It's possible to re-green Somalia...look what they did in Tigray in Ethiopia. All that is needed a stable government that can implement change.
YesAre each of those dots villages?
Lol Somalia has plenty of arable land. Blame the people not the country.
No, it has been semi arid for the past 1000-1500 years. Before that, yes.Somalia was green
Time to develop nuclear weapons and destroy these mountains stealing our rain.Somalia is cursed by the Ethiopian highlands that create a rain shadow and capture much of the moisture that may have made Somalia as green as South Sudan. The only district in Somalia that averages above 600 mm of rain per year is Badhaadhe in the extreme south. Even there, rates of evaporation are very high and drought is sometimes severe. The only option Somalis have to secure a stable environment is to live alongside the river valleys. Everywhere else is marginal and will become even more marginal as time passes.

Yaa damn right Masha'allah, God bless our ancestorsWe don't only live in Mudug and Galgaduud. And we got rivers and lush green land. Say MashAllah.
Apparently the reason why the coast in Sanaag is also very dry is due to the very same reason.True it is due to the Ahmar mountains. They need to be demolished.
