A/HRC/24/40 observers is being planned to monitor the situation and protect the civilians. Many voices in the Government of Somalia are calling for the withdrawal of the Kenya Defence Forces. 68. On the humanitarian side, the first multi-year Consolidated Appeal for Somalia (2013-2014) was launched. The Independent Expert is concerned that, as at 22 April 2013, out of a total appeal of US$1.3 billion only about $184 million (14 per cent of requirements) had been received. The multi-year Consolidated Appeal is aimed at enhancing the resilience of vulnerable people to withstand future shocks, and resource mobilization is particularly critical this year (2013) to allow for the necessary programming. The recent gains remain fragile and reversible. 69. In early 2013, the Government announced its plans to relocate all IDPs in Mogadishu to three new sites in the outskirts of the city. It has recently confirmed that IDPs would be permitted to stay there for two to three years. The Mogadishu relocation task force is reported to have finalized plans for mine clearing, surveying and preparation of the envisaged sites. 70. The Federal Minister for Human Development and Public Services, Mariam Qasim, and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) have launched the Go-2-School Initiative (2013-2016): Educating for Resilience. One million children and youth who are currently out of school are to be enrolled between 2013 and 2014. A number of key donors have already underwritten the initiative, but additional donor support and funding from the new Global Partnership for Education (GPE) are crucial. 71. On 11 July 2013, the Somali Cabinet passed a draft media law for consideration by the Parliament. While this is a welcome development, the immediate reaction of the National Union of Somali Journalists and others is that the draft law contains a number of articles that would restrict freedom of opinion and expression and hamper the independence of the media. The Independent Expert, together with the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, has expressed grave concern about the proposed legislation in a joint letter to the Federal Government, fearing that it might lead to extreme repression of the right to freedom of expression and media rights. 72. Numerous attempted and actual assassinations of journalists continued to be carried out in Somalia during the reporting period. To date in 2013, 5 journalists had been killed; in 2012, 18 journalists/media workers were assassinated, although none of these cases resulted in the prosecution of suspects. B. Developments in Puntland and Somaliland 73. Compared to the south-central region and despite the tense situation in the regions of Sool and Sanaag, there are clear signs in Somaliland and Puntland of social and economic progress, with expectations of a brighter future emerging from ongoing oil explorations. However, political conflict, security concerns and the fight against terrorism are having a negative impact on some basic human rights, including the rights to justice and to freedom of expression and of the media. 74. In Puntland, the endorsement by the Parliament of the request for a one-year extension of the Government made by President Abdirahman Farole, which took effect on 8 January 2013, caused further tension between the ruling party and the opposition. The opposition continues to simmer and the 61-member Puntland Salvation Council established by the opposition has made the situation in Puntland fragile and unpredictable. 75. In May 2013, more than 600 soldiers of the Darawish forces employed by the government of Puntland abandoned their positions in the Golis mountain range (where they 14
