::Actually, that's already been discussed above. You're placing undue weight on the exception of the exception, when a) the drought's worst effects in Somalia primarily affected farmers in the southern part of the country, not the northern pastoralists (exception #1), and b) the UN has actually indicated an overall improvement in the lot of most of the affected pastoralists, some coastal areas notwithstanding (exception #2). That's why the wiki phrase read: "Some coastal areas notwithstanding, the abundant rainfall in most parts of central and northern has replenished pastureland and also further boosted the purchasing power of local herders." Here again is the UN's actual conclusion: "In the central and northern regions, most areas also benefited from good rains which lead to both improved pasture conditions and purchasing power for pastoralist households, with the exception of coastal pastoral populations who remain in Emergency (IPC Phase 4)."
