I strongly condemn the election timetable that was announced today. This unilateral move risks creating parallel elections in the country, political instability, civil unrest and threatens the existence of Somali State.

@BaidoaOnline Puntland has taken control of all forces loyal to federal government.
And everything is deeper than the federal government thinks.

BREAKING: Justice and Solidarity Party (JSP) Secretary General resigns in scathing statement, accusing Somalia’s President of turning the party and state into a “one‑man show.”

In a March 25 departure, he cited:
1. Centralized power
2. Mishandled constitutional amendments
3. Unilateral 2026 election push
4. “Destructive” policy toward Federal Member States
5. “Legal outrage” – restricting lawmakers’ travel

Villa Somalia has not yet responded. Opposition calls it proof of fractured leadership.

Al-Shabab are not freedom fighters, they are a criminal enterprise hiding behind religion.

They groom children with a calculated 12-chapter indoctrination script: 3 chapters glorifying “jihad,” 4 chapters belittling the value of this world, 3 chapters planting self-hate until youth despise life and themselves, and 2 chapters selling fake fantasies of paradise and rewards.

This blueprint, many argue, mirrors narratives long shaped by powerful imperialist institutions to keep Africa unstable and exploitable. This is not liberation, it’s psychological warfare manufacturing disposable fighters.

African intellectuals must interrogate these movements independently, expose the manipulation, and reject both extremist propaganda and recycled western narratives .

We analyzed 8,000+ security incidents to assess the counter-Al-Shabaab offensive.

Since May 2022, Al-Shabaab INCREASED attacks by 70%—from 68/month to 116/month.  The offensive didn't degrade the group. It adapted.  Urban terrorism declined. Rural insurgency surged.

Prominent Somali religious scholars have issued a formal statement delivering a strong appeal to the senior leadership of the Federal Government of Somalia and the heads of Federal Member States, urging them to work decisively to preserve the country’s unity and stability.

The scholars’ statement was addressed directly to the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, calling on him to exercise inclusive and patient leadership grounded in tolerance, compromise, and political reconciliation.

They emphasized the importance of collective responsibility among national and regional leaders to prevent further political tensions and to prioritize efforts that strengthen cohesion and long-term peace across the country.

The gum of Balanites aegyptiaca is chewable and has a slightly astringent taste. It is also used as an adhesive to waterproof traditional containers. In Somali, the tree is known as ‘Quud’, and its gum is called ‘Xanjoquud’, literally ‘the gum of Quud’.”

#UPDATE: Jubaland and Puntland Leaders Expected to Hold Key Political Meeting in Nairobi

A high-level political meeting is expected to take place later this week—on either Thursday or Friday—in Nairobi, Kenya, between Jubaland President Ahmed Madobe and Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni.

The two Federal Member State leaders have been vocal critics of the current political direction pursued by the Federal Government of Somalia. Their main concerns include:
1.The process of constitutional amendments
2.The framework for upcoming national elections
3.The structure of power-sharing and federal governance

The meeting is widely believed to be aimed at forging a unified political stance on these contentious issues. It is seen as an effort to strengthen regional cooperation and present a coordinated response to the federal government’s approach, particularly on matters that have sparked political disputes.
