Mogadishu — Dr. Ali Dahir Mohamed, Ph.D. in Psychology and Deputy President for Academic Affairs at Mogadishu University, presented an insightful research paper at the 2nd Somalia Disaster Resilience Conference.

His study, titled “Determinants of Psychological Resilience in Response to Droughts and Floods in Somalia: A Statistical Study,” explored the mental and emotional factors influencing how Somali communities cope with recurring natural disasters.
