Sub7anallah. Another compelling evidence to support the peace initiatives of Sheikh Sharif.

Somalia Insecurity undermines humanitarian access

The escalation in civil insecurity in Somalia has severely hindered response activities at a time of sharply increasing needs. About 3.25 million people, mostly in southern and central Somalia, are in need of urgent assistance. The violence has also disrupted commercial activities and contributed to an escalation in food prices.

In southern and central Somalia, households have already exhausted most coping mechanisms to respond to the current crisis, the result of below-normal April-June rains, crop failure, high food and fuel prices, and continued violence and unrest.

As a result, the country is facing an extreme humanitarian crisis, and indications are that the situation will continue to deteriorate with increasing rapidity through the end of 2008, and into 2009. Child malnutrition rates are already extreme; 180,000 children in southern and central Somalia are acutely or severely malnourished. Urgent food and non-food assistance is needed to respond to the crisis.

Shirib how can they send anyone in Somalia when your amiir Robow is threatening them?

Sheik Shariif didn't do a good job. U can't rely on the UN, he should of said Ethiopians leave in 120 days period.

That is what will happen soon. Ethiopians will leave. A war between Al-shabab Takfiris with their foreign jihadists against the rest of Sunni Somalis with their unholly Somalia alliance will follow, just like Sunni Iraqs turned against Takfiri's in Anbar Province. Sheikh Sharif is trying too hard to avoid that scenario. Al-Shabab knows they will loose the goodwill of Somalis and will react negatively and pursue their nihilistic philosophy like the Khmer Rogue in Cambodia. Another sadder chapter will follow.
