Pope calls for aid to famine victims in Horn of Africa
July 18, 2011. (Romereports.com) For the second week in a row, Benedict XVI has expressed his concern for the people in the Horn of Africa, where tens of thousands are currently suffering from famine. The area is suffering from what aid agencies are calling the worst draught in 60 years. Drought and violence by Islamic militants in Somalia have forced thousands to flee, creating what UN workers are calling the world's worst humanitarian crisis. The pope said a prayer for those in need and expressed his solidarity with them. He also urged the international community to help in solving the problem. Benedict XVI "Countless people are fleeing from the famine in search of food and aid. I hope international mobilization grows to send timely relief to our brothers and sisters already sorely tried, among which there are so many children." During the Angelus, Benedict XVI explained a parable by Jesus on the Kingdom of Heaven and how to live with faith. Benedict XVI "Jesus compares the Kingdom of heaven to a wheat field, to help us understand that something small and hidden is sown within us, which, however, has an irrepressible life force. Despite all obstacles, the seed will grow and the fruit ripen." Benedict XVI delivered the Angelus from his summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, where he will be until the end of September.

FAO declares end of famine in Somalia
The Food and Agricultural Organization declared Somalia famine free on Friday, after a season of remarkable harvest but warned of its reappearance in 100 days if farmers are not provided proper aid and support. Aid agencies have been able to address issues of famine in the African country but received a bout of good luck with rain. According to Jose Graziano, the United Nations food and agricultural agency's Director General, the recent harvest in Somalia was twice the average of the past 17 years, lowering food costs but the mortality rate in southern Somalia is still one of the highest in the world. "We got this season more than 200 percent improvements in some food staple crops and we can do that if we are able to support the farmers in this forthcoming 90 days. We have less than 100 days to avoid another famine in the region, that is the important message," said Graziano. The U.N. said the number of Somalis threatened with starvation had decreased from 750,000 to 250,000 in November last. "The good news does not mean that the crisis is over. We still have a huge problem in the region particularly in Somalia and also in other countries that you know are facing similar situation like the Sahel region in particular the South Sudan," added Graziano. Despite delivery of aid to camps in the country's capital Mogadishu, fighting continues to affect southern Somalia, making it difficult for aid workers to reach victims. Kenyan and Ethiopian forces have joined Somalian government forces to help fight the ongoing conflict with al-Shabaab, the Islamist rebels linked with al-Qaeda. "Access to the vulnerable populations remains a major challenge. However I believe that through inevitable planning, strengthening local partnerships we have been able to mitigate the worst effects of the famine but we also really rely on the humanity off all parties to conflict to demonstrate their continuous commitment to the Somali people," said Mark Bowden, U.N.'s humanitarian coordinator for Somalia. Al-Shabaab expelled the International Committee of the Red Cross on Monday, one of the few international aid agencies who have been delivering food aid to areas under rebel control, accusing it of providing out-of-date food to women and children. The ICRC has delivered food aid to over 1.2 million people between June and December 2011. By: Nadia Idriss Mayen Al Arabiya with Agencies

The Caravan of Solace - Mexico's movement for Peace
Mexico is in an state of National Emergency 50,000 people have died due to the so-called "war against drugs" initiated by President Felipe Calderón With the murder of son of poet Javier Sicilia in March 2011 a civil movement emerges proclaiming: Enough Already! In June 2011 The Caravan of Solace Travels to the North of Mexico Meeting countless victims along the way... People willing to speak out and end this Senseless war against mexicans This is just a chapter, the Movement continues. The caravan to the South will take place in September 2011. We ask for the support of the international community. Mass-media reports the war as a battle against criminal organization when in fact, criminal organizations and the government are often the same and their target is the Mexican population. Mexican and the US government are interested in this war because the enormous profit of the arm trade and the benefits of control they gain over the Mexican population after a militarized country. Stop the war!
