Historie

The Somali Famine of 2011 stands as one of the most devastating humanitarian crises of the 21st century. It resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people, the majority of whom were children, and displaced millions of others. The famine, which lasted from mid-2010 to early 2012, was driven by a combination of environmental, political, and social factors. This chapter will examine the key aspects of the crisis, providing an understanding of how it emerged and what made it so catastrophic.

The roots of the famine can be traced to a severe drought that affected much of the Horn of Africa in 2011. The drought, one of the worst in decades, was exacerbated by irregular rainfall patterns linked to climate change. Somalia, already a country struggling with inadequate infrastructure and poor governance, faced dire consequences as crops failed, livestock perished, and food supplies dwindled to critical levels. The lack of sufficient rainfall and water sources left millions without the means to grow food or sustain their livelihoods.

However, the drought alone was not the sole cause of the famine. Somalia had been suffering from ongoing conflict and instability for years. The rise of militant groups, particularly the Al-Shabaab insurgency, contributed to the breakdown of essential services, such as food distribution and medical care. The instability also hindered the ability of international aid organizations to access those in need, which only deepened the crisis. The government’s weak control over large portions of the country and its inability to respond effectively to the disaster further complicated the situation.
