I think it is completely inappropriate that government officials are having lavish dinners, probably using taxpayers money (cashuuraha laga soo uruuriyo danyarta wafanka) when so many people in the country are literally starving to death. Both the foreign minister and Amina Ali should be ashamed of themselves.

The army is taking part already but not sure what size.
The armed forces are doing their part. Army barracks have donated their food rations to the people. They are also distributing aid through the regions. Another thing they are doing is burying animal carcasses to ensure that disease does not spread and that water sources are kept clean for people to use.

What we need is people with good visions and plans. We only deal with things as they come. We will forget this drought as soon as the first rain arrives and within four weeks we will see more animals and people dying in floods especially Dhagacbubuq or whatever it's called is going to take few lorries and qad pick-ups.

We know the routine by now. Dadkani wa xoolo.

My suggestion is the creation of Disaster Relief agency. It should be an independent and should deal directly with both aid agencies and international donors.

The disaster agency should not only work when there is disaster but all year round to study volatile conditions and put forward recommendations.

It should keep an active and relative database.

For example it should go assess Salal and say we recommend this and that.

There are such and such.

If I was in this Gov I do create agencies rather than Silanyo's useless and often repetitive committees. For example he puts the same minister in more than 5 committee projects thus overworking him or getting his focus away.

You need people whose daily job is that...relief.

Equally I do pass a law where every $100 the Diaspora sends to relatives or businesses/investment, the xawala deducts 1%, which then is transferred to the Agency.

This way we don't need to do every time fundraising we will automatically become akin to it and do our 1% sadaqo per $100.

If you sending $50,000, its mere $500 that goes towards cibado.

At the moment I believe we send anything between $700m to a $1b so you can imagine 1 percent of that going to the coffers.

That money would not only buy enough food and water but would provide for people who are giving their time and resources like all the truck drivers, the volunteers and so forth. We could have spare parts, tyres, mechanics, engine oil and all for these kind of missions for the volunteering trucks.

Also I do dug or drill a well in every 100km radius and reassess that until that 100km radius becomes 10 metres.

The govt should a pop up medical centres like 5 village per pop up everyday they visit the sick ..

The SL govt should suspend the voting register and use the money towards the drought

Has any of the 3 big politicians actually seen the disaster

Why isn't the medical community of Somaliland helping

Why aren't doctors visiting these remote areas

The govt and it's ppl have failed us

We will forget this drought as soon as the first rain arrives and within four weeks we will see more animals and people dying in floods especially Dhagacbubuq or whatever it's called is going to take few lorries and qad pick-ups.

That's the common Somali issue, there is also union at times of war or great strive, other then that people go back to sleep not just in the diaspora but also back home.

I have amassed about 1000 sacad over a decade, that pay average $20 a month, amounts to $20000 a month, this pays the soldiers, relief agency etc.

We had devastating droughts few month's back, everybody quadrupled up some more, each booyad holds 70L costing $100 dollar, bought 700 amounting to around 49000L to feed much of the affected areas in GMS, the power of just a single sub-clan that's organised.

But here is the greatest risk that's going to affect the Somali's back home in the next 2 decades, I am the youngest of the people that pays, everyone else is 40+ most 50+, most of the younger generations are very reluctant about sending anything home, they spend their money on shiisha and bashaal, for them the country is a god forsaken place.

I have tried everything I could to amass the youth for a decade, it's a lost cause, this is the greatest looming danger, remittance which is keeping those back home alive will diminish greatly if the politicians and people don't get their finger out of their arse next decade

The next generation don't give a shit about back home, they have none of that connection or recollection of memories that we have, and this is across the board, so when events like these happens in two decades, there will be massive casualties if something is not done now, with a further few decades Somali's being wiped of the map

We already have a miserly low populations, 250.000 children died in the last drought in Koonfur alone, this would have exceeded the million mark if the Turks didn't come to the aid, if your going to engage in fadhi ku dirir at least be a person that dips his hands in his pockets regularly for his people and generates ideas, which you do, as degenerate as I find you, at least I have great respect for that.
