DROUGHT FORCES FAMILIES TO FLEE THEIR HOMES TO FIND SHELTER IN CAMPS FOR THE INTERNALLY DISPLACED PEOPLE

In Somaliland, desperate families are migrating in droves in search of food, water, and pasture for their weakened animals.

Burao, Somaliland: At Nabad iyo Nasiimo camp for Internally Displaced People (IDP) just outside Burao town, Ayan Hersi watches forlornly as her in-law, Abdi Igge, sets sticks in holes he has dug and interweaves them with a secondhand plastic sheet to create a makeshift shelter.

Hersi and her two-children arrived at the camp in the dead of night from Fadumo, 100 kilometers away. She is the latest among 300 families that have been displaced by drought in the last three months and have found refuge at the camp.

HUMANITARIAN CONDITIONS, SEVERITY AND PEOPLE IN NEED, FOR DROUGHT AFFECTED ALL IN SOMALILAND

Drought affected in general the urban and rural population in Somaliland regions, but vulnerable groups deem the mostly effected communities in the country. As a drought assessment report, conducted in Minority IDP settlements of five regions by minority lead organizations – USWO and DYDO, shows that  minority internally displaced people; in particular, women and children are encountering difficulties and suffering conditions caused by drought effected Somaliland and in generally the horn of Africa.

The outputs of the project previous phase have resulted in and caused the enlargement of minority rights activist groups, pressure groups; as well as, potential women’s rights advocates who represent lead module of gender equality and stand for empowered minority women targeting to raise up their role in the society and in the way forward be widely heard around the country and make addressing their rights as a national democratic and sensitive issue.

IMPORTANCE OF IMPROVING YOUR PROFESSIONAL WRITING SKILLS

Chances are that you spend much of your daily-time writing. Whether it’s crafting a project update report, or sending an email, your written communications are often a big part of your professional life. What you may not realize, however, is how that writing can make, or break your career. Poorly written reports, sloppy emails and even terse text messages can undermine your professional image, perhaps even costing you a promotion, or an important customer.

In addition, writing beyond the daily email, or report is becoming more important for professionals. Many are asked to write for industry publications, or blogs as a way to demonstrate their expertise, but poor writing can quickly undermine that effort. Follow us on: Fb & Twitter
