Above-average Deyr rains were also expected to cause flooding in flood-prone low-lying and riverine livelihoods of the country. However, actual Deyr season rainfall between October and early December 2018 turned out to be below average in most parts of the country. Livestock holdings among poor pastoral households in northeastern and central Somalia remain below baseline. Livestock body conditions, reproduction and milk production and availability are below average Climate to poor in areas that received below average Deyr rains. With few saleable animals, poor pastoralists will not be able to meet their food needs, payback accumulated debt and cover increased expenditure Civil on water during the forthcoming dry Jilaal (January – March 2019) season. Insecurity In Northwest Agropastoral livelihood zone, the 2018 Gu/Karan cereal harvest was estimated at 11 000 tonnes. This is 43 percent lower than the amount projected in July 2018 and 76 percent lower compared Livestock to the Gu/Karan average cereal production for 2011 – 2017. Main reasons for poor production are below average and poorly distributed Gu/Karan rains, dry spells, pest infestation and bird attacks. Agriculture Due to below average rainfall amounts and its poor temporal and spatial distribution during the current Deyr season, the overall cereal harvest in southern Somalia is expected to be 30-40 percent below the Markets long-term average.

  • 'The Evils of Locust Bait': Popular Nationalism During the 1945 Anti-Locust Control Rebellion in Colonial Somaliland
    ‘THE EVILS OF LOCUST BAIT’: POPULAR NATIONALISM DURING THE 1945 ANTI-LOCUST CONTROL REBELLION IN COLONIAL SOMALILAND I Since the 1960s, students of working-class politics, women’s his- tory, slave resistance, peasant revolts and subaltern nationalism have produced a rich and global historiography on the politics of popular classes. Except for two case studies, popular politics have so far been ignored in Somali studies, yet anti-colonial nationalism was predominantly popular from the beginning of colonial rule in 1884, when Great Britain conquered the northern Somali coun- try, the Somaliland Protectorate (see Map).1 The British justified colonial conquest as an educational enterprise because the Somalis, as Major F. M. Hunt stated, were ‘wild’, ‘violent’, ‘uncivilised’, without any institutions or government; hence the occupation of the country was necessary to begin the task of ‘educating the Somal in self-government’.2 The Somalis never accepted Britain’s self-proclaimed mission. From 1900 to 1920, Sayyid Muhammad Abdulla Hassan organized a popular rural- based anti-colonial movement.3 From 1920 to 1939, various anti- colonial resistance acts were carried out in both the rural and urban areas, such as the 1922 tax revolt in Hargeysa and Burao, 1 This article is based mainly on original colonial sources and Somali poetry. The key documents are district weekly reports sent to the secretary to the government, and then submitted to the Colonial Office. These are the ‘Anti-Locust Campaign’ reports, and I include the reference numbers and the dates. I also use administrative reports, and yearly Colonial Office reports. All original sources are from the Public Record Office, London, and Rhodes House Library, Oxford, England.
