SOMALIA Food Security Update March 2009 Issued in Collaboration with FAO/Food Security Analysis Unit (FSAU)
SOMALIA Food Security Update March 2009 Issued in collaboration with FAO/Food Security Analysis Unit (FSAU) • The consensus Climate Outlook Forum (COF23) recently Figure 1. Current estimated food security convened in Mombasa, Kenya has forecast an increased conditions (January to March 2009) likelihood of below normal gu (April‐June) rainfall in parts of southern and central Somalia due to the presence of a La Niña, a phenomenon which is associated with drier‐than‐ normal conditions in Eastern Africa. • Due to poor deyr rains in late 2008 and a harsh Jilaal (January‐March) dry season, water sources in many areas, including the central regions, parts of Gedo, Hiran, and Juba, have dried up earlier than normal, leading to water shortages. A deepening of the water crisis can be expected through the onset of the gu rains in mid‐April. • A decline in remittance inflows has occurred during the last several months following the global recession and a subsequent increase in unemployment among the Somali diaspora in Europe and North America. This may contribute to a further deterioration in food security among urban populations. Source: FSAU and FEWS NET Seasonal calendar and critical events Source: FEWS NET Current food security situation Food security in most of south and central Somalia continues to be affected by the impact of poor deyr production in 2008/09, uncertain market conditions, civil insecurity, unstable income sources, hyperinflation, and exorbitant prices for food and other essential commodity. As a result, 3.2 million people, including about 700,000 urban dwellers, are highly or extremely food insecure (Figure 1). -
Gedo Region – Situation Analysis
Gedo Region – Situation Analysis Context Gedo Region, the second largest region in Somalia, lies on the Somalia borders with Ethiopia and Kenya, and shares borders with four Somali regions of Bay, Bakool and Middle Jubba and Lower Jubba. It has an estimated total population of 328,3781, with a 75/25 rural/urban divide.The region is home to 76,510 IDPs2. UNHCR estimates that 16,380 IDPs arrived in Luuq, 30,000 in Doloow, and approximately 18,000 in Belet Xaawo. Gedo has six administrative districts: Garbaharey, Baardheere (the capital), Ceel Waaq in the south and Belet Xaawo, Doloow, and Luuq in the north. Two major rivers run through the region, the Dawa and the Juba. The Dawa River runs along the border of Ethiopia into Somalia’s Gedo region. The Jubba River starts from Doloow, just north of Luuq district, and flows to Buur Dhuubo and Baardheere. The economy mostly depends on rearing livestock and farming, but also has strong inter-regional and international cross-border trade with Kenya and Ethiopia, to some extent. In the northern zone the pastoralists rear sheep, goats, camels and cows. The agro-pastoral zone extends from east to west below Guban. The riverine zone extends from east to west below West Golis and is mainly a farming area where crops such as sorghum are produced. The security and access situation in north Gedo, in particular to Luuq, has relatively improved for the United Nations and International NGOs. The area is controlled by the Somali National Army forces backed by Ethiopian forces. South Gedo is more insecure due to continued clashes and greater access for Al-Shabaab (AS) in the rural areas of Garbaharey, Buur Dhuubo and Baardheere. -

Whilst the factual finding the Strasbourg Court has made as a result of applying its own guidance is something to which the domestic tribunal must have regard, pursuant to section 2, it is not bound to reach the same finding.
