Cultural Awareness of Somalia
Somalia's terrain comprises principally of highlands, plains, and plateaus. The North of Somalia is an oceanic semi-desert plain parallel of the Gulf of Aden Coast. The plain ascents from the gulf coast to the steep northward-confronting bluffs of the dissected highlands. The majority of the nation is extremely flat apart from the mountainous coastal zone in the north and a few purported stream valleys. The South has broken mountain landscape, shallow level valleys, and generally dry conduits. South-western part of the nation has River Jubba and River Shabeelle. These are the country's only two permanent rivers. The Western piece of Somalia has an Ogos (dry watercourses) and is crossed by various shallow …show more content…
Apart from the higher rises in the north, the weather is hot consistently. The vast majority of Somalia is a semiarid or arid area where rainfall is inadequate. However, the southwest and the northwest of the country receive moderate rainfall. This is where Rivers Jubba and Shabeelle are located. With 500 millimeters of rainfall received in most areas annually, the country can be considered dry for many spells of the year. Due to such climatic and weather conditions, many Somalis practice nomadic pastoralism. Somalia, at the extreme of climate change issues, will have incredible trouble adjusting to the results of climate change when they show up. This can be facilitated by the fact that Somalia does not have the establishments and government structure expected to protect its population against expanded food insecurity. Unstable circumstances have harmed agricultural productivity. Livestock production is the backbone of the Somali economy, giving the main source of food and foreign trade income. Like other African agriculturists and herders, Somalia has adjusted to changing ecological conditions with astounding resilience (Lewis, 2008). Somalia's economic activities have continued particularly where they are localized and generally secured in spite of Somalia's prolonged instability. The present conflict and absence of a rule of law is a noteworthy prevention to …show more content…
The nation's is situated on the Horn of Africa in Eastern Africa. Somalia borders Djibouti and Ethiopia in the northwest, the Gulf of Aden toward the north. Towards the east, the country touches the Indian Ocean and borders Kenya in the southwest. The boundary of Somalia with Djibouti has been fixed through international agreement. However, the western border with Ethiopia stays in question. Somalia has the longest coastline on the mainland of Africa with a seaboard that extends 3000 kilometers. There has not been an official census since 1987 make dependable population information hard to acquire. The nation's population was assessed to be 10.5 million individuals starting 2013 (Lewis, 2008). Four years after the development of a government in Somalia, the nation has assembled growing institutions. The recently declared Federal Republic of Somalia had just restricted control over the nation after the Somalia's questionable transitional organization gave energy to another legislature in 2012. The nation's next basic stride will be to hold national elections by September, 2016. In any case, it will require years of monetary and security support to make the new state compelling. Regardless of encountering common turmoil, Somalia has kept up a solid informal economy. This economy depends on remittance and money transfer companies, livestock, and telecommunications. Efforts like Vision 2016 give openings to both
