The Middle East had a huge population boom between 1950 and 2000. This boom has not yet come to an end in places like Iraq and Egypt. The whole region is very vulnerable to disruptions in global food and energy trade.

Somalia is probably in an even worse situation given our population growth, lack of water resources outside of the Juba and Shabelle, and weak gov unable to create a grain reserve to hedge against something like the Ukraine war.

Sudan and Egypt is just bad water management.

Egypt went from 35 million ppl to 109 in just 50 years

Somalia has enough ground water, but we also need to plant billions of trees to attract more rain water.
Specially in the north where there are enough mountains.
Make Bari, Sanaag, Nugaal, Togdheer and bay & Bakool green.
