Let me add this news that just came in. I'm not taking any shots at any body but I like to educate clueless brothers like Tycoon.
It is clear he never saw the regions and lands he likes to 'boast' about.
I did say the two rivers are both fed by rains in the Oromo highlands. If no rain, they just dry up like any Somali doox.
The water dries up all together or reaches low levels that cannot be accessed.

Water crisis threaten Somali region’s agriculture
BELEDWEYNE (HOL) – Aid workers and local officials in the central Somali region of Hiiraan warned that severe water shortages continue to threaten farming communities in provincial capital of Beledweyne and large parts of the region, one of the country’s major producing sources.
Last month, the United Nations warned that more than 50,000 children in Somalia "face death" because of the ongoing drought there.
Water crisis also forced residents to transport water from distant boreholes, few of the water sources left for the region after the Shabelle River which is an important water supply source for the region’s farmers has been drained dry due to droughts, leaving crops failed and dried.
Speaking at an emergency meeting between aid workers and the region’s administration, Yusuf Ahmed Hagar, the governor of Hiiraan region pledged his administration’s readiness to implement water-shortage contingency plan to tackle the region’s water crisis, calling for support by aid agencies.
”This is an emergency situation that requires an urgent attention and action to tackle the water crisis.” He said.
Meanwhile, farmers have expressed concerns over the impact of the drought, calling aid agencies to take urgent measures to enable them to continue crop productions.
Aid workers in the region said that the failure of the annual rainy seasons along with the dryness of the traditional rain water catchment facilities due to the drought exacerbated the situation, denying farmer of any farming prospects.
I pray the same prayers as Hadraawi for Beledweyne.
I hope Tycoon overcomes his inferiority complex and educates himself better. Climate change is affecting the south more as proven by the 10 year study research I shared weeks ago.
Consider this an education.
This 10 years in the making map shows areas under stress and that will shift while mountainous regions are more resilient.
