The country of Somalia is best understood by learning about the “Horn of Africa,” defining its common religion, and examining its rich traditions. Comprehending the history of the “Horn of Africa” is important in order to understand its effect on Somali ethnic groups. Unlike most of African nations, Somalia is made up of single, homogeneous ethnic groups (Lewis). Somalia shares

Though still less relative to fuelwood in most of Asia, charcoal use is becoming a much larger part of the woodfuels total in Africa and South America. In Africa, the aggregate of consumption of fuelwood and wood for charcoal is growing at a rate close to that of population growth. The overall quantities involved, and the numbers still relying on woodfuels continue to be very large. The International

Since July 2011, Horn of Africa countries have been suffering through the worst drought and famine period in the last 60 years, causing a humanitarian crisis throughout several countries including Somalia where the drought has affected an estimated four million Somalis (Africa and Europe in Partnership, 2011).

Somalia is a country strategically located in the Horn of Africa. Some of the countries that border Somalia are Kenya, Ethiopia, and Djibouti.

Drought is not the only risk that people face in dry land areas. There are multiple sources of vulnerability. The implication is that a multi-dimensional approach to manage risk and reduce vulnerability is required. The reason why past rangeland development projects in Africa have failed was their focus on only a single issues and interventions in isolation, such as addressing

Somalia is a located in eastern Africa, and forms the cap of the Horn of Africa, bordered by Djibouti to the northwest, Ethiopia to the west Kenya to the south, the Gulf of Aden to the north and the Indian Ocean to the east. Somalia has the longest shoreline in African, connecting to both the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean with a length of 3300 KM, which has been essential to its trade with the Middle East and the rest of East Africa.
