The violence unfolding in Mogadishu is reckless. Somali leaders on all sides have a responsibility to preserve stability and resolve differences through peaceful means.

Actions taken in the coming hours and days may have lasting consequences for Somalia’s security, unity, and future.

Africa holds 60% of the world's best solar potential & receives only 2% of global clean energy investment.

With the right finance, the continent could generate 10 times more electricity than it needs by 2040 – entirely from renewables.

Africa must be at the centre of climate justice.

For Somalia, the relationship with Turkey is not simply about oil. It is part of a broader strategic partnership – one that touches infrastructure, security, and long-term development. Rejecting engagement is not neutrality. It is a choice, and it carries real consequences. https://t.co/6sEzi8FMB0

Mr. President congrats for excellent work, enhancing partnership with Turkiye government in the area of energy and natural resources. But its about time to reverse the uniletral decision to amend the National Draft Constitution illegally inorder to extend your mandate unconstitutionally. Mr. President HSM, protect and preserve your legacy by calling a National Consultative Conference and agree with the opposition stakeholders a National Election Roadmap before your mandate expires in less than 30 days!
Save Somalia from war and preserve your legacy.

"They examine Ethiopia’s central place in the region, how its push for sea access is raising tensions with neighbours and the prospects for wider regional realignments. Finally, they explore what stabilisation might require, from reducing proxy competition to rebuilding regional diplomacy."

A real compromise should be based not on temporary political arrangements. The real compromise should be based a serious political compromise on ending indirect elections, closing for good the political brokers market place and agree on gradual democratic elections roadmap for Somalia. No more indirect elections in Somalia, we need to save Somalia for politics of indirect elections and engineered political, crises theatre in every four years.
