The majority of calls to Radio Ergo’s nationwide audience feedback platform this week (7-13 May 2026) were about rainfall, with most of these callers saying the rain was bringing hope and indications of recovery. However, a notable number also indicated that recovery was more challenging due to livelihood losses and that livestock were continuing to die. From this week’s batch of calls, rainfall seemed most prevalent in southern and central regions. Some noted that the rain was inconsistent, light, or scattered in their areas. Several callers in Hirshabelle areas spoke of river flooding or flood risks and the need for assistance. Conflict was a concern for several callers in Sool and Sanag regions. The rejection of the Somali shilling notes also continued to cause concern for callers in southern regions.
