Many people criticised the government’s decision to clear the slums in Tarabuunka. Today, the area has clean roads, organised neighbourhoods, and beautiful houses. Sometimes, change is unpopular before its benefits become visible.
I was delighted to meet the renowned lawyer Ahmed Nasir today and to present him with a copy of my book, Somalia: A State in Search of Exceptional Leadership. It was a pleasure to engage with such a distinguished legal mind and share my reflections on the leadership challenges and opportunities facing Somalia.
Thank you, Ahmed Nasir, for your time, encouragement, and interest in this important discussion on leadership, governance, and the future of Somalia.

The Heritage Institute for Policy Studies was honored to participate in the unveiling of the Center for Somali Studies at Yangzhou University, the first initiative of its kind in China, represented by our Deputy Director, Dr. Abdirashid Ismail.
During the event, Dr. Ismail also presented at a seminar on the Horn of Africa situation, contributing insights on regional dynamics and policy.
This milestone advances the global study of Somalia’s history, culture, and policy while strengthening academic ties between Somalia and China.
The event coincided with the launch of an exhibition commemorating 65 years of diplomatic relations between Somalia and China, highlighting the enduring partnership between the two countries.
Two key Memoranda of Understanding were also signed: on April 7, 2026, in Beijing between the China-Africa Institute and Somali National University, and on April 9, 2026, between Somali National University and Yangzhou University, expanding opportunities for research collaboration and academic exchange.
We extend our sincere appreciation to H.E. Ambassador @DrHodanOsman for her instrumental role in making this achievement possible.

Today, I opened a two-day workshop in Mogadishu on advancing women’s leadership, organized by the Somali Gender Equality Movement. I highlighted key reforms, including the 30% women’s quota in electoral laws and progress on legislation addressing GBV, FGM, and family rights.
I look forward to constructive discussions over the coming days that will further strengthen women’s leadership and expand their role in shaping Somalia’s future.

Seasonal patterns are shifting. The cycles of Gu’ and Deyr that #Somali communities relied on for generations are becoming unpredictable. We are already seeing prolonged #droughts and heavier #floods, while the world remains off track in cutting the emissions driving this crisis.
Had a fruitful meeting with H.E. @a_uraloglu, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure of the Republic of Türkiye, on the margins of the 2nd OIC Conference of Transport Ministers in Istanbul.
