Generational clip 🚨

Somalia's humiliation tour continues:

US AFRICOM Commander Gen. Dagvin Anderson completely destroys a Somalian journalist begging for perpetual US intervention:

- "Somalians feel the US is turning its back to them"

- Gen. Anderson: "At what point does Somalia become independent and take care of its own issues?"

Holy shit

The President of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud reacted angrily after Uganda included a provision in the AUSSOM ministerial communiqué calling for an inclusive political settlement in Somalia. The inclusion prompted him to depart from his prepared remarks and deliver an emotional speech before the meeting concluded.

The E. Sool section is the funniest part of the Somalian report.

What I have been saying for years about Dhulbahante being a clan with a small tax/voting base is now confirmed by Dhulbahante's own numbers.

Total 6-Month Domestic Revenue: $3.09M

Total Customs Revenue: $2.22M

Total Income Tax: $113,903 (Yes, for the entire Sool Bari community! 😁)

The “Single Somalia” policy has been a failure. Continuing it only protects a political fiction while ignoring what actually works on the ground.

This is a must read.

For more than three decades, Somaliland has maintained relative stability, held competitive elections, and governed its territory independently of Mogadishu.

The insistence on treating it as subordinate to a state that cannot control its own capital has produced neither unity nor security. It has simply prolonged a dysfunctional arrangement. Sudan offers a clear warning of where this logic leads.

The international system spent years prioritizing the formal integrity of the Sudanese state even as institutions hollowed out and power fractured. The result has been a devastating civil war, mass displacement, and a country effectively partitioned by force. Preserving the appearance of unity did not prevent collapse it delayed recognition of political realities until the cost became catastrophic.

Somaliland is the opposite case. It has already built functioning institutions without waiting for external permission. Treating it as a temporary exception rather than a political fact continues the same pattern of elevating legal fiction over lived governance.

Recognition would not create a new state. It would acknowledge one that has already proven it can govern itself.

The longer that gap remains, the more the current approach looks less like principle and more like an attachment to failed maps.

🚨 The Somalia project collapse has begun.

Somalia's mid-year budget performance report 2026 was released yesterday.

Its utterly bleak 🧵

[bhlub @thebhlub]

In short:

Foreign aid is drying up.

Domestic revenue is collapsing.

Exports are collapsing.

Capital investment is collapsing.

Somalian Federal member states are utterly broke.

Walaalayaal, this is what state collapse looks like in real time.

Allow ha baaba'do.

Overflight fees, through which Somalians steal revenue from Somaliland, reached just 33.4% of target.

Somalians are attributing the shortfall to the ongoing Middle East war, I say waa habaarkii Jamhuuriyadda Barakaysan.

One of the most tragic consequences of Somaliland's lack of wide global recognition is its exclusion from bodies like @UNESCO, putting irreplaceable world heritage at risk.

While UNESCO helps Somalians preserve the Radio Mogadishu archives (est. 1951), Somaliland's more culturally significant Radio Hargeisa (established in the 1940s as the oldest Somali radio archive), is left without international support.

Somaliland needs recognition not just for its own survival, but to protect world heritage before it is lost forever.

Because they are Somalians.

Somali is a linguistic group and not a nationality or citizenship. Hence, we've:
1. Somalians from Somalia
2. Djibouti-Somalis from Djibouti
3. Ethiopian-Somalis from Ethiopia
4. Kenyan-Somalis from Kenya
5. Somalilanders from Somaliland.

Today is a good day to remember that when the Jews used their synagogues as arms caches, the British confiscated the weapons, rather than destroying the synagogues.

Not only that; the Jews are extremely proud of that desecration of their own temples.

Egypt couldn't intercept one drone strike. Compare this to thousands of Iranian drones and missiles intercepted by Gulf states since earlier this year.I told you that Gulf countries, including the Saudis despite their well known military shortcomings,and especially the highly disciplined and effective Emiratis, are militarily more capable and advanced than talkative Egypt.

⚠️ Muslim Man Killed Defending Woman From Islamophobic Attack

Belgium — A Muslim shopkeeper who stepped in to defend a Muslim woman from racist and Islamophobic abuse on a Brussels tram has died after being beaten so badly that he succumbed to his injuries.

Driss Atouane, who managed a supermarket in the Schaerbeek district, intervened after a man directed racist and anti-Muslim remarks at a woman aboard Tram 55 in the municipality of Evere.

According to the victim's relatives, Driss was struck from behind with a heavy object after confronting the attacker. He collapsed to the ground, where the suspect continued to kick him until several young men intervened to stop the assault.

Driss, who remained conscious after the attack, was taken to Brugmann University Hospital in Schaerbeek. His condition later deteriorated and he fell into a coma before dying on Sunday morning.
