You know they have been working overtime keeping the government in Somalia destabilized; offering their citizens free trips to America and Britain citizenship and anything else they want except staying in their own country. anything but that. They've even managed to twist the arms of their imams (religious leaders) to lie to the people and tell them that their oil isn't really on their land. More American lies, like the lie about captain phillips being some sort of hero. You see what the movie starring that honkie tom hanks didn't tell you was those 'pirates' that made the news here were not pirates; they were Somali villagers who had asked your hero captain phillips to STOP POURING POISON IN THE WATER KILLING THE FISH THAT THEY EAT! They asked him nicely and of course being on assignement for the cia and mi6 he didn't so these brave men had to take matters into their own hands. THEY WERE NOT PIRATES BUT RESPONSIBLE MEN TRYING TO SAVE THEIR PEOPLE FROM THE FAMINE in their own fucking land!!!! Didn't know that part of the story did you. All you've heard is that whitey washed lie about captain phillips aside from being their stealing oil he was there POISONING THEIR FOOD SOURCE!!!! GOD CURSE THEM! Poisoning these people's Food then want to play like their helping them reporting on the famine! STOP POISONING AND DESTROYING THEIR FOOD IF YOU'RE TRYING TO HELP! America has done so many horrible things to the Somali people they try an make them sign these agreements to not talk about what's going on in their country here! Dear Lord, please destroy the white establishment absolutely and completely!
Why hasn't the Somali government filed charges against the U.S. and great britain for poisoning their food and stealing their oil? What good is the U.N. when they can terrorise Saadam Hussein, Ghadafi, but won't move against the U.S. government! They brought Prince Charles Taylor to trial, so what's up? And other smaller countries gotta' quit being so scared; you will continually get pushed around that way.
God Will destroy these God less bastards.
Somali government, in the name of God go make a deal with the Chinese or Russia to pump your oil and to get these murderous dogs out of your land!
"It's pretty staggering," Plan Australia's Program Director Dave Husy said.
"We're looking at 40–50 per cent of the population facing acute food shortages, and a good proportion would be reaching a desperate state.
"My expectation is there will be a declaration [of famine] within four to six weeks."
Last week South Sudan declared a famine in areas of the country's south, where civil war has displaced thousands of people, disrupted crop planting and led to economic collapse.
It is the first country in the world to be in famine in six years, since Somalia emerged from famine in 2011. Nearly 5 million people are in urgent need of food.
Now Somalia faces renewed threats to its food supply. Like South Sudan, it is riven by conflict and fighting.
As a so-called failed state it has no centralised or functioning government, meaning there is next to no state support to assist people at risk.
Moreover, a protracted drought has led to water shortages, livestock loss and the failure of food production.
A sizeable proportion of the population faces immediate risk of starvation, Mr Husy said.
"The extended conflict that exists in areas of the country makes any functioning service provision extremely difficult," he said.
"So the emphasis shifts to humanitarian access for external, global agencies such as the United Nations, NGO's and relief agencies.
"So the emphasis becomes, can they get access to at-risk populations in those situations, and negotiate the protagonists in that conflict? It is quite different from a situation where you would have external aid and humanitarian assistance provided where there is a functioning government. It makes it very difficult.
"You have to walk through a political minefield to ensure assistance can be delivered."
More than 20 million people are in urgent need of food in Somalia, South Sudan, Kenya, Nigeria and Ethiopia, according to Plan Australia.
In Yemen, around half a million children suffer from advanced malnutrition, and up to 7 million people need urgent food aid.
Yemen is now classified as the world's worst humanitarian disaster because of its own long-running civil war and the war's impact on food supplies.
"The conflict in Yemen and the steady degradation of both government capacity and community resilience mean it is in a state of near collapse of governance, similar to the situation in South Sudan and Somalia. So you begin to see a real crisis emerging that people have no ability to support," Mr Husy said.
Significant areas of Ethiopia face severe food shortages, and are in need of food aid, but are not in imminent danger of famine.
Kenya and Nigeria also face food shortages, but governments in both have a greater capacity to respond to those in need and can move food and resources more easily.
The Australian Government earlier this week committed an additional $20 million to Somalia and South Sudan for food and life-saving support.
The Australian Council for International Development said the funds would help avert an even greater humanitarian crisis. But without an even bigger international response, millions of people across eastern Africa will be at risk of starvation by August.
The United Nations said it urgently needed nearly $6 billion in the next few weeks to avoid what it called a "catastrophe". But so far it has received only half a billion dollars.
The United Nations' definition of famine is when 20 per cent of a population faces extreme food shortages, 30 per cent of people experience acute malnutrition, and at least two people per 10,000 die every day.

Millions in urgent need of food across eastern Africa, aid agency says
Posted
Somalia is tipped to become the next nation declared
to be in a state of famine, as food shortages across eastern Africa
reach a crisis point.
More than 5 million Somalians are already on
the brink of famine, according to aid agency Plan International, and it
expects an official declaration by April."It's pretty staggering," Plan Australia's Program Director Dave Husy said.
"We're looking at 40–50 per cent of the population facing acute food shortages, and a good proportion would be reaching a desperate state.

Millions in urgent need of food across Africa
Several other countries across eastern Africa face severe food shortages in the weeks and months ahead, if not famine.More than 20 million people are in urgent need of food in Somalia, South Sudan, Kenya, Nigeria and Ethiopia, according to Plan Australia.
In Yemen, around half a million children suffer from advanced malnutrition, and up to 7 million people need urgent food aid.
