Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Africa is home to over 50% of the world's rural population. Surprisingly, even after facing adverse situations during colonial rule, 22 million Africans depend on some form of pastoral activity for their livelihood. Berbers and Somalis are some of the pastoral communities of Africa. The community of Berbers is indigenous to North Africa, and Somali herders dwell in the Horn of Africa, particularly the country of Somalia. Other pastoral communities include Bedouins, Maasai, Boran, and Turkana. They mainly inhabit the semiarid grasslands or arid deserts where rainfed agriculture is tough. So, some combine agriculture with pastoral activity. Others support their pastoral earnings by doing trade or additional odd jobs.
