<br><font size="3" face="Roman">Hi,</font>
<br>
<br><font size="3" face="Roman">I am finding it frustrating that I cannot
get decent satellite images of the famine struck regions of northern Kenya
and Somalia, I have taken it upon myself to add comments to any story in
the Independent newspaper that concerns this story. I am just pointing
out that with all the billions of dollars of aid that is slowly going to
the region that there are no publicly available maps for the region. With
the UN and the largest Aid Agencies going there, yet there is no discussion
about the necessity of maps to help these agencies or to start planning
for long term development. The fact that the refugee camp in Daadab has
been there for 20 years and yet there is no map of it.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="3" face="Roman">So I am asking for a little help. If you
see an article in a newspaper about the famine can you post a comment about
public maps and the availability of UN Satellite images. We all pay for
the UN so I would have thought that the images should be under a
public domain licence</font>
<br>
<br><font size="3" face="Roman">The Independent newspaper is here</font>
