(ERGO) – Radio Ergo’s audience feedback platform in the week 30 April – 6 May 2026 captured a large number of calls from across the country about rainfall that people mostly said was helping to replenish resources. At the same time, some callers said the rainfall had caused damage, with two flooding reports from Shabelle river areas.
