United Nations (UN) warned that the famine has spread to the sixth region of Somalia, because of the drought in the Horn of Africa, making about 750 thousand people are at risk of dying if no action is taken urgent.

In a statement, the Analysis Unit of the UN Food Security and Nutrition (FSNAU, for its acronym in English), said that four million people are in critical situation in Somalia.

'Of this total, about 750 000 at risk of dying over the next four months, "said the UN agency, to make a call to the international community to take urgent help.

Tens of thousands have died, of which over half were children. If the current level of response continues, the famine will continue to progress over the next four months, said FSNAU.

The agency recalled that less than two months ago it was estimated that those at risk of death in Somalia were about 450 000 and now the figure has increased by 300 000 over and continue to do nothing the number will increase.

To the thousands of Somalis currently affected, the statement said, could join another 50 mil-growing areas of Gedo and Juba, in southwestern Somalia, one of the regions most affected by drought, the worst in more than 60 years.

The FSNAU said that since the Somalia famine was declared in July only 59.0 percent of the assistance requested by the UN in all the countries of the Horn of Africa affected by drought has reached its destination, just over one billion dollars.

According to estimates by various humanitarian agencies of the United Nations, at least 12.4 million people in the Horn of Africa affected by drought and require immediate humanitarian aid.

The most affected country, reminded the agency, is Somalia, the statement declared the famine a sixth region, Bay, which is controlled by Islamist insurgent groups, making it impossible to get aid to the needy.

Mexico, Peru and Chile were now willing to provide a mechanism for evaluating democratic systems among member countries of the Organization of American States (OAS), an initiative that Argentina and Venezuela refused.

The Foreign Minister of Mexico, Patricia Espinosa, launched this idea during the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Charter, which brought in Valparaiso (Chile) to foreign ministers and heads of delegations of Member States of the OAS.

"We thought we could do an exercise test or monitoring peer, an exercise routine that might include special commissions visits to countries where they could make direct contact with the different actors of society" proposed Espinosa.

The idea, stated during a roundtable with the participation of all representatives who attended this meeting, endorsed both the Peruvian Foreign Minister, Rafael Roncagliolo, and his Chilean counterpart and host of the event, Alfredo Moreno.

The secretary general of the OAS, Jose Miguel Insulza, backed the initiative and said the organization is willing to do peer reviews "voluntary" and seek a methodology to do so.

At the press conference after the close of the meeting, which appeared with Insulza and Moreno Espinosa, the head of the OAS said the agency has similar mechanisms to examine the fight against drugs and corruption.

"Each country presents a report on legislation and enforcement and experts from other countries give comments and observations. There is a mechanism or invasive or complaint," said Insulza.

Instead, during his speech at the roundtable, representatives of Argentina and Venezuela rejected the suggestion.

"Argentina is not interested in delegating their responsibilities (...). The Argentina intends to continue exercising their right to monitor its internal political situation," said Chancellor of that country, Hector Timerman.

The minister also expressed his "concern for certain members of the OAS in recent years have turned to reporting on the behavior of other sovereign countries," which in his opinion "creates suspicion."

Meanwhile, the representative of Venezuela to the OAS, Roy Chaderton, argued that "people are the ones to decide how they like democracy and the coming of the inspector," because in his view "that has a background totalitarian."

During the debate there were also disagreements about the desirability of reforming the Democratic Charter, as advocated by the Chilean Government, to give a broader interpretation or supplemented by parallel resolutions.

For this last option is tilted the OAS secretary general, who said "reopen the letter would be a mistake" because it would "come to discuss all your text again."

"The Charter is fine as it is without prejudice to (...), I should improve some aspects," and better define in what cases, in addition to the coup, there is a serious breach of constitutional order, said Insulza.

This document was approved on September 11, 2001 in a special session of the Assembly of the OAS meeting in Lima, on the day of the terrorist attacks in the United States and a date that coincides with the coup that led Augusto Pinochet in Chile in 1973.

The instrument provides that the democratic order or disorder that seriously impairs the democratic order in a Member State, constitutes an "insurmountable obstacle" to the participation of government in the various bodies of the OAS.

The meeting organized to celebrate this anniversary, which ended Sunday, was inaugurated yesterday by the president of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, and was attended by twelve foreign ministers of the OAS member countries.

Katia hurricane weakened slightly Monday as it moved northwest across the Atlantic, but maintains a force of a category two storm.

On Monday morning, the maximum sustained winds decreased to 161 kph (100 mph), but the National Hurricane Center reported that it expected to strengthen and become more powerful a hurricane by Tuesday.

Todd Kimberlain, hurricane specialist, said there is less chance of Katia landfall but the storm's winds could still affect the United States east coast as it heads north.

Kimberlain added that the Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States and New England still must remain alert to Katia.

The vortex Katia was located at 645 kilometers (400 miles) north of the Leeward Islands and was moving northwest at about 19 kph (12 miles per hour).

'Katia' cause rough seas

It is expected that large swells and rip currents generated in its wake affecting the U.S. East Coast, Bermuda, the Greater Antilles and the eastern beaches of the Bahamas.

Therefore, it will cause rough seas 'Katia' may endanger human life, the NHC warned, based in Miami.

NHC forecasters say that it is premature to predict whether 'Katia' impact on the East Coast of the United States and turn toward the north, as suggested by projections to five days.

However, although it makes landfall on U.S. soil, 'Katia' yes cause rough seas and rip currents along the east coast this week.
