Awrastaale looks like Ethiopia listened to you advise, not long ago you mention your Ethiopia to put Cunaqabateyn to South Somalia to close shabelle river

Ethiopia until now has reservoir canals in goday just like jowhar but this doesn't affect the river, it's bc of the jiilaal.

Wa ka xumahay dhibatada dadkan iyo xoolahaba.
Anigu waxna cid uma gaysan. Dowlada ET maha wa qadar Alle lakin future plans to dam it wa socdan.
Marki tas mesha timadana, both rivers will either dry up or see 70% decrease in water.
Hadi Konfuur sexatay iyaga iskugu wacaan.
I'm just aware of the region. Its vulnerabilities, ongoing projects, unresolved issues, etc, all that will have social, economical and political impact.
Ethio will soon start two irrigation dams on Shabelle and Jubba especially Jubba one will impact southern Somalia far more because the dam is bigger and its in higher altitude.
That coupled with el Nino could dry the river for good (el Nino is now reoccurring).
In an el Nino phenomenon, theoretically speaking the Somali lowlands were to recieve higher rainfall than Ethiopian/Oromo highlands, which are the sources of both rivers.
The reason Somali lowlands were to receive more rainfall than Ethiopian highlands is due to evaporation. When there is less evaporation then it means less clouds reaching the higher altitudes basically wa sida gadhi dalcad fulaya.
For ET then its necessary to dam the rivers at lowerlands meaning dhulka deganka Somalida bay isku fidiinayan.
If Oromo highland see low rainfall like last year (2015), where rainfall was 75% less than typical fall in some areas then that means the likes of Shabelle will see 75% less water.
Here is Ethiopian rainfall data for 2015
