Low/Variable risk – International & national staff Medium/Variable risk – International & national Heightened/Variable risk – National staff & Intermittent International Staff with conditions Extreme/Variable risk - Essential National Staff only Imminent Threat Unknown status - Insufficient Data Available 3 Somalia NGO Security Preparedness and Support Program (SPAS) Executive Summary The security condition in Somaliland remains calm apart from the electoral related stand off between the government and opposition legislators; Puntland is volatile with constant piracy related criminal activities and open fighting in the South and Central Somalia continued throughout the reporting period. Carjackings, stand off attacks, piracy, banditry, IED attacks, ambushes against AMISOM/ET/TFG troops, demonstrations, food aid looting and assassinations were all reported. The number of IED attacks against ET/TFG/AMISOM has decreased from 8 in the previous reporting period to 7 in this reporting period. Reportedly a US military plane attacked a Dhusamareb town building in a pre-dawn air strike killing 15 people, including the al-Shabaab leader Aden Hashi Ayro whilst conducting a meeting. The insurgent group’s spokesperson promptly called for revenge attacks. The vengeance attacks will predictably affect the security situation in the entire southern and central Somalia in the foreseeable future. This might lead to direct attacks against humanitarian workers operating in the regions. The aid community is advised to exercise extreme caution whilst in the field during this transition period in the al- Shabaab’s top leadership. The number of incidents against the aid community remains comparatively low to actions against the AMISOM/ET/TFG troops; however, they are significant and highlight the difficulties faced by humanitarian organizations in Somalia. In summary, the following incidents were reported; Three militias were killed after a clash within the premises of an NGO in Awdhegle, Lower Shabelle Region, carjacking of an INGO hired vehicle in Mogadishu’s Dharkenley District, harassment of a female INGO staff in Wajid, 3 food aid trucks looted in Beled Hawo, Gedo region and an INGO convoy attacked in Jilib. The continued inflation rates, food shortage, increasing commodity price is assessed to increase criminal activities against the aid community. Fighting in Mogadishu and its environs after the killing of the al-Shabaab leader in Dhusamareb allegedly resulted to the killing of two TFG troops and three ET troops. There was a reported demonstration with thousands of people highlighting increasing food prices and high inflation rates. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets, hurling stones that smashed the windshields of several cars and buses and looted from businesses. Food prices increase coupled with high inflation rates will be a constant cause for food related security problems in the region in the coming months. Aid community should heighten their security within their warehouses and whilst transporting food aid in convoys. Impunity continued in some parts of Gedo/ Middle/Lower Juba regions, with clan clashes, ICU militants, bandit attacks and sea port control fighting. The aid community should plan their food aid convoys to prevent attacks from bandits in the region. Nevertheless, the meeting called by the newly appointed regional administration for 4 Somalia NGO Security Preparedness and Support Program (SPAS) Gedo region with TFG MPs, traditional leaders, Lingo’s and INGO’s operating in the region to map out for an action plan for working together might impact positively on security in the region in the near future. In Puntland the security situation remains volatile, with increased criminal activities and piracy. The pirates once more attacked a chemical tanker plying the Indian Ocean waters with the intention of hijacking it. The ransom has clearly continued to motivate pirates who are searching for ships to hijack along the Somalia coast. The authorities have reportedly asked the public to assist police through neighbourhood watch groups to curb the growing insecurity. In Somaliland the overall security situation remained calm during the reporting period with the exception of continued stand off between the government and opposition legislators over Presidential term extension. The resignation of the deputy chairman to the NEC highlights the continued disagreements between the two actors. This may have an adverse effect on the security situation noting the grievances raised by the opposition legislators. In conclusion there are doubts over the attendance of much awaited security and reconciliation meeting in Djibouti scheduled for 10th May, 2008 by AOGs. The recent attack of Dhusamareb is raising fears of al-Shabaab attendance as highlighted by their spokesperson; instead they might carry on with their insurgent activities. The recent wave to capture of towns in the southern central Somalia by insurgents and resignation by administrators in Beletweyne is assessed to affect the security situation of the entire region. 5 Somalia NGO Security Preparedness and Support Program (SPAS) Banadir Region: Mogadishu.

The destruction has affected the economics of the country both Public and private properties. The country has became a place where there is no law and order and insecurity prevailed and killing, looting and displacement has become day to day with the live of Somalis. The ministry of education, culture and higher education and its department was among the sectors that were spared that resulted total closure of all offices and centers that was dealing with education services and most of education staffs left the country as refugees. It was early 1992, when Somali educationalists regrouped again to revive the education sector of the country to provide the education service that our people used to get from the national education institution that was not functioning at all. Education umbrellas, privately owned school, colleges and higher education institutions have been established to cover the services that the ministry of education was providing to the people before 1991. But again this effort could not provide quality free education throughout the country. The role of the international and local organization towards the education sector of Somalia together with the support of citizens has made the sector with little improved.
