Darfur: No Lesson 1

Never go into Darfur without permission. We sent home. In summary here's what happened. I hope in the coming days to understand what happened, whether it was an overzealous government, new rules promoted by newly recruited officers or permits are not required by my organization. The result is that I made a long detour by air from Khartoum to Niala, El Geneina, El Fasher e.. return.
start but the beginning: started from Khartoum, the first image is a red sandy wind that envelops you when you arrive at Niala, capital of south Darfur. We have not even got off the plane, and after 10 minutes away again to El Geneina, near the border of Chad. The area most mangy in terms of violence and banditry. A bit ' throughout Darfur are suffering from this, but the proximity to the border makes it even more complicated.
My consultant tells me things from the old senttie: Before this conflict, the various ethnic groups were well together, resolve their disputes peacefully and the climate was fairly quiet (although conflicts over water in an area where it is scarce, There have always been). But the conflict and the political manipulations have created a climate of suspicion among the various groups, the large number of weapons in circulation has contributed the rest. Shooting is the fastest way to end conflict aun. The result: entire populations in refugee camps, and those weak institutional state that traditional in this so lose the pulse of the situation and can not be met, or more difficult.
In this context, we come in: not to bring food but to seek re restore confidence and a sense of community. Long processes, with difficulties to understand them even by the managers of the project and all because it offers a different way of working, closer to the people and less intrusive.
modesty, patience and, in a word "go-slow" approach. In El Fasher
had to do a training on conflict resolution but, after two hours of waiting without solving the problem, I have sent back. And so I made the visit as short memories in this land that is clayey, rich in bone-dry streams in this season, but relentless when it rains nell'allagare everything. Near El Geneina I speak of a land where they grow oranges incredible, with a rainfall of over 1000 mm per year. I need to check because it seems a lot more than it rains in northern Italy. But I was told that these areas are lands of contrasts.
I'm back in Khartoum, quiet in traffic, with a female poresenza more than you expect in a country that, according to some experts, would be ready to launch a rigorous application of the Sharia. The gender issue is a difficult subject, both in town and country, and only now, after almost ten months to begin to have access to first information. However now

FAO Reforço Temor de uma nova crise de alimentos no mundo

FAO reinforces fears of another food crisis in the world
Reuters 15/03/2011


The increase in global prices of staple foods increases the risk that the 2007-2008 food crisis in developing countries repeat itself, said yesterday the president of the Agency for Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN).
A jump in oil prices and the rapid consumption of global cereal stocks could be a harbinger of the supply crisis, said director-general of FAO, Jacques Diouf told Reuters in an interview during a visit to the UAE.

"The high price increases concerns and we are rapidly reducing the inventory," he said. "For years we have warned that it takes greater productivity and investment in agriculture."

The food price index of the UN in February rose for the eighth consecutive month to its highest level since at least 1990. All groups of commodities, except sugar, have increased in the last month.

Diouf said, until a few months, that global stocks of grain were at healthier levels than the restricted stock that triggered the crisis in 2007 and 2008. Last July, the inventory levels were 100 million tonnes higher than in 2007 but the economic advancement in developing countries and a return to growth in highly industrialized countries have led to further reductions.

Some countries in North Africa and the Middle East have made large purchases of grain to avoid conflict - partly stimulated by the high food prices - such as those that brought down the leaders of Tunisia and Egypt.

South Korea seeks to raise grain stocks and plans to buy loads of corn and other commodities in an effort similar to other Asian nations, concerned about high food prices and social unrest. In December, Mexico has purchased thousands of tons of corn in the futures market to hedge against high price of tortillas, which triggered clashes in the streets in 2007. "It's a reasonable thing to do, to protect themselves," said Diouf.

The recent rise in oil prices, which rose to about $ 120 a barrel last month, is exacerbating the increases in food prices, which can affect the ability of developing countries to cover its import needs, said Diouf. Oil prices have an impact on transport costs and agricultural inputs, including fertilizers.

FAO urged developed countries to reconsider their strategies for biofuels - which include large subsidies - as they have diverted 120 million tons of cereals for human consumption for fuel production.

"We are urging member countries to revisit their policies," said Diouf. "Having more energy does not mean you need to produce more biofuel."

Developed countries give $ 13 billion annually in subsidies and protection, to encourage biofuel production, said Diouf. In the States United States, the stocks of corn reached the lowest levels in 15 years, while major portions of the crop are used to produce ethanol. Avoid

another food crisis depends on the productivity of the crop in the next harvesting season, as well as the impact of economic growth on demand, Diouf said. But he also said that the increase in food prices and oil prices may adversely affect growth. He said it was too early to determine whether the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the largest grain importer in the world, have no effect on the total supply or demand for agricultural products
