The sustained conflict in Somalia reduced the community collaboration and wiped-out their relations from village to region and this caused lack of effective community mobilization when the natural and man-made disasters occur.


The Somali Media for Environment, Science, Health and Agriculture (SOMESHA) carried out a survey for the current climate situation nationwide in order to know its impacts and how the people are dealing with especially the vulnerable community in the war zone area at the country.

Almost, two decades Somalia has not had a central government and Somalis are under violent behaviour since the collabse of Siad Barre regime in 1991. Somalia has experienced dramatic environmental shifts following two decades of insecurity and chaos in the country. The protracted crisis has led to an unsustainable use of the country’s resources. Corrupt businessmen, warlords, and other violent radical groups, with the help of external spoilers, have contributed to deforestation and depletion of Somalia wildlife resources.
