From data to experts, there are several indicators calling for Somalia to act quickly to tackle the growing drought crisis at home Source: Daily Sabah By Hassan Yuusuf Waal In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Somalia is suffering one of the worst droughts in a generation after three successive poor rainy seasons and harvests. The food shortage has reached crisis proportions in the country and an unrelenting surge in food prices is fueling inflation. According to the U.N., “the drought could leave 4.6 million people without enough food by May 2022.”   When drought strikes Somalia, many people recall the horror of the 2011-2012 famine. The death toll was staggering. An estimated 258,000 people, half of them children, lost their lives during that period. But is nature the main culprit for Somalia’s famine?   Drought is a natural and worldwide recurring phenomenon that can have detrimental effects on communities and environments. Recurrent drought has threatened millions

Since then, the country’s political systems and structure quickly moved toward a winner-takes-all system. From 1969 to 1976, Somalia was under the rule of a military oligarchy. From 1976 to 1991, it was a one-party system dictatorship under the guise of a socialist progressive society. Today, Somalia has a parliamentary federal system of government. The Parliament representatives and the president are elected through indirect elections –  a complex clan-based model  that privileges so-called majority clans and is susceptible to voting manipulation. In 2013, the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) launched "Vision 2016," which aims for the adoption of a permanent constitution and reforming the electoral system to allow direct national elections. All efforts at achieving this vision have c

Source: Daily Sabah Every year, Somalis in Kenya (often referred to as “Kenyan Somalis”) remember the February 1984 Wagalla massacre, which was committed by Kenyan forces in Wajir – a town some 310 miles (almost 500 kilometers) north of the capital Nairobi. According to witnesses, the lives of 5,000 ethnic Somalis were claimed. Many fear a repeat of the past state violence and repressive tactics used against ethnic Somalis in Kenya as  diplomatic tensions between the two countries have soared in recent years  on a host of issues, including trade and a maritime dispute. The maritime dispute marks a major escalation in the impasse between Kenya and Somalia. In 2014, Somalia filed a case against Kenya at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), concerning a maritime dispute in the Indian Ocean. The case hearing was postponed three times at the request of Kenya. On Feb. 12, 2021, the ICJ rejected Kenya’s fourth request to delay the oral hearings. Finally, the hearings were set to take pla
