Droughts and famine issues.
True, as for floods, a proper drainage system would help prevent cities from overflowing, it also brings locusts as well, that topic needs a thread of its own but its important that we come up with ways to deter them from coming and eating up all the crops
- Lack of Personal Responsibilities.
- Lack of self improvements. Cater to base insticts
- Lack of empathy for your neighbors.
- Selfish
- Screwed by abuse of Culture norms & misinterpretation of religion
- non hard worker. Criminal mentality of get rich fast
Remedy to fix all these problems?
A correct practice of Islam religion. Not the fake one mistaken for Somali Culture or Arab Culture

What do you think caused these problems? I personally believe the excessive consumption of khat plays a role in this
Unfortunately a lot of us are shortsided unable to look at the bigger picture past tribal lines, I am curious as to how we would be able to rejuvenate these seasonal rivers and use them to our advantage.We got so many dead rivers on the Somali peninsula we could bring back to life but somalis are fighting over water wells in the 21st century.

It’s not that serious
Lack of open mindedness (or is it creativity?) everyone is expected to be the same, act a certain way. Anything outside of this is not appreciated. Even when it comes to business ventures everyone deals with the same merchandise, same everything, the next establishment will literally have the same products. Not trying to be rude btw, it’s just something I noticed.

Personally, I think it's the lack of motivation. A century ago, when our future was bright, many Somalis took the initiative to make a change and better our future. Right now, though, it is not looking good, lol.
You have to remember that Somalis just came from a hellish civil-war. I don't think there has been a country that witnessed a civil-war more deadlier than Somalia (in recent history). We need to show them hope, imo. If you told Somalis right now that Somalia would become a first world country instantly, with the exception that they drop qabiilayad, they would do it in a heart-beat.

I don’t know the exact logistics but it can be done. . If china can regreen an area that is bigger than Somalia then what’s stopping Somalis doing the same.
Increase the Jubba and Shebelle river water flow.
Turn the Togdheer to a longer lasting water body, creating cultivable land in the nugaal valley
Allowing terrace farming in the gulf of Aden and Daroor valley
Lakes in Galgudug feed from ogaden basin rivers. Lakes in central Sanaag feeding the Togdheer ,and Daroor rivers, making a lot of money for tourist destination that can rival the Maasai Maraand and Mombasa at the same time, since it's a natrue reserve for animals and has a beach and marine life.
Rivers can beautify cities too, making Hargesia, Burco and Garowe into mini londons with rivers cutting through forests.

I would say from a culture stand point, the lack of individuality/herd mentality is a plague. Asha had a 30k wedding so now Sumaya needs a 50k one even though she & her husband can't afford it. Abdi 1 has 10 kids and 3 wives, so Abdi 2 needs 12 and 4 wives even though his previous 10 are in poverty. Somalis malls all sell the same cheap products, and own the same unclean dugsis. Somali children all copy one another and you have so many talented children wasting their youth by copying their friends.
It's almost as if this copy-cat culture is ingrained in our society. Not only is everyone the same, everyone is copying the same cheap mannerisms.

I could see how circumstances Somalis back home faced in the past and present could make them feel unmotivated, do you have any other examples of reasons for having hope?
