My goodness I had no idea that the situation is this bad. The drought is really bad in in a few weeks it could easily turn into famine if we dont do something.

Let's all donate what we can to the people affected by this drought.

Walahi it breaks my heart to watch my fellow Somali people suffer like this. If only I could alleviate all their suffering, I would do it in a heartbeat

All this is happening yet people are bickering and arguing over fadhi ku dirir and politics

If the animals are dying in such large numbers then what will become of the people who used to own them? What will they eat? What will be their livelihood?

Ha loo gargaar dadkan walaalaheen ah. We could easily be in their place.

More effort is needed but so far I believe the SL people are doing excellent job but now it has spread.

It's not long to go. The worse is over.

We should see the rains Insha Allah in the next two weeks but we need to coordinate efforts better.

So far thousands and thousands of tankers have been sent to various areas.

It is already a famine and people are dying because of this drought

The regions that are most affected are the East and the West, but drought is evident across the region

The gov hasn't done enough in many areas not only in terms of drought but in infrastructure wise. Some places are so remote and almost inaccessible especially in Zeila area and eastern Sanaag.



The people have been sending thousands of tankers of waters filling up reservoirs but they need more help.

The army is taking part already but not sure what size.

Waran Adde just ordered the coast guards, fire fighters and the police to join efforts.

We will get through this as a community and as Somaliland. Have faith in Allah.

We surely need more awareness and future preparation. We should learn from this document this event very well so we know next time what to do.

We need to build more water points in every 100km the least.

We need more roads and early warning systems.

In the end we will come out as brothers and stronger community.
