Residents in Siilanyo's native region of Caynaba resort to eating bush-meat

[Saalax]

"Ahmed Abdi Omar, 17, holds tight to the

rope around a porcupine just outside the city of

Aynabo in southeastern Somaliland. The porcupine

was captured because it was destroying crops.

Omar's family planned to eat it. Two weeks

earlier a dispute over grazing land in this

community left one villager dead."

That is very very bad. Are people in that desperate situation in Somaliland?

The drought hit Caynabo region the worse so that is

why people are resorting to bush-meat. Overall there

is no government assistance to rural people because

it doesn't exist. This is the reality backhome not the

"Somaliland way duushay" nonsense.

Between begging for food and hunting for food. I would choose hunting any day.

 

For Saalax, the French kid & celebrity attention hoes from "Somalia Love Army" collecting $5 dollar donations is perhaps his preferred way.

 

We need to see more folks like this kiddo. We have sea and land full of food that are just waiting for those people to catch and make a meal.

 

For the record, porcupine is a delicacy here in Australia. It is available at high end restaurants.

It is bizarre and crazy when people dying and there is a plenty of food, it is all knowledge, and changing mindset, I said in another thread , going to the sea without even knowing how to fish, You get a lot from there, crab etc

 

I am against the continuations of the cycle, collecting money, buying food and distribute, and it continues,

 

Training people of survival skills, of fishing skills, farming skills, water catchments irrigations projects, those should be priority.

 

I was watching a video before from Burco, old man said, "it is a major disaster , we are forced to eat FISH", what a mindset!
