SOMALIS MUST BE AWARE OF IMPEDING ECONOMIC AUSTERITY, POSSIBLY FAMINE

WDM EDITORIAL

The war in the Middle East will continue with all predictions. It will not be limited to Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. Israel and its main arms and funding supplier and protectator, the USA, have Iran and Yemen on their crosshairs. It could start even before Donald Trump takes over the reigns of power in America. When that happens, there will be no fuel and no basic food supplies in Somalia as we all depend on the whole on imports, including our basic food stuff. It is reported that Somalia gets a cheap supply of fuel from Iran through intermediate traders and  brokers. This will dry up immediately as Iran is hit, and its oil wells get destroyed. 

A friend of mine in the media world phoned us up today to warn Somali people of what about to come due to wars and instability in the Middle East and beyond. He asked about why people aren’t stockpiling domestic supplies while goods are still available in the market. Does this warning make sense to you? To us, it does, and we recommend taking it seriously before it becomes too late.
