"While Abudwak has seen significant urban growth in recent years, a silent crisis is mounting in its streets. In this documentary, I take a deep dive into the failure of local sanitation services and the growing environmental impact of waste within the city. Featuring interviews with local authorities, medical professionals, and residents living on the frontlines of this pollution, we explore why the beauty of our city is at risk and what needs to change.

Somalia has some of the most fertile land in the East of Africa, yet our farmers are struggling to survive. In this episode of Horn Stories, we meet Abdiqadir Said, a local farmer who shares the heartbreaking reality of agriculture today. The biggest threat isn't the weather or the soil—it's the unfair competition. A flood of imported vegetables is saturating local markets, forcing Somali farmers to sell at a loss or watch their hard-earned produce rot in the fields. Why is the "foreign tomato" preferred over the local one? And what happens to our food security when our farmers finally call it quits? Join us as we explore the struggle between local toil and imported goods. #SomaliAgriculture #FoodSecurity #HornStories #SupportLocal #SomaliFarmers #EconomicJustice

This thought-provoking short film by Horn Stories sheds light on the ongoing crisis along the coast of Puntland. It highlights the threat posed by foreign trawlers engaging in illegal fishing (Jariif), which is devastating our marine ecosystems. Concurrently, we face harsh economic realities on land, where ice prices continue to rise, trapping female traders in a relentless cycle of debt. Through the voices of local fishermen who risk everything for dwindling catches and community leaders advocating for essential land rights, this documentary transcends a simple narrative about fish. It delves into themes of economic injustice, the resilience of the community, and a heartfelt call for the safeguarding of Somalia’s most precious resource.
