@FAOSomalia @MOASomalia @AfDB_Group Strong national seed policy key 2 transforming Somalia’s seed sector boosting local breeding, scaling quality production, moving us closer 2 true seed sovereignty. This means fewer food imports, better nutrition, and stronger food security.
Kudos @MoA_FGS and @FAOSomalia 🌱🇸🇴 🙏

Robust Seed Information Management Strategy is the ultimate catalyst & strength entire seed sector 4 empowering SARIS & MOAI. By advancing seed traceability, plant variety registry, governance, and VC coordn, this improves seed informn access, curbs counterfeits, & boosts FS!

[FAO in Somalia @FAOSomalia]

Better information, stronger seed sector!

@FAOSomalia, @MOASomalia and SARIS convened national stakeholders to review the Seed Information Management Strategy—a catalyst for stronger seed value chains, better decision-making, & resilient food systems.

Thanks @AfDB_Group.

The world map you've known all your life is wrong! Nearly every country at the UN voted to adopt a new map that shows a more accurate size of Africa after ~500 years of "symbolic minimization."

Only the US voted against it.

I explained why this is important on CNN

Following Puntland’s Date Palm Exhibition & Market Day in Garowe, I visited date palm farms to see how #FAO can better support farmers across the value chain. The visit confirmed strong opportunities to strengthen climate resilience & sustainable production for #BetterProduction.

@Zemedeneh @Ryanair @BloombergAfrica @cnbcafrica @BBCAfrica @FT @WSJ When a one-way domestic flight from Jijiga to Addis costs more than $60, it completely cuts off ordinary citizens from the capital. If we want true economic integration, regional travel has to be priced for the average worker, not just corporate travelers. #EthiopianAirlines

Omar Artan didn’t just make the #FIFAWorldCup, he made history as the first Somali referee to get there, and as #Africa’s best. That milestone stands no matter what. So sorry to see this, Omar. You reached the summit of your profession and inspired a generation back home just by getting there, and being kept off the pitch you earned doesn’t change that. This won’t be the end of your story on the world stage. The world stands with you as one family, wishing you resilience now and many more major finals to come. Solidarity. #Somalia

[IITA @IITA_CGIAR]

What does our research at IITA-CGIAR say about maize? 

Our breeding efforts are focusing on boosting #maize productivity, #nutrition, and stress resilience using advanced breeding and climate-smart approaches. Scientists at IITA are identifying genetic markers, developing hardy lines, and validating improved varieties that can thrive under heat and drought stress.

Some of the varieties developed by our scientists are resistant to pests, diseases, drought, and parasitic weeds. 

💡Maize research isn’t just lab work, it is feeding communities and building resilient food systems.

Here is one of my latest articles. The title speaks for itself. It is a sobering reminder that our country's problems are our responsibility. No one else can help us. The future is in our hands if good Somalis become united with Allah's guidance. Bless the committed, Aamiin.
