"Super El Nino" to End The Year

[Cartan Boos]

does this mean somaila will get green?

Yeah especially if dams and places to catch rain fill which will be good for irrigation

The rain will also be good for vegetation and brush up north I think which will help with grazing. Will it offset damage ? Not sure can’t tell how ready we are

 

[KawhiLeonard]

we should really prioritize water infrastructure this decade.

Our cows are immune to Tsetse

How come

 

[Abaq]

How come

Adaptation after many generations. Cows from other areas will die in Lower Jubba but native cows will survive

Doesn’t mean that they aren’t harmed by it. Even if an animal is immune to parasites there’s still a cost to fighting them off.

Take a look at how the Kikuyu developed the area in Lamu around Mpeketoni. https://shorturl.at/tyOQ1

Can you imagine the gains if these cow herders can be convinced to put their cattle in feedlots and grow maize and alfalfa in Afmadow and Badhaadhe? Massive economic gains. Something similar can also be done in Ijara and Hulugho. Vast amounts of arable land can be brought into crop production.

The Kikuyus are farmers traditionally so it was easy for them. It will take a time with our nomads. That being said, there are nomads who have picked up farming maize and wheat in the buushbuushle area and they get good yields already

If this happen will it be a good opportunity to take over middle Jubba? AS will be busy with bad weather conditions and potential floods. Maybe it’s a good time to strike them

[Hilmaam]

150mm is around 6 inches of rain that seems a lot and beyond moderate rain

 

[Hilmaam]

Kenya estimating it will need 67 million to combat effect. They think it will be worse than 1997 floods.. same flood killed couple thousand Somalis. Last minute Duale takes shots at finance minister

 

[XuseenS]

I heard that this will affect the whole East Africa. From Uganda to Somalia

Disaster waiting to happen

Disaster waiting to happen

Hoping models don’t come true Kenya Somalia and Ethiopia not ready for major flooding

 

[KawhiLeonard]

Ethiopia will probably open all dams of shabelle , making flooding worse.

 

[El Nino]

Floodplains are only answer, there is no lacag to do anything else. FGS needs to be more vocal garnering international support, we desperately needed.
