A World Food Programme (WFP) convoy arrived in the Zamzam camp in North Darfur, Sudan, on Friday – the first since famine was declared there three months ago, the UN agency has reported. WFP announced a major surge in its operations across Sudan, part of a scale-up effort to reach millions in the most needy and isolated conflict areas. More than 700 trucks carrying emergency food aid are on the way to communities across the country, including 14 “hotspots” that are facing severe food insecurity and the threat of famine. They are transporting some 17,500 tonnes of food assistance, enough to feed 1.5 million people for one month. ‘More than just food’ Laurent Bukera, WFP Regional Director for Eastern Africa, said the agency has been pushing to reach all isolated conflict zones in Sudan. “These trucks carry more than just food; they carry a lifeline for people caught in the...

By Aidarus Ahmed, The United States has long positioned itself as a global champion of gender equality, pouring billions into initiatives to empower women and girls worldwide. For example, in March 2022, the U.S. announced a historic budget request of $2.6 billion to advance gender equity across the globe, more than double the prior year’s funding. Former US presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton/ Photo credit The Atlantic This request supports efforts by USAID and the State Department to tackle gender-based violence, promote economic and political empowerment, and confront the challenges faced by women and girls in crises like the ongoing humanitarian situations in Ukraine, Yemen, and Afghanistan. The goal is clear: to build safer, healthier, and more prosperous communities by centering women-led organizations and businesses in the development process. However, this commitment to advancing gender equality abroad stands in stark contrast to the U.S.’s own domestic struggles in...

Sunday November 24, 2024 Mogadishu (HOL) — The African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) has denied reports claiming its police component is involved in organizing elections in Jubbaland State. In a statement released Sunday, the outgoing African Union mission reiterated its commitment to neutrality and called for constructive dialogue between Somalia’s Federal Government and Jubbaland authorities to resolve electoral disputes peacefully. “ATMIS will continue to implement its mandate in full support of Somalia’s state-building process, including efforts to transition to one-person, one-vote elections through an inclusive and participatory process,” the statement reads. The denial comes amid heightened tensions in Kismayo, where a gunfight erupted Saturday between Jubbaland police and security guards for Senator Ilyas Baddel Gabose, a presidential candidate. The clash, which occurred outside the AGAN Hotel where opposition politicians were meeting, left one security officer dead and two others injured. The confrontation reportedly began when Jubbaland police blocked...
