Food security situation in Somalia

[Bohol]

South West region and Somaliland region are the most affected.

I can't take this seriously, everyone I've spoken to in Bay is telling me how this years harvest is the best in a very long time. I wonder how this sort of data is collected, do they have people in the countryside reporting on crop/animal health or are they just looking at weather patterns?

Nah there is a video of thousands of displaced IDPs. It is usually former nomads that are affected whose animals died not the farmers this time.

I can understand Somalia and other east African countries having food shortages but not Congo and the other central African countries. Those people live in a fricking jungle. How are they starving?

They need to pick up farming. All the major droughts that've happened in the south disproportionately affect nomads, whether it's the 2011 famine or even the civil war one. Farmers usually have crop reserves in 'silos' so they hardly feel the impact of the drought.

Somalia's population is too much. Let nature do its work.

They spend their time fighting each other over their diamond reserves when they could work together and be rich together.
