7:35 am
my name is caitlin. i'm the head of the international committee for the red cross, the i or c in somalia. police to be with you. thank you. you're going on. hi am i sang edison tour? i am a writer editor and journalist based in east africa. i've been here for the past 6 years. great. i'm going to bring him one more voice here from the top. this is a video comments and then from someone in our community named dr. andrew. she who sets up the problem for us. so see if we have that the increase of climate change or the if a vast effects of climate change can also contribute to displacing communities. and as a result makes more come committees more vulnerable and respectable to on group recruitment as well. we find that on groups like ash about can take advantage of cut climate change climate change impacts by positioning themselves as, as, as a way to provide new services and relief to communities because of the impacts of
7:36 am
droughts and flood. but typically in areas where the government or the states might not be present enabled to be able to deal with the situation as well. great smear. so screen with you because we're going to start with, with the security situation. can you, can you set up for audio for what's going on with the security situation? is that some, all at this moment, all the security situation in some i live, never easy and has always been complicated because of the insurgency and the 30 conflict that we had. but at the moment there has been political uncertainty and political a people just because of a do, made electoral process that are supposed to end this year. but unfortunately it has degenerated into our classes in april that cause a lot of displacement. now. 7 the current momentum having similar people because of a conflict between the president and the prime minister, which might degenerate to get into a security crisis is right now, still a political crisis. so we have that on one end. a 2nd big issue is bob and,
7:37 am
and the pricing and social in an area called gold, which is in central. so monday we are currently conducting operations. somebody security forces conducting operations against bob. and this has also cause displacement because i'll show up in one and displacing the government forces. the government forces coming back in the population. perfect to just step outside whenever this happens in an area called, he riding central money as well as crime clashes. but also because of climate change and you know, cost if you have resources, but as well the political situation tension between the center and the federal member state. now, well mentioned about and i want to bring in the video that we have from for to my check this i should actually display bios about for the, for model model. we have not cooked for the last 4 days because we have no food to eat. we are starving. we badly need to be supported while hinge and dia. hi,
7:38 am
makia. we fled elsewhere, bub, they chased us, forcing us to see shelter and support in this camp. we are desperate starving, and we need something to eat on tumble and we do sound good. all right. so you're kind of toss this back to you when you see someone like that, this place value of ops as her desperate the hungry they haven't eaten in days, was that was the red cross doing her? yeah, this is a typical image of the current situation in somalia, very hard breaking image. see these old women, they're looking and begging for food. the situation to him tend to tuition jamalia has been chronically bad now for for a number of years yet. when people ask me about how bad it is, 2 days, it is very different. give kind of a comprehensive on us. things are just accumulate to ear over ear and the various factors they contribute to this very dire. you may turn situation into maggio.
7:39 am
if you look at the basic indicators you make professionals when it comes to health and nutrition and live lute does indicate this has been bad and very bad know for, for quite some time. and sadly, and unfortunately the f taken is that the normally in somalia, if these would occur elsewhere in the region or beyond the blue screen, much louder about emergency, about 3 sponsors. but in somalia, these has almost become common place. and you just going from one crisis to the next year when you're, when you look at those indicators, is small, you're worse off now than, than it was 10 years or 20 years ago. where, how can you compare it to its own recent history? busy that's a good question. i think there's a steady decline that in, in, in somalia, broadly speaking and all depends on where you look at. yeah, i mean,
7:40 am
this woman gave a very, very clear picture of what means for many people. and you mentioned a displacement in your introduction of 3000000 people. we had only the displacement of about half a 1000000 people. and those people are in dire need there. austin, difficulty access there, often in the remote areas in areas that's where things are happening. this is not, may be, might not be reflecting the same day in the urban areas in mogadishu, where you know the earth and settings where things might look a bit different. so we have not one kind of uniform picture across the county, but you have many hot spots and very reach into that face tremendous needs. and they need to be addressed by, by the government in the 1st place. and then with the support of the international community and via the red cross the i see we tried to play a specific role reaching out to communities that otherwise can be reached. and we
7:41 am
play there very strongly on our mandate. those, our reputation in somalia, us being a truly new to on the, independent to this, to the, all these efforts. you know, it's hard to get your head around 3000000 people in the country being displaced and so we do hear it out there. i'll just say english to try to focus in on the actual people and their stories. and in here is one name is mohammed gara and he's a herder. but let's hear his story. the see them. we saw all of us in the latest route. 2021 is the one that destroyed the animals. before they recovered from the previous drought, they were hit by other problems like the locusts. the locust ate the pastures, so animals did not get anything to eat, and that is how they died. there was nothing to give them. they didn't have anything to feed on. we were left with 50 animals out of the 5030 were killed by the reins. now 20 or left. kentucky had to live ok. how about
7:42 am
a song he speak to me about that? the personal stories like what, what happens to this gentleman once he loses all his animals to locus to the brain, to trout, to conflict? what happens to him and his family? yeah, well we've seen this story play out and we've been seeing this over the past couple of decades really. what ends up happening to people like him is that he eventually will decide their own life for me here with my animals and my farm. and i will take a chance at being in one of the cities, probably most likely not to show were most likely he will end up. he had his family in a camp for internally displaced people which are already clouded overcrowded, already suffering from lack of resources. no education for children, no water and sanitation. so this is unfortunately, a case of these are all over again, like and so looking down to that jump in summer to just to that, you know,
7:43 am
what's making this situation actually was, was formally the 3, the corporate, my institute. i'm demick and the fact that we were having to rely on our dashboard to send in, you know, the remittances. and because of their own challenges back home and you know, the difficulties with jobs. they're really the money has really gone down. and what you're having is back home, a lot of problems that are relying on their communities and their relatives, really in a dire treat. so covered in 1900 is affecting that because the the ask for isn't doing as well, can't send the money back. is it also is covered 1900, also spreading within somalia. what's the situation with with i believe it's very hard to tell exactly the impact of coping 19, but i can assure you that because we just don't have the metrics, the ways of measuring it. it has really affected all people, especially the current delta vibrant. there's been a lot of hospitalization and deaths, but because we don't register the death and it's not really talked about because of
7:44 am
the other crisis says the political crisis of meeting the scene. you don't hear about it, but it's affected us. we haven't another video clip from another, heard that i want to bring it in because he has one phrase, i think you guys know, at least i found very interesting. i love to hear you guys kind of a riff on it. we're going to go. this is her name. awkward mohammed. play that now . oh hello. there is someone who had a lot of animals. all kinds of animals who is now just sitting, trying to do something else. this country is known for its refugees. if you lose your animals, you sign up as a refugee, that's what we say them. so there are many people who lost their animals and signed up as refugee. how much want to take? if you lose your animals, you sign up as a refugee so we actually wanted to know what the, the government's position and let me go to this. we reached out to the government, we reached out to the office of the prime minister, the office of the presidency,
7:45 am
the office communitarian, affairs of cultural tourism, federal government, somalia, like the ministry of information. and we got just crickets like no response from any of them, but we did find that they have a policy. and i want to show this to the audience now, of dealing with id, peas and i tell you what, let's, let's tweak this out. so if you're watching this now, you can check our twitter and you can see the policy. but one of the things i want to highlight here is it says that i, d, p, 's enjoy for the quality and obtain the same right as those given to all citizens by the somali national constitution. so this seems like they're trying to protect the rights of id piece, but as id piece poor into places mostly like most issue, what is the situation that they're finding there for them? unfortunately, the realities often look really different for it is very vulnerable people. and these hurt who talked about people losing a livestock, that's something you have seen over the years. i was in the marya 30 years ago and
7:46 am
i had the privilege and john to travel widely, timing, somalia, those to spend time wasted no, much with the same. you know much and to see and experience their lifestyle, which even at that time was extremely fragile. people are very sin strategy to survive, to cope with a very harsh environment. the harsh it might take environment. she can make environment and, and soon things go wrong. things caught ups and d stays, things score when many from for the same time. and that makes people so vulnerable . yeah. and the example of recovering herds is something that normally takes years after crisis, but these time is simply not there anymore. and people are difficult to recover from on to that makes crisis, those, those light spans in between become so short and those crisis come in and is often a factor matter of, of decent factors combined. calling these just one more and koby does quite tv. and
7:47 am
we don't know the details to be that have no doubt that mainly from the pool areas . but we know that the things are affecting people not even mentioned locust cries of the same thing, parts of somalia. that again, some additional element makes life difficult and hard for many people. so summer is the government, they're doing enough. and when i see you want to jump in the bottom and come right back to you, i believe a unstable political situation has really not helped the situation. and they bought it a lot of attention from government institutions who could have been seen of this motto and really worked well with the international community. and, you know, with other material agencies in, in delivering this age. so it hasn't helped and become complacency and no attention really to the situation. but i'm really hoping to stay there. i was just going to
7:48 am
say the fact that in my eyes really what somebody experiencing right now is suffering from what i see is foresees. this is conflict, climate emergency corporate 19, it can make impact. but to me, as far as i'm concerned, the worst of the seas is the crisis of leadership. what we have right now are a bunch of leaders who, whether they are at the federal level or the state level, are constantly squabbling over basically power. and what ends up happening is that the very people who need the boost are suffering because they're too busy fighting over the, you know, minister ship and discovery and in that cabinet. and it's really quite, it's sad, but we've been here before. and i feel like we're going to be here for things don't change for like 10 years from now would be having the same conversation with actually just pushed back the parliamentary elections, which means they're going to push back the presidential elections. so it seems like the government's having trouble even kind of taking care of its own
7:49 am
responsibilities and acts as much less all these internally displaced people, right? yes, to really having a serious crisis at the moment. the president's mandate ended in february, 8th, this year. there was a crisis to and he extended his monday by 2 years that was changed. and now the prime minister is pretty much in charge of the political process. you have been unable to gather the support that you required from the federal member states and the opposition needed to really move this process forward. and this is just because it's really, my cousin said it's a bunch of men really who are making the decisions on how to conduct this electro process. it's an indirect process. so it's not one person one vote. and so there's a lot of, you know, at least a competition try to make sure that everyone gets the amended they need into the next situation. so it really is a very sub state of affairs and i don't think it will be result in the new com. i don't see of having an election before the end of the you know, i'm going to bring in another voice from our community. this is abilene high,
7:50 am
holly ok, and he's the says, which we're kind of looking forward to solutions where they should come from. guilford on all been done. this done, somalis themselves in resolving their current crises, all they can help can support to watch that goal. but this process has to be on it has to involve all the stakeholders inside and outside somebody that has some obviously that asked for us to be able to resolve this shuttle that you know that you and has been there since 1991 in different situations you know, you know, peroration piece, keeping him out land and you know, they haven't, they haven't achieved marching. god, we got there. can you respond to the last? they said there were so the us been there since 90 want to hasn't achieve much in that regard. what, why hasn't the international community been able to influence the situation more
7:51 am
that's a tall. busy order big question, yet i'm talking from a humanitarian perspective representing the ice. you're see. and i think a lot has been done, but solution they cannot come from outside solution has to become from within. people like us near trying to support that. it's most to makes more sense and then we can at 22 efforts undertaken by others yet. but to put the blame on the da nash could mean, i think that would be be shortsighted. maybe not all this the right thing has been done that i think has been supported. but it's i would just emphasize what the person that they do, that it needs a combined effort that everybody has to contribute to play the role the course. it comes from leadership 1st and foremost, and at this stage i just would like to emphasize on the element that maybe put a little bit neglect these, the whole security situation or such. i think if you just look at some of the
7:52 am
figures again, about displacement, dizzier alone to half a 1000000 people displace these here. 80 percent of these people displaced, displaced by violence and insecurity. i think that's one of the big elements we have to look into and this is different. the fact that contributes to that way they can be done more or not. i think i speak profoundly for from our perspective, we need more support. we need more attention on such context and specials in the climate discussion of these countries. they're all the difficult details on, on for baby fact to see you mentioned they didn't often get forgot pushed aside because it's difficult to address climate change of address these issues in the future context. and then i think the international community could do more. or somebody mean for a generation of somalis, what does it mean for those in the be asked for,
7:53 am
for those who are there wasn't mean for the writers and the artists and the vibrant community that certainly house. yeah. well, i mean, the 1st of all, what it really means the most is that there's an entire generation of families who have grown up with this constant cycle of, of prices and emergence. that doesn't seem to be like in other crises where, you know, the, as soon as you sort of do the humanitarian aid and then you move on, you move on to development. and then those young people who become of age start to go to school and start getting jobs and they get out of the the that sense of crises and humanitarian kind of crisis worker. so money isn't the start of the war in 1991. basically it's been, you know, it's 80 something years of one crisis after another. and even when we know the reasons why somebody, especially when it comes to climate change, we're having,
7:54 am
you know, we know what the, why this is happening. we're basically having a crisis of either too much water or too little water. and there was a report that came out a couple of years ago, which basically said that the really the aim should be a build up of infrastructure in order to rehabilitate some of these. you know canals that used to very good water to farms have been in the state of disrepair since 1991. that's something that could easily be done and finish and fixed. it doesn't have to be a situation where in potentially hundreds of thousands of people are, you know, facing famine like situations. so it just, it really is quite sad and frustrating that we're constantly every couple of years, finding ourselves yet again in another humanitarian crisis. so that's the, the thing that really like kids need the hardest. the other thing is, you know, i, in somalia i go there often, i see that these crises don't hit everybody the same way. they are part of somalia,
7:55 am
especially in the show where there's a thriving the scene of like scenes of, of art and culture and music and, and that is what human beings capable of. that's what we're all capable of. but unfortunately, we don't have the, the luxury of developing these, these, you know, the mind and the heart of these young people so that they can pursue the potential to their fullest them become who they were meant to be at summer. is there anything here that gives you hope that we won't be talking about this same thing 10 years from now? really just the so body people and how they always pick them up and really depend on each other's community. i think the community have written out and stood up for somebody people time and again, and i can't on that. you've been with the court 19 upon demick,
7:56 am
i think locally the business committee, you did a lot to support the government systems. but to be honest, i think of the international community and the, and the regional countries have had a part to play. and someone is constant. political for a crisis is they have, you know, sometimes speak sides or impose solutions that are not necessarily so many solutions . so they've, they've made to go round, but i would say that, you know, so many people eventually have to take the responsibility of not just the security, but that governance, they cannot make situation and lifting that people. so are white or waiting moments here. you're going to go to you kind of for a last word. what can people around the world who are seeing those who might want to help or contribute in some way? can you point them somewhere that they can get involved? i think that many efforts going on and i would join my colleagues and 1st and foremost, it's about the somali people on the somalis taking often things in their own hands
7:57 am
and a lot of things are happening. so my sales and mortgage issue was in the north of the county. and so if you have to chance to, to support these initiatives that are undertaken by somebody's themselves, that's definitely a good statement. first it and then probably 9 information about that on the red cross website. yeah. yeah, we have all the regression. i want to thank you for being on the stream today. that's on i'd like to thank you as well. some error also and thank you the audience we're doing again, providing some of the comments really helpful and we'll see you next time. ah news

8:00 am
tell the people story was very important at the time. i called for a national uprising enough dentist on out of the taliban and claims of overrun the last pockets of resistance. ah alarm diamond jordan isn't out there alive. and also coming up guineas to need us ban government officials from leaving the country and order president alpha congress soldiers to join me and mazda opposition government declares, and it cause a people defensive war against the ruling genta and is bitcoin the future of finance and el salvador becomes.
