Tens of thousands of people are celebrating Somalia’s Independence Day in the capital, Mogadishu, with the participation of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Before 2022, such a celebration would have been almost unimaginable.
The 1 July celebrations commemorate the independence of the country’s southern regions from Italy in 1960 and the union of the South and the North, which marked the birth of Somalia as a sovereign and independent state. The celebrations are taking place in Mogadishu.

"We can never accept this. The Americans must leave our country, and they should be expelled immediately Halane. How can we possibly have a life of dignity and coexistence with the Americans?" 😡 @HassanSMohamud
