13. Civil Insecurity Key Defining Issues: Impacts (Oct. to Dec. ’06) IMPACTS (GENERAL) IMPACTS ON FOOD, NUTRITION AND LIVELIHOOD SECURITY NOT AS GREAT AS MAY BE ANTICIPATED -Displacement, in general of short duration and short distance from urban to rural surrounding areas plus some of longer distance (for example, cross border to Kenya). Increased resource pressure on host communities -Limited disruption to seasonal agricultural and pastoral activities (flood recession planting, livestock migration) but some reduction in labour pool leading to disruption to weeding activities at a crucial period in the crop cycle -Disruption to market access compounding difficulties in access due to flooding -Official Kenya-Somalia border closure on 3rd January 2007 compounding trade and population movement -Dramatic shrinking of humanitarian space compounding existing access problems and RVF activities

14. INSECURITY: MOST LIKELY SCENARIO (JANUARY – JUNE 2007) Until effective measures are in place there will be increasing localised insecurity (including banditry and roadblocks, tensions between clans including clan retaliation, resource based conflicts, insurgency, and a renewal of marine piracy) - Main areas of risk: Middle and Lower Juba, Middle and Lower Shabelle, Hiran, Galgadud and south Mudug - Current areas of concern: Hiran and Central (Haradheere, Hobyo and Adaado; Maxaas); Juba (Badhadhe/Doblei, Beerhane); Middle Shabelle (Biyo-Cadde) POTENTIAL OUTCOMES INCLUDE: -Disruption of the movement of local cereals (and other commodities) within the country and across regional borders (for example, Ethiopia-Somalia) increasing market prices -Continuation of the Kenya-Somalia border closure disrupting cross-border trade and population movement -Restriction of livestock movement -Continuation of localised short-term displacement -Restriction of humanitarian space

47. 1. More Limited Spread than ’97 Outbreak 2. Direct Impact: “If “ occurs will be localized, not widespread 3. Indirect Impact: Minimal in the Short Term (Jan-June ’07) for Most Pastoral/Agro-pastoral Households  Deyr ‘06/’07 was a Mild El Niño, but El Niño 1997 was a Strong El Nino  1997 Deyr rains started earlier and finished late (continued in Jan & Feb.)  Amount of rainfall in Deyr ‘97 was significantly greater in amount  Duration, intensity, and extent of floods were much greater in 1997  Now pastoral areas are already drying up in Juba/Gedo (as rains stopped first dekad Dec.), which reduces the vector of spread  Currently very limited migration to/from Kenya and Somalia, but ‘97 Kenya livestock concentrated in Somalia  Good livestock conditions (from improvements in Gu ’06), as compared to 1997 when livestock conditions very poor (2 seasons of drought)  Currently, proactive mitigating actions by Kenya govt. (market & border closure, vaccination programs, etc.)  If livestock are infected it would be localized within pockets, not widespread throughout livestock population due to poor vector spread conditions (see 1)  Direct impact on pastoralists/agro pastoralist with RVF infected livestock could be great, but primarily prolong recovery,: o prolong recovery time of livestock herds (loss in drought) o Low livestock mortality of infected livestock (10%) o High rates of abortion (80-90%) o Abortion Risk Sheep/Goats in Juba/Gedo: Expect high kidding in Jan.-March ‘06, due to high conception in Hagaa (Sept.-Oct. ’06) o Abortion Risk for Cattle in Juba/Gedo: Expect Low calving Jan.-March ’07, due to low conception in Gu’06. High conception in Hagaa (Sept.-Oct., but high calving not until May/June ’07)  Decrease in ability to sell livestock  Decrease in productivity (milk, ghee)  High cost veterinary treatment  Stress ↑ social networks  Closure of Kenya Cattle Markets (Impact for Juba/Gedo Pastoralists): Minimal Impact in Short Term o Currently, pastoralists & agro- pastoralists are retaining cattle for restocking: & breeding, high cattle conception in Hagaa (Sept.-Oct ’06) o Mild Jilaal, low to no cost for water, fodder migration (limited need to sell cattle) o Normally, sell sheep/goat for cereals, not cattle  Limited impact on local markets and demand for camels and sheep/goats o Functional livestock markets/demand (Afgoi, Mogadishu, Baidoa, Kismayo, and others) o Sheep/Goats, generally sold within Southern Somalia (for food/& nonfood essentials) o Terms of Trade (sheep/goat to cereals) is significantly improved, and is expected to remain favorable over next few months.  Resilience of Somali Trade and Markets Proven o Livestock Ban ’98 & 2000 by Gulf States o Likely, that trade of Somali cattle through Mombasa will increase if Kenya NE markets remain closed

(Source: UNICEF, Jan 07) (R=2)  Serious (10-15%) with risk of deterioration in flood affected/AWD outbreak areas (Source: FSAU Nutrition Analysis Workshop, Jan 07).  Serious: Epidemic Increased seasonal malaria and diarrhea due to floods. AWD outbreak in 3 villages north of Belet Weyne (UNICEF, Jan 07).  Food sources (own production): Estimated total cereal production for Hiran (riverine and agropastoral) 6,640mt (94% of PWA, 1995-2005). However, estimated that 85% of Deyr season riverine sorghum and maize production has been lost due to flooding (NOTE: in Hiran, the Deyr season is considered the main agricultural season) (Source: FSAU post-Deyr ‘06/’07 Crop Assessment; R=1). Lack of or limited food stocks for poor households before the floods due to successive crop failure in Hiran (Gu ‘05 7% of PWA; Deyr ‘05/06 3% PWA; Gu ’06 30% PWA) (Source: FSAU Technical Series V:9; R=1). Estimated off season production: maize 2,400mt from 6,000ha; sesame 1,200mt from 6,000ha; cowpea 200mt from 2,000ha (Source: FSAU post-Deyr ‘06 /’07 Flood Impact Assessment; R=2) but with high risk of loss due to pests, seasonal overlap with potential Gu season flooding Food Sources (other sources): Estimated that for poor households that there is increasing reliance (from September 2006 onwards) on food aid though this is not quantified (Source: FSAU post-Deyr ‘06/’07 Assessment; R=2) (NOTE: see Dietary Diversity) Market Purchase: Although the price of sorghum has reduced from an all time high in June ’06 (SSh4,150/kg) the price in November ’06 remains higher than at any other time in the previous 6 years (SSh3,000/kg) due to limited cereal in the markets from successive seasons of below PWA local production (Source: FSAU Market Update – Jan’06; R=1). Currently, (January ’07) locally produced red sorghum (from Bay and Bakool) and yellow maize are not available in Belet Weyn. Cereal prices are not expected to increase dramatically over the next 4 months as the expected cereal (red sorghum) Deyr season supply from Bay and Bakool (228% & 398% of PWA 1995-2005 respectively) will lead to an anticipated decline in prices from February ’07 onwards (Source: FSAU post- Deyr ‘06/’07 Assessment; R=1) Income Sources: Flooding reduced agricultural employment opportunities for poor households due to the destruction of standing Deyr crops. (Source: FSAU post-Deyr ‘06/’07 Assessment; R=1). Though expected that agricultural opportunities will increase over the next 3 months in line with flood recession planting (for cereal crops (maize and sesame) and vegetable crops (onion, tomato, and peppers) (Source: FSAU post-Deyr ‘06/’07 Assessment; R=1). Income for poor households from sales of fodder (grass) is increasing though December 2006 prices are low compared to Gu 2006 (SSh200/bundle cf SSh500/bundle) (Source: FSAU post-Deyr ‘06/’07 Assessment; R=1) Destruction of latrines and shallow wells and contamination of water sources in riverine area due to flooding (Source: FSAU post-Deyr ‘06/’07 Assessment; R=2) No targeted destruction of agricultural or pastoral productive assets, though 10-15 deaths and an unknown number of injuries reported (Source: FSAU post-Deyr ‘06/’07 Insecurity Monitoring; FSAU post-Deyr ‘06/’07 Assessment; R=2) Hazards: Unreliability of off-season crops due to seasonal overlap (and potential for flooding) and pests; Insecurity in the region leading to restrictions in market access; Insecurity leading to restriction in cereal flows from Bay and Bakool; Decline in labour opportunities for poor households; AWD becoming pandemic Seasonal rainfall: Most of Hiran received 200-250mm RFE cumulative rainfall between Oct. to Dec. ’06, which is 150-200% of long term average, with some areas of the northwest receiving 200-300% (Source: FSAU Climate Update, January 2007; data from NOAA/USGS). Magnitude: Above normal (between 150-300% LTM) and significantly above normal (>300%). Rain gauge: total 277mm Belet Weyn town (Sep.-Dec.); 340mm Bulo Burti town (Oct.-Dec.); Jalalaqsi 400mm (Oct.-Dec.). Physical Capital: inundation of an estimated 30,000ha of which 50% was under crop before the floods (Source: FSAU post-Deyr ‘06/’07 Flood Impact Assessment; R=2) Financial Capital: Indebtedness: Average level of debt for poor households has increased from Gu ’06 to Deyr ‘06/’07 due to increased expenditure on agricultural inputs and food purchase both staple and non-staple.

Nutrition Analysis Workshop, Jan 07 ). Feeding centre admissions: TFC admissions indicating increasing admissions of severely malnourished children in Luuq and Belet Hawa in November and December though as new center in Belet Hawa, therefore increases in admissions expected independent of food security situation. Dollo admissions show slight reduction from November to December. (Source: GHC, Feeding Centre Statistics, December 06, R=2). Mandera TFC data shows low but increasing admissions of severely malnourished children, none from Gedo in last 3 months, normally cases from Gedo are admitted. (Source, AAH feeding centre statistics, December 07, R=2).  Seasonal increases in water-borne diseases including diarrhea and malaria exacerbated by flooding and contaminated water sources. (Source: FSAU, December 06, R=2)  Food sources (own production - riverine): No own-home cereal production in Deyr ‘6/7 in all Riverine areas due to flooding – (Note – Total cereal production of Deyr’06/7 for Gedo is 50% of PWA, which is rain-fed production only). No cereal stock at HH level due to three consecutive poor crop production seasons (Gu’06 67%, Deyr’05/6 14%, Gu’05 7% of PWA). Expected some off-season maize crop production in March-June’07; planted in Dec.06, Jan-Feb.’07 and anticipated harvest in March/April’07 (Sources: FSAU Off-season Crop production - Post-Deyr’06 Crop assessment: R=1)  Market Purchase: Cereal is available in markets and will continue to be available until June ’06 due to: bumper harvest in Bay & Bakool (228% & 398% of Deyr PWA in Bay & Bakool respectively) and average production for Bardera, Bulahawa & Garboharey (91%, 113% & 86% of Deyr PWA); Expected off-season maize crop (496 MT) in March-May’07 in Gedo. Cereal prices have declined from peak drought prices, are not expected to increase dramatically over the next 4 months. Prices (Dec.’06) are 63% of what they were on May ’06 prices but Deyr ’06 price is the same as that of Deyr ’05. Purchasing power is higher in December ’06 higher than December ’05 and is expected to increase over the next 5 months with increased labour demand (off-season labour opportunities). The TOT between cereal and labour in December ’06 is 173% of Dec.’05 – declined 42% from October to December ’06 due to low labour opportunities because of flooding. (Sources: FSAU Post_Deyr’06/7 Crop assessment: R=1; Market Update – Jan. ’06: R=1)  Market Non-Cereal Purchase: Non-staple food prices increased from Aug. to Dec. ‘06 due to low supplies caused by increasing fuel prices and disruption of transport and commodity flow by Deyr rains (Oct.– Nov ’06). Sugar, vegetable oil and diesel increased by 19%, 50% and 12% respectively between Aug. and Dec. ’06. (Source: FSAU Market Update, Jan. ’07 edition; R=1)  Income sources: Loss of Deyr ‘06/7 crop sales (0 production) to floods. Expected off-season maize crop sales (estimated production of 496 Mt) harvest and sales between March and June ’07. Expected off-season cash crops (sesame 52 Mt and cowpea 5 Mt), harvest and sale expected between March and June ’07, mainly benefiting middle and better-off HH. Loss of Deyr ‘06/7 seasonal labour from Oct. to Dec. 06 (weeding, harvesting, etc. due to flooding. Increased labour opportunities (especially for the poor) due to increased labour demand for off-season agricultural activities between January and May ‘07. Maize labour activities include planting weeding & harvesting and sesame is high labour demand activities of uprooting, piling threshing, packing, transporting and guards. (Sources: FSAU Post-Deyr’07 Crop Assessment: R=2)  Natural capital: Most of the region received rainfall of 300-400mm, while Dolo and Luq Districts received between 200-300mm, and parts of Garbaharey and Bardera between 400 and 5000mm. All regions received rainfall between 200-300% of Long Term Mean Pasture and browse are significantly above normal and well distributed throughout the region. Satellite imagery NDVI for last decade of December 2006 are significantly above long term trends or 167% of average NDVI for 1996-’05. Loss of top soil and erosion due to flooding and excessive and high quantities of rainfall.

Most recent assessment reported CMR of 1.28/10,000/day indicating alert levels (Source: FSAU led interagency assessment, Berdalle, Sept 06, R=1)  Critical nutrition situation which has indicated improvement from GU 06 and likely to continue to improve (15-20%). Rates of acutely malnourished (MUAC <12.5cm) children identified through rapid screening in December 06 - 9% with 26% at risk (12.5-13.4) in Baidoa. Berdalle indicates rates of 6% acutely malnourished children with 27% at risk of malnutrition, though GAM rates <10% high proportion of at risk indicates concern. In addition due to insecurity many areas not accessed so unsure of situation in Dinsoor. (Source: FSAU Rapid MUAC Assessment – Dec. ’06 R=2)  Seasonal increases in diarrhoea and malaria as expected.  Food sources (own production - agropastoral): Deyr ’06/7 production is 228% of Deyr PWA. Early access (in Nov-Dec) to green crops, such as maize and beans). Cereal stocks are available from carry-over stocks from Gu ’06 crop production (i.e. 98% of Gu PWA) with the exception of the poor due to repayment of high debts incurred because of poor/loss of crops in the preceding two cropping seasons (Source: FSAUPost-Deyr06/7 Crop Assessment: R=1)  Food sources (own production – SEP): Due to inadequate recovery from cattle losses of 15 to 25%) in jilaal’06 and very low conception in Deyr’05 and low conception in Gu ’06, but some but few cattle calving is expected Jilaal (Feb-March’06) and average to high calving in Gu ’07 (May-June ‘06). Cattle pastoralists have no or little milk for consumption due to high cattle loss (-15 to -25%) in jilaal’06 and very low conception in Deyr’05 and Jilaal ‘06; but some but few cattle calving is expected Jilaal (Feb-March’06 and average to high calving in Gu ’07 (May-June); (FSAU Post-Deyr’06 Pastoral survey + key informant account: R=1).  Market Purchase: cereals are available in markets and supply will remain ok due to the expected bumper harvest in Bay region. Sorghum price (Baidoa market) fell by 30% between May to Sep. ’06 and will continue to go down over the next six months due to expected bumper harvest in Bay region. Low cereal prices and rising livestock prices as well as high labour (agricultural) opportunities since Sep. ’06 favourably boasted the Terms of Trade between cereal and livestock and between cereal and labour. (Source: FSAU Post-Gu ‘06/7 Assessment: R=1; FSAU Market Update – Jan.06; R=1 )  Income Sources (Agro-pastoralists): Agro-pastoralists will have good income from crop sales and cash crop sales (sesame, beans and ground-nuts) due to the good crop prospects in Bay region: Deyr ’06 estimated 228% of Deyr PWA. Poor agro-pastoralists have access to high agricultural labour demand from expected high crop production in Bay region; (Source: FSAU Post-Dey’06/7 Crop survey: R=1)  Income Sources (Pastoralists): Livestock prices increased well after (all species) in markets due to high livestock demand.

Rains were 200-300% of long term average for Wajid and parts of Hudur, and between 150-200% for the rest of region. Most of Bay received 300-500mm RFE cumulative rainfall between Oct. to December 2006, which is 200 -300% of Long Term Average (Source: FSAU Climate Update, January 2007; data from NOAA/USGS). Rangeland Conditions: Pasture and browse are significantly above normal and well distributed throughout the region, as confirmed by both satellite imagery (NDVI) and ground truth by FSAU field assessments. Satellite imagery NDVI for last decade of December 2006 are significantly above long term trends or 180% for Bakool and 120% for Bay of the average NDVI for 1996-’05 (Source: FSAU Climate Update, January 2007, data from MARS/JRC). Increased availability and access to water for all livelihoods due to the good seasonal performance of Deyr ’06 rainfall. (Source: FSAU Post-Deyr ‘06/7 Assessment: R=1)  Financial Capital (agro-pastoralists): Poor agro-pastoralists will have opportunities of crop sales due to expected bumper harvest in Deyr ‘06/7; are benefiting from high agro-labour opportunities; are still indebted but repaid significant part of a large debt incurred in the drought period between Gu’05 – Gu’06 through Gu’06 crop products.
