OCHA Somalia - Humanitarian Access Update 01 to 31 July 2009 OCHA Somalia - Humanitarian Access Update 01 to 31 July 2009 MAIN ISSUES DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD The security situation throughout South/Central Somalia continued to deteriorate during the reporting period due to heavy fighting particularly in Mogadishu, resulting in significant displacement and civilian deaths. • Approximately 67,000 people were displaced in July throughout Somalia, out of which roughly 56,000 people were displaced due to insecurity in Mogadishu1. • The number of war-wounded was exceedingly high with 317 admitted to the main surgical hospitals in Mogadishu in July 20092, bringing the total number of war wounded admitted to these two facilities this year to 2942. The true scale of civilian loss is not known due to the lack of official records and the lack of access to key areas of conflict. KEY CONSTRAINTS ON ACCESS OCHA - Somalia and its partners monitor the following categories of access issues3: 1. Military operations and ongoing activities impeding humanitarian interventions The security situation in and around Mogadishu deteriorated significantly in May, and continued to do so into July 2009. For example: • 01 July, fighting between TFG forces and insurgents took place in Karaan and Yaaqshiid districts, Mogadishu, during which more than 50 people were killed and around 40 wounded. • 02 July, fighting between TFG forces and insurgents in the Shibis and Karaan districts, Mogadishu, resulted in 20 people killed and 41 wounded. • 11 July, fighting in the Abdul-Aziz district, Mogadishu, between TFG forces and insurgents resulted in the deaths of 24 people and 47 injuries. • 23 July, fighting including the use of artillery between TFG forces and insurgents in Wardhiigleey, Karaan, and Boondheere districts, Mogadishu killed more than 25 people and injured 60. It is difficult to provide a comprehensive picture on the impact of the ongoing hostilities on humanitarian response. Clearly, continued violence in Mogadishu hinders the implementation of programmes. There was however a positive development in the month: • 10 of the 16 sites where wet feeding is provided, which have been closed since 20 June, were re- opened on 29 July. This means that roughly 50,000, out of the planned 80,000, daily meals are currently available. 2. Impediments and restrictions to agencies • 03 July, the Al Shabaab administration in Garbahaarey district, Gedo region ordered all agencies working in the district to pay a monthly ‘security fee’ ranging between $200 and $1,000 depending on the capacity of the organization. In a follow-up action, on 05 July, that administration started collecting approximately $10 per humanitarian supply truck. • 05 July, the Al Shabaab administration in Gedo region, issued a decree that all humanitarian agencies in the region must be registered. 1 UNHCR sources. 2 Medina and Keysane Hospitals in Mogadishu, 01 – 28 August 2009. 3 The figures quoted are collected from various sources and represent OCHA’s most reliable estimates. However, under-reporting and validation of events are chronic challenges; therefore, these figures should be considered indicative.

The INGO did not agree with the contents of an Al Shabaab drafted Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). • 29 July, all LNGOs operating in Bay region, were summoned by the authorities and told that: (1) all NGOs have to report the details of their activities to them; (2) IDP camps cannot be visited without reason, and projects cannot be implemented without prior approval; (3) NGOs are required to pay a registration fee of $500 to $1,000 depending on project size. 3. Restrictions or delays in movement of goods The graph below aims to capture the impediments to freedom of movement as experienced by humanitarian workers in different regions4.

Incidents involving humanitarian workers and assets An aid worker was killed during the reporting period. Eight aid workers have been killed since the beginning of the year. • 21 July, a national organization’s staff was killed when the mini-bus he was traveling in came under shell fire in Dabka area Hodan district, Mogadishu. No abductions of humanitarian staff in Somalia occurred during the reporting period. However, three INGO staff were abducted outside Somalia and taken to Somalia in July raising the number of aid workers held in captivity to 19. Most of these aid workers have been in captivity since 2008. 4 For the purpose of OCHA’s access analysis and reporting the regions are grouped as follows: 1. North: Awdal, Togdheer, Sanaag, Sool, Wogooyi Galbeed; 2. North East: Bari, Nugaal; 3. Central: Mudug, Galgaduud, Hiraan; and 4. South: Bakool, Gedo, Bay, Lower Shabelle, Lower Juba, Middle Shabelle, and Middle Juba. 5 The Chart depicts the following notations (1-5): 1 = Check-points frequently prevent movement of humanitarian personnel and supplies; deadly incidents reported at check-points in the last three months; and/or contractors may refuse to move to the area because of high taxation or harassment at check-points; 2 = Check-points occasionally prevent movement of humanitarian personnel and supplies; 3 = Presence of check-points or administrative control-points in the district; and/or harassment and taxation usually reported but does not hinder movement of humanitarian personnel and supplies; 4 = Presence of check-points or administrative control-points in the district; harassment and taxation rarely reported; and/or no hindrance of movement; 5 = No check-points in the district or only administrative control-point with no harassment reported.

The kidnappers crossed back into Somalia with their hostages. Approximately 88 security incidents occurred in July. Out of these, six incidents directly targeting humanitarian workers and assets were reported. For example: • 02 - 04 July, the compounds of several INGO and LNGO in Mogadishu were raided and looted by insurgents. • 07 July, unidentified gunmen attacked the residence of a staff working with an INGO in Marka district town, Lower Shabelle region. The gunmen exchanged fire with security guards at the residence. One security guard was seriously injured, and the attackers managed to flee. • 07 July, a vehicle rented by a UN agency was carjacked in Baidoa, Bay region. The driver was unharmed, and the vehicle later recovered. • 20 July, Al-Shabaab forces entered the UN compound in Baidoa, Bay region, and ordered three UN agencies (UNDP, UNPOS, & UNDSS) to cease operations and leave the country. During the raids office equipment belonging to the three agencies was looted. Additionally nine vehicles, three of them armoured, were taken. As a result of UNDSS being forced to leave, UN humanitarian staff could not remain in the compound. Since 19 May, the UNICEF compound in Jowhar town, Middle Shabelle region is still occupied by Al Shabaab forces and remains inaccessible to UNICEF staff.

  • Article Monitoring Mogadishu
    Article Monitoring Mogadishu Alice Hills University of Leeds, UK [email protected] Abstract Technology-based surveillance practices have changed the modes of policing found in the global North but have yet to influence police–citizen engagement in Southern cities such as Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. Based on the role played by monitoring in Mogadishu’s formal security plan and in an informal neighbourhood watch scheme in Waberi district, this article uses a policy- oriented approach to generate insight into surveillance and policing in a fragile and seemingly dysfunctional environment. It shows that while watching is an integral aspect of everyday life, sophisticated technologies capable of digitally capturing real-time events play no part in crime reporting or in the monitoring of terrorist threats, and information is delivered by using basic and inclusive methods such as word of mouth, rather than by mobile telephones or social media. Indeed, the availability of technologies such as CCTV has actually resulted in the reproduction and reinforcement of older models of policing; even when the need to monitor security threats encourages residents to engage with the task of policing, their responses reflect local preferences and legacy issues dating from the 1970s and 2000s. In other words, policing practice has not been reconfigured. In Mogadishu, as in most of the world, the policing task is shaped as much by residents’ expectations as by the technologies available. Introduction It is often assumed that the use of technologies capable of monitoring or capturing real-time events enables people to become more engaged in surveillance and policing.

  • Key Overall Developments Famine Is Declared in Parts of Southern
    OCHA – Coordination Saves Lives Issue # 29 15‐22 July 2011 Key Overall Developments Famine is declared in parts of southern Somalia The drought situation in the southern regions has now deteriorated to famine in Lower Shabelle and the southern Bakool region. In the last few months, tens of thousands of people have died as a result of causes related to malnutrition; the majority of them are children. On 20 July, the Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, Mark Bowden, issued a press statement saying, “If we don’t act now, famine will spread to all other eight regions of southern Somalia within the next two month, due to poor harvests and infectious disease outbreak.” He also added that every day of delay in assistance is literally a matter of life and death for children and their families in the famine affected areas, calling for support for more resources of roughly US$300 million in the next two months. Across the country, 3.7 million people, nearly half the Somali population, are now in crisis. Of these, the majority, 2.8 million are in the eight southern regions. Famine is declared when acute malnutrition rates among children exceed 30 per cent, more than 2 people in 10,000 die per day and when people are not able to access food and other basic necessities. Displacement More people continue to be displaced from Bay, Bakool and the Shabelle regions due the drought and famine situation moving into Mogadishu and neighbouring countries of Kenya and Ethiopia. At least 100,000 have been registered in Kenya while 78,000 have been received in Ethiopia since the beginning of the year.
