Suldaanka Posted June 21, 2019 The land is very fertile. It only needs regular rains. The climate change has had a huge impact on the Somali nomads. My oldman always refers to the good old days when he was a child and used to go visit family camels just outskirts of Hargeisa. He used to say people used to be scared of snakes because the grass was so high that no one can see what is lurking below your feet. He says that they used to jump high to get a view of the surroundings because the grass would cover even their heads only a narrow path created by the foot traffic allowed people to walk on. One other thing he added was that the nomads used to burn grass (controlled way) to avoid out of control bush fires. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is possible it will change back again, climate change may increase rain East Africa , there will be winners and losers. The other think to consider Somali population , probably increased 5 times since your father was a boy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted June 23, 2019 There is no clear cutting of forest and trees in Dhahar. Most Somali landscape and mountains are bare of any tree these days, all were used for firewood. If a family got 20 goats they should be comfortable. They could sell one every few months while selling also the milk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
