Abiy Ahmed says Ethiopia has successfully used cloud seeding to produce rain in Northern Ethiopia

It will also benefit the Somali region. I hope they are prepared for the annual floods in the south, without adequate dam infrastructure on the Shabelle it's going to get bad. The technology is most likely from the UAE.

You are just pessimistic, if you are someone with charisma and have the right links you will get praises

I'm skeptical. They've been cloudseeding in the UAE for at least a decade and:

Cloud seeding hasn't done much for the UAE where it's apparently commonplace now. It was honestly colder and more rainy when I was a child about a decade and a half ago. Back then the mornings could get cold enough for you to see your breath and there were rainstorms that could last 1-2 weeks and even topple trees and I would wager at least 2-4 weeks worth of rainfall. Now it never gets that cold and rainfall over the last few years has seemed abysmal enough during winter to be probably less than a week's worth of rain during some years.

To be fair, the UAE is very arid and also suffering from loads of pollution and urban heat island effects. These methods maybe more successful in temperate and semi-arid Ethiopia with less pollution and urban heat islands.

I Think This Would Do Great In The Horn We Have The Soil For It If Little Rain Can Create Savvanah Then This Would Huge Be For Us

If we had an abundance of rainfall much of Somaliweyn probably could end up looking like Cal Madow, parts of the Nugaal valley and Salalah:

wtf they are turning the last untouched green pockets of land in northern Somalia into pastureland? Building homes, fences and instead of hiking these guys are taking land rovers making tracks and roads. First post I click today and I'm already

Green doesn't immediately mean suitable for agriculture, walaal. A fair amount of that is mainly good for pasture which, to be honest, is more nutritionally useful than grains, veggies and fruits. But yeah, they need to calm down with the SUVs.

2:49 on the first vid brudda. at least 50 goats, I swear I saw cattle somewhere too. IIt's just a matter of time when the big trees are all cut, all the shrubs are used and the rivers dry up and it will look just like hargeisa burco and all the rest of them. It was naturally defending itself before
but now NOW it's fucked and I've already accepted that and you should too. I cant wait till they clear 40x40 for a shitty masjid.

Shitty masjid?

Carrying on and ignoring that, that would have likely been the case a decade or two or more earlier but there have been conservation efforts in that area over the last decade or more which is in part why it still exists and is so green like it is now:



The local pastoralists and agropastoralists have been taught to sustainably cut down the trees and replant while methods like rotational grazing are catching on in Puntland and Somaliland:



A lot of nomads are slowly being settled into ranchers and farmers as well. We'll be okay, inshallah.
