Without their valuable and timely support the mission would not have been so well informed, nor conducted so efficiently and effectively according to schedule. Our gratitude too goes to the many respondents (from the government authorities, the donor community, the United Nations system, NGOs and civil society) who afforded the time to participate in some very useful and informative discussions and contributed significantly to the findings of this evaluation. Particularly appreciated were the frank discussions that we held with both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of different ages and gender in the field, which gave us first-hand insights of how WFP interventions had made a difference to their lives. Our thanks also go to the Office of Evaluation (OE) in WFP Rome for their constant support throughout, and to the distinguished, independent panel of experts, Randolph Kent, Laura Hammond and Dan Maxwell, who critically reviewed the principal deliverables of the evaluation at key stages.

The project will scale up treatment and prevention of acute malnutrition among under-five children and pregnant lactating women who are the most vulnerable group for morbidity and mortalities related with acute malnutrition. The project is aiming to deploy five mobile nutrition units and it will cover 25 sites which do not have access to life saving nutrition services. The nutrition program includes Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP), targeted supplementary feeding programs (TSFP) and will support the referral of Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) children with medical complication to Qardho and Garow stabilization centers. The project also promotes optimal infant and young child feeding practices, including the provision of one to one counselling for mothers and caretakers with difficulties in adopting optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices.

    TSUNAMI EMERGENCY FOOD SECURITY ASSESSMENTS Overview of Preliminary Findings World Food Programme Rome, 9 February 2005 Full Reports Are Available on the WFP Website (www.wfp.org) Emergency Needs Assessment Branch (ODAN) Contacts: Wolfgang Herbinger, Chief; Alexis Hoskins, Programme Officer INTRODUCTION In response to the death, widespread displacement and massive devastation caused by the tsunami that struck on 26 December 2004, UNDAC missions were fielded and local investigations were conducted by the country teams, government officials and NGOs to identify the needs for relief assistance. Estimates on the number of displaced people, the number of affected population and the death toll were used to develop an initial planning figure of up to two million people requiring food aid in 5 countries for six months. This figure, based on the limited information collected under extremely difficult circumstances and with only limited access to the areas affected, was agreed with government officials as the basis for the regional EMOP. This was followed up within ten days by Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) missions to refine and update the numbers of people requiring food aid. The missions to Indonesia, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Myanmar and Somalia conducted field visits to the most affected areas to gather information on livelihoods, nutrition, the role of markets in enabling access to food, the need for special feeding programmes to prevent declines in nutritional status, and the possible longer-term role of food assistance in the

FEWSNET Somalia along with 103 partners, including regional authorities, UN and international agencies, and local and international NGOs participated and supported in this post Deyr 2010/11 assessment and analysis process. FSNAU presented these results in Nairobi Climate at a Somalia Support Secretariat Special Meeting on 28 January 2011 and issued a Press Release on the same day. The press release and presentation are available on the FSNAU website (www.fsnau.org). Markets Nutrition The findings of the FSNAU, FEWSNET and partner post Deyr 2010/11 seasonal KEY assessment indicate that the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance in FINDINGS Somalia has increased by 20 percent to 2.4 million.This represents 32 percent of Agriculture Somalia’s 7.5 million people. Failure of the Deyr seasonal rains linked to prevailing La Niña event affecting Somalia, caused a severe water crisis in most parts of the country with the exception of Livestock north-western regions. The dry conditions have also resulted in substantial crop harvest failure in the South and Central crop-producing regions. The resulting dramatic increases in the prices of water and local cereals are the main drivers of the deteriorating food security situation in Somalia.

    'The Defeat of the Infidels'

    ‘THE DEFEAT OF THE INFIDELS’: A POEM BY SAYYID MU˘AMMAD fiABD ALL◊H ˘ASAN OF SOMALIA MURSAL FARAH AFDUB AND LIDWIEN KAPTEIJNS Sayyid Mu˛ammad fiAbd Allh ˘asan (1856-1920) was a Somali religious leader who, for twenty-one years waged a holy war against the European and Ethiopian colonizers of Somalia. The Sayyid joined the ∑li˛iyya brotherhood in Mecca, and returned to Somalia to organize his own group of ‘dervishes’ to fight against the non-Muslim colonizers. He weathered four British expeditions (1901-1904), the civil war which followed British withdrawal to the northern Somali coast (1909-10), and the denouncement of his leadership by the founder of the ∑li˛iyya (1909). It was not until 1920 that British air power destroyed the Dervish movement. The Sayyid died the same year, probably of influenza. Somalis remember the Sayyid as the instigator of bloody internal war- fare, a brilliant but at times obscene and divisive poet and orator, the defender of their cultural and religious authenticity, and the visionary leader of their anti-colonial struggle for a Somali Islamic state. It is clear from his prose writings and poetry that he was all of the above. The following poems are gabays, the classical men’s genre of Somali oral literature, whose formal structure has been discussed elsewhere.1 Somali poetry follows strict rules of alliteration and in the gabay, as in other genres, each line 1 See for example, John W.
