Is Saudi Arabia more green than Somalia

[Samaalic Era]

Somalia is the only semi-arid country on the equator, it isn't green by any means, our lands are mostly barren. 80% of Somalia looks like this.

The fertile lands are in the south, which is where Al-Shabaab is. We do have our coastline though, which is very valuable.

You would be surprised that you can farm even in a place like Mudug. I had a relative who went there last year to Hobyo and its surroundings and there were some locals engaged in small scale farms. The land just needs water and care and you can farm anywhere in Somalia

Oh, for sure, It's definitely possible to farm if there is enough stability in the area and dedication.

Even though, My ayeeyo owns a farm in Xaradheere and manages it despite the area being Shabaab controlled, may Allah preserve her

Somalia needs irrigation systems and Israeli desalination plants.

Xaradheere has great potential, I'm sure it will be a key city in GM in the coming years

Yeah one desalination plant cost 100 million. They can easy install many and run them when oil gets drilled.

But it requires somalis with little knowledge to take a backseat. How many people would cry at assistance from israel?

Israeli assistance is no problem, but I remember the company installing these plants is not Israeli but American or European.

The largest desalination plants in the world

• Ras Al Khair, Saudi Arabia: 1,036,000 m3/day.
• Taweelah, UAE – 909,200 m3/day.
• Shuaiba 3, Saudi Arabia – 880,000 m3/day.
• Sorek, Israel – 624,000 m3/day.
• Rabigh 3 IWP, Saudi Arabia – 600,000 m3/day.
• Fujairah 2, United Arab Emirates – 591,000 m3/day.
