Aware

Aware lies in the Haud, the broad plateau of thorn bush and grasslands in the Somali interior. Rains bring fresh grazing to this dry country, drawing herders and their animals into pastures far from permanent water. In the dry season, people have traditionally moved towards dependable wells outside the grazing grounds. Camels, able to browse on shrubs and travel long distances, are especially well suited to the Haud.
