  • Protection Cluster Update Weekly Report
    Protection Cluster Update Funded by: The People of Japan Weeklyhttp://www.shabelle.net/article.php?id=4297 Report 9 th September 2011 European Commission IASC Somalia •Objective Protection Monitoring Network (PMN) Humanitarian Aid This update provides information on the protection environment in Somalia, including apparent violations of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law as reported during the last two weeks through the IASC Somalia Protection Cluster monitoring systems. Incidents mentioned in this report are not exhaustive. They are intended to highlight credible reports in order to inform and prompt programming and advocacy initiatives by the humanitarian community and national authorities. General Overview Attempts to improve ties between the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the government of Puntland were initiated after both the TFG Prime Minister Sheikh Abdiweli Mohamed and the President, Sharif Sheikh Ahmed visited Garowe and met with Puntland government officials. Among other things, the two sides agreed to strengthen security cooperation, fight terrorism and promote and protect human rights in Puntland. However, it remains to be seen what effect the agreement may have on overarching protection concerns in Puntland with regards to ongoing clan conflicts, politically motivated killings, protection of IDPs and violations resulting from piracy-related crimes. 1 Despite the positive political developments, violence erupted in Gaalkacyo between the Puntland police and clan militias on 1 September and continued for three days. The violence resulted in a large number casualties and massive displacement within Gaalkacyo as many moved their families to safer areas. A report suggests that approximately 80% of the Gaalkacyo town population of 100,000 moved out to nearby villages.2 The split within Al Shabaab ranks which ultimately led to its general withdrawal from the capital Mogadishu continues to.

  • The Case of Marine Environmental Management in Somalia
    The Stability/Sustainability Dynamics: The Case of Marine Environmental Management in Somalia QASIM HERSI FARAH A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillments for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Environmental Studies York University Toronto, Ontario October 2016 QASIM HERSI FARAH, 2016 Abstract Since January 1991, Somalia has been a war-torn society without law and order machinery. After a decade of chaos, in January 2001, an interim government formed in Djibouti was brought to Mogadishu, albeit it failed to function. Two similar others followed; one in 2004 and the other in 2007. In 2012, a federal government was elected by 275 members of parliament, but it is yet to govern most of the country’s regions. Consequently, over 25 years, there has been sociopolitical and economic instability which jeopardised Somalia’s environment and security (land and marine). Now, who are the actors of socio-political and economic instability, and can marine sustainability be achieved in the absence of stability? This doctoral study identifies, defines, examines and analyzes each of the state and non- state actors/networks operating in Somalia, at the international, regional, national, provincial, and local levels. I investigated who are they and what are their backgrounds/origins? What are their objectives and strategies? What are their capacities and economic status? What are their motives and manoeuvres? and what are their internal and external relationships? I categorised each one of them based on these scales: instability, potential stability or stability. I adopted a multi-dimensional approach which aims at tackling both marine environmental degradation and insecurity in the Somali basin, while establishing a community-based policy as a milestone for the formulation of a national/provincial policy.
