Mrs. Fatuma Abdi Dalmar has been a farmer her entire life, her father was a farmer, as her grand father. Her crops have been heavily efected by invading locusts swarms. She lost almost all of her crops. She was about to bear one of the richest harvest of the region, she believes that was the main reason for the locusts to attack her yields.
Pictured are some of the cattle of mrs. Fatuma Abdi. She is worried that the cattle won't have enough to eat as the leaves of the sorghum, the feed for the cattle, have been eaten by locust swarms.
