In that Facebook post, Ahmed-Hamdi criticized the apathetic approach taken to drought in Somalia, where people pray to God instead of taking proactive steps to resolve recurring droughts. Ahmed-Hamdi said Somalis should learn from “advanced societies” such as in the United States and Europe and address drought by “making rain.”

Let's be serious the man may had good intentions by saying praying is not the only way but there is no one single country who makes his own rain. That's what ruined his whole argument.
Yes we can minimize drought effects if we at least
1. stop cutting trees and use gas instead of charcoal
3. Relocate our peaple from the plains to the coastal areas where they can switch to fishing
3. Change our nomadic lifestyle and settle down with small but sustainable livestock .
Droughts exist every where even in Dubai, California and Australia. But it does not effect their lives because they are not depending on livestock. They have other means of income.
Cloud seeding produces rain where exactly you want it. During the Olympic China made sure the weather in its capital was rain free for the Olympic by seeding clouds comming to the capital.theyuusuf143 wrote: Tue May 07, 2019 7:15 pm I wonder those advanced societies who make their own rain ?

That's great and should be done, but it's going to take time, years to see those benefits. I'm guessing the folks who are praying for rain, kinda need that rain to come now.
