(ERGO) – The impact of water crisis and drought continued to be the main preoccupation of callers this week (16-22 December 2021) to Radio Ergo’s independent feedback platform. The platform recorded more calls this week than the previous week, and there were notably large numbers of calls from Togdher, Galmudug, and Hiran, as well as from other regions. Callers complained about lack of water, sick, dying or dead animals, and pastoralist communities in a state of flux. Some callers spoke of lack of food and high prices, and inability to sell animals. Most asked for intervention by government and/or aid agencies. In addition, there were calls from Sanag and a few other areas complaining about new desert locust attacks. Some callers had questions or comments about the resurgence of Coronavirus and the new Omicron variant.
