Desert Locust Situation Update 22 July 2021
SWARMS MATURE WITH RAINS IN NE ETHIOPIA

As a result of ongoing intensive aerial control operations, the number and size of immature swarms in northwest Somalia continues is declining. Strong winds have limited swarm movement and hamper aerial operations at times. Although no new swarms have arrived in northeast Ethiopia during the past week, good rains have fallen and some of the swarms have moved towards the western lowlands of Afar where they have matured and are likely to be ready to lay eggs. A few swarms may have reached the highlands in Amhara and eastern Tigray where they are expected to continue to the summer breeding areas in Sudan. In Yemen, one immature swarm seen earlier in the highlands moved further south where it is likely to continue to areas of recent rainfall in the interior.
