The journey through life begins there where streams of abandonment twist and writhe their way. Forgotten earth, dust clouds swirling in the desert wind, children, women, innocents who struggle day by day for survival in a land riven by piratry and the terrorism of Al Shabab. Somalia lives on, forgotten, trapped in a noose of extreme drought and poverty that has unleashed the drama. More than 6.7 million beings need help, urgent help. Somalia does not weep – the extreme drought dries its tears, Somalia bleeds to death. The desert encroaches with nothing to stop it. From a cycle of drought once in a decade, Somalia now suffers it constantly.<\/p>\n
Some 60% of Somalis are semi-nomadic or fully nomadic shepherds With their crops shrivelled and dead, the lack of food and water has provoked the death much of their livestock, the mainstay of their livelihood. Thus, the flight of many families abandoning their homes.<\/p>\n
The dry seasons, stretching long and profound, then sudden cyclonic, torrential and devastating rain storms, all contribute to the onward march of the desert, bringing inhuman living conditions to the populations of that outermost, most eastern country on the Horn of Africa. The hand-in-hand twin scourge of severe malnutrition and death. Somalia exudes souls with no future.<\/p>\n
Migratory flows within the continent are constant. In the past, the colonizers located frontiers where flocks once moved freely. Now these flocks and their shepherds are the climatic refugees that no-one acknowledges. The combination of climate change and back-turning on the part of First World Nations, has found in these most weakened peoples, the perfect target for razing without mercy, for advancing without limit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38427,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[],"event_type":[191],"event_type_2":[],"class_list":["post-38136","ajde_events","type-ajde_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_location-sala-exposiciones-salvador-de-madariaga-en","event_type-2018-exposiciones_en"],"yoast_head":"\n
