United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres met Somalia’s new President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed in Mogadishu Tuesday to start of what he calls an emergency visit to Somalia to highlight the country’s famine crisis, The Washington Post reported.
“People are dying. The world must act now to stop this,” the UN chief tweeted to announce his arrival in this Horn of Africa nation.
“We need to make as much noise as possible,” said Guterres. “Conflict, drought, climate change, disease, cholera. The combination is a nightmare.”
The UN leader urged international support to provide food and humanitarian aid to Somalia. “This hunger requires a massive response,” he said.
Welcoming the UN chief, Mohamed said: “My first priority is to address this drought crisis and my main priority is to make an appeal to the international community to help us.”
