8/8 Cautiously engaging Al-Shabaab on shared climate challenges could pave the way for peace. By prioritising water and services in all areas, Somalia’s government can meet people’s needs, build trust, and lay the groundwork for dialogue with the militants to end the conflict.
ALT Flying over southern Somalia.
7/8 Even with a political deal or Al-Shabaab's decline, climate change will still challenge Somalia. Tackling its impacts eases hardship, weakens Al-Shabaab, and helps prevent future threats. @OmarSMahmood and I break things down here.#ClimateResilience youtube.com/watch?v=TdxNG8L4…

5/8 Deforestation in Somalia for wood burning and charcoal production has led to devastating consequences. It worsens drought and floods and has also funded the militant group Al-Shabaab in the past. We filmed bags of charcoal and wood transported outside Kismayo.
4/8 Progress is happening: The Ministries of Environment and Water are working hard, supported by some regional ministries and @HodderClimate @iom_somalia @FAOSomalia @DKinSomalia @FCDOGovUK @GermanyInAfrica is + others. I met with Somalia's Disaster Management Agency (SODMA).
ALT SODMA is working with the World Bank and UN agencies to prepare for the impact of heavy rainfall and flooding
This is what an @FAOSomalia @theGCF program is rally going to look at next year. How do we help adaption to this climate disaster !
3/8 Somalia needs sand dams, solar irrigation & flood defences to safeguard livelihoods. A $95M Green Climate Fund project offers hope to rebuild water systems & restore land. Transparency is crucial for future investments. We visited a @WorldVision project near Baidoa.🌍💧
ALT Visiting a water project for displaced people on the outskirts of Baidoa. Somalia Resilience Program, a collective effort of seven international and national NGOs, has raised $151 million since 2012.
We equally have seen this in the river breakages and water control systems in hirshabelle state !
2/8 Al-Shabaab uses water strategically during extreme weather events like the 2023 drought. Our “Mapping Conflict” video shows how the group builds dams and canals to control resources and pressure people in areas it dominates. crisisgroup.org/global/mappi…
