  • Galmudug State Idp Camps Rapid Wash Assessment Report
    GALMUDUG STATE IDP CAMPS RAPID WASH ASSESSMENT REPORT Host community in Qaradhi village, Adado District fetching water from stagnant pool of water in the water source. 5TH – 9TH MAY 2018 Galmudug State Rapid WASH Assessment Report (@2018, CPD) 1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Through the WASH Cluster, CPD as the lead agency organized rapid WASH assessment with SCI, IRC, SSWC and the regional Local Authority (Galmudug Disaster Management Agency) between 5th to 9th May 2018 in Galmudug State. Following the recent floods in Somalia, a number of IDPs were affected and displaced which were at risk to poor hygiene and sanitation if not intervened timely. The assessment was planned after extensive discussion with the WASH cluster partners through the regional WASH cluster meeting held on 29th April 2018 at CPD hall in Adado District. This assessment would not have been possible without the generous support of the WASH partner organizations mentioned above who supported questionnaire data collection in Abudwak, Adado and Dhusamareb Districts of Galmudug State, Somalia. The GU seasonal rain started with heavy rains flooding most in middle and lower shabelle but it has not spared the IDPs in Galmudug State affecting 3,315 Households in Abudwak, Adado and Dhusamareb District IDP Camps as well. These people affected by the floods are mostly the IDPs and some Host communities’ homestead leaving stagnant around their homes and leaving massive flood around their water sources leaving stagnant water in all the area and destroying latrines and the IDPs temporary shelters.

Mukhw Somalia has enjoyed a unique role in the history of African nationalism. As the only country in Africa whose population is vinually homogeneous, most speak a common language, all are Muslims and claim to be relaled to a common (or several common) distant ancestors. One might therefore expect thai its independence movement would have been more unified than those ofother African territories where tribal and regional differences came to be reflected in political party groupings after World War Il. Also Somalia was the only country to be partitioned seveml times: once at the end of the 19th century during the scramble for Africa and again in the 1940's following the break-up of the lIalian East African Empire. This would seem to have been another factor that unified Somalis in a sense ofcommon nationalism. However, the drive for Somali independence gave rise to not just one but several political parties. Were these panies based on regional or "tribal" differences of a particular Somali son? Did they have differtnt views ofSomali nationalism and self-government? These questions are difficuh to answer, not only because source materials are limited but also because one Somali party, the Somali Youth League (SYL), came to dominate the political scene in the 1950's and was the majority party at the time of Somali independence in 1960.

  • Somalia: Al-Shabaab – It Will Be a Long War
    Policy Briefing Africa Briefing N°99 Nairobi/Brussels, 26 June 2014 Somalia: Al-Shabaab – It Will Be a Long War I. Overview Despite the recent military surge against Somalia’s armed Islamist extremist and self- declared al-Qaeda affiliate, Al-Shabaab, its conclusive “defeat” remains elusive. The most likely scenario – already in evidence – is that its armed units will retreat to small- er, remote and rural enclaves, exploiting entrenched and ever-changing clan-based competition; at the same time, other groups of radicalised and well-trained individ- uals will continue to carry out assassinations and terrorist attacks in urban areas, in- cluding increasingly in neighbouring countries, especially Kenya. The long connec- tion between Al-Shabaab’s current leadership and al-Qaeda is likely to strengthen. A critical breakthrough in the fight against the group cannot, therefore, be achieved by force of arms, even less so when it is foreign militaries, not the Somali National Army (SNA), that are in the lead. A more politically-focused approach is required. Even as its territory is squeezed in the medium term, Al-Shabaab will continue to control both money and minds. It has the advantage of at least three decades of Salafi-Wahhabi proselytisation (daawa) in Somalia; social conservatism is already strongly entrenched – including in Somaliland and among Somali minorities in neigh- bouring states – giving it deep reservoirs of fiscal and ideological support, even with- out the intimidation it routinely employs. An additional factor is the group’s proven ability to adapt, militarily and politically – flexibility that is assisted by its leadership’s freedom from direct accountability to any single constituency.
