He could have resettled the nomads along the coast and then introduced to them a lifestyle where they fished while supplementing their income with their nomadic tradition and also a bit of farming in the mix. During the recent drought, I watched to an old man in Burco, he said, "ABAARTANI waxay nagu khasabtey in kalluun cuno", Waa fahmi karta sida ay u adag tahay ummad in dhaqankeeda la bedelo, haduu khaldan yahay. Did any SOMALI region plan now for the coming drought , as it will come, and it is cycle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the nomads eating kalluun is like eating creepy crawlies. It is "beneath them". I guess farming is also anathema for the nomad given that only a fraction of the starving population volunteered to move to the south and the east coast. They probably preferred to die a nomad whilst waiting for the rain to come than become southern farmers or fishermen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
