Islamist guerrillas who control swaths of Somalia are banning food aid from
foreigners a posture that observers predict might cost millions of lives.
"This is yet another heinous crime starving people to death in the name of
religion," Omar Jamal, a New York-based official with Somalia's vestigial
government, said in an interview.

Bob Rae on the drought and famine in East Africa
Somalia's al-Shabab militants, already globally notorious for suicide bombings
and sharia courts that kill and maim alleged heretics, may well now be set to
facilitate famine on an epic scale.
Al-Shabab has gained ground by targeting Somalia's Transitional Federal
Government, the largely powerless local authority whose ministers face
widespread intimidation and possible death if they remain in the country.
This week, al-Shabab militants kidnapped a newly appointed female cabinet
minister who they let go only after extracting promises she no longer work for
the TFG. Last month, the country's interior minister was killed in a suicide
bombing by a female who was reportedly his niece.
In a country beset by two decades of anarchy and warlordism, these
al-Qaeda-linked fighters continue to make gains as a relatively cohesive
fighting force.
A spokesman for al-Shabab, which controls the bulk of Somalia's south, recently
told reporters its territories remained off-limits to groups such as the United
Nations. This statement reversed a pledge to open the lands up for famine
relief, a promise that had made the international aid organizations cautiously
optimistic that widespread famine might be averted.
"We are not guaranteeing safety for any agency that was previously banned from
working in areas under our control," Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage of al-Shabab told
the Daily Telegraph. "We shall also expel any agency that causes problems for
Muslim society."
He said al-Shabab leaders were "mistranslated" when they were quoted saying
that they would let in foreign agencies.
Somali has 3.7 million people who are starving because of the drought,
according to the UN. Because most live in the south, the UN says its food aid
is reaching only about a third of those who need it. The UN World Food Program
hasn't been present in south Somalia since January, 2010.
"We have conflicting messages. We thought we were being asked to come in and
resume our operations," Julie Marshall, spokeswoman for the World Food Program,
said in an interview. "We are appealing to the people that hold the areas to
allow us to come in."
The famine occurs as Somalia's TFG, which controls hardly any territory in
Somalia, is besieged by al-Shabab fighters.
Mr. Jamal, the TFG's first secretary to the United Nations, suggested the
international community should consider air dropping food onto the ground and
snatching up al-Shabab leaders on war-crimes charges. He further suggested that
because of the famine the TFG, a largely discredited authority lately
criticized for using child soldiers, should be better armed to fight al-Shabab
militants.
Very few aid agencies can work throughout Somalia, meaning the bulk of the
international aid is being routed to the north and to areas of the capital,
Mogadishu. Some aid organizations are able to get to the south through local
intermediaries. Others hope to exploit fissures that can exist within al-Shabab
leadership to get food into the south.
Yet this is not nearly enough to meet the huge and growing need. Hundreds of
thousands of starving Somalis have been trying to flee to adjacent countries on
long marches. Some perish during these long journeys, others survive only to
discover that borderland refugee camps are overflowing.
Somalis in the West fear the situation is growing more bleak daily.
"Considering the scale of the problem you might as well say nothing is going
in. They took food into Mogadishu today that's enough to feed 15,000 people.
What's that ? It's a pittance considering the scale of the problem," said Ahmed
Hussen, president of the Canadian Somali Congress.
There are no quick fixes to the famine, he said. But he added that "the
Americans have to get back into the game."
Washington has cut aid programs to Somali in the past few years, Mr. Hussen
pointed out, partly because of Treasury Department rules meant to block any
possible diversion of greenbacks to al-Shabab. The rules ought to be relaxed
for now given the scale of the ongoing famine, he said, adding there are legal
precedents for doing so.
