Nigeria? Are you kidding me?

It's mainly the Muslim-nomadic majority northeast. It's the aftermath of Boko Haram and other conflicts.

These are the Hausa and Fulanis.

Beautiful people unlike the Bantus tho.

Here's a map of the drought in Somali regions. God help the people. It's a reverse of the 2011 drought in terms of the areas that areas affected.

ya right bari region has extreme drought according to your map but then again people came from as far as kilinka and Togdheer to have the rain in bari... besides we dont see any videos of bari people complaining of droght and hunger unlike in the South and further up in waqooyi

Its very accurate, the drought right now is hitting Bari, Sool, Sanaag, Nugaal, Togdheer the hardest. Especially in sool and togdheer. 40 people have died of dehydration in the past month alone in these two provinces.

The map got one thing wrong

The other province badly hit and wrongly claimed Crisis, was the Bakool state which has had 58 children die in Hudur region alone. It should be extreme red as well. It has gotten so bad that even Al Shabab has started doing banditry raids on poor civilians and herdera by seizing their livestock in Bakool that majority fled to neighbouring regions.

Otherwise its good.

There is a woman in somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
That keeps her will alive
That's how she's dying
She's dying to survive
I don't know what she's made of
I would like to be that brave
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
- She lives a life she didn't choose

There is a woman in somalia
The sun gives her no mercy
The same sky we lay under
Burns her to the bone
Long as afternoon shaddows
It's gonna take her to get home
Each grain carefully wrapped up
- Pearls for her little girl

God be praised
God be praised
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
