Last week, I had the honor of presenting 3 RollUps at the Voices of Somalia event in Copenhagen.
Hereโs the first one: Maps of Somalia ๐บ๏ธ
Why maps? Because they tell the story of Somalia.
We got many more maps on the website!

Somalia has one of the shortest life spans globally โ infectious diseases play a huge role.
5 months ago, we started digging into why. We spoke to 11 experts, rethought everything, and just shared what we learned.

A young student planted a Warsheikh tree in his school.
This tree will soon provide shade and fresh oxygen in the near future.
It will stand as his legacy โ a footprint he can proudly share with future generations, while many students will continue to pass through that school and benefit from his simple but meaningful action.

Great work from the team, which is always striving to inform us on diverse topics affecting Somalis in ๐ธ๐ด and the diaspora.
For the past 5 months, we've researched "infectious diseases" in Somalia!
We finally finished a blog article covering the topic - check it out!

Do you know the 4 Somali Seasons?
Somalia has 4 yearly seasons: Gu, Hagaa, Deyr and Jilaal. The 2 rainy seasons occur around spring (Gu) where most of the rain falls and autumn (Deyr) ๐ฆ๏ธ. Hagaa is the windy, dry and hot season in the summer holidays โ๏ธ. The other is Jilaal.
After a short hiatus, MoreSomalia is back up and running.
Hopefully, we can revive the loss in reach (inactivity is punished on social media).

We're most active on Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, and tiktok ๐

This graph shows how much it has rained in Somalia over the past 20 years ๐ง๏ธ.
Cycles of droughts & floods ๐๐, often influenced by El Niรฑo & La Niรฑa (ENSO) ๐. These phases align closely with droughts or flooding .
Can we better prepare for these cycles? ๐ค

Have you ever wondered why Somalia experiences cycles of droughts and floods?
What led to over 42,000 deaths in the last drought a few years ago? And have you heard a drought might return soon?
