Future of Somalia

Abstract

Approximately 6.2 million people in Somalia are now in danger of starvation due to the scarcity of foodstuffs following the drought continues. In two consecutive days, in a region in Somalia about 110 people died of starvation. I can assure Bay region in southern Somalia and most of the more alarming condition, said Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire last weekend during a meeting with Somali National Drought Committee. And my estimate, half the population of this country will be affected as a result of this drought, said Khaire as quoted by NPR, Monday (06/03/2017). Somalia has declared the drought a national disaster since Tuesday, February 28th last. Because the land dries out quickly, Khaire said the lack of clean water increases the disease. While the number of malnourished people who are fighting against diseases caused by dirty water increased significantly. WHO says if hunger this time evenly across the country, this being the third in a famine during the last quarter century. In 2010 and 2012 famine killed 258 thousand people in Somalia. British diplomat who is a former UN special representative for Somalia Nicholas Kay warned of a surge in threat of famine in the Horn of Africa. He called for immediate action being taken to stop a potential humanitarian disaster. Kay said this week that hundreds of thousands of people in Somalia will die or be on the verge of death in May of this year if urgent action is not taken to address the threat of famine in Somalia. So is there any future for the people of Somalia? Will they be extinct and only memories? This article will give you the description of the future of Somalia!
