@imanmali You are so illiterate ahistorical and pseudo-intellectual it’s cringe
Somalis weren’t a single ethnic group?
Ibn Battuta about Somalis in 1331CE: “Their land is a desert extending for two months' journey from Zayla to Maqdashaw (Mogadishu)” pg. 82
Somalis are 0.03% of Germany.
We’re a completely irrelevant ethnic group in Germany, yet this racist brings us up.
Somalis are experiencing 1935 Nazi Germany level-demonization on social media.
I promise this guy has never met a Somali in his life. Just filled with hate.
Mehdi Hasan: Do you think there are too many Muslims in Germany?
German AfD politician Maximilian Krah: I don't want to have 10,000 Somalis.
Hasan: You don't like Somalis.
Krah: I know how Somalis perform in Western countries and I know how Iranians perform in Western countries. Both are Muslims.

@SuldanMohamed_ Honestly, foreign policy is where the FGS has shined the brightest in the last decade.
There’s lots of countries that try the “let’s be friends with everyone” strategy and fail (ie: India) but Somalia has somehow made it work
Its relationship with Turkey is also elite
@imanmali “But instead of taking firm, constitutional positions to defend Puntland’s autonomy”
Why is Iman so hyper focused on keeping Somalia weak and decentralized … 🤔
Perhaps he gets paid by a certain Arab country (UAE) to keep Somalia fragmented?
Just asking questions 🤔
Çağrı Bey, tarihî görev için Somali'ye ulaştı 🇹🇷
Hem Türkiye’nin hem de Somali’nin enerji tarihinde yepyeni bir sayfa açıyoruz. Sınırlarımızı aşan ilk yurt dışı derin deniz sondajımız için Bismillah diyoruz.

“Set forth, Çağrı Bey! The seas are yours, the paths that open to hope are yours!”
By the will of Allah, Çağrı Bey, one of the world’s largest deep-sea drilling vessels, is set to arrive in Somalia this Friday. Our sincere prayer is that these efforts in Somali waters bring goodness and blessings for both the Somalis and Turks, and for all humanity.
The effort is from us, but success, decree, and good news are from Allah alone.
@sjbozn@CordedKemite@Shafka_Gunner@BBCWorld Wrong. The Prophet pbuh said, “O Mankind! Indeed Allah has done away with the haughtiness of the Days of Ignorance and its vain boasting of one’s ancestry. Mankind is of two types; The pious, upright one, honourable in the sight of Allah and the immoral, sinful one” Tirmidhi 3270
I need to speak up because this stupid war has reached the point when the final escalation bears consequences that are no longer linear. From here there will be no more de-escalation. Widespread infra destruction, human losses, long lasting energy crisis, regime changes,…

“O believers! Do not let some ˹men˺ ridicule others, they may be better than them, nor let ˹some˺ women ridicule other women, they may be better than them. Do not defame one another, nor call each other by offensive nicknames.” 49:11
I'm not sure what Somalia adopted in 2012 was federalism in the classical sense. It was 4.5 clan power-sharing draped in constitutional language. The original architects of the system were less interested in constructing a republic than in distributing political space among competing armed clan warlords. Their primary objective was to end the civil war by any means necessary, even at the expense of long-term national cohesion and popular aspirations.
And in that narrow sense, the system worked. Clan warlords got their enclaves and gained political legitimacy. Violence was partially converted into negotiation. The current problem with that order is not that it failed, but it succeeded on its own terms, which is exactly why reforming it in the past decade was so hard to achieve. Partly, because you are not fixing a broken machine, but are threatening an arrangement that powerful people have built their own political survival around it.
What emerged from that settlement is closer to a negotiated clan elite political confederation than a functioning federation. The federal units were never fully integrated into a constitutional hierarchy. They remained fortified power enclaves whose relationship with Mogadishu is defined by permanent bargaining rather than shared authority. Regional presidents do not govern within the state. They negotiate against it.
Until we're honest about what the 2012 system was designed to do, and who it was designed to serve, any talk of reform will continue treating symptoms as if they were the disease.
