Now Somalia is experiencing its worst drought in 40 years. With the world distracted by the war in Ukraine, the crisis is escalating away from the public gaze.

  1. I always wonder WHY those Arabic countries do some humanitarian work in Somalia… it’s sad but true that at the end folks have to depend on Christian Nations..

  2. I felt like my heart stopped for a bit . I am constantly praying for you guys. I believe that there is nothing in this world that my god cannot do .all I can do for you guys is to pray before Jesus Christ in whom I believe . I wish your guys country to be free soon 🥺😢😭🙏✝️

  3. This is A lie, you live with a lie, stop spreading lies, Come to Somalia and see it yourself, Our country is developing day by day, you just hate our country and been spreading lies decades about Africa.

  4. As Somali and I can say that it’s some little parts of Somalia where there’s this kind of problems and that’s the bad guys alshabaab and also the western media are making it worse looking

  5. Western and their mercenary correspondents are the ones who have been involved the destruction of our country , they Support alshabaab by giving Financial and weapons support
    They're always engage to show the world that Somalia isn't peace anymore
    GUSTAV who is a DANISH youtuber have been Mogadishu in several weeks Ago my question is who have seen GUSTAV having with security

  6. You can't help but feel sorry for these people. But having so many children it's not going to help the situation… The woman who brought her one and two-year-old with her but left the 4 and 5 year old with a father that's 4 children in 5 years….

  7. Dear Africa,

    Christianity and Islam are the means through which Africa is still controlled and destroyed by outside people

    Leave both Christianity and Islam, Then Africa will be prosperous

  8. سبب الفتنة المستمرة هم ابناء الوطن المغتربين بالغرب ، العنصريةالقبلية متجذرة فيهم وتم تلقينهم اياها من قبل أهاليهم ، الآن نحن في ازمة ان البلد اصبح عالة عدللتجار اللي يستوردو كل شيء حتى ملعقة الطعام بلد تم محوه من الارض

  9. I am sorry dadka dhibka ka daaya aad ku qaraabanaysaan magac dimeed wado ama magac dawlad wado dalka iyo dadku nabad ayay u baahanyihiin ciidan shisheeyo iyo deeq shisheye uma baahnin dalkeenu waa barwaaqo we need only peace

  10. why when we talk about any country in Africa it's always when there are terrible things going on there

    We never talk about the success stories

    it's like westerners feel good seeing that there people doing worse than them

  11. R they bring raped y have so much kids to suffer willingly,i still want to visit Somalia no matter th situation,h hopefully it will get better soon,i think somalian people r one of th most beautiful of God's creation,i think now they know th situation,they shud either try selling th animals quicker,and use th income to construct a well,or water sources to bring water closer to them,just a silly idea😞

  12. On my page you will see all the GOOD sides of Somalia NO ONE talks about! I’m there as Christian and European visiting mogadishu and other places. Also without security ..🇸🇴

  13. I would like to appreciate all people behind this documentary and the security of Somalia to enable capture what is enough. This documentary is serving just more and beyond Somalia. To the people of Somalia, I can for now only pray for you.
    The statement that "This Drought is real Drought" has moved me one more step towards working for my community resilience.

  14. In the end, it is the women, the lean, strong resilient women like the woman that walk 30k with kids and pregnancy, the little girl who choose education to empower herself, in the end, it is them a just a few sensible men that will build somalia.

    My heart is with all of you. Love from Nigeria.

  15. 6 minutes and 42 seconds is all I could watch. The woman has a 1 and 2 year old with her and she’s 7 months pregnant, she left the 3 and 4 year olds with her husband she couldn’t bring them, she walked 30 kilometers a day for 9 days.
    She lives in the desert with 4 children and 1 on the way, why keep having children living in a desert with terrorist all over the place, let’s not forget droughts.
    Do these people have access to birth control. ???

  16. Tắt cả các chiến binh ấy ze được tìm đường cứu.. Từ chính trị nhận quyền quốc tệ tôi tớ chúc trong nước vì họ ko phải là những miếng thịt chó ai bài ra bản nhận vé đô la rồi bỏ mất các chiến binh bị giảm cam… Cuộc đâu tránh gọi xuống. Màu này ko có bóng đang có hỏi xuống màu dân tay nguyên cả nước màn hay vùng tin
