Glad to be back in Mogadishu & working directly with our inspiring peacebuilders from Southwest State, #Somalia. They have done amazing work in their communities and we will continue to support their local efforts, working on the nexus between climate change, environmental degradation and conflict.

Fighting Climate Change in Somalia’s Conflict Zones | Crisis Group Few countries are more exposed to the ill effects of climate change than Somalia. Insecurity compounds the problem, with the Al-Shabaab insurgency exploiting drought conditions as a means of social control. Mogadishu needs help in dealing with the nexus of armed conflict and weather shocks.

#ClimateChange, changing weather patterns that lead to higher sea levels, droughts and other natural disasters, is the biggest challenge to humanity yet and impacts existing conflicts, or even creates new ones.

Twitter is no more and I hope to successfully and permanently transition to Bluesky! I guess especially the Somalia and peacebuilding bubbles are still very, very small here but I'm sure they will be growing! :)
Looking forward to it!
