The International Labor Organization also provides group in the nation uses child soldiers. According to Ali skills and livelihood training. The he Somali president, Sheikh Yassin, vice-chairman of Somalia’s Elman Peace prime minister, and minister of defense committed this year Centre, about 20 percent of government troops and 80 to ratifying the Convention, but they have yet to take any percent of rebel troops are children. The U.S funds most concrete steps towards ratification. of the TFG's military operations; despite that fact that it was revealed that the Somali government, just like the rebels, uses children as foot soldiers, funding continues to flow in. The U.S and Somalia are the only countries that have refused to ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which prohibits the use of child soldiers. Children in Somalia The UN carried out research in June 2009 which confirms that the recruitment of children has become systematic and widespread, and there appears to have been a major increase in recruitment since January 2011. Al-Shabab recruits through luring children to join them by promising phones and money, ideological indoctrination in mosques, using children previously recruited as recruitment agents to more aggressive techniques such as threats to children and their relatives, raids on schools, and abductions. The insurgent group Hizbul Islam reportedly has 30 persons dedicated to recruiting children, and the group is estimated to have around 500 active child soldiers. Al-Shabab recruitment of children has been especially intense in Mogadishu, Brava, Kismayo, Baidoa, the Sakow district in the Middle Juba region and the Gedo region. Al-Shabab is reportedly training children in how to use firearms and handle grenades and improvised explosive devices in Bay, Bakool, Galgaduud, Hiran, Mogadishu, and Raskiambooni. In 2009 alone, al-Shabab reportedly recruited 600 children. Every six months, 270 boys around the age of 12 “graduate” from the training camp at Raskiambooni to operational units..

Middle Juba falls on the south west of Somalia, The region border lower Juba, Gedo, Bay and lower Shabelle. The region consists of four districts namely: 1. Bu'aale (The regional Capital) 2. Jilib 3.

The main crops are 'Maize, cowpea, and Sesame which are planted both 'Gu and Deyr' seasons these region also famous in livestock rearing especially cattle and shoats, but due to prolonged dry spells and intense conflicts, the economical situation of these communities has drastically deteriorated. Consequently many shocks such as, the ban of livestock in Garissa market and the recurrent closure of Kenya Somalia border (Which is the main market route) has grounded their hopes. Therefore Middle Juba has the largest farmland on both side of Juba River .those community living for that area most of them they produce a different products from local farmer, most of riverbank area living a Somalia Bantus, those communities is a backbone of Middle/lower Juba , because they are low cheap price of labour , example if you want a build Somali house , the one who is building is one of Somalia Bantus, Wilding ,Machining, etc .

  • Somalia Food Security Outlook, April to September 2015
    SOMALIA Food Security Outlook April to September 2015 Food security to deteriorate in the South due to intensified conflict KEY MESSAGES Current food security outcomes, April 2015 In agropastoral areas in the South that had a very limited January/February Deyr harvest, food security will remain at or deteriorate to Crisis (IPC Phase 3) during the April to June lean season. In parts of Bakool and Hiraan, the poorest households will move into Emergency (IPC Phase 4) due to more limited trade, which decreases economic activity. In the North, food security is likely to improve through September as a result of increased livestock production and increased livestock prices due demand for Ramadan in June/July and the Hajj in late September. With average to below-average rainfall forecast for this season, pasture and water availability will increase, supporting recovery of livestock body conditions from a warmer and longer than usual January to March Jilaal dry season. In the riverine livelihood zones in Middle and Lower Juba, food security will deteriorate between now and June as a result of reduced cereal availability from the well below-average off-season harvest in March Source: FEWS NET and reduced agricultural labor income due to likely river flooding in April/May that will reduce demand for labor for land preparation, This map represents acute food insecurity outcomes relevant for emergency decision-making.
