Somali Farmers Using Solar Energy

We could even grow food in dry areas if we teamed up with Israelis who have mastered growing food in harsh conditions but the Arab overlords won't allow it. Very sad.

Am sure that technology has now spread and is used beyond Israel, if Somali government wanted to obtain it, it could, its not something difficult

Yeah but they still have advanced expertise, did u see when the Indian PM went to Israel, he requested help with growing food too and they promised him their expertise.

IsraHells? We could get the technology and techniques from other countries without dealing with the only apartheid state on earth: IsraHell. As a matter fact, Syria and Egypt has already mastered this techniques and technologies. I suggest big Somali farmers should seek help from Syrian experts where some of them are refugees, give them a good place to stay and salary as they're brothers and sisters in difficulty, and learn the techniques from them. I highly encourage Somalis to see how Syrians do the farming in Idlib and Homs provinces.

You do know that the Syrian crisis started with food shortage right? Their farmers could not grow jack, so they migrated to the cities and overpopulated them and it was the spark for their revolution. This issue of growing food for one's population should not be tied to politics, it's the Somali people who need this help not the Palestinians.

Some farmers in Somalia may already be using the drip technology, does anyone know?

It wasn't because of food shortage, the government made up for shortage in local produce due to draught by importing

The problem was the loss in livelihood and increased unemployment in the cities

The drought was the major factor, they have not seen something like that in 900 years, then the consequences were as you say loss of livelihood and increased unemployment in the cities since you got millions more people now.
The Israelis could have probably helped them but it's politics. The Jews export food from dry areas because they have very sophisticated expertise and produce a lot of food and if Somalia could obtain that, we could grow food from our dry areas and not have famines especially in the future when climate change is guarantied.

Syria had food self sufficiency. Go check your facts. The war started as part of Arab Spring and had everything to do with people want more say in their affairs.

IsraHell that relies on billions of USD from USA, Germany, other western countries, IMF, and Jewish billionaires is not a good role model for Somali Muslims. Over 97% of Somalis are brothers and sisters in faith with Palestinian Muslims, and shouldn't be dealing with the people who are destroying Masjid Al-Aqsa - the IsraHells.

Even if we can't learn from Syria and Egypt, we can look towards other countries. We should also follow from own ingenuity and deal with our shortcomings.

Farming is hutu trade and line of work. Somalia ninba shaqo buu xiirfad uu leeyahay. Most Darood are either politician or fishermen. Idoorr are xoolo dhqato and singer's.

[Basra-]

So basically, the Syrians war was a result of bad farming conditions? Africa is the same thing. Seriously, the world needs to wake up. The earth cannot keep up with population, and arid lands. Technology needs to be utilized to the max. Otherwise we are doomed.

Couldn't agree more. Without those billions of USD handouts, Israel wouldn't function. There are many countries that are far technologically advanced than Israel that could be a good role model for Somali Muslims.

Well said

Somalis need to get their head out of their ass and stop looking for foreign assistance, especially from criminal states. Even carabs and other Muslim countries want to keep us needy, waana dantooda in somaalidu faqiir ahaadaan. Ilaahay dhulkeenna wuuba barakayay. Drip irrigation & solar energy are readily available & are cheaper, easier to maintain & more efficient than diesel pumps & generators. We have a large educated middle class in the west. Our diaspora should be the only foreign entity needed for funding and expertise. I'm surprised there's no large commercial farming groups from the diaspora who formed a company & pooled funds for a project. Wallahi it's actually a simple project if the right minds come together

If anyone could foresee the future I think they'd have helped them if only to help themselves, the scale and escalation of the situation caught everyone by surprise

Judging by what I know about umada somaliyeed and the situation Somalia is in right now, its very unlikely, and probably wont happen
