Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is likely to disrupt Africa’s wheat supply and increase heightened food insecurity in some parts of the continent including Somalia, which is experiencing its worst drought in decades.
“A decline in wheat trade will have a compound effect on the drought, as so much of our food comes from Russia and Ukraine. From the price of goods to the actual supply, Somalia is going to feel the impact of this crisis for many months to come,” says Abdullahi Nur Osman, CEO of the Hormuud Salaam Foundation, a philanthropic organization that delivers aid to drought-impacted communities in Somalia.
