[government]

If only we'd store this water so that when the dry season we don't get a famine

 

[Malikfiqi]

First drought now this make up your mind Somalia

 

[lone]

Is all of it from rain?

 

[Basra]

is it a blessing or a curse?

 

[yume]

Which part of Somalia?

That's a bad idea actually. The water is not clean and contains many diseases

 

[Saalax Bidaar]

Somalia is either a giant swimming pool or resembles the surface of mars. Crazy

 

[Buuq]

Ya allah please make it easy for the people back home

 

[felloff]

somalis build to close to the riverside, they can't afford water barriers like london.

 

[felloff]

also roads in somalia should be permeable to water, effectively allowing water to seep back into aquifers

 

[father of the camel]

Which part of Somalia?

South and central somalia .mostly beledweyne and surrounding areas have been hit the hardest.baidoa and jubbaland are also affected .

We need a competent government for that. Sewage systems should be prioritised and water treatment plants.

If Somalis were smart people, we would have created barriers and other stuff to hold fresh water and store them in a certain location where we can use them for agriculture or drinking water. Somalia always has floods every year with seasonal valleys becoming full of fresh water but Somalis are too stupid to black the fresh water and store it. Instead, the fresh water just floods towards the Indian ocean.

I think the Ajuran Sultanate did that.

 

[MARAQ DIGAAG]

Damn

 

[Yaquub]

I think the Ajuran Sultanate did that.

We are going backwards as time progresses. Facepalms

 

[Factz]

I think the Ajuran Sultanate did that.

Ajuran Empire were truly ahead of their time. They never suffered from droughts and were eating good and were really wealthy. Compare that to southern Somalia now who aren't centralized and suffering? Ajuran Empire governance lasted almost 500 years and Somalia from 1960 to 1991?

Somalis are a shame to their noble ancestors.

Lack of centralisation
