Farmers in Baardheere District of Gedo Region, southwestern
Somalia, have said they will start to cultivate their farms
knowing that their harvest will fetch them good money. The
farmers welcomed Islamist Al-Shabab's decision to ban WFP
operations in the region, reports independent leading
broadcaster Radio Shabeelle.
The farmers described the ban as a positive move to enhance
agricultural produce in the country.
Al-Shabab administration recently took over WFP stores in
the region and distributed food aid to hundreds of
vulnerable people in the region.
WFP had suspended its operations in southern and
southwestern Somalia in January after it received threats
from Al-Shabab.
