A Somali student was denied the chance to study in Denmark despite receiving a prestigious EU scholarship — because Denmark doesn’t recognise the Somali passport, the Copenhagen Post reports.
Denmark has an embassy in Somalia and deals directly with the government that issued those passports.
A scholarship is meant to reward merit, research potential, or need — not depend on the strength of a travel document.
Ironically, Denmark has hosted multiple conferences attended by Somali officials over the years. It’s unclear whether those officials travelled on Somali passports. No comment so far from @DKinSomalia https://t.co/KjOuIWJrY0
أقام فخامة الرئيس السيد حسن شيخ محمود @HassanSMohamud مساء أمس، مأدبة إفطار على شرف الفائزين في مسابقة القرآن الكريم للجمهورية.
وشارك في مناسبة التكريم معالي وزير الأوقاف والشؤون الدينية ، السيد مختار روبو علي وأعضاء لجنة التحكيم في المسابقة ،بالإضافة إلى أعضاء هئية علماء ا��صومال.
ثم ألقى سيادة الرئيس كلمة أكد فيها أن الاستقرار والأمن بين الأمم، والألفة بين الأفراد، والتآخي بين الجماعة، حمام أمن، ومعين يمن وإسعاد، وأن الإسلام كما وحد بين المسلمين سيظل المؤلف يينهم لأنه دين الرفق والمحبة، وليس دين العنف والإرهاب.
إن التطرف المستتر بالدين، وهو المفضي حتما إلى الإرهاب يستهدف مصادرة الآراء والضمائر، باستخدام كل وسائل العنف والإرهاب، مما يدل على إجرامهم ومناقضتهم لدين الله، دين الوسطية والاعتدال والرحمة والشفقة.
وختاماً قام فخامة الرئيس بتكريم الفائزين في المراتب السبعة الأولى لمسابقة القران الكريم على مستوى الجمهورية
Waxaa nasiib darro ah dad heysta aqalka sare iyo Maxkamada Sare oo maanta la taagan dad kale oo Somali ah wax lama siin karo. Saddexda awood ee waddanka labo ayey dhinacooda martey.
Ra’isul wasaare k/xigeen oo aadan xaq u lahayn marka la fiiriyo power sharing structure ka waddanka oo aan laga hadlin baad u qaadateen inaad leedihiin.
Marki Guddomiyaha Aqal sare iyo Maxkamada sare aad yeelateen ayey ahayd Somalida kale oo xaqa u lahaa in la siiyo ra’isul wasaare k/xigeenka.
Warhooy dulmiga cusub ee waddanka lagu wado ha laga daayo. Dadka aad leedihiin lama siin karo soo waddanka xaq uma laha inay jagada qabtaan.
Yaa ii sheegi karaa sifada aad ku diidan tihiin?
Qof guri muraayad deggan inuu dhagax tuurid bilaabo ma u fiicna. Caqliga ha shaqeeyo. Wa bilaahi tawfiiq
The message is clear. @FarahMaalimM development record and position on human rights speaks for itself. You cannot taint a reputation that has been SOLID for decades! Guuleyso Geesigan jeclaa ❤️
Somalis are political and economically insignificant for our Kikuyu brethren to fight...Somalis don't own 1% of Kikuyus wealth. Imagine the billions of wealth in land, money, deals, scams, tenders the Kikuyu elites stole during Kenyatta 1, Moi, Kibaki and Kenyatta 2...Somali stole zero in 63 years. Now that some Somali traders and hawkers are selling their ware from China in Eastleigh and South C, suddenly the Kikuyu elite come up with a new bogeyman in the name of Somali economic domination. The phobia our Kikuyu brethren have about some few nomads from the North is totally misplaced. It's a false paradigm that Somalis are the new competitors of the Kikuyu economic behemoth. If the Kikuyus think they have won their 63-year war with the Luo, they don't really have to look for new enemies, for none is on the horizon. What I suggest as their new agenda/preoccupation is an urgent need for Mau Mau offsprings to hold to account the children of the home guards and settle their historic accounts once and for all...They must reclaim the land and power from the grandchildren of the home guards.
