UNDP helped the regional Ministry of Environment in Puntland build a main water reservoir, which provides to 15,000 pastoralists and their livestock water storage for four months.

In partnership with a local humanitarian group, UNDP provided primary environmental and clean-up care for internally displaced people living in camps in Baidoa, South West state, benefitting 984 households.

Solar panels previously supplied by UNDP have met 75 percent of energy needs in the main treatment centre for more than 2,000 cholera patients in Baidoa.

Al-Shabab-- Islamist insurent group bases in Somalia. They want to make Somalia and Islamic  state. They are a militant group that controls large areas. They relie on variety of tactics to get new recuits and solidify its presence. They take advantage of hunger and desperation caused by drought. Climate worsens the conflict by giving Al-Shabab more manpower. They commit serious crimes abuses such as arbitrary executions, including those accused of spying, collaborating with government and sometimes adultery forcibly recruting adult and children; extorting "taxes" through threats. They attack civilans and civilan objects. Al-Shabab fighters abducting civilans; stole livestock, and commited arson in attacks that caused more than 15,000 people to flee their homes.
Abuses by Government and Allied Forces-- Security foces unlawfully killed and wounded civilans during infighting over land, control of roadblocks,disarment operations, and aid distribution. They also punish many people and kill for something they did not do.
From Drought to Flooding, hunger and displacement worsens--The rains spread diseases that are particularly deadly for malnourished children whose immune systems are fragile and exhausted.The flooding has also damaged water sources, sanitation facilities and other critical infrastructure, and 22 nutrition centres treating over 6,000 acutely malnourished children in areas hosting the displaced, have had to shut down.About half of children under 5 – more than 1.25 million – are expected to be acutely malnourished this year, including up to 232,000 children who could suffer the harshest form of malnutrition that requires specialized lifesaving care.
UNICEF is still $110.3 million short of the $154.9 million in funding needed to support relief programmes in Somalia.

"Somali pirates kidnapped and held Michael Scott Moore, a journalist, hostage for two-and-a-half terrifying years until a ransom payment secured his release in September 2014.

Two months later, Mr. Moore received a surprising message on Facebook.

“How are you, Michael?” the message said. “I am ur friend Mohammed Tahlil. I wants to speak with u.”

The sender’s Facebook page included his photograph. Mr. Moore recognized him as one of the men who guarded him during his captivity in Somalia. He decided to write back.

What followed was an extraordinary exchange of Facebook messages between the journalist and his former captor. How long they communicated and where the conversation ultimately led has not been made public, but in the summer, the Somali was taken into custody by United States authorities and jailed in New York City, court records show. "

This passage above is directly from the New York Times Article. The Somalian Kidnapper Has faced sentences such as: Kidnapping, hostage taking, conspiracy and former other accounts which were not stated. Mr.Moore also told reporters that in 2012 he was taken from Mogadishu. Moore also said that during its capture the "pirates" Broke his wrist and it took weeks to heal on its own. He witnessed torture among one of the other people that was held captive along with him and he told reporters that they hung him upside down and beat him with a bamboo cane. Moore's mom agreed to paying 1.6 million for her son's release.

In the article they stated "It said some of Mr. Moore’s Somali captors brandished AK-47 assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and handguns. One of them made threats that if the ransom was not paid, Mr. Moore would be sold to the Shabab, an Islamist extremist group." I feel like after reading this article by the New York Times, that Somalia Terrorist/ Extremist are still very much alive and still have bad violence in Somalia
