UN has to go an extra mile to address the appalling situations there!
Unfortunate Somalis destined from bad to worse, it's over two decades now when an armed violence erupted in the home country. The world gets bewildered to mend the unabated political morass. Entire multiple bids by regional and international actors to defuse the prevalent hybrid quandary are yet to deliver. The most recent endeavor from the latest Djibouti upshot appears fragile and ineffective. The incumbent UN-supported government in Mogadishu seems battered to grave by creeping insurgents. The whole world is now watching helplessly to the bubble of intractable disarray in the country, with exhausting all strategic plans to bring about peace and sanity. With this desolate scenario, and the lack of an eminent solution in sight again coerced million more Somalis to flee dispersedly to wherever karma can take to, searching safer sanctuary away from scary, war-ravaged Mogadishu. According to Agency's estimate 1.4 million Somalis have been displaced internally and more than half million are now refugees in neighboring and other countries. Kenya hosted the largest number of displaced refugees. Though rights groups blasted Kenyan security personnel for committing abuses and human rights violations against refugees crossing the border into Kenya, However UNHCR head; Antonio Guterrs praised Kenyans for their humane generosity they showed to African refugees in their country. Kenya has one of world's oldest, largest and most congested refugee camps. A ratio of 21000 crossed over the border during early months of this year alone. Thousands of refugees who live in urban areas have so far integrated into Kenyan public, building their future and making business in metropolis vicinities. They are refugees but today they own retail chain outlets, real state companies, business holdings, and investing in various commercial industries, which is, in turn, contributing hundreds of millions of dollars into country's economy. Not only in Kenya, also Somali Refugee entrepreneurs use Mombasa port as a transit hub for goods heading to Southern Sudan, Uganda, and of course southern Somalia while monsoon winds hampering Indian Ocean commercial routes. Kenya also represents a centerpiece for massive aid coordination activities to Somalia. With the help of Kenyan government, huge numbers of Somali refugees had been flown for resettlement to Europe, North America and Australia which helped UN refugee Agency evade further shrinking resource. The agency faced growing difficult to cope with unusual influx of refugees from Somalia. As UN Deputy High commissioner Alexander Aleinikoff reported to press at UN this year (2010) alone 200,000 Somalis were driven from their homes by violence in Mogadishu who became stuck in the country. This compelled the Agency to make appeals of supplementary donations totaling 60 million US dollar which makes the overall budget of the Agency for 2010 up to 425 million US Dollar for Somalia and all Somali refugees in neighboring countries. For Arabian Peninsula, Yemen rescued thousands of Somali boat people whom their wooden boats wrecked or capsized during adventurous voyage to Yemeni coasts, those who washed ashore alive, were given refugee status in camps administered by UNHCR, However most of Somali refugees in Yemen are now living in urban places, seeking for jobs and better life. Some continued their journey to reach to the Paradise of oil-rich Saudi Arabia. Yemen is truly commendable for its humane and generous reception for Somali asylum seekers. It has conferred unrestricted liberty of movement tantamount to the one enjoyed by ordinary Yemeni citizens. However, unfortunately, Yemen is largely one of poorest countries in the world. Its strained economy depends on scant and rapidly depleting petroleum resource, which represents 80% of the revenue source that the government relies on. The country also challenges one of fastest quantifying population in the world, this, along with huge domestic rivalry in the north and secessionist violent campaigns from the south made the country lagged behind the pace of development. In combination of these factors added to unbridled corruption and notorious social behavior of chewing stimulant narcotics called "khat". Yemen had been put under the spotlight of international concern. With these alarming conditions, Somali refugees there are living in grievous situation; they became derelict and unobserved melting in an ocean of despair among people who suffer an abject poverty. Somali refugees used to beg on streets, little number of them get chances for domestic works like house maids or carwash jobs but majority of them lay on streets as a disposal waste. With this looming crisis in Yemen, United Nations Refugee Agency lost its temper this week attacking the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its long adhered inhumane conduct to Somali refugee migrants there. The Agency urged Saudis to refrain from any extra (refoulement) deportation of Somali people to Mogadishu. As Agency's chief spokesperson Melissa Fleming reported to press in Geneva, indicated more than 2000 Somalis were deported in the months of June and July alone. All are flown back to Mogadishu amid new surges of fierce conflicts. Saudis did not sign 1951 Geneva Convention in which global nations committed to protecting of refugees and asylum seekers, thus the country does not have national refugee policy which mandates the kingdom to accommodate asylum seekers. However UN is now urging to all countries be it a signatory of the international treaty or not should extend some form of protection to Somalis by considering to humanity grounds and generalized violence at home. We know Saudi Arabia is much different from Yemen; it possesses 25% of the world's proven petroleum reserves, ranks as the largest exporter of petroleum which classified the country into the fore front of the global economic hierarchy. Despite such abundant wealth, since Somalis fled to all over the world, Saudi Arabia remained one of worst places Somalis ever set on foot since the wars engulfed in their country. Somali refugee migrants there are dealt in equal or in some cases more cruelty than other migrant workers, Somalis (men and women) are chased on streets like animal hordes, dragged, flogged, detained and forcibly deported back to Mogadishu at a time violence is on the peak. We call for UNHCR to increase efforts and adopt new strategy to cope the terrible conditions of refugee in the Arabian Peninsula. We need UN to go an extra mile to address the appalling situations in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. I would envision to finding out a resettlement plan which is the only viable option for refugees and for the Agency as well. The current situation in Yemen and the Kingdom's unsympathetic and intolerable approach cannot be continued any longer. Action must be coordinated to find out a complete cessation to sadistic refoulement by Saudis and seeking a new humane country(s) which can offer an opportunity for resettlement. UN must explore new strategy to contain the suffering of Somalis in this part of the Arab world. I see no hope for a voluntary return by those living there. And their plight has been lost between sheer negligence from the Agency and legal excuses by those countries.

The Plight of Somali Refugees in the Arabian Peninsula
The Plight of Somali Refugees in the Arabian Peninsula

UN STUDY WARNS OF FAILURE TO PLAN FOR RAPID URBANIZATION
UN STUDY WARNS OF FAILURE TO PLAN FOR RAPID URBANIZATION
Governmental policies aimed at retarding urban growth and depriving the poor of benefits and services increase poverty and environmental degradation, creating serious long-term problems that could be avoided by enlightened planning, according to a new United Nations study.
The study, published today by the United Nations Population Fund (<"http://www.unfpa.org/public/">UNFPA) and the International Institute for Environment and Development, examined Brazil, whose urban growth has been considerably more rapid than the countries in Europe and North America.
At present, Brazil's urban centres represent 80 per cent of the country's population – up from 36 per cent in 1950. But while cities now provide 90 per cent of the country's wealth, more than a quarter of its urban citizens are below the poverty line, and one in 15 lives in extreme poverty.
Rather than addressing social inequalities and planning for urban growth, Brazil had adopted policies that discriminated against urban settlement by poor people, according to the study.
As a result, millions of people are excluded from key services and other benefits of urban life, while facing immense social, economic and environmental challenges – such as crime, pollution, unsafe housing and preventable diseases.
The co-authors of the study – George Martine, a former UNFPA staff member and past president of the Brazilian Association of Population Studies, and Gordon McGranahan, of the International Institute for Environment and Development – said it has lessons for other developing nations.
"The story of Brazil's urban growth shows how deep-rooted inequalities have combined with negative policy stances to generate many of the social and environmental problems that still plague Brazilian society," Mr. Martine said.
"Policymakers in Africa and Asia should embrace and plan for urban growth, so they can take full advantage of its potential to contribute to development, rather than vainly attempting to prevent it as Brazil did," he added.
"A 'business-as-usual' approach that simply reacts to urban growth will be utterly inadequate," said Mr. McGranahan. "To minimize the negative impacts of rapid urban growth, developing countries can learn from Brazil's experiences and, especially, its mistakes."
According to the latest projections, Africa's urban population is expected to grow by 936 million in the first half of this century while Asian cities will grow by more than 2 billion.
The critical first step, the study concluded, is for policymakers to recognize the rights of poor people to live in cities and share in the benefits of urban life. The next is to plan ahead for their land and housing needs within a constantly updated vision of sustainable land use. This not only improves the lives of the poor, but enables the city to become prosperous and habitable for all.
"Urbanization and massive urban growth in developing countries loom as some of the most critical determinants of economic, social and ecological well-being in the 21st century," said Mr. Martine. "Policymakers can learn much from the experience of Latin American countries — and especially Brazil — that have already gone through an early urban transition."

SOMALIA: Unarmed and under fire in Mogadishu
SOMALIA: Unarmed and under fire in Mogadishu
MOGADISHU, 6 August 2010 (IRIN) - Civilians, especially women, tend to bear the brunt of armed conflicts across the world, particularly in Somalia, where Islamist insurgents are fighting a weak government propped up by African Union forces. Several women in Mogadishu told IRIN about the day-to-day reality of living in a warzone.
Malyun Dirie Hantul, 28, blinded after a mortar fell on her home:
"I had just delivered our baby and was in the house as my husband washed the bloody clothes I used during the delivery; he was killed as he poured out the dirty water - a stray bullet hit him.
"One day, as I sat at the door to my home, a mortar fell on us; all I remember was the dust all around us, then I lost consciousness. I woke up in a hospital bed and immediately realized I had lost my sight. Now I am a poor, powerless and blind woman."
Fatuma Abdi Dirie, internally displaced person (IDP):
"Women are always the victims of war, rain and hunger. We live with a lot of uncertainty and this makes life a real challenge, especially for a diabetic like me. I don't know for how long we will survive like this. I think about my fate every day."
Hariro Osman, another IDP:
"I am a victim of disease sparked by poor sanitation, shelling and displacement. I have an unknown disease that I think was brought about by the rubbish around me and the smoke or burning caused by mortars which fell on my house.
"I have difficulty falling asleep at night because of the horror and stress; during the day, I struggle to look for food for my children because my husband is an old man who doesn't work."
Halima Moalim Abikar, head of Hanad, a Mogadishu-based human rights association:
"What mothers and children undergo every day is unbearable and heartbreaking; as women activists, we are calling for an end to the killing and harassment of women.
"International and local laws do not allow for the defenceless to be harmed; on the contrary, the laws demand they be respected, so my plea is: please stop displacing women every day and seek peace for their sake."
The fighting in and around Mogadishu has displaced 11,700 people since 14 June, according to the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR. The agency estimates that one million Somalis fled Mogadishu in 2007 and 2008 due to the fighting between government troops and opposition Islamist groups Al-Shabab and Hisbul Islam.

Drums of War: Israel and the “Axis of Resistance”
INTERNATIONAL CRISIS GROUP - NEW REPORT
Drums of War: Israel and the "Axis of Resistance"
Beirut/Jerusalem/Damascus/Washington/Brussels, 2 August 2010: The Israeli-Lebanese border is exceptionally calm and uniquely dangerous, both for the same reason: fear that a new round of hostilities would be far more violent and could spill over regionally.
Drums of War: Israel and the "Axis of Resistance",* the latest report from the International Crisis Group, examines developments since the indecisive 2006 confrontation. It focuses on the de facto deterrence regime that has helped keep the peace: all parties now know that a next conflict would not spare civilians and could escalate into broader regional warfare. However, the process this regime perpetuates – mutually reinforcing military preparations; enhanced military cooperation among Iran, Syria, Hamas and Hizbollah; escalating Israeli threats – pulls in the opposite direction and could trigger the very outcome it has averted so far.
"Today, no party can soberly contemplate the prospect of a war that would be uncontrolled, unprecedented and unscripted", says Peter Harling, Crisis Group's Project Director for Iraq, Lebanon and Syria. "But underlying dynamics of the logic of deterrence carry the seeds of a possible breakdown".
Should hostilities break out, Israel will want to hit hard and fast to avoid duplicating the 2006 scenario. It will be less likely to distinguish between Hizbollah and the Lebanese government and more likely to take aim at Syria – because it is both a more vulnerable target and Hizbollah's principal supplier of military and logistical support. Meanwhile, the Shiite movement is bolstering its military might and, as tensions have risen, the so-called "axis of resistance" that it and its allies form has intensified security ties. Involvement by one in the event of attack against another no longer can be dismissed as idle speculation.
Beneath the surface, in short, tensions are mounting. The key to unlocking this situation is to restart meaningful negotiations between Israel on the one hand and Syria and Lebanon on the other. Short of that, it is hard to see why any of the actors would alter its calculations or how the underlying roots of the conflict (Syrian and Lebanese fears regarding Israel; Israeli anxiety at Hizbollah's ever-growing arsenal) might be addressed.
Prospects for such a development remain at best uncertain, so shorter-term steps are needed to minimise risks of renewed hostilities. UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which was adopted in the wake of the 2006 fighting, has played an important part in maintaining quiet but has lost momentum. Reviving it requires pushing for an agreement leading to Israel's withdrawal from the northern (Lebanese) part of Ghajar village and bolstering the size and capacity of Lebanon's armed forces in the South. More effective consultative mechanisms between the parties in conflict also would help defuse tensions, clarify red lines and minimise threats of an accidental confrontation.
"Lebanon's problems for the most part are derivative of and tied to broader regional tensions", says Robert Malley, Crisis Group's Middle East and North Africa Program Director. "Until serious efforts are mounted to tackle these wider issues, the risk of conflict will persist. In the meantime, the world should cross its fingers that fear of a catastrophic confrontation will continue to be reason enough for the parties not to provoke one".

FIVE NEW CULTURAL SITES MAKE IT TO THE UN WORLD HERITAGE LIST
FIVE NEW CULTURAL SITES MAKE IT TO THE UN WORLD HERITAGE LIST
New York, Aug 1 2010 2:10PM
The United Nations agency mandated to conserve the world's heritage has inscribed new cultural sites in Viet Nam, China, Tajikistan, France and the Netherlands on the World Heritage List and agreed to the extension of two cultural properties in Germany and Norway.
The Thang Long Imperial Citadel in Viet Nam yesterday became the 900th site to be inscribed on UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) World Heritage List. The Citadel was built in the 11th century by the Ly Viet Dynasty, marking the independence of the Dai Viet. It was constructed on the remains of a Chinese fortress dating from the 7th century and stands on drained land reclaimed from the Red River Delta in Hanoi.
The World Heritage Committee is meeting in Brasilia, Brazil, to review candidates for inclusion on its World Heritage List and assess the List of World Heritage in Danger.
Also gaining recogni
tion is the historic monuments of Dengfeng in China. Mount Songshang is considered to be the central sacred mountain of China. At the foot of this 1500 metre high mountain, close to the city of Dengfeng in Henan province and spread over a 40 square-kilometre circle, stand eight clusters of buildings and sites, including three Han Que gates -- remains of the oldest religious edifices in China -- temples, the Zhougong Sundial Platform and the Dengfeng Observatory.
In Tajikistan, the Sarazm, which means "where the land begins," is an archaeological site bearing testimony to the development of human settlements in Central Asia, from the 4th millennium BCE to the end of the 3rd millennium BCE. The ruins demonstrate the early development of proto-urbanization in this region. The centre of settlement, one of the oldest in Central Asia, is situated between a mountainous region suitable for cattle rearing by nomadic pastoralists, and a large valley conducive to the development of agriculture
and irrigation by the first settled populations in the region.
The Episcopal city of Albi in south-western France reflects the culmination of a medieval architectural and urban ensemble. Today the Old Bridge (Pont-Vieux), the Saint-Salvi quarter and its church are testimony to its initial development in the 10th and 11th centuries. Following the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathar heretics in the 13th century it became a powerful episcopal city. Built in a unique southern French Gothic style from local brick in characteristic red and orange colours, the lofty fortified cathedral dominates the city, demonstrating the power regained by the Roman Catholic clergy.
In the Netherlands, the 17th Singelgracht is a historic urban ensemble of the canal district of Amsterdam and was a project for a new "port city" built at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries. It comprises a network of canals to the west and south of the historic old town and the medieval port that encirc
led the old town and was accompanied by the repositioning inland of the city's fortified boundaries, the Singelgracht.
The committee decided that Germany's Upper Harz mining water management system, which lies south of the Rammelsberg mines and the town of Goslar, would remain on the list. The facility has been developed over a period of some 800 years to assist in the process of extracting ore for the production of non-ferrous metals. Its construction was first undertaken in the Middle Ages by Cistercian monks, and it was then developed on a vast scale from the end of the 16th century until the 19th century. It is made up of an extremely complex but perfectly coherent system of artificial ponds, small channels, tunnels and underground drains.
Also to remain on the list is the Røros Mining Town in Norway. The history of the town of Røros is linked to the copper mines. Established in the 17th century, they were exploited for 333 years until 1977. Completely rebuilt after its destruct
ion by Swedish troops in 1679, Røros contains some 80 wooden one- and two-storey houses and a smelting house. Many of these buildings have preserved their blackened wooden façades, giving the town a medieval appearance. The site was first inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1980.
The new sites are in addition to 10 other mixed and cultural sites inscribed during the current session of the committee. The 10 are situated in Sri Lanka, the United States, Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, Australia, India, Republic of Iran, Marshall Islands and Republic of Korea.
The meeting opened on 25 July and will conclude on Tuesday. A total of 39 sites are being considered for inscription on the World Heritage List.
