there was a major terrorist attack in Kismayo (Southern Somalia). 26 people dead.

among the dead was Hodan Nayaleh (and her husband), a prominent Somali journalist.......I am generally removed to things that pertain to the Somali diaspora/Somali politics.....but even I knew of her work and presence. May all the victims finally find the peace that they dreamt for their homeland.

The autumn rains failed and the grass that fed the animals didn’t grow. No rain came this spring, either, and then the livestock began to die. 

Another drought has seized Ethiopia’s arid Somali region, devastating the livestock herders in these already dry lands. 

Even as the government and aid agencies struggle to help them, there is a growing realization that with climate change, certain ways of life in certain parts of the world are becoming much more difficult to sustain.
