Liberia has a poor, underdeveloped economy due largely to civil war from 1989-1996. Agriculture, specifically crops like rubber and palm oil, and raw materials like iron ore and diamonds, form the backbone of Liberia's economy. In recent years, the mining and machinery sectors have grown due to foreign investment. However, the majority of Liberians still rely on subsistence agriculture. Future economic prospects depend on continued foreign investment and growth in trade, as well as implementing sound economic policies and rebuilding infrastructure.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

33. Malnutrition:
Even if a person is getting enough food to eat sometimes those foods are not the right foods, which
leads to malnutrition.
Malnutrition can make daily life difficult for people living in developing countries child’s learning
abilities become lower and physical work becomes extremely tiring and impossible to perform.
According to UNICEF there are 200,000 malnourished children in Somalia.
Malnutrition causes generalized Edema which is the abnormal swelling and buildup of fluid in the
body’s tissue, mainly in younger children.
Accordingly, acute malnutrition cause Somalian children to suffer from diarrhea, anemia, malaria,
dehydration, high fever and vomiting
In fact, 50,000 cases of severe acute malnutrition in Somalia are at risk of death.

34. Role of United Nations:
• UNICEF supports stabilization centers in Somalia which help malnourished
men, women and children gain access to resources that are not normally
available to the community.
• The stabilization centers admit severely malnourished children under the age of
five.
• Once the child is healthy he or she can be discharged from the stabilization
centers.
• Immediately after the child returns home the care at the outpatient therapeutic
centers begins.
• These are located close to the child’s home and continue to provide services to
the child and the family.
• Only children well enough are discharged from the stabilization centers.
• The therapeutic centers’ services include a basic nutrition package which
promotes treatment and the prevention of disease and illness.
• The packages contain micro-nutrient support, along with maternal nutrition
information.
• Moreover, the centers encourage the proper use of handling and cooking food as
well as, managing child illness and immunizations.
• The children are also given a peanut-based paste to help maintain proper
nourishment along with vitamin A and deworming.
• Mothers in Somalia do not have access to basic human necessities tablets

35. • UNICEF aims to end this issue by the end of 2014. In fact,
UNICEF’s goal is to give over 90,000 vulnerable people the
basic foods and non-food needs.
• The mothers will attend health and nutrient workshops
provided by the therapeutic center to help promote a
healthier lifestyle throughout their communities.
• In fact, UNICEF’s goal is to give over 90,000 vulnerable
people the basic foods and non-food needs.
• The mothers will attend health and nutrient workshops
provided by the therapeutic center to help promote a
healthier lifestyle throughout their communities.
• Furthermore, giving information on subjects like proper
hygiene standards and washing hands regularly will help
reduce the spreading of disease and illness.
• Currently, UNICEF hope to administer 1,900,000 children
under the age of five with the polio vaccine.
• as well as 300,000 children under the age of one with the
measles vaccine.
• These vaccines will lead to more longevity for the people of
Somalia.
• Once these methods are instilled in the lives of Somalian
women and children the communities will continue to
promote and prevent these issues from reoccurring.

39. The Extermination:
On May 27, 1988 Siad Barre gave instructions to exterminate all members of the
Isaaq tribe.
Military forces under the command of Mohammed Said Hersi began aerial and
artillery bombardment of the three cities in which the Isaaq lived: Hargeisa, Berbera
and Burro.
Many bodies were buried in mass graves. The city of Hargeisa, which held some
350,000 inhabitants before the attack, was completely abandoned. The whole area
was laid waste – animal herds were confiscated, agriculture destroyed, and mines
laid everywhere.
More than half a million Isaaq fled to Ethiopia; some half a million more lost their
homes and became internally displaced persons in the northern region.
Source: www.wikipedia.com
40. After the Slaughter:
After the three main cities of northern Somalia were destroyed and abandoned, they
were resettled by members of the Ogden tribe and other tribes close to the
government.
300,000 Isaaq remained in refugee camps in Ethiopia and thousands more fled
Africa entirely.
In 1990 there has been no stable government in Somalia; hundreds of thousands of
Isaaq returned to northern Somalia and declared the independence of Somaliland, a
piece of land about one-third of the size of Somalia.
Somaliland functions as a distinct state with democratic elections, its own currency
and governing institutions located in the capital city of Hargeisa, but it has not gained
official recognition by any country.

42. The United State And Genocide Of ISAAQ
In 1998 the US Department of Defense made an official statement
regard in the Somali government's policy towards the Isaaq tribe.
It explains the balance of forces in the Somali civil war, presents the
reasons for war between the Ogaden and Isaaq tribes, and reports on
the artillery attacks and aerial bombings of the cities
It reports that only in 7 months, 5,000 Isaaq people were killed. In the
statement, the concept of genocide is never mentioned apart from the
opening question and it explicitly spells out that Somalis, including
those of the Isaaq tribe, are not eligible for refugee status.

Mogadishu between two factions namely Somali national alliance
(SNA) & breakaway faction of united Somali congress (USC).
Almost 4.5 million peoples in Somalia (over half of estimated
Somali population) were threatened to severe mal-nutrition and
malnutrition-related diseases.
Furthermore, it was estimated that perhaps 300,000 people were died
since November 1991 and at least 1.5 Million lives were on
immediate risk.

physical destruction causing a dire need for emergency humanitarian
