Can cloud seeding create snow in Somalia?

Like mountainous areas in the north like daalo, sheikh, galgala etc.

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.

There's little proof that cloud seeding actually works.

You can't trust Somalis with snow. They'll probably start eating it off the ground

waste of technology, why do you care about pretty snow when there isn't enough roads or water

I just want more rivers and green mountains

Now this seems actually possible. I think Somalia can definitely be greened and/or "regreened". There have already been initiatives like what Adeso does at times to do this and I've spoken about what other countries have done and ideas like what Allan Savory proposes. I think it's perfectly possible to turn a huge portion of Somaliweyn into grasslands and forests and that will probably increase rainfall and create temporary or even some permanent new riverbeds. We're lucky in that most arid Somali lands are flatlands like this:

Rather than dune deserts like in Arabia which you can only find in some places. Much easier to work with for turning into pastures and whatnot. Inshallah, we can make much of Somalia resemble places like the Nugaal valley, Cal Madow, some of the interior of the northwest, and the river basin areas of the south.

We need to somehow find a way to make rivers or increase the size of them. Inshallah the animals that escaped during our period of uncertainty come back I can’t wait to see more elephants and zebras roaming about.
