Thank you for tagging me in. Yes it is concerning that the rate desertification is happening in our country is speeding up. However all of this can be reversed if somalis start taking this issue seriously.
Firstly overgrazing and nomadic habits will have to be closely monitored and confined to certain areas by government decree. We need to slowly move our ppl from an nomadic lifestyle to a agriculturalist and farming suited one and government officials need to implement some incentives to encourage the locals. We could easily resurrect old dried up river basins like the nugaal river and have forests all over the north of somalia and grasslands in puntland. If israel and india can do it then the next generation of somalis can definitely achieve such a feat. We are at a crucial point in time right now! either this generation helps to pave the way for our generation or they continue to waste the countries aid money and resources on useless projects and leave us with nothing to pick up from.
