Isbeddelka Cimilada waa caqabad dhab ah oo si toos ah u taabanaysa Soomaaliya. Waa dal wali kasoo kabanaya burburkii siyaasadeed iyo dhaqaale isla markaana wajahaya dhibaatooyin kasii daran oo ka dhashay isbedelka cimilada. Waxaa kamid ah abaaro soo noqnoqda, fatahaado, dhir la’aan, iyo barakac baahsan oo saameyn ku yeeshay malaayiin qof. 

Isbeddelka cimilada (Climate change) waa isbeddel joogto ah oo ku yimaada heerkulka, roobka, dabeylaha iyo xaaladaha kale ee cimilada dunida. Isbeddelkan waxaa sababa waxyaabo ay ka mid yihiin isticmaalka badan ee shidaalka, jarista dhirta, iyo hawada wasakheysan oo kordhinaysa gaasaska dhirta lagu koriyo (greenhouse gases).

Qormadaan waxay iftiiminayaa sida isbeddelka cimilada u saameeyay Soomaaliya,  sida ay inoo sheegayn khubaro kala duwan ee ku fooggan Arrimaha Cimiladda, dadaallada ay wadaan hay’adaha iyo xalka loo baahan yahay si bulshada Soomaaliyeed ay ula qabsato xaaladaha Cimilada (Climate action).

Soomaaliya waxaa ku sii kordhaya abaaraha daba dheeraaday iyo roobab aan la saadaalin karin. Waxaana la xaqiijiyay in dad badan ay ku khasbanaadeen inay barakacaan kadib markii ay lumiyeen xoolohoodii, beerahoodii, iyo wax walba oo ay nolol ku taagnayeen.

“Roobku markuu ka baaqdo, noloshii way istaagtaa,” ayuu yiri Maxamed Faarax, oo beeraley ku nool gobolka Shabeellaha Hoose.

Haddaba maxaa sababa fatahaadaha Soo noqnoqda?

Fatahaadaha joogtada ah ee webiyada Jubba iyo Shabelle waxay sidoo kale galaaftay naf iyo maal badan, iyadoo sameeyay deegaanno hoostaga magaalooyinka Baladweynee, Jowhar iyo Baardheere

Digniin Hore ee Qaran“waa in si siman loo gaarsiiyo bulshada Soomaaliyeed si ay uga hortagaan khataraha degdegga ah iyo masiibooyinka dabiiciga ah sida: Abaaraha, Roobabka babeylaha wata, Fatahaada iyo Dhul-gariirka”

Agaasimaha Khadar Maxamed oo ah Agaasiamah Maareynta Masiibooyinka (DRM) Ee Hay”adda SoDMA ayaa sheegay in digniinaha hore ee qaran aysan dadka wali sida ugu wanaaagsan aysan u fahamin. 

“Bulshada Soomaaliyeed inta badan waa isku daynaa inaa gaarsiinno, anaga oo marsiinayo qeynaha kala duwan ee muhiimka ah,  waxaana gaarsiinaa Xoola dhaqatada, Beerlayda iyo dadka ku nool wabiga jiinkiisa, balse dadka inta badan kuwa ka dhaga adeego ayaa jiro, waxaana ka dhasha qasaaro isugu jiro naf iyo hanti-ba” Ayuu yari Khadar Maxamed. 

 Khadar waxaa kale oo uu sheegay in  dalka oo dhan aysan  gaarsiin karin  digniinaha  tasoo ku sababay qodobo dhowr ah oo ay kamid yahiin dhaqaalaha oo xadidan iyo Awooada shaqaalaha iyo Xarumaha oo la gaarsiiyo waa sababta wali Sannadkii hore tiro badan oo qasaaraha ah ay ka dhasheen saameynta isbadalka Cimillada ee ugu wayn tahay Abaaraha Iyo Fatahaada.

Saameyn nuucee ah ayee u saameysay Beerlayda. 

Mudane Mohamud Mohamed Isse, Agaasimaha Waaxda Waraabka, Isticmaalka Dhulka Iyo Saadaasha ayaa dhankiisa sharraxaad dheeraad ah ka bixiyay sida ay u saamaysay Isbdalka Cimillada Sannadkii hore. 

“Sanadkii 2024, beeraleyda Soomaaliyeed waxay wajaheen caqabado isbiirsaday oo ka dhashay labadii xilli roobaad. Xilligii Gu’ga, roobab xoog leh ayaa ka da’ay qaybo ka mid ah dalka, gaar ahaan hareeraha webiyada Shabeelle iyo Juba, halkaasoo fatahaado kadhashay ay sababeen barakaca kumannaan qoys. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, gobolla dhexe iyo gobolada waqooyi, waxay heleen roobab hooseeya, taasoo keentay hoos udhac dalagyadii la beeray. Xili roobaadka Deyrtii 2024 siokale waxay noqotay mid aad u liidata meelaha qaar, iyadoo roobab goos-goos ah iyo abaaro ay si ba’an u saameeyeen beeraleyda koonfurta iyo bartamaha Soomaaliya. Labadaas xaaladood waxay sababeen hoos u dhac weyn oo ku yimid wax-soo-saarka, korodh cunto-yari, iyo baahi loo qabo taageero farsamo iyo mid qorsheysan si loo xoojiyo adkeysiga beeraleyda.”

Dr Abdimajid Nuunow  Madaxa barnaamiyada La-qabisiga ee Xarunta  Cimilada Iyo Ilaalinta Deegaanka ee Urur Gobaleeedka IGAD, ayaa tilmaamay dadaallada heer gobol iyo heer qaran oo ay wadaan IGAD iyo dowladda Soomaaliya uu sheegay in ay ka taageereen Arrimo ay ka mid yahiin  Dajinta Siyaasadaha, Awooda dhismaha Shaqalaha iyo Hay”adaha dowladda. “Waxaan aragnaa in Soomaaliya ay qaadday tallaabooyin muhiim ah qaaday  cimilada , sida diyaarinta qorshaha la-qabsiga cimilada (NAP), ilaalinta kaymaha, iyo Maalin-galinta NDC 3, ay u baahan tahay dhaqaale fara-badan Soomaalina dabooli karto, marka waxaa ka IGAD ahaan ballanqaadanynaa inaa ka taageero sidii madalada waa wayn Afrika Iyo Caalamka in codkeena garab kusiino si wax looga qabto Soomaali ahaan,” Cabdimajid Nurow Abdi

Sidoo kale  waxa uu xusay in IGAD ay si wayn ugu shaqaysay  in bulshooyinka Gobalka ku nool in ay ka faaa”iideystaan daaqsinka Iyo waraabka Xoolaha ay wadaagan bulshada xudadaha, taaasina waxaa inuu sahashay taageerida Siyaasadeed ee ku cad Istaraajiyadda IGAD, “IGAD ahaan waxaan xal u helnay in xoolaha Soomaaliya ka tago ay ku deeqsadaan xiliyada abaaraha dhacaa in ay ka gudbaan xaduudaha, kuwaasi ka faa”iideysto laguna arko Itoobiya, Kenya, waana iskaashiga cusub ee IGAD diyaarisay” Mudane Nunow.

Xalalka muhiimka ay in la xaqiijiyo 

Waxaa jira fursado badan oo Soomaaliya ay kaga bixi karto dhibaatada cimilada, haddii la isku xiro dadaalka bulshada, dowladda, iyo hay’adaha deegaanka, Dhir-beerin Qaran – Dib u beerista dhul-beereedyo iyo kaymo la jaray, Tamarta La Cusboonaysiin Karo – Solar, wind, iyo biogas si loo yareeyo jarista dhirta, Keydinta Biyaha – Dhisidda biyo-xireenno, ceelal waara, iyo hannaanka kaydinta biyaha roobka,  Wacyigelin Bulsho – Si gaar ah loogu beego dhalinyarada, haweenka iyo odayaasha deegaanka. Digniino Hore oo Casri ah – Teknoolojiyad u sahleysa dadka in ay ka hortagaan masiibooyinka sida fatahaadaha iyo abaaraha.

Gabagabo

Dhibaatooyinka ka dhasha Cimilada Soomaaliya ma ahan kuwa lagu xallin karo mustaqbalka dhow. Waa xaalad degdeg ah oo u baahan ficil iyo waxqabad joogto ah, kana kooban siyaasado qorshe ku dhisan, iyo wada shaqeyn u dhexeysa dowladda, bulshada, hay’adaha kala duwab iyo warbaahinta madaxabannaan.

Xal waara oo loo helo cimilada Soomalaiya waa inaan u diyaargaroobnaa maanta si aan berri ugu noolaanno nolol ammaan ah.

From Home to Desert: How Climate Change Erased Two Somali Villages

by Admin
written by Admin

The intensifying global climate crisis is hitting Somalia hard—disrupting ecosystems, displacing communities, and threatening both human and animal life. What was once a sustainable way of life in many regions is now vanishing under the weight of environmental collapse.

In central Somalia’s Mudug region, two ancient villages—Kulub and Dhinowda—stand as tragic examples of what climate change can do to the land and its people. Once thriving hubs sustained by pastoralism and the nearby sea, these villages are now being consumed by encroaching sand dunes.

A Disappearing Landscape

Kulub and Dhinowda were places of balance—where families depended on livestock and fishing, children attended local schools, and the community flourished. But over recent years, strong winds and shifting sands have gradually buried homes, trees, and buildings that stood for decades.

What remains today are ghostly outlines of what used to be. Homes lie abandoned, their windows and doors choked with sand. The village primary school, once filled with 125 students, now sees only 25 showing up—most classrooms unusable due to overnight sand accumulation.

Essential Services Lost

The community’s Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Center has been forced to shut down, leaving families without critical healthcare. Without proper evacuation planning or support, most residents fled early—some to nearby towns, others retreating to rural areas in search of pasture.

The next generation faces an uncertain future. Education is out of reach for many, and with families struggling to recover from repeated droughts, youth are increasingly pressured to leave school behind—some to help care for livestock, others looking toward migration as their only option.

A Warning—and a Call to Action

Kulub and Dhinowda are not just villages lost to the sands. They are stark reminders of the human cost of climate change. But they are also a call to action.

We must act now to:

  • Protect and rehabilitate grasslands and forests
  • Promote reforestation and sand dune stabilization
  • Support vulnerable communities with adaptation tools and resources

The future of Somalia’s environment—and its people—depends on urgent climate action. By restoring the land and empowering communities, there is still hope to reclaim what has been lost.

Isbeddelka Cimilada: 2,300 qof oo kuleyl dartiis ugu geeriyooday Yurub

written by Admin

Yurub |  Luulyo 2025 –  Ku dhowaad 2,300 qof ayaa lagu warramayaa  inay u dhinteen sababo la xiriira kulaylka daran ee ku dhuftay 12 magaalo oo ku yaala dalalka Yurub.

Dhimashadan xad dhaafka ah waxa ay dhacday intii lagu guda jiray mowjado kulayl aad u daran ah oo socday mudo 10 cisho ah, taasoo dhammaatay toddobaadkii hore. Daraasad cusub oo soo baxday ayaa sheegtay in Saddex meelood Laba Meel ay dhimashadaas si toos ah ula xiriirto saameynta Isbeddelka Cimilada.

Daraasaddan waxay si gaar ah diirada saartay muddadii u dhaxeysay 23-ka Juun ilaa 2-da Luulyo ee bishan, markaasoo qaybo badan oo Galbeedka Yurub ah ay ka jireen  kulayl daran.  Xiligaas  heerkulka dalka Spain ayaa gaaray 40°C degree, halka Faransiiskana ay jiireen dabeylo waaweyn oo dhaliyay dab (wildfires) gubasho ka gaystay magaalada Marseille iyo kaymo u dhaw.

Daraasadda waxaa lagu eegay 12 magaalo oo ay ku nool yihiin in ka badan 30 milyan oo qof, oo ay ka mid yihiin Barcelona, Madrid, London iyo Milan. Waxaana lagu ogaaday in heerkulka mowjadaha kulaylka ku dhuftay magaalooyinkan ay kor ugu kaceen ilaa 4°C sababo la xiriira isbeddelka cimilada.

Sida ay dadkani u dhinteen

Waxaa la qiyaasayaa in 1,500 oo ka mid ah 2,300 qof ee geeriyootay ay sababtoodu ahayd sida uu isbeddelka cimiladu isu rogay oo keenay kuleyl aad u daran, sida lagu sheegay daraasadda oo ay sameeyeen in ka badan 12 cilmi-baare oo ka kala socday hay’ado cilmiyeed oo fadhigoodu yahay dalalka UK, Netherlands, Denmark iyo Switzerland.

Cilmi-baarayaashu waxay adeegsanayeen habab la aqoonsan yahay oo xagga caafimaadka iyo dhimashada ee la soo ururiyey si loo qiyaaso tirada dhabta ah ee dhimashada. Xogta ay baahiyeen waxay muujineysaa dhimasho uu kulaylka si toos ah ama si dadban u sababay sida inuu sababay iney xaaladooda sii darsato dad cudurro horay ula noolaa.

Si loo fahmo kaalinta isbeddelka cimiladu ku leeyahay mowjadahan kulaylka ah, cilmi-baarayaashu waxay isbarbar dhigeen heerkulka mowjadda kulaylka ee hadda iyo mid dhici lahaa haddii aysan jirin kulayl sii kordhaya oo ay sababaan gaasaska (Greenhouse gases) hawada sare ee dhulka kululeeya. 

Waxaa la ogaaday in mowjadda kulaylka ay ahaan lahayd 2 ilaa 4 darajo mid ka qabow haddii uusan jirin isbeddel cimiladeed uu sababay bani’aadamka. Heerkulkaas dheeraadka ah wuxuu si gaar ah khatar ugu yahay dadka da’da ah, carruurta yaryar, dadka xanuunsan, iyo kuwa ka shaqeeya bannaanka muddo dheer oo aan nasasho lahayn.

Juuntii ugu kululeyd!

Hay’adda Copernicus Climate Change Service ee Midowga Yurub waxey sheegtay in bishii Juun ee sanadkan ay noqotay  bisha Juun ee saddexaad ee ugu kululeyd adduunka, iyadoo labadii sano ee ka horeeyay ee (2023 & 2024) ay ka horeeyaan dhanka kuleylka. 

Galbeedka Yurub ayaa la kulmay Juuntii ugu kululeyd abid, iyadoo meelo badan ay la kulmeen culays kulayl aad u daran.

Sanadkii 2023, cilmi-baarayaal Yurub ah waxay soo wariyeen in ilaa 61,000 oo qof ay u dhinteen mowjadaha kulaylka xagaagii hore, taasoo muujineysa in dadaallada lagula tacaalayo kulaylka ay weli aad u hooseeyaan.

HALKA KA DAAWO MUUQAAL SOO KOOBAYA SIDA ADUUNKA LOOGA DAREEMAYO KULEYLKA SII KORDHAYA IYO SAAMAYNTIISA.

Climate Security: The Choice Between Short-Term Reactions and Long-Term Solutions.

by Admin
written by Admin

Christophe Hodder 

The United Nations Climate Security and Environmental Advisor to Somalia.

In a world where the pace of information is accelerating faster than at any time in human history, decision-making has become increasingly reactive. The explosion of real-time news, social media, and 24-hour crisis cycles means that governments, organizations, and individuals are often pulled into a perpetual state of short-termism, responding to immediate events while losing sight of the longer-term choices that shape our collective future.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the global response to the climate crisis.

As we witness devastating floods in the United States, record-breaking heatwaves, and droughts across continents, it is clear that the impacts of climate change are not some distant threats, they are happening now. Yet climate action continues to slip down the political agenda in many parts of the world. Why? Because while the impacts are visible, the solutions require the kind of long-term thinking that struggles to compete with the urgent, often reactive demands of the present.

We live in an age where speed dominates fast-moving political cycles, fast-changing crises, and fast information flows. The global system is hardwired to reward quick wins and immediate impact, not patient, persistent action on complex challenges like climate change.

As someone working on climate security in Somalia, I see firsthand how this short-term lens undermines our ability to build resilience where it is most needed. Somalia faces intersecting challenges: prolonged droughts, floods, resource scarcity, conflict, and displacement. These are not isolated shocks they are part of a deeper, longer-term climate and environmental crisis that is driving insecurity and vulnerability across the region.

Yet too often, international attention and funding focuses on the symptoms rather than the root causes. Humanitarian responses to famine, for example, remain essential. But unless we simultaneously invest in long-term climate adaptation, natural resource management, and community resilience, we will be forever trapped in an expensive, exhausting cycle of response rather than prevention.

Somalia’s experience highlights a truth that applies far beyond the Horn of Africa: climate security is not just a local or national issue it is a global security issue. Fragile states on the frontlines of climate change may be the first to feel the impact, but no country is immune from the ripple effects of instability, displacement, and environmental breakdown.

The choice we face is simple but profound:

  • Do we continue to be driven by the urgency of today’s headlines?
  • Or do we have the courage to prioritize investments that may not deliver immediate political wins but are essential for the stability and security of future generations?

For me, this means championing climate adaptation in fragile and conflict-affected settings like Somalia supporting communities to build resilience, manage natural resources sustainably, and plan for a future that is less vulnerable to the shocks that are already upon us.

We need global leadership that recognizes that climate security is not an optional agenda it is the foundation of human security in the 21st century. That means shifting from reactive crisis response to proactive risk reduction. From short-term optics to long-term vision.

The floods, fires, and droughts we are witnessing around the world should not only be wake-up calls for action they must also be reminders that while the clock is ticking faster, the decisions we make today shape the world we will live in tomorrow.

We cannot afford to choose speed over substance. The time for bold, long-term climate security action is now.
