Maxay Madaxbannaanida Koonfurta Yemen muhiim ugu tahay Nabad dhab ah?

By
  Doodaha ku saabsan mustaqbalka Yemen waxaa inta badan lagu soo koobaa xabbad-joojin, dawlado kumeel-gaar ah, ama qaabab awood-qaybsi oo dibadda laga soo hindisay. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxaa jira hal arrin oo mar walba la dhinac maro inkasta oo ay udub-dhexaad u tahay muddada uu dagaalku siday: waa maqaamka siyaasadeed ee aan weli la xallin ee Koonfurta Yemen. Taariikhda iyo Midowgii Fashilmay Koonfurta Yemen waxay ahayd dawlad madaxbannaan oo caalamku aqoonsan yahay ilaa sannadkii 1990-kii, waxaana loo yaqaannay Jamhuuriyadda Dimuqraadiga Shacbiga ee Yemen (PDRY). Waxay lahayd xuduudo go’an, hay’ado dawladeed, iyo xubinimo Qaramada Midoobay ah. Heshiiskii midowga ee lala galay Waqooyiga Yemen waxaa loo soo bandhigay inuu yahay iskaashi dhex maray laba dhinac oo siman oo si mutaddawacnimo ah isugu biiray. Laakiin xaqiiqadii, midowgaas si dhakhso ah ayuu u burburay, wuxuuna horseeday dagaalkii 1994-tii iyo in si nidaamsan loo gacan-bidheeyo dhinaca siyaasadda iyo dhaqaalaha ee da...

WFP's Carl Skau Stresses Critical Humanitarian Aid Needs in Somalia After Major Climate Disasters

By

Carl Skau, the Deputy Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP), has underscored the pressing need for sustained humanitarian assistance in Somalia after a recent visit highlighted severe food insecurity and ongoing climate challenges.

Devastating Impact in Baidoa

During his mission, Skau visited Baidoa, an area hard-hit by extreme climate events. The region faced a prolonged drought from 2020 to 2023, followed by severe flooding in November 2023. These floods, among the worst in decades, affected two million people and displaced 750,000.

"Families in Baidoa are struggling due to relentless climate shocks and conflict, which have forced them from their homes and left them without essential needs like nutritious food and education," Skau stated. "The resilience shown by the Somali people is incredible. It’s crucial that the government, the UN, and partners prioritize support for the most vulnerable and ensure timely aid delivery."

Humanitarian Efforts and Ongoing Challenges

Thanks to a major humanitarian intervention led by WFP and international partners, Somalia narrowly avoided a famine in 2022. However, approximately 3.4 million Somalis still face severe hunger (IPC3), despite some improvement in food security due to increased rainfall this year.

"Our collaborative efforts with the Government and partners have been significant, but we must not become complacent. WFP remains committed to supporting the most vulnerable. Ensuring humanitarian access and staff safety is vital," Skau emphasized.

Building Resilience for the Future

Even though this year's milder rains have reduced flood risks, the effects of past disasters continue to impact communities. Predictions indicate ongoing dry conditions with below-average rainfall for the upcoming season, which will exacerbate existing difficulties.

"Somalia is at a critical juncture. We must not only provide immediate food assistance but also address the underlying causes of hunger and help communities adapt to recurring climate shocks," Skau noted.

In 2023, WFP's resilience-building initiatives in Somalia included aiding 315,000 people with climate-smart food systems, livelihood support, preparedness, recovery, and water resource management. The WFP's Anticipatory Action Plan also issued early warning messages to 1.9 million people and provided $1 million in cash transfers to 80,000 individuals at risk of floods in 2024. WFP collaborates closely with the Somali Disaster Management Agency to monitor and activate early warning systems during the rainy seasons.

"Despite our limited resources, now is the time to invest in resilience and climate adaptation to mitigate the impacts of future shocks. WFP is ramping up efforts to build more resilient communities," Skau asserted.

Strategic Discussions for Sustainable Development

During his visit, Skau held meetings with the Somali Deputy Prime Minister and key Ministries, including Agriculture, Energy and Water Resources, Environment and Climate Change, and Livestock, as well as international development partners. These discussions centered on enhancing food systems, strengthening social protection, and adopting new technologies for sustainable development, all dependent on maintaining unobstructed access to affected populations.

Somali Parliamentarians Decry Port Deal Between Ethiopia and Somaliland

By
Nairobi, Kenya: Tensions flared Thursday as Somali parliamentarians in Kenya, along with prominent Somali leaders, vehemently condemned the recent port deal struck between Ethiopia and the breakaway region of Somaliland. The agreement, signed by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi, granting Ethiopia access to the Red Sea through Somaliland's Berbera port, was deemed a brazen affront to Somalia's territorial integrity. Dr. Aden Keynan, a Somali lawmaker, described the deal as a blatant violation of Somalia's sovereignty. He, along with other concerned voices, urged the international community to act swiftly if Ethiopia refuses to retract the agreement. Calls for intervention were directed towards the United Nations, the African Union, and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). The agreement further ignited anxieties across the region, considering the historical animosity between Somalia and Ethiopia. One Kenyan MP war...

Tensions Escalate as Talks Resume Between Somaliland and Federal Government

By
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...
