Once again, the whole world watches as famine stalks the countries of the
Horn of Africa. But in one of them Somalia that famine is genocide.
.
Islamist militant groups such as the Shabab that control vast areas of
Somalia have been killing aid workers and blocking hungry Somalis from
either receiving donated food or escaping to Kenya where they could be fed
with international aid.
.
Some 500,000 children are at risk of death in the coming weeks.
.
The death of every person due to denial of aid and to denial of the right
to flee from famine is the equivalent of genocide.
.
We strive hard to meet the responsibilities set forth by the United
Nations to protect civilians in times of war, mass migrations, internal
conflict, drought, earthquakes and other natural and man-made disasters.
.
Yet no one seems ready to call the refusal of the Shabab to allow aid
deliveries an act of genocide.
.
snip
.
To this observer, it seems that when the Shabab blocks aid to the starving
Somalis under its control that is not any more civilized that shoving them
into gas chambers.
.
And when the people fleeing famine at the rate of 1,500 per day, walking
for 30 days or more over desiccated landscapes offering neither water nor
shade, are blocked by the Shabab and routed into concentration camps so
they will not partake of evil Western aid, this is no different from the
roundups of Muslims in Bosnia, Armenians in Turkey and Jews in Poland.
