THE HAGUE Joel Armia Jets Jersey , Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders urged countries to cooperate in dealing with the impacts of climate change on security during his opening speech at the first annual Planetary Security Conference in The Hague on Monday.


""I hope this conference is the start of something that happens more often and regularly,"" Koenders said. ""Climate and peace are intimately linked. Climate change forms a grave threat to security, especially in countries that are already fragile. That's why nowadays diplomats also need to view their work through a climate lens.""


Around 300 policy makers and experts from over 70 countries gathered at the Peace Palace to discuss the effects of climate change on international security. A large part of the two-day conference will be devoted to consultations in 12 working groups, focusing on the impact of climate change on food security, migration, Arctic security and sea level.


""We need to work together and help each other, because we face a massive challenge,"" Koenders added. ""In today's world, changes to the climate and the environment are overwhelmingly man-made. And those changes continue to affect peace and security.""


""Climate change will put pressure on the world's economic, social and political systems,"" he continued. ""The most serious risks will emerge when the impacts of climate change overburden weak states.""


By the end of this month the world will meet again in Paris at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21), from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11, in which a new international agreement on climate change is set to be signed.


""One month before the world meets in Paris, we are reminding ourselves what is at stake,"" Koenders said. ""We hope and trust we will reach an agreement that is ambitious and meets the world's expectations.""

UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- The UN humanitarian chief, Stephen O'Brien, on Thursday released 17 million U.S. dollars from the Central Emergency Response Fund to support people affected by the worst drought in Ethiopia in decades, a UN spokesman told reporters here.


""The El Nino global climactic event has wreaked havoc on Ethiopia's summer rains,"" UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said at a daily news briefing here. ""This comes on the heels of failed spring rains, and has driven food insecurity, malnutrition and water shortages in affected areas of the country.""


O'Brien said that ""a timely response to the emergency is critical, and that if we don't act today, we face an even graver situation tomorrow, with more immense needs in 2016.""


The number of people who need food assistance in East Africa is forecast to increase to more than 22 million at the start of next year, with 15 million of those in Ethiopia alone.

RIO DE JANEIRO, March 30 (Xinhua) -- Italy-based defenders Rodrigo Ely and Maicon have forgone the chance to represent the Azzurri by swearing their allegiance to Brazil.


Ely, 21, and Maicon, 22, are the latest Brazilian-born dual nationality holders to be identified by the Brazilian football federation in a bid to stop a talent exodus to other international teams.


Centre-back Ely, who plays for Avellino in the Italian Serie B, was called up for Brazil last November, two years after representing Italy's under-20s.


""I have played for Italy but when I was called up for Brazil's Olympic team my heart spoke louder,"" Ely was quoted saying by the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper on Monday.


Right-back Maicon, also selected by Brazil's under-23 coach Alexandre Gallo last November, plays as a right-back for Livorno, also in Italy's Serie B.


He said he has turned down several invitations to play for the Azzurri in a bid to pursue his dream of representing the Selecao.


Both Ely and Maicon have lived in Italy since the age of 15.


Among Brazil-born players to have switched nationality in the past decade are Diego Costa (Spain), Thiago Alcantara (Spain), Pepe (Portugal), Thiago Motta (Italy) and Rodrigo (Spain).


On Saturday Gallo called up Belgium-born Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira for an Under-20 World Cup warmup tournament in Austria next month.


The 19-year-old, whose parents are both Brazilian, has represented Belgium at under-15, under-16 and under-17 level.

MOGADISHU, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- Somali Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke on Wednesday accused neighboring countries of interference in the forthcoming presidential elections which has attracted 24 candidates.


Sharmarke told a news conference in Mogadishu that there is a political agenda in which troop contributing countries are involved to push for a particular candidate in the elections which will be held on Feb. 8


"We are in a very sensitive situation at the moment, we are in election, there is a heavy pressure and interference from foreign countries, in particular, in some neighboring countries, we need them to respect and avoid interference to enable us decide our future," he said.


However, the outgoing Somalia premier did not name the particular countries but only said are countries which provide security assistance to Somalia.


"Such countries provide security assistance to our country, but they must not be involved in our elections. They should let our members of parliament a free hand to vote. We are a sovereign state," Sharmarke said.


Some 24 candidates will be contesting for the presidency in the Feb. 8 after several delays that were occasioned by clan differences and elections of members of both houses.


The incumbent President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, his Prime Minister Sharmarke and former President Shariff Sheikh Ahmed are among some of the leading candidates duly cleared for the race.
