From October until December 2009, a total of 36 nutrition surveys were conducted, 80 health centres visited and nearly 5,300 children measured in rapid urban assessments. Without the support and expertise of 18 local NGOs, 10 International NGOs, 2 Local Authorities and 3 UN agencies, this would not have been possible. A sincere note of appreciation also goes to the FSNAU nutrition team based in Somalia and Nairobi who work under such difficult conditions yet continue to produce such high quality professional work.

The publication complements the FSNAU biannual seasonal technical series reports and provides specific focus on nutrition information for the last 6 months. The FSNAU Post Deyr ’09/10 Technical Series report will be released in the coming weeks and provides a detailed analysis by region and by sector, of the integrated food security situation. FSNAU Technical Series Report No VI. 25 vii Issued February 22 2010 FSNAU Technical Series Report No VI. 30 viii Issued February 22 2010 1. Executive Summary An integrated analysis of the nutrition information from July to December 2009 indicates a varied yet alarming situation throughout the country (Map 1). Civil insecurity in Mogadishu, Juba, Hiran and Central regions of Somalia leading to on-going population displacement, the persistent and severe drought conditions in Central and Hiran regions1, and parts of the northwest region and the continuing elevated commodity prices, remain the key driving factors in the current analysis. Major contributing factors to the chronic nutrition crisis are the high disease burden, exacerbated by limited access to health services, safe water and sanitation facilities, and sub optimal infant and young child feeding practices.

  • Party Somaliland:Peace-Building
    PARTY SOMALILAND:PEACE-BUILDING 1 SECESSION AND CESSATION On 26 June 1960, Somaliland obtained independence from Britain. Six days later, on 1 July, under the premiership of Mohamed Ibrahim Egal, Somaliland united with the former Italian Somalia to form the sovereign Somali Republic. In May 1991, following the overthrow of Siad Barre, the Somali National Movement (SNM) declared the secession of the northern regions to form the independent 'Republic of Somaliland', the territory of which corresponds to that of the former British Somaliland Protectorate. In May 1993, Mohamed Ibrahim Egal was elected President of Somaliland. The people of Somaliland are of the Issaq, Gadabursi and Ciise (Dir), and Dolbahunte and Warsengeli clan-families. The latter two belong to the Darod confederation of clans. The Issaq, which formed the backbone of the SNM, are the most populous clan in Somaliland. The declaration of Somaliland secession went against the previously stated pohcies of the SNM, who had insisted that they sought only to change the Barre regime. The decision to declare independence at the Grand Shir ('gathering') of northern clans in Burco, in May 1991, resulted from a popular expression of opposition to further rule from Mogadishu. This was an understandable reaction to the suffering inflicted on the Issaq people by the Barre regime during three years of war, and to the manner in which Ali Mahadi's USC assumed power in Mogadishu. Reinforcing this decision may have been a realisation that the original goal which led Somaliland into unity with the south was no longer tenable. The decision in 1960 to unite with Somalia was driven by nationalistic aspirations to join all the five Somali territories into a Greater Somalia.

  • Protection Cluster Update Weekly Report
    Protection Cluster Update Funded by: The People of Japan Weeklyhttp://www.shabelle.net/article.php?id=4297 Report 4 th November 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 Increased violence and insecurity coupled with heavy rains during the past two weeks, increased vulnerability of civilians, particularly in Southern regions of Somalia. The Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and other foreign forces, including Kenyan, French and American,1 intensified their offensive against Al Shabaab in southern regions of Somalia. The increased military operations in Lower Juba, Banadir and Lower Shabelle regions continues to put civilians at risk of violations of international humanitarian and human rights law, while creating multiple displacements and further complicating humanitarian operations.2 Following the warnings of retaliation attacks by Al Shabaab against Kenya, air strikes3 landed on the towns of Baadhedee, Kismaayo and Jilib4. In addition, on 27 October, heavy fighting erupted between AMISOM/TFG forces and Al Shabaab in the Dayniile district of Banadir region. While the air strikes in Lower Juba resulted in at least 55 civilian casualties and engendered displacements within Lower Juba, the fighting in Dayniile district resulted in a number of deaths and forced over 2,000 IDPs to flee Afgooye corridor and move to other regions or return to their original homes.

  • 'The Evils of Locust Bait': Popular Nationalism During the 1945 Anti-Locust Control Rebellion in Colonial Somaliland
    ‘THE EVILS OF LOCUST BAIT’: POPULAR NATIONALISM DURING THE 1945 ANTI-LOCUST CONTROL REBELLION IN COLONIAL SOMALILAND I Since the 1960s, students of working-class politics, women’s his- tory, slave resistance, peasant revolts and subaltern nationalism have produced a rich and global historiography on the politics of popular classes. Except for two case studies, popular politics have so far been ignored in Somali studies, yet anti-colonial nationalism was predominantly popular from the beginning of colonial rule in 1884, when Great Britain conquered the northern Somali coun- try, the Somaliland Protectorate (see Map).1 The British justified colonial conquest as an educational enterprise because the Somalis, as Major F. M. Hunt stated, were ‘wild’, ‘violent’, ‘uncivilised’, without any institutions or government; hence the occupation of the country was necessary to begin the task of ‘educating the Somal in self-government’.2 The Somalis never accepted Britain’s self-proclaimed mission. From 1900 to 1920, Sayyid Muhammad Abdulla Hassan organized a popular rural- based anti-colonial movement.3 From 1920 to 1939, various anti- colonial resistance acts were carried out in both the rural and urban areas, such as the 1922 tax revolt in Hargeysa and Burao, 1 This article is based mainly on original colonial sources and Somali poetry. The key documents are district weekly reports sent to the secretary to the government, and then submitted to the Colonial Office. These are the ‘Anti-Locust Campaign’ reports, and I include the reference numbers and the dates. I also use administrative reports, and yearly Colonial Office reports. All original sources are from the Public Record Office, London, and Rhodes House Library, Oxford, England.

  • The Porcupine Dilemma: Governance and Transition in Somalia
    The Porcupine Dilemma: Governance and Transition in Somalia Ahmed I. Samatar Legislation considers men [and women] as he [she] is, in order to turn him [her] to good uses in human society. Out of ferocity, avarice, and ambition, the three vices which run throughout the human race, it cre- ates the military, merchant, and the governing classes, and thus the strength, riches, and wisdom of commonwealths. Out of these three great vices, which would certainly destroy all mankind on the face of the earth, it creates civil happiness. Giambattista Vico, The New Science, 1968 (1744), p. 62. In most of Africa, the state is a contested terrain where different nation- alities, sub-nationalities, ‘ethnic groups’ and communities go to fight for the appropriation of resources including power. A state which is a contested terrain in this sense can only be an anarchy of self-seeking and a theatre of war. Claude Ake, The Feasibility of Democracy in Africa, 2003, p. 167.
