Wow, if Central Somalia has this farming potential imagine the South with perennial rivers. Somalia truelly has massive potential, it just needs stability and right management.

Not bad. Do they water all those plants from the tiny well in the first video?
I see they are not using drip irrigation. They may want to employ that method in the future to use whatever little water they have more efficiently.

^ That well looks strange for a well, I think it might be a reservoir. Herders usually use wells for some reason, but farmers in those regions typically rely on reservoirs.

That looks a lot like a reservoir. They were also common in Shabelle and Jubba.
Most large-scale commercial farms had large reservoirs, specially cotton farms near Jilib & Jamaame.
