This sawir was taken last week.

 

 

And this one in late '80s.

 

Both taken at roughly in same area close to Marka, Shabeellaha Hoose.

 

And we wonder why abaaraha became a recurring calamity in recent years.

Somalis were never attached to their land as other nations do,charcoal is one of the things killing the country, i even heard some charcoal business people were burning the mango trees for cheap charcoal exported to Dubai. Allow sahal umuuraha.

 

Do you know to get one sack of charcoal you need to burn 5 trees.

Prime Minister Abdiweli's Achievement #15

 

Request US and UN to Ban Charcoal Trade

"On behalf of the Transitional Federal Government, I formally request that all United Nations Member States be advised to stop purchasing charcoal from Somalia, in respect and support of our domestic ban on charcoal production. I further request that the Security Council consider a resolution prohibiting all United Nations Member States from making such purchases." January 2012 - Government of Somalia

 

"The U.N. Security Council passed a resolution banning the export of Somali charcoal. The resolution aimed to stifle one of al-Shabab’s main sources of revenue in addition to ending the environmental damage caused by charcoal production." February 2012 - Associated Press.

 

"US President Barack Obama ordered an import ban on charcoal from Somalia, and expanded sanctions against those said to be imperiling security and stability in the Horn of Africa nation." - July 2012 - Associated Press

This is beyond disaster. Waxaas oo dhuxul ku keydsan dekedda Kismaayo. Acuudi bilaahi mina sheydaani rajiim. Waxaanan naxeynin ku jiro Soomaalida.

 

"Boqolkiiba sideedan ganacsiga ka jira halkaan Kismaayo wuxuu ku dhisanyahay dhuxusha..."

Dhib malahan in laga ganacsado dhuxusha, caalamka inta badan ba waa laga ganacsadaa dhuxusha, waraaqaha printing-ka oo laga sameeyo geedaha , laakiin, dalalka kale wexey nagu dhaamaan geed markey jaraan shan geed bey abuuraan, soomaali iney jaraan mooyee geedaha iney geed abuuraan ma yaqaanaan

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

Dhib wey leedahay dhuxul in laga ganacsado xiligaan, waliba waa dhib weyn. Soomaaliya dhulkeeda dhan waa wada saxaro iyo semi-saxaro now. Dhuxusha nolol maalmeedka la isticmaalo ayaa ku filnaan karin iskaba dhaaf dhuxul Khaliijka loo dhoofiyo. Dalalkaas Khaliijka ma ogala geedahooda yar in la jaro oo dhuxusha Soomaalida rabaan oo dhul nabaad guur laga dhigo. Inay Soomaali u naxaana iska iloow, Soomaalideena anagaaba isku naxi la'. Xaasidnimadooda waxaa kaaga daran iyagoo koronto iyo gaas makiinado ah isticmaalaayo ayee haddana dhuxusha Soomaaliya rabaan because 'cunto udgoon' ayaa ka imaaneyso raashiinka dhuxusha lagu kariyo see aaminsanyihiin.

 

Teeda kale dhuxusha laga isticmaalo Nayroobi NFD ayaa laga keenaa. Why? Isweydii adiga. Kenya oo leh dhulal balaaran oo barwaaqeysan oo geedo hawd ah wada leh ayaa dhuxushooda qaarkood loogu keenaa NFD oo dhul abaareed ah.

 

Dhulkaas NFD haddaa aragtidna waa wada abaar. Markaa Nayroobi ka tagtid oo dhaxbartamaha aad dhaaftid waxaa yaab kuula noqoneyso markaa u sii dhawaatid dhulka Soomaalida geedihiina wey sii yaraanayaan heer aad gaartid geedba meel lahayn oo ah dhulkeena Soomaalida meesha uu ka bilaabanaayo. Yaab iyo nus.

Sida geedaha loo abuuro ina la baro bey ubaahanyihiin.

 

Education and time will heal the land

 

P.S

Maskiin, unless the people are provided alternative revenue sources, criticizing their charcoal burning activities will be moot. Am sure, no right thinking Somali will trade in charcoal if better income avenues were available to him or her

We have three things to work on agriculture, livestock rearing and fishing, investment in these three will create I believe around 60% of jobs needed, rest being created from urban economy.

[oba hiloowlow]

yeah we have to start from the beginning like agriculture and the rest of what you mentioned Mario B and next Phase is industrialisation and so on..

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

What agriculture when the roob soo da'o uunan jirinba because geedihii la wada baabiye. What agriculture because if a little roob imaado, then webiga wuu soo fatahaadaa because soil erosion and the little farm a family owned dies on there. Why soil erosion? Because geedihii ku hareersanaa la wada jaray.

[Showqi]

Its funny how here in Toronto you can't cut a tree without first getting a permit from the City or will get hefty fine even if that tree is on your property! And in Somalia they are cutting and burning even mango trees.

[Somalia]

It will take decades to make up for that, and more droughts are coming..

[oba hiloowlow]
