🇸🇴 Somalia’s state minister for foreign affairs speaks to Anadolu at Antalya Diplomacy Forum:

- Ali Mohammad Omar warns Israel’s recognition of a region in Somaliland violates its sovereignty and risks regional stability

🗣️ ‘The actions of Israelis are trying to create more difficulty in a region that is already fragmented’

- He says stability in Horn of Africa is critical as the Gulf of Aden–Red Sea corridor carries about 30% of global trade

🗣️ ‘The world cannot afford another choke point similar to Strait of Hormuz’ https://t.co/UGlIf4UB5l

With support from @iom_somalia, READO delivers Integrated Learning Activities (ILA) & case management, empowering communities through literacy, life skills, financial literacy, entrepreneurship & psychosocial support in a holistic, protective environment.

[UNDP Somalia @UNDPSomalia]

In #Somalia, recurring droughts threaten communities, but abundant sunshine offers a solution. A joint initiative by @UNDP and @MoEWRSo is harnessing solar power to deliver sustainable water access.

So far, 2 of 10 solar-powered boreholes have been completed, providing clean water to 23,000+ people. The goal is to reach 120,000 drought-affected people by 2026.

Special thanks to @SaudiFund_Dev for supporting this effort.

When water reaches every home, stability, dignity and hope grow.

In #Somalia, drought-driven water shortages are forcing families to move in search of survival.

IOM is delivering life-saving WASH support while investing in long-term water solutions.

In 2025, READO demonstrated institutional resilience by scaling operations to reach 318,742 individuals across 18 districts in Somalia. Our focus remained on delivering high-quality humanitarian and development programs grounded in dignity and accountability.What we achieved together:

⚕️189,050 people supported with Health and Nutrition services.

🥘112,480 people reached through Food Security and Livelihoods programs.

🌊68,350 people gained access to clean water and sanitation (WASH).

📈83% of our $5.3M+ budget went directly to serving the community.

Transparency and community-led impact are at the heart of everything we do. Thank you for being part of this mission.

Drought is driving millions of families from their homes, yet @WFP can currently reach only 1 in 7 people in urgent need.

Thank you to @eu_echo for their continued partnership and support to the people of Somalia.

.@FAOSomalia Representative @EPeterschmitt has held talks with Jubaland Speaker Abdi Mohamed Abdirahman to foster community climate resilience under @theGCF (Ugbaad) project. Strong partnerships and better agriculture are key to inclusive growth and fewer humanitarian crises.

“Artificial intelligence carries high potential to support health care workers and to improve how care is delivered. But this potential is only realized if AI is applied with purpose, strong values and people at the center.” Minister Paula Ingabire (@MusoniPaula), Minister of ICT & Innovation for Rwanda (@RwandaICT)

Rwanda currently has only one healthcare worker per 1,000 people, far below the @WHO recommendation of about four per 1,000. It would take 180 years for that gap to close at the current pace of progress. So, as part of the 4x4 reform initiative, Minister of Health Dr. Sabin Nsanzimana (@nsanzimanasabin) recently announced the launch of an AI-powered Health Intelligence Center in Kigali to help ensure limited health care resources are being used as wisely as possible.

As part of the #Horizon1000 initiative, we aim to accelerate the adoption of AI tools across primary care clinics, within communities and in people’s homes. These AI tools will support health workers, not replace them.

@ZohranKMamdani congratulations Zohran Mamdani for your election of the #NYW Mayor and first ever Muslim elected

[Minister Abdinasir Abdi Arush @nasirarush]

Situation Update:

Since the start of the year, Food Security and Nutrition Assessment Unit (FSNAU) IPC Phase classification reports show a steady rise in the number of people facing Phase 4 food insecurity — the emergency level — across the South West State:
•Jan–Mar: 72,150
•Apr–Jun: 139,970
•Jul–Sep: 150,540
•Oct–Dec: 227,340

The chart clearly shows this worsening trend.

Nutrition crisis deepens in South West State: FSNAU projects more than 134,000 children under 5 will suffer from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) between Aug 2025–July 2026 which is 32% of Somalia’s total caseload.

Rising food insecurity and malnutrition in South West State signal a looming humanitarian crisis.

Without urgent action, Emergency-level cases will continue to climb through late 2025 and into early 2026 and potentially could escalate into Phase 5 (catastrophe) by early 2026.

The Ministry urgently call upon Somalia’s international partners, donors, and humanitarian organizations to scale up life-saving food and nutrition interventions.

#GlobalGateway is supporting Somalia build connections that power opportunity: strengthening trade and infrastructure, and creating local jobs.

As leaders gathered in Brussels for the #GlobalGatewayForum, partnerships like this show what is possible.

[Action Against Hunger, Somalia @ACFsomaliaCD]

In #Bakool, permagardens are making a big difference. With support from @UKinSomalia through #BRCiS, @ACFsomaliaCD is working with 180 farmers, providing inputs and training. Families enjoy diverse, nutritious meals, earn income from surplus harvests & build resilience together.

The TVET Mechanization Training Program continues its practical lessons — equipping youth with hands-on skills in tractor operation.

This initiative is a public-private partnership between @MOASomalia, @Case_IH and @gaalooge.

Drought conditions are deepening in northern & eastern regions.

Failed rains, water scarcity, lack of pasture, limited services are pushing people to the brink.

2.5M people impacted, 887K in 16 severely affected districts.

Partners need to urgently scale up #humanitarian aid.

[Dirie Abdi Mohamed @dirie_masoud]

Post-harvest losses in Somalia are estimated at 20–30% due to lack of equipment.

To address this, @MOASomalia has distributed 100+ threshers & milling machines to farmers in Hirshabelle, Southwest, Galmudug & Jubaland over the past 6 months.

Mechanization = food security
