Radio Ergo's independent audience feedback platform received calls during the week of 17-23 September 2026, with listeners across Somalia reporting a patchwork of rainfall, drought, and growing anxiety over the predicted El Niño phenomenon.
El Niño Preparedness and Flood Fears
Several callers expressed concerns about the predicted El Niño and asked for further information or assistance to help them plan ahead. In Gedo region, a caller in Bardera said he was among the IDPs facing hardship in a camp, including food shortage and lack of toilets. The IDPs in Bardera camp had no plastic sheeting for shelters as the rains began.
In Beledhawo, a caller said it was very windy by the river and people had heard about El Niño and were in fear. A farmer in Maqasha village near Dollow said farmers had stopped planting due to fear of floods. They wanted to know if they should proceed with farming or cease.
Agricultural Recovery and Pest Challenges
Some farmers in Middle Shabelle areas spoke of having good harvests and starting the next planting cycle. A caller in Bula-sheikh, Middle Shabelle, said they had harvested good produce and were doing well and preparing to plant again. Another caller in Jowhar, Middle Shabelle, said they had harvested their maize harvest and were now starting the new planting season.
However, many farmers in Middle and Lower Shabelle and Gedo complained of various types of pests invading their farms and spoiling their crops. Herders from various locations reported diseases affecting their livestock and wanted advice from the veterinary experts on the radio.
Severe Drought and Water Shortages in the North and East
In the north, a caller in Berbera, Sahil, complained of severe drought. A caller in Yube, Sanag, said they were facing severe drought in the area with food shortage and rising prices. The caller in Yube said they couldn't sell their feeble livestock and appealed for help.
In Puntland, a caller in Qardo said prolonged drought had led to the loss of some of their animals, while the others had been moved to other areas. In Mudug, a female caller recorded three messages from Harardhere asking for urgent water aid due to the severe drought in the area.
