The IMB is a non-profit making organisation, established in 1981 to act as a focal point in the fight against all types of maritime crime and malpractice. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) in its resolution A 504 (XII) (5) and (9) adopted on 20 November 1981, has inter alia, urged governments, all interests and organization to co-operate and exchange information with each other and the IMB with a view to maintaining and developing a coordinated action in combating maritime fraud. This report is an analysis of world-wide reported incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships from 1 January to 30 September 2011. Outrage in the shipping industry at the alarming growth in piracy prompted the creation of the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre (PRC) in October 1992 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The key services of the

According to the 2016 Humanitarian Needs Overview, 14,745 people from Socotra are in need of some form of humanitarian assistance which is nearly 24% of Socotra’s population. A rapid needs assessment and implementation of the IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM)2 Area Assessments were conducted in order to identify priority needs and to inform the displacement situation. The Area Assessment can be found in Annex: Area Assessment.3 The rapid needs assessment the teams surveyed 97 key informants (21% female) from the two districts (Annex: Respondent Profiles). The following are the key findings: The top three identified needs were: 1) Shelter, Basic Supplies, and community structures; 2) Schools and Learning; 3) Safe Water, sanitation and hygiene.

  • Map 4 Arabia-Azania Compiled by D.T
    Map 4 Arabia-Azania Compiled by D.T. Potts, 1996 Introduction Despite the relative inaccessibility of southern Arabia to all but the most intrepid travelers in the pre-modern era, its historical geography has been studied intensively for over a century. Two giants of German scholarship have dominated this field, A. Sprenger in the nineteenth century, and H. von Wissmann in the twentieth. To be sure, other scholars have made significant contributions, but these two stand alone with respect to the intensity of their investigations into the southern Arabian toponyms preserved in the works of Strabo, Pliny and Ptolemy. Because of unsettled political conditions, travel in Yemen has often been dangerous, and more than one nineteenth-century explorer lost his life there. The hostility of the area has meant that the modern Arabic toponymy of southern Arabia has been only imperfectly known. Even so, through various sources such as Admiralty charts and E. Glaser’s unpublished notebooks, Sprenger and von Wissmann were able to posit numerous identifications without necessarily being able to verify them on the ground. In many cases it has been difficult to decide whether to accept such identifications or not, but I have attempted to separate the more tenuous proposals from those for which there seems to be sound justification. It should be understood that many of the probable locations marked have not been verified epigraphically. In recent years, however, several scholars, including von Wissmann (1968; 1976; 1977), Beeston (1979; 1995), al-Sheiba (1987), Robin (1995) and Sa'id (1995), have identified many southern Arabian toponyms mentioned in classical sources with those known in the thousands of southern Arabian inscriptions discovered in Yemen.
