The United Nations allots $15 million to mitigate El Niño rains in Somalia.

In a proactive response to anticipated El Niño rains, the United Nations (UN) has earmarked $15 million to mitigate the potential consequences in Somalia, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

The recent OCHA report on humanitarian aid, published on Tuesday evening, highlights the significance of flood response funds being directed toward high-risk areas in the states of Hirshabelle and Jubaland. Historically susceptible to floods, these regions are expected to bear the highest burden of people at risk of riverine flooding.

A particularly concerning aspect is the potential impact of flash flooding in urban areas that host internally displaced individuals. OCHA reports that more than half of displacement settlements are located in low-lying flood-prone zones. As a result, a funding appeal has been launched to support additional life-saving interventions.

The rains are predicted to bring a positive outcome to the region as they are expected to enhance the availability of pasture and water. Moreover, increased access to dairy milk is projected, allowing families to partially meet their basic food needs. This anticipated improvement can be attributed to the forthcoming rains.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations reports that over 1.2 million people living in riverine areas are at high risk of flooding. Additionally, approximately 1.5 million hectares of land could be submerged if the rains materialize as expected.

To proactively address this impending challenge, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) underlines the close collaboration of humanitarian partners with national and sub-national authorities. Their joint efforts aim to reduce the severity of potential flooding during the Deyr (October–December) rainy season, expected as part of the El Niño phenomenon.

To streamline and coordinate responses effectively, emergency El Niño task groups have been established in the states of Hirshabelle, Jubaland, and the Southwest. These task groups bring together sub-national clusters, national authorities, and international humanitarian partners, working together to prepare for and respond to potential challenges posed by El Niño.

The proactive measures taken by the United Nations and its partners exemplify the commitment to safeguarding vulnerable communities in the face of natural disasters. As Somalia braces for the predicted El Niño rains, the allocation of funds and collaborative efforts demonstrate a resolute dedication to minimizing the impact of such environmental events and ensuring the safety and well-being of those at risk.

Tensions Escalate as Talks Resume Between Somaliland and Federal Government

In a region marked by historical complexities and territorial disputes, the recent resumption of talks between the federal government and the breakaway territory of Somaliland has sparked new tensions. The discussions, hosted by President Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti, aimed to navigate the delicate relationship between these entities. However, these talks faced strong opposition from President Said Abdullahi Deni of Puntland, a semi-autonomous region within Somalia's northern part. Denouncing the absence of Puntland in the discussions, Deni condemned the reopening of talks, highlighting the ongoing border disputes between Puntland and Somaliland as a significant point of contention. Since February, clashes between the Somaliland army and SSC-Khatumo forces have escalated, with both sides accusing each other of instigating fatal combat in Las Anod town. This protracted conflict has contributed to heightened tensions in the region and complicated the efforts toward resolution. Som...

Political Tensions Rise as Somali Leader Criticizes President's Visit to Ethiopia

In a recent turn of events, Abdirahman Abdishakur Warsame, the leader of the Wadajir political party and a member of parliament in Somalia, has voiced strong disapproval of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's decision to travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The president's planned visit is aimed at attending three crucial conferences, including the 37th African Union (AU) Summit, the International Government for Agricultural Development (IGAD), and the East Africa Community Leaders Conference. Warsame, however, described the president's choice as a mistake and criticized the government's handling of its diplomatic ties with Ethiopia. He asserted that if contacts with Ethiopia were not deemed necessary, the government should have minimized its engagement with the neighboring country. Warsame emphasized the need for the president to provide an explanation for attending the meetings in Addis Ababa, particularly considering what he referred to as Ethiopia's actions underminin...

SSC-Khaatumo Announces Independence from Puntland Amidst Regional Tensions

In a pivotal move, the Supreme Council of SSC-Khaatumo has declared the withdrawal of the recently established administration from the semi-autonomous state of Puntland in the northern region of Somalia. This decision, unveiled during a significant assembly held in Las Anod, marks a critical juncture in the region's political landscape. At the heart of this announcement lies the assertion that there is no eligible candidate from SSC-Khaatumo to contend for the vice presidency of Puntland, as proclaimed by the traditional Council.

Garad Jama Garad Ali, the preeminent traditional clan leader of Sool, Sanag, and Ain, emphasized the unity prevailing among the people of SSC-Khatumo. He underscored their collective aspiration to forge an administration distinct from both Somaliland and Puntland. This ...
