I guess it is too early for comments.
So……….what happened to the dams? Not maintained anymore, eh? Well, at least you have a democratically elected govt, so I am sure they will be eager to fix this problem as soon as possible.
When I was in the Army we hated the spring. It rains a lot and the soil doesn't absorb the water. The sand turns into a sticky thick oily mess. Some days we couldn't even do missions because your boots would get stuck
Yup thank god that he didnt kill you with the sudden flood he sent.
Is this really a catastrophic event?
It’s funny how the way she narrates the flooding like it’s the worst flood ever. 😂
May allahsuphanatuala help kurdish brothers and sisters
wow in south sudan there is a heat wave going on and i guess that its also very dry. they could need just a bit of this water but its climate change so that is our new "normal"!
