A letter From Hugh Masekela

January 24, 2012 Leave a Comment

a-letter-from-hugh-masekela

Growing up as a musician in South Africa I witnessed first hand the man-made obscenity that was apartheid and used music to protest against injustice. Apartheid is now consigned to the history books, but another obscenity still exists on our continent. A famine in Somalia that has killed 30,000 children in 3 months. Yet the current crisis is a man-made disaster that could … [Read more...]

Largest hospital for ‘gift of the givers’

November 3, 2011 Leave a Comment

largest-hospital-for-gift-of-the-givers

Gift of the Givers has just been granted permission to set up base, medical teams, equipment and supplies at Banadir Hospital, the largest hospital in Mogadishu (the largest city in Somalia) where thousands of patients are flocking to from various refugee camps in and around Mogadishu and the South, and are in desperate need of life saving medical assistance. The absence of … [Read more...]

Another 600 tons for Somalia relief

November 3, 2011 Leave a Comment

South Africa's Ubuntu Spirit knows no bounds. We are indeed making an emphatic continental statement that Africa is coming to the aid of Africans unreservedly. The power is not in the proclamation but in the execution: being the first African agency and the only agency in the world to fly 6 planes into Mogadishu in a two week period delivering 112 tons of aid, gave a very good … [Read more...]

Famine in Somalia: A desperate call for help

November 3, 2011 Leave a Comment

"As the hunger took its toll a husband and wife left their two children in the 'forest'. They could not bear the thought of their children dying in front of their eyes nor did they want their children to sense that they (the parents) were dying". This is Somalia; a monumental African tragedy that requires an urgent, co-ordinated international response to alleviate a massive … [Read more...]

Famine stricken Somalia vs Climate Diplomacy at COP17

November 3, 2011 Leave a Comment

famine-stricken-somalia-vs-climate-diplomacy-at-cop17

Realist Foreign Policy refers to the policy of a sovereign state in its interaction with other sovereign states. It might seem strange that an article that opens with a line like this finds itself in an environmental publication. Yet, it is not strange at all, as environmental issues like climate change don't 'respect' state boundaries. There is an environmental side to … [Read more...]

Crisis in the Horn of Africa

November 3, 2011 Leave a Comment

crisis-in-the-horn-of-africa

Parts of Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia are facing one of the worst droughts for 60 years, and around 20 million people are desperately in need of food, clean water and basic sanitation. Many of the affected people are already living on the margins of survival due to conflict, displacement and chronic poverty. Drought is also not a new phenomenon to the region. However, this … [Read more...]

Some believe that mechanically sequestering carbon from the air is the silver bullet that will avert cataclysmic climate breakdown. However, today’s leading technology is drastically inadequate to confront the breadth of global emissions being released. ... See more

OUR BURNING PLANET 168: Standing up for the pangolin, the world’s most trafficked mammal

In February last year, Daily Maverick broke the story linking pangolins as the likeliest vector of Covid-19 via bats to humans. The exact source has not been confirmed yet, but the attention, though it comes from panic and fear, might be the best thing that ever happened to what has been called ‘t... ... See more
