What have they done to all the trees on the Kismayo - Afmadow road being built
- Thread starter bidenkulaha
- Start date
It was like this when it was liberated from shabab in 2012 from the pictures I have seen. The trees were first cut and commercialized in the 90s by the JVA using galjecel charcoal burners and other giir giir. Shabab kept the same policy until government soldiers and RKB brigade liberated which halted charcoal burning.
Its a damn shame what has been going on.

The route just outside of Kismayo has always been hawd. the JL ministry of environment should prioritize this area to restore lost forest cover. If this road is tarmacked it will make it easier to plant new trees alongside this highway. Many new trees are being planted north of Kismayo. Next should be west of Kismayo towards Afmadow & Badhaadhe in’sha’allah.
Your uncle hiraale and his ceyr partners did this indha adeega reer muduga meesha kala tag.Wallahi Geedonaar wa inkaar imtixaan ah I fucking hate this man so much. He has ruined JL environs

Interestingly unlike the claims of many, charcoal still looks like it’s exported to UAE/Oman.
This was the minister of Climate Change/Environment on a visit to JL.

This has been debunked many times. Americans, United nation and amisom are all in kismaayo. These are the grounded charcoal.

This was last year when Rooble suspended the Minister who green lit charcoal ships to Oman. It’s fair to assume to green lit ships that the charcoal is already there.

We know where it came from
Why would N&N let madobe eat few millions from charcoal when they blocked all his funds? The ships are usually dhows so they could be from barawe for all we know.This was last year when Rooble suspended the Minister who green lit charcoal ships to Oman.

NN never had control over Kismayo port. Oman and UAE ships leave the port frequently. The biggest charcoal importers.
Hutus have made the country barren a massive city like xamar still using charcoal that’s 3 million people. This is where most of the charcoal is going a few ships to oman is nothing compared to this. Ceyr marexaan and galjecel need to put in Hague for environmental crimes.

N&N has been making propaganda against Jubbaland and it has been debunked many times.
Here’s a large field of charcoal that was left behind by AS in Baraawe. Baraawe & Muqdisho are the 2 biggest ports currently being used for charcoal exports.

Do you not know the size of these UAE/Oman ships? Each of those trucks you see is a small fraction of what gets onto the cargo ships.Hutus have made the country barren a massive city like xamar still using charcoal that’s 3 million people. This is where most of the charcoal is going a few ships to oman is nothing compared to this. Ceyr marexaan and galjecel need to put in Hague for environmental crimes.
A moderately large cargo ship can carry 18,000 40ft containers. I’m confused how you are blaming Hawiye for just being consumers of charcoal when we wouldn’t be if the supply wasn’t so great coming from Jubbaland.
It’s called urbanization bud

Somalia needs its trees to restore landscapes and livelihoods
When the world celebrated World Environment Day on June 5, 2022, in Somalia the celebration was missing. The country has little to celebrate: Somalia is vulnerable to, and highly impacted by, climate change. It has experienced more than 30 climate-related hazards since 1990, including 12...
JULY 27, 2022
Between 2001 and 2021, Somalia lost 429,000 hectares of tree cover, the equivalent to a 4.9% decrease in tree cover in almost the same period, and to creating 840,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions.
Somalia’s economy greatly depends on its natural capital: land, rivers, forest, sub-soil assets, and marine resources of fish.
Without degradation, the estimated value of Somalia’s land resources would be US$222.3 billion.
Trees are an essential part of Somalia’s natural capital. Threats come from two main, interconnected directions: recurrent drought and inappropriate land use.
Since there is a close relationship between the performance of the Somali economy and the health of its natural capital, this does not bode well for Somalia’s future. The country’s forests are disappearing. These, although mostly classified as low-density, contain 394 million metric tons of carbon in living biomass. Somalia lost about 686,000 hectares of forest between 2000 and 2017, an annual loss that equals at least 6% of all the trees lost in Africa, often from using land for livelihoods made in, for example, charcoal production.
This meant the loss of 205 million trees, the equivalent of creating five million tons of CO₂ emissions. The main theatre of forest loss is the southwest, where the Islamist al-Shabaab group holds territory. After livestock, charcoal is now the second-most important export from Somalia with up to 250,000 tons of it produced annually.
