Somalia Joins UN FAO Commission to Combat Desert Locust Infestation

In a significant stride towards combating the persistent threat of desert locusts, Somalia has ascended to a pivotal position as the seventeenth member of the Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in the Central Region under the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This milestone membership, marked on Wednesday, solidifies Somalia's commitment to manage and mitigate the devastating impact of locusts on agriculture and food security.

According to the FAO's assessments, Somalia has demonstrated remarkable advancements in constructing national institutional and technical capacities for locust management since 2020, with substantial assistance from the FAO and other partners. Shoki AlDobai, the team leader for FAO's Locusts and other Transboundary Plant Pests and Diseases, emphasized Somalia's significance as a critical breeding ground for locusts. AlDobai highlighted that Somalia's inclusion in the Commission would not only benefit the country but also strengthen monitoring and early warning systems across neighboring regions.

"This marked a significant milestone in the process of integrating Somalia into this regional coordination body," stated AlDobai, expressing pride in Somalia's inclusion.

Acknowledging Somalia's historical relevance in locust management, the FAO stressed the country's pivotal role in combating locusts in the Horn of Africa. The decision for Somalia to join the Commission is strategic, aimed at enhancing locust control operations in the region and fortifying collaborative efforts among member states.

Ahmed Madobe Nunow, Somalia's Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, affirmed the government's dedication to collaborating with fellow member states of the Commission to control desert locusts and mitigate their severe impacts on agriculture and food security. "Somalia is pleased to become a State Party to this important agreement," Madobe declared, underscoring the country's commitment to this initiative.

The Commission's strategy primarily focuses on preventive measures by swiftly detecting early signs of locust populations and providing rapid interventions to eradicate infestations before they inflict damage on crops. Through this collaborative approach, member states aim to bolster cooperation and coordination, ensuring a unified front against the perilous threat posed by desert locusts.

Somalia's membership in the Commission signifies a crucial step in strengthening regional efforts to combat desert locusts. With an unwavering commitment to collective action, Somalia joins hands with fellow member states to safeguard agricultural productivity and food security from the detrimental effects of locust infestations.

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...

SSC-Khaatumo Announces Independence from Puntland Amidst Regional Tensions
