    Djibouti Bishop Happy That Mogadishu Cathedral Ruins Are Helping Somalis

    Djibouti bishop happy that Mogadishu cathedral ruins are helping Somalis NAIROBI, Kenya – Djibouti Bishop Giorgio Bertin, who oversees Catholics in neighboring Somalia, said he is happy that the ruins of Mogadishu’s only Catholic cathedral are housing hundreds of displaced Somalis. “In Mogadishu there are hundreds of camps for displaced people. The cathedral area is one of them,” the bishop said in an email interview. “I think that at least 300 could easily fit in, but I have no real figures.” The U.N. officially has declared a famine in parts of Somalia, including the internally displaced communities in Mogadishu, the Somali capital. More than 100,000 Somalis poured into the capital searching for food within a two-month period this summer. Somalia has had a civil war since 1991, and the famine-hit areas are plagued by a lack of security because of a weak central government and the presence of various political factions that control parts of the country. The instability and resulting violence severely limit the delivery of humanitarian assistance. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis have fled to Kenya. Bishop Bertin said the best solution would be to help the displaced people within Somalia, “but the problem is often that where they are either they are unsafe or we cannot reach them.” In 1989, Italian-born Bishop Pietro Salvatore Colombo of Mogadishu was killed at his cathedral. After the murder, the Vatican eliminated the post and now oversees Somalia through neighboring Djibouti. “The cathedral has not been used since Jan. 9, 1991, when it was ransacked” and set on fire, said Bishop Bertin.

    African Newspapers: the British Library Collection from Culture to History to Geopolitics

    African Newspapers: The British Library Collection From culture to history to geopolitics Quick Facts A unique database of 19th-century African newspapers offering all-new coverage Created in partnership with the British Library and its world-renowned curators An invaluable historical record for students and scholars in dozens of academic disciplines Overview African Newspapers: The British Library Collection features 64 newspapers from across the African continent, all published before 1900. Originally archived by the British Library—the national library of the United Kingdom and one of the largest and most respected libraries in the world—these rare historical documents are now available for the first time in a fully searchable online collection. From culture to history to geopolitics, the pages of these newspapers offer fresh research opportunities for students and scholars interested in topics related to Africa. An unmatched chronicle of African history Because Africa produced comparatively few newspapers in the 19th century, each page in this collection is significant, offering invaluable insight into the people, issues and events that shaped the continent. Through eyewitness reporting, editorials, letters, advertisements. obituaries and military reports, the newspapers in this one-of-a-kind collection chronicle African history and daily life as never before. Students and researchers will find news and analysis covering the European exploration of Africa, colonial exploitation, economics, Atlantic trade, the mapping of the continent, early moves towards self-governance, the growth of South Africa and much more. Created in partnership with the British Library The British Library’s incomparable collection of African newspapers is the result of the close and often controversial relationships between Great Britain and African nations during the period of colonial rule.

Only a small number of cases was confirmed in the beginning because only 11 tests were carried out due to the shortage of the diagnostic kits. There were no deaths reported at the beginning of the pandemic, but the public perception in Somaliland was that the virus was more widely present than the official figures indicated and was spreading. The government of Hargeisa implemented a full lockdown from April 2020 until July 2020. The lockdown largely affected government offices, public and private schools, universities, and business located in those areas. The government also ordered the closure of mosques and religious schools (madras). However, the government rescinded its decision to close mosques due to the opposition from religious leaders. Likewise, there was a strong pressure for allowing the continued use of khat (a local stimulant to be consumed in social groups) by local people. However, the government, in consultation with the local khat importers, banned the khat coming from Ethiopia although the Ethiopian airline flights to Hargeisa continued.
