7:34 am
story is what can make a difference with hello everyone. i'm josh rushing and you're in the stream. today, we're talking about hunger and somalia, the challenges facing a groups there and what can be done to help. we want to hear your thoughts and questions. so see that they're joined us in that conversation. we have a lie producer waiting to get your questions to me so that i can get them into the show. ah. the walls worse famine in a century is looming over parts of somalia as the horn of africa, braces for its 5th consecutive season of drought. the war and ukraine has caused food and supply prices to skyrocket. pushing many people to the brink, united nation says time is running out to save millions of people from starvation
7:35 am
and are seeking more than $1000000000.00 to provide humanitarian relief. have a listen to what the stake in somalia, what can be done, what must be done to help millions of people in need amid this terrible drought crisis is a massive scale up of humanitarian assistance. as the human world food program we've already scaled up to reach more people than ever before, but we need the funding to sustain and increase the scale up. one of the major challenges is getting this aide to the people who need it most, especially in areas where access is difficult because of conflict and insecurity. we have families that have lost livestock, we have millions of people, we've been internally to displeased and we are calling for donors and international community to provide more supports to provide more funding so that we can scalable innovations. so that'll can support more people. and so let's get 7 more lives. joining us today from smalley lan, nemo hassan. she's the director of the somalia and g o. consortium. we also have
7:36 am
holden ali, the director of the durable solutions unit in mogadishu, who's at the u. n. in new york this week, an ester, the gumby, or the assistant professor at the university of illinois. now, before we get to our guest, i want to show you the audience, a map of what's happening in the country. now the map on the left, that one right there, actually, you're looking at it now that shows where we are up to the end of this month in september, in what you see as a country in crisis. but once we roll into october through december, much of the orange becomes red. and you see an emergency. you see red flags for millions of lives at stake. and let me show you why. let's go to my computer here. this is a tweet from samantha power at u. s. a. i d. the map that has some of the blue and green on here is 2017. this is the last time that somalia faced a possible famine and actually didn't go through the fam and you see some blue and
7:37 am
green there. look at the difference between 2017 in 2022. what 5 seasons of drought have done to this country? it has read like it's on fire, nemo ear in the region. what's going on there? what's happening? good evening, josh. thank you for having me. i think you actually painted a very stock situation and some of the moments were over 90 percent of the country is experiencing extreme drought conditions. with about 7800000 people close to 50 percent of the population now facing crisis level insecurity. children are already dining, some parts of the country partners on the ground have been calling out for support to support the life setting interventions at mass scale. and i think you've also showed the 27th, the difference between 20172011 was also another worst crisis with
7:38 am
a quarter 1000000 people. at least 133000 of them children. i'm but 2022 where we are now is actually unprecedented. the worst we've seen, this is long, i'm conflict, you have the impact of cobra. one thing you have this drought which is full consensus, i think the western 40th and that's taken place at the moment. and if we don't scale up the rate that the situation is getting, we will see much more death than in 20112017. the global community react to the well in time and a big family. and we need to do the same show some video here. this is from the whirlpool program and reuters and i want to warn our viewers. it's not easy to
7:39 am
look at this is to see, but i don't want to be so privileged that we don't see what's actually happening on the ground in somalia. oh, didn't you tell me what? what's it actually like for the families there right now? what are they going through? i think misery and miserable is not enough. it's actually hell on earth for some families and the pictures that you're showing. i mean i came back to somebody on 122011 at the height of the famine in. it's starting to look like that. we haven't seen really dramatically the same numbers, but the images that are starting to show are heading in that direction. and as you pointed out on the map earlier in terms of the extreme levels of the drought and in the cumulative additives of consecutive on weight failures in little security,
7:40 am
the impact is gonna be much greater because communities have lost the resilience to withstand a lot of these shops that are happening right now, so if, if we don't respond immediately, i think we are going to see maybe a double what we've saw in 2011 so that you know, those images that you're showing now, even in not that's not just the rural areas we'll see images of that in the show, the capital of the country. how on earth, i think, yeah, i was actually gonna ask you, ah, and i also asked her to bring him some boards from. are you to community? this is louis still says, how was fear, men still a thing in this day and age and what ways can world powers help to solve issue we're gonna get to solving at toward the end of the show. but 1st i want to say, well how, how does this keep happening? why does this happen? plea exactly. that is the reason. and we know why it's hot and it's because every
7:41 am
year when droughts happen in the home of africa, all we do is jump out of the aid. we put a bonded, we put a bonded and we know that we don't do any long term concrete actions. and for example, we asked for right now that you in is before a to 1000000 with that thought 18000000. it's all going to be spent on immediate to a vot junglin from guy. but why are we not putting concrete measures? why it, we have in drought, climate change. most of the communities are depending on grain fed agriculture to produce crops that livestock to i, depending on great, they're failing, we cannot be and completely hungry. so it is important to realize that all we are doing is, every year, having this temporary, ah, measures,
7:42 am
not concrete measures when even if we have concrete measures, what we're going to look at and as raphael, what is happening to see here what is walking? what is not wanting so that we can scale this best practices again when it happens next year? esther here brought in the you well, we actually have a comment from the un commission for human rights ravine, a sham dasani. here's what she had to say about it. the ongoing conflict with elisha bab complicates the humanitarian response in terms of gaining access to many of those who are in need. children, women, and older persons are bearing the brunt of the crisis. as the majority of people displaced by drought, this makes children more vulnerable to abuse and exploitation, to recruitment and to use by armed forces and groups, and at risk of sexual violence. the drought is already resulting in increase fighting over ever scarcer resources,
7:43 am
which has led to larger displacement of communities and an increase in violence against women and children. her name is sandra here, wanted to jump in there, but what i was picking up from asked her was sounds like if we keep putting the band aid on it that this is gonna get worse year after year. does that? does that ring true to you? absolutely. i totally agree with that, and i think, i mean obviously somebody has been in crisis for the last 50 years and you know, this area the 100 because it's not prone to drought, but the current climate crisis actually be proportionately affecting the communities and especially the poor communities who are being hit by one crisis of the other. and i totally agree that we are focus the money that i see the responses to, to, to focus on the band aid to humanitarian life saving. what we really need to do is to invest in those shots on long term development programs. we need to go beyond
7:44 am
the humanitarian response and approach this problem with which assessment will come back again and again from a development angle. you know, we need to be certain questions and how can somebody adapt to climate change, which actually is the lease contributor to the current crisis and how can it she'll, it's populations from the negative impact of climate change. how resilient are the economy, finances to natural disaster and climate change? these are the questions that need to be answered by all stakeholders, including donors and the somebody government to ensure that these fundable communities can withstand these constant shots are predictable. coming back, i want to get you in on this, but guys, i want to share something on my computer real quick because it seems to me that somalia is often at the tail end of what crises are happening around the rest of the world. seem to like land and hit harder in somalia. so for example,
7:45 am
the war in ukraine is having a mass effect effect in somalia. but just this week the cabinet ministers of ukraine have allocated approximately $12000000.00 to provide humanitarian, a. d, t o, p, and somalia, which suffer from view shortage. this is coming through odessa. well, how long should wait until the an 8 tonight is the question. that is the question. every step called every leader imputed dos. who are attending the own gullies? yeah, those are the questions that we should be asking and demanding answers, immediate answers and answers that have concrete action. so as i said, we did ask this question, does anyone ga, you're at the u. n. g o r r u, as in those questions in our people responding. so i can pick up where esther left off and also maybe the video. i think it's easier to justify the problem. that's as somebody is crisis right now to security, etc, etc. i think there's
7:46 am
a failure in terms of the aid system in the infrastructure that is in some, on the we are missing the point. i mean, obviously, right now we're about saving lives. and obviously we need to raise funds to quote, unquote, save nice of beyond the saving lives. i, our government, the somali government needs to start acting and asking the right question around how that money that the, the country is allocated is being spent. we know on the ground that the money that some money receives is not efficiently spent on resilient building programs, water infrastructure, diversification of a likelihoods, and etc, etc. and i think it's so long as we keep site stopping the real problems. we're going to be yet another famine in couple of years. the issue of climate is just one issue that has derailed the other interventions in somalia, obviously now exacerbating everything. but there is a system infrastructure issue in terms of from donor giving money to you and
7:47 am
agencies implementing programs and the lack of sort of read a long term strategist around. how do you listen? somali is a income or, or lame. no, it's comes, comes from life stock in farming yet we have been very little to support those communities who have been very little to actually maybe move this communities from, from those particular are skills to other skills or they can start, you know, living life rather than being saved all the time from 2011 till now, the displacement capone of somebody has doubled. so now nearly 40 percent of the population was or one in to be some mileage is displaced by the end of this year's drought, or hopefully not a famine. we're going to much more people displaced yet. we continue to fund emergencies rather than sustainable development programs. i think so long as we're not talking about that. we're not talking about the issue. yes. raising the issues
7:48 am
we are in every supervising so. 8 there now hope a sitting we are asking him, we are advising to invest differently and i think it's time also on the government end to say no, this is what some money needs aligned. the investment with the national development plan with local solutions that are tailored for local problems and as long as we're not doing that, we will be back on this show in couple of years. talking about the same issue and put, you know, i think you're right, you're right about the one of the things i keep on you go and read and read right now i day or every one to open and read about do all we leave is the problem the problem, where are we not talking about the solutions, what i the end, what is being done? even the journalist that report all you report is images of people that are dying at the up woke it's of ah lights. i don't look at the projects that are walking
7:49 am
that can then be scaled. can we have equal reporting to be able to see? because at the end of the day, i think when we just report on one side, the east of the ishall, then everybody sees its doom and gloom. there is nothing that we can do, i think also i just heard a reality of the news, right? if we were wondering about the famine and drought in small you today, we would be reporting about floods in disease in pakistan today. and if it wasn't about that, it would be about war and war crimes and ukraine. i mean, we don't want borderline to take off and don't crash. that's just the nature of the media, right? yes. but i saw then i think need to challenge ourselves. we is it the end keels to start actually sharing? what are these projects, initiatives that are walking in the ground on ground solution so that they can scale out ok, going doesn't look no less. com, melissa, and weak in as them in the projects. i way way i'm gonna set you up. i sent you an
7:50 am
email because i want to bring in some voices from youtube and you guys gotta hear this. actually some distrust of the n jose in youtube and him i think you might be best to address this. but um we have muse, yusef, who says only somalian people can help migration f efforts. hold on, i want to get to the eras as who st says the aid industry has raised billions. where's all that money gone? ah, there's lots of questions about the ngos, the money in a distrust there. kit nemo, can you address that? please? thank you very much. i'm, i think, i think everyone hear the panel on the video some questions, you know, i mean there really key questions that we need to ask ourselves across the spectrum where the governments don't s o n jose. and i think we really need to critically look at what we've done correctly. and i think we have done a lot rightly because many, many people where we're safe and happy and safe the someone it has. it's dependent
7:51 am
on aid, any type of aid, whether to monitor and development. and i think it's really important that we are asking those critical questions across the spectrum. i certainly think the government needs to take a bigger role in ensuring that so the probably finance is can also would stand. it's really good to hold each other accountable on exam and exactly how the money spent. like i said earlier, what is really important is king at the time in the modeling the finance models. at the moment the focus on humanitarian, which is, and those life saving activities. and like i said, the system to him, it's him, system has been stretched over the last 30 as well. whether it's in constant crisis in some poor communities, haven't had the time to recover. 2011, you have the standing by the time 2017 hit. people have been recovered from the funding and the impact on their livelihoods. 201718. 2019. you have the
7:52 am
look to my actually definitely to people's crops. 2021. and that's one thing you have cobra pandemic. the global, obviously hitting the poorer community is far worse. then you have the ukranian crisis, we success updated everything. insulation is going full price of going up when now the whole community is able to afford the full price of triple o w certain areas in the country. so i think we need to look across the spectrum. we also need to focus on development 8, ensuring that equally investing development, short term, long term recovery plan so that these communities are able to withstand and when shocked, come and they will inevitably come as well as to jump in there. yes, i agree with everything and also we, i think these lead to look at data science. what is science telling us? let's head into the warnings even as we are talk about famous droughts. we know
7:53 am
that these already existing data intelligence, satellites, data, we know that this is a, an impending situation. we need also to create account and accountability across the sectors, including not only the n g us, but even within the united nations, our system within the governments. no one should feel like they are in their will safe and they should not be looked at. i think it's important to but most importantly, i think i, we also are excluding people that may be part of solving this salad. for example, i think of diaspora, ah, who are people like me? we're house here who have lived in this country's way a weekend. still. i do a big part of it and it is a we also missing in for every dollar that is spent on humanitarian, $850.00 cent is put aside to do meaning for long term
7:54 am
development projects that build in the resilience that we need. and what does that resilience look like? it should be a very, a well thought out and when curated documents that we not okay. this is how we are going to talk on this. and then when we have records, we have, we know what to do. we are collaborating across the stakeholder. we are investing in long term as we do the short term. now think we also leaning in into everybody in the hold on hold on. i'm going to come to you next week. okay, hold on to a 2nd. esther. i want to bring in another voice from our community. this is claire in a c k. and she is a campaigner from a greenpeace africa and she's talking about solutions as well. so she'll, she'll, sir. boring, age is good. it is not sustainable in the long run. and so my guess should be looking at increasing its agricultural productivity. it should be looking at to putting in place of policy plans and resource allocation plans that to make sure
7:55 am
that it's firms have access to water. so many back into came in crisis, just make it back in a country and african courtney. it's what any. so says ash, thinking, so position of what is important for it's from us to grow food should be looking at for maybe both, such as we're gonna try to lessen the farmers building infrastructure to help comp for blows his in food waste age and increasing the productivity of key cro possession so and finally just enhancing security but to for production is okay, and i'm looking at the comments from are you too bought? isn't that the biggest thing here might be how can they help? we even have a comment from someone named brad lovely, who says, can't we create a specialized app or use current social media platforms to leak flash match, interested international donors, to the most serious cases in somalia. so there's spitballing ideas here, and you're there at the you when, where it's, it's design to deal with these kind of crises. i'm curious, are you running into any kind of disaster fatigue from international donors and
7:56 am
what do you think can be done or, or what kind of solutions are you guys talking about not just for this crisis, but for long term moving forward. oh yes, there are low term solution discussions that are happening and i think people are as right. yeah, i think you know, the, the audience that is sending in the messages around. so i think there is, if the collective fatigue, there's been a mistrust around what's happening in some milan, maybe in the horn, across the region in terms of sort of the issues in why things keep on being the way they are. i think there's a lot of top down systems that are, that have been in place in somalia, in the submissions, in the programming that happened or not necessarily bottom up community lead community owns local government and regional government supported. i
7:57 am
work at the las pallet and it's really difficult to negotiate with our partners in funders, to actually support the systems that are needed to address these long term issues. i, i do believe that you cannot you can't, and you can't talk about solutions without actually building systems or government system. so mine is government systems over time. haven't brought it in. now we are in the back, you know, we're back in trying to build those systems, but yet continuously you see a non governmental entities delivering basic services in there was the majority of the resources are going towards that. so long term solutions. not only do we need to their patient livelihood and an investment in community based programming. we also need to build systems because ultimately it'll, i mean, i'm in new york right now. and then who delivers, you know, schooling and policing in health care, the, the local governments do, they did the,
7:58 am
the municipalities do. but yet these systems are not being invested to build in long term community or resilience. i mean, as far as you know, here in new york, i mean, you can imagine that there's a lot of conversations about getting funds and getting funds and getting funds. but i do think until and unless we go back home in we sit at the table, especially those at the decision making at the past there is to ensure that whatever funds that are coming in the, in the, in the years the camp are promoting. yes, i got to wrap the show here. weren't the violation 20 seconds, but i want to know that al jazeera is going to keep watching us. we know that as we move into october december, things could get much worse there. if people look in health programs like world food program or out there, that's it for now. thank you for joining us. ah
7:59 am
. i'm counting the cost will cutting taxes, kick start the u. k. economy already working with facing financial prices. central banks are hiking interest rates. we ask about the global impact plus y movies from bollywood and norwood fighting to stay in the spotlights. counting the cost on all just frank assessments. if the united states actually felt that you're running a good program was there to build a nuclear weapon. they would have signed a deal by now informed opinions. i believe that armenia agenda should have bilateral negotiations. we've been holding that for many times. critical debate is the commonwealth now still something that king charles will take home in depth analysis of the data global headlines inside story on al jazeera, a surge of the country is under water. more than 33000000 are suffering from hunger,
8:00 am
disease and displacement. the word stories about children who are drinking from the same water with their dead khaki was floating al jazeera questions. climate change play a role in the deadly down poll. we had someone been a 150 millimeters of this kind of been going to sink any place the full report pakistan. the great deluge on al jazeera bolts journalism, the police violently dispersing protest this, these are some of the 10s of thousands of people try to flee global inspire to program making. welcome to generation change unrivalled with broadcasting. white people did not want black children in their schools. we have to fight for it and al jazeera english proud recipient of the new york festivals broadcaster of the year award for the 6 year running. ah.
