(ERGO) – Several callers living in southern riverine areas left messages this week (10-17 September 2026) on Radio Ergo’s call-in platform about their fears of flood risks and what they should do in preparation, and their desire for more climate information. One caller in Gedo said that they had already seen some parts of the river flooding. The majority of calls, however, were on the theme of drought. Most of these came from northern and central regions, with some from South West state, and Jubbaland especially Gedo region. Rainfall was reported by several callers in scattered parts of Somaliland; one in Qardho, Bari; a few in central; and several in various parts of the Shabelles and Jubbaland. Pastoralists especially in central and southern regions reported various diseases affecting their camels, goats and sheep.
