    I think now, we in the international community are belatedly wanting to show our solidarity with the Somali peoples and also do our best to help them move to better times. ↗

    I think the biggest challenge for Somalia has been the sense that it is a hopeless case of incomprehensible internal conflicts and there is nothing we can do. ↗

    I have been working, as emergency relief coordinator, on an international scale, very hard to build a wider alliance of partners in assistance efforts. ↗

    In a world full of competing emergencies and disasters, it really helps if there is an international locomotive that can help us bring attention - help us bring resources. ↗

    No amount of humanitarian assistance can protect people from being attacked. ↗

    Our assistance in Somalia has been remarkably effective and successful, and we have helped with very small resources - a large group of people and we can now do even more. ↗

    Secondly, the Government of Sudan should commit to the disarmament and control of the Janjaweed militia and ensure that the targeting of civilians ceases immediately. ↗

    The most important and urgent appeal we have to make is for an immediate cease-fire. Initial reports from the cease-fire talks being held in N'Djamena in Chad are not very encouraging. ↗

    We estimate that humanitarian agencies have access to about 350,000 vulnerable people in Darfur - only about one third of the estimated total population in need. ↗

    Did you know about Jan Egeland?

    On 28 July 2006 he proposed a 72-hour cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah in order for emergency relief to move the wounded and get food and medical supplies into the war zone. Initial response by the White House to Egeland's quote taken out of context by the press as a direct attack on the United States (which at the time had only donated $15 million) was very negative. In March 2008 TV2 aired another documentary entitled Sultbløffen (The famine scam) about the 2005–06 Niger food crisis.

    Egeland was the United Nations Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator from June 2003 to December 2006. He served as State Secretary in the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1990–1997) and was Chair of Amnesty International Norway.
