I miss Sam.
Good. If they give up goats . Those strip vegetation, increase drought by killing off the greens. (Though killing greens is not necessarily bad for the economy, ya know.)
Oh, but then the stuff would be delivered and 95% would be sold on the black market to enrichen their country's corrupt leadership... never mind.
Many years ago, the ancestors of these people lived in the lowland regions and made a good living capturing and selling slaves, including ObaMao’s ancestors. Then whitey came along and put a stop to it. Especially the British.
drought kills grass you try to grow - you increase your pasturage to grow more animals, and then there are more to die off.
Control of the water and consistent supply to grow that grass would be the key to at least maintaining 1/3 the animals during prolonged droughts
BTW for all the Warmists, and ClimteChangeMongers — those droughts have been happening for thousands of years and wont be believed when you point at it in your usual fraudulent way ....
There was some landowner in the north African desert who fenced off a great big pentagon shaped plot of bare desert so n one could graze their goats and sheep there, and just left it alone.
In a very short time the land greened up and became quite lush, while all the land outside the pentagon remained dusty and barren.
The aerial photos were amazing.
