you. But at least they are never told to get out and help push their plane. That is exactly what happened to a group of passengers in China who were asked to get out and push after their plane broke down shortly after landing The Chinese Shandong airlines flight CRJ7 arrived safely at Zhengzhou from Guilin, but broke down before it could taxi to the passenger terminal. Airport staff were called out to help push, but they had to ask some of the 69 passengers on board to help because the plane would not budge. It took the group nearly two hours to shove the plane half a mile to a side lane. One of the airport workers said: 'Thank God it was only a 20-ton medium-sized aeroplane. If it were a big plane, it would have knocked us out.' The plane remained parked in the side lane on Friday night, waiting for technicians arriving on the next flight to fix the problem.

by Edna Adan Ismail A very distraught old woman came to Edna Adan Maternity Hospital in Hargeisa, Somaliland, appealing to us to help her transport to the hospital a woman who had given birth five days earlier and who still had the placenta inside her. Those of us at the hospital are not sure how this could be possible and we ask her again whether she means five hours. She is sure about the number of days, and quotes the day the woman had delivered which, indeed, was five days earlier. She also tells us that the woman may not be alive by the time we get to her. We prepared the ambulance, put in our emergency obstetric kit and set out towards the home at the opposite end of town from our hospital. We come to a hut with quite a few neighbors and onlookers standing around. Before we get to the patient, we could have been guided to the woman by the smell coming from inside the hut. We find a woman who has bled for several days, is very infected, febrile, dehydrated, has no recordable blood pressure and a weak, rapid pulse. We cannot understand how she could have survived this long in this condition. Answers to our questions would come later, but right now, we needed to get an IV line going, and once in, we put her in the ambulance and headed for the hospital where blood transfusions and medical care would be ready for her. We also brought along the baby. Once she picked up, we got the placenta out, started her on high doses of antibiotics and the woman miraculously recovered and went home a week later. Our burning question was why did they wait for five days before they looked for help when the placenta refused to come out after the baby was born? The unfortunate answers were: (1) We thought we would wait and hoped that it would come out later. (2) When it took too long to come out, her husband suggested that they try Somali Traditional methods to get the placenta out. (3) When this failed, they tried spiritual chants and prayers. (4) By the third day, they feared that if they report this to the hospitals, the old woman who had attended the delivery would be denounced to the government. (5) Finally, the woman became so ill that they feared they would not be able to afford the cost of the medicines she would need to treat her. Luckily, they got the courage to come to us and we were able to treat her free of charge, although we had our conditions for this free treatment: the woman who had attended the delivery would have to agree to spend five days at our hospital to be shown how to conduct a normal delivery and to know which conditions to refer immediately. To this, she agreed, and hopefully, this situation never will be repeated. This was just one example of what practicing midwifery in our part of the world entails. My theory is that women in Somaliland die because of ignorance on their part and on the part of those assisting them. Poverty is a strong factor that prevents women from seeking help because they convince themselves that they cannot afford the cost of modern medicine and would rather consult the local traditional healer who often causes more complications. Women Still Dying of Maternal Mortality In 1945, diplomats representing the countries of the world at the end of the Second World War gathered in New York and proposed the formation of a global health organization. In April 1948, the constitution of the World Health Organization was passed, with its first article stating, “Health is a fundamental Human Right.” Sixty years later, that noble declaration seems to have had little effect on the maternal mortality rate of women in the developing countries. The women continue to die of causes that have been eliminated in countries where efficient, safe and adequate health care have been made available for their women. As far as African women are concerned, we seem to have very few rights, particularly in the area of safe reproductive health care. We fare the worst compared to women in other continents. In my 48-year experience as a midwife, I see very little improvement in the conditions under which our women progress through their pregnancies and childbirth. It’s a situation that shocks me even more today when I witness the advances that have been made in medical care elsewhere during the past half-century. Why Africa Falls Behind What leads the women of our continent to their graves during pregnancy and childbirth? As I describe below, the reasons fall into six categories: nutrition, education, high fertility, female genital mutilation, improper care at delivery and inadequate health facilities. Nutrition: Sub-Saharan countries are affected by increasing degradation of the environment -- which we commonly call desertification -- due to frequent droughts, cutting down of trees, soil erosion and poverty. Superimposed on this are frequent wars and instability that cause displacement of peoples and which negatively affects the nutritional status of those living off the land. While little girls are the mothers of tomorrow, we all know that they are fed the leftovers from whatever the family is eating. If lucky, she occasionally gets a bone to nibble at. During her childhood, who thinks about the growth of the bones of these little girls? Does anyone worry that her growth may become stunted because of chronic malnutrition and anemia? That she might develop a contracted pelvis? What will happen when she gets married and her narrow pelvis cannot permit the passage of the babies she will be expected to bear and produce? How many women have access to a health facility that can perform a Caesarean section to save the lives of the baby and its mother before the labor becomes obstructed? Education: Quite often, when a family has to decide which of their children can be sent to school, it is often the girls who are left behind. We find that illiteracy affects the health and survival outcome of women. The lower their education level, the higher their risk of health problems, including those associated with their reproductive life. An illiterate woman is not able to seek her rights because she is not even aware that she has any rights at all. She considers herself “owned;” first by her family, then by her husband and later by his sons. High Fertility: Once the girl is married, immediate and frequent fertility is expected of her without taking into consideration whether or not her body can take care of the baby she will conceive. Our women, therefore, produce as many children as they can to ensure their place in their new home. In my work, I often witness women having baby number 9 or 10, and also some having baby number 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 and, once, baby number 21! FGM: As if all her other misfortunes were not enough in themselves, harmful traditional practices such as female genital mutilation (FGM) are performed on them and affect the health of women and children in many African countries, including mine. FGM affects and damages the perineum and the pelvic floor muscles of women and is a major cause of laceration of the perineum during childbirth, as well as damage to the urethra and rectum resulting in fistula formation. This is among the most tragic situations and has shocked me so much that I became the first Somali woman to publicly cry out against FGM in 1976, well before those who would like us to believe that they are fighting against a new enemy that they have discovered. Thirty years later, even though umpteen campaigns have been held and many have joined the struggle, millions of little girls continue to be cut, mutilated and affected. To show the extent of the problem, I developed a study at the Edna Adan Maternity Hospital on the status of women who come to our clinic and FGM. Regretfully, and contrary to anecdotal reports stating that there has been a decline in the practice, we discovered that 97 percent of the women attending our prenatal clinic have some form of FGM, and 98 percent of them have the most severe form of it. I am still working on the final results of this report, but it is clear that there has to be an FGM strategy that is different and more effective than that which has been used in the past. At The Time of Delivery. Women having babies who are at a time of their greatest need for skilled medical or midwifery assistance are often at the mercy of relatives or other individuals who have received no or insufficient training in the care of women during childbirth. The woman does not know nor seek proper medical care because she does not know that this is her right. Many women die of obstetrical mismanagement with her relatives blaming her misfortune on “evil spirits” or “the evil eye of other women who were jealous of her baby.” Health Facilities: The health facilities are so ill-equipped and poorly staffed that even if women get taken there, there is very little that can be done for them. More often than not, women arrive at these health facilities when their situation is too advanced and cannot be helped. How can infections be avoided when many health facilities have no water, gloves, disinfectants, sterilizers or dressings? C*****ng a Better Path Delegating women to a second-class status does not necessarily raise men to a first-class status. When when they do, they are denying their sisters, wives and daughters the education, decision-making and the possibility to rise to their fullest potential. In short, men lose when they prevent women from becoming full partners in all the challenges that life brings. The prevention of maternal mortality is the basic right of all women and must be made a priority in all developing countries. The urgency of the situation warrants vastly heightened attention. Otherwise, the pledges and statements of health as a human right will continue to be words printed on paper made from the wood of the trees that have been cut down -- and thus only contributing to more degradation of the environment, poverty and misery.

‘The British used to say that we were the Irish of Africa,” said Abdillahi M Duale, the foreign minister of Somaliland, a breakaway region that runs along Somalia’s north-western coast on the horn of Africa. With a population roughly equivalent to that of Ireland and a history teeming with struggles for independence, the British may have had a point. One difference, however, is that Somaliland, although autonomous, has yet to be recognised by the rest of the world. But if Duale and his government have their way, that could be about to change. In recent months, Duale has been on an international mission to forge ties and set out the case for the recognition of Somaliland. He has visited London, Paris and Washington, where he was treated to full diplomatic protection, a rarity for a representative of an entity that has not been recognised. Last week, he met a number of Irish academics and senior business people. ‘‘I want to build ties with Ireland and create links between our two countries,” he said. ‘‘There are a lot of parallels between Ireland and Somaliland. We have both had to overcome years of adversity and conflict and we have both achieved peace.” Somaliland, which has an abundance of oil resources, has already started to create business links with Ireland. The territory recently signed a deal with oil company Enex, and the resulting joint venture partnership, Enex Somaliland, has its holding company incorporated in Ireland. Duale now believes that there are opportunities for other link-ups between Somaliland and Ireland. ‘‘We are particularly interested in your educational model and the success of the Irish economy,” he said. Somaliland has been one of the success stories of African democracy. In 1991, as Somalia’s government disintegrated and the country spiralled into war, Somaliland, traditionally one of the poorest parts of Somalia, declared its independence. The area had previously been a British protectorate, while the rest of the Somalia was controlled by Italy. The former British area decided it wanted control of its own affairs, and went its separate way. Its leaders have since established a democracy so secure that the United States is considering backing Somaliland ahead of the more volatile Somalia. The territory has held three rounds of multi-party elections, demobilised thousands of young gunmen and moulded them into a functioning army. ‘‘We have a stable democracy. We have shown failed states in Africa that they too can achieve peace and democracy. We have three political parties and we have checks and balances on our political system. Our parliament is very nosey and that is a good thing,” said Duale. ‘‘We have a budget of just $55 million, but we have achieved a lot with it. We have built the institutions of state and we have developed infrastructure.” Somaliland has designed a political system that minimises clan rivalries by carving out a special role for clan elders, the traditional pillars of Somali society. The country is predominantly Muslim, but operates on a largely secular model. A big sticking point remains the refusal of the African Union formally to recognise Somaliland. Pending a change in that view, Duale will continue to create links with foreign countries, including Ireland, and to further his country’s cause. Source: The Post.IE, Sept 28, 2008

Waraabe gadooday oo Meherad ganacsi la wareegay Waraabe cadhaysan ayaa shalay la wareegay Dukaan ganacsi oo ku yaala magaalada Wajaale ee xuduudka Somaliland iyo Itoobiya. Sida uu sheegay Taliyaha Saldhiga Booliska ee Wajaale Axmed Cabdi Daahir oo xalay Ogaal la soo xidhiidhay, Dhurwaagani waxa uu meheradaa ganacsi qabsaday abaaro 9:00 subaxnimo ee shalay. Waxaanu intaa ku daray inay Boolis ahaan dusha ka ilaalinayaan,subaxnimada Axadda maanta ay doonayaan inay talaabo ka qaadaan. "Dushaanu ka ilaalinaynaa Dukaanka Waraabaha oo keliya ayaana ku jira oo Sonkorta Miisaya," ayuu yidhi Taliyuhu isaga oo kaftamaya. Sidoo kale Maxamed Goodaad oo ah mulkiilaha meheradaa uu Waraabuhu galay oo xalay Ogaal wax ka waydiiyay arrinta ayaa sheegay in Dhurwaaga oo ay eryanayeen dadweyne badan oo reer Wajaale ahi uu dukaanka nafta kula soo eertay, isla markaana aanu wax khasaare ah u geysan. "Walaal arrintu waxay u dhacday, Waraabuhu wuxuu ahaa mid ay muddo dadweynaha reer Wajaale magaalada dhinaceeda bari kasoo eryanayeen meheradana waxa uu usoo galay nabadgelyo ahaan. Meherada markaa waxa joogay wiil aanu walalo nahay, dabadeedna wuxuu is yidhi bal eeg waxa lagu qaylinayo, kadibna markii uu wiilku meherada ka baxay ayay Waraabaha albaabka ku kulmeen," ayuu yidhi mulkiilaha Dukaanka Waraabuhu galay, waxaanu intaa raaciyay oo uu yidhi; "Markiiba wuxuu si degdeg ah u galay Meherada, waananu kusoo qufulnay (xidhnay)sidiina wuu ugu jiraa. Markaa waxaanu doonaynaa in aanu caawa xilliyada dambe ka sii dayno meesha." Mar aanu sii waydiinay in Waraabuhu wax khasaare ah gaadhsiiyay Meherada iyo in kale, waxa uu ku jawaabay; "Wax khasaare ah u muu geysan meherada, waxaanu iska fadhiyaa dhinaca dambe ee Dukaanka." Mr Goodaad waxa uu sheegay in sababta ay Waraabaha ugu xidheen Meheradu ay la xidhiidho si uu uga nabadgalo dadweynaha markaa hore eryanayeen. Waxaanu tilmaamay inay dhacdadii ugu horeysay nooceeda ee soo marta dadweynaha reer Togwajaale.
