73-year-old pastoralist Ali Arif

73-year-old pastoralist Ali Arif who had migrated from Ethiopia in search of water is now glad that he has found water deep inside Somalia. He trekked for 25 days with his family and livestock before finding a borehole deep inside Somalia.Arif, a father of 19 children, lived in the Dagahbur region in Ethiopia for decades. But four consecutive failed rain seasons and sporadic communal conflicts over scarce resources forced him and his family to cross the border into Somalia in a desperate search for water and pasture. @NRC
