As we begin another year in the Islamic calendar, let it be a time of reflection, gratitude, and renewed faith. May Allah guide our hearts, strengthen our communities, and grant us wisdom, patience, and success in all that we do. #عام_هجري_جديد_١٤٤٨هـ

No diplomatic visit, foreign envoy, or discussion of opening embassies can alter a fundamental fact: Somaliland remains part of the Federal Republic of Somalia.
Somalia’s territorial integrity must be preserved. And its future must be built through unity, not division. #Somalia

[Hon Sadik Warfa @HonWarfa]

I extend my warmest wishes to the Muslim Ummah on the blessed occasion of Eid al-Adha. Eid al-Adha is a time of Joy, reflection, compassion, and coming together as one people. It reminds us of the values of Iman, patience, unity, and responsibility toward one another.
As we celebrate, let us also strengthen our love for our country and renew our commitment to tackling the challenges facing our nation and region together. It is time for us to come together as one nation and place Somalia above personal, political, and divisive interests. True patriotism requires sacrifice, not only from leaders, but from citizens as well. We must all be willing to give our best for the future of our country.

Outsiders will not change the future of Somalia; it will be changed by Somalis themselves. We are fully capable of transforming Somalia into one of the strongest and most respected countries in Africa if we choose unity, responsibility, and long-term vision over conflict and short-term gain. Our leaders have a responsibility to create a country where young people can thrive, innovate, find opportunities, and believe in their future at home rather than lose hope.
We must embrace the politics of unity rather than division. Somalia is now 65 years old and approaching 66 years of independence this June. Yet countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda, countries younger than Somalia, have managed to strengthen their institutions, improve governance, expand infrastructure, and grow their economies. This progress did not happen by accident. It was built through leadership, national vision, responsible citizens, and a collective determination from both leaders and the people to move their countries forward. Somalia can achieve the same and even more if we unite around a common national purpose.

Eid al-Adha reminds us that sacrifice and unity can overcome even the greatest challenges. This should be the moment we choose cooperation over division, nation-building over political conflict, and responsibility over blame. Somalia can rise again, and that responsibility belongs to all of us.

Eid Mubarak to all Muslims around the world. May this blessed occasion bring peace, stability, and blessings to every family and every nation. #عيد_الأضحى

Today, we proudly remember the legacy of the Somali Youth League, a movement that awakened national consciousness and helped unite Somalis around a shared dream of freedom, dignity, and unity. Their courage, vision, and sacrifice laid the foundation for our independence and proved that when Somali people unite behind a common purpose, no obstacle is too great.

The Somali Youth League teaches us an enduring lesson: unity is the engine of national progress. They rose above divisions and believed in one nation with one destiny. Today, Somalia still needs that same spirit. Many of the challenges slowing our progress, political disputes, insecurity, weak institutions, and missed economic opportunities, are rooted in disunity. A divided nation cannot compete, cannot grow, and cannot reach its full potential.

With unity, Somalia can build strong institutions, create jobs for its youth, attract investment, modernize infrastructure, improve education, and secure lasting peace. With unity, we can turn our strategic location, natural resources, and talented people into national prosperity. With unity, Somalia can rise as a respected and influential nation. The choice is clear: division delays us, unity advances us.
The lessons of the Somali Youth League are timeless: patriotism matters, leadership matters, and national interest must come first. They showed us that vision, courage, and collective purpose can overcome even the greatest challenges. Their story is not only history but also a blueprint for the future.

To our leaders today, this anniversary carries an urgent responsibility. Our people are suffering from unemployment, rising hardship, and uncertainty, while many of our youth are being left behind in an increasingly competitive world. Leaders must come together for the sake of the nation and put the country above personal interests. We must mentor our young generation, inspire them with the spirit of the Somali Youth League, and prepare them to lead with integrity, discipline, and patriotism.

Somalia’s strategic position gives us every opportunity to become a center for trade, investment, logistics, and regional influence. But this requires leaders who wish the country well, who create the right environment for business, who strengthen institutions, and who govern with responsibility. The Somali Youth League began with unity. Today, we as leaders can continue that journey through dialogue, compromise, job creation, youth empowerment, peacebuilding, and nation-first leadership. Somalia has done it before, and Somalia can do it again. #Somalia

We must build a strong “Made in Somalia” brand recognized across Africa and the world. Labour Day is not only a celebration—it is a call to build, expand, and lead. The opportunity is in our hands, and Somalia’s future can be competitive, prosperous, and globally respected.

[Hon Sadik Warfa @HonWarfa]

Happy Labour https://t.co/wQKcx9Ljrd we celebrate the dignity of work and the resilience of the Somali people. I reflect not only on the progress we have made, but on the bold opportunities ahead. The next chapter must be driven by ambition, innovation, and action. #Somalia

[Hon Sadik Warfa @HonWarfa]

Somalia can build industries that create jobs. Our coastline can power a blue economy through fisheries and marine exports. Our sunlight can drive solar energy industries. Industrial zones, free trade areas, manufacturing, textiles and digital services can transform our economy.

[Hon Sadik Warfa @HonWarfa]

After a month of fasting, reflection and good deeds during the holy month of Ramadan, we emerge spiritually renewed having strengthened our iman, discipline, generosity and compassion. Eid Mubarak to you & your loved ones. May this Eid bring peace, stability & prosperity to all.

Somalia’s stability depends on leaders who choose dialogue over deadlock and consensus over confrontation. It is not the time to walk away from dialogue. At moments like this, compromise is not weakness, it is patriotism. 👇#Somalia

[Hon Sadik Warfa @HonWarfa]

Today marks the first Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, a deeply special moment for Muslims around the world. When two sacred blessings meet, the blessed day of Jumu’ah and the holy month of fasting, it is a powerful reminder that we are all servants of Allah, united in faith, humility, and gratitude.

On this meaningful day, let us be thankful for what we have and mindful of those who are suffering. May we use this moment to reflect, to give, and to extend compassion to those in need. Let us also pray for peace across the world, and commit ourselves to being a source of support, mercy, and kindness to others. May Allah accept our prayers and guide us toward unity, generosity, and lasting peace. #Jummah #MUBARAK

[Hon Sadik Warfa @HonWarfa]

The long-awaited meeting between the Federal Government of Somalia and the Somali Future Council has started today at @TheVillaSomalia At a time when the nation needs calm and clarity, this engagement is both timely and necessary. Dialogue is not a concession; it is leadership. When leaders choose to sit across the table, they send a powerful message that Somalia’s future must be shaped through conversation, not confrontation. In the spirit of the holy month of Ramadan, I believe we are all called to be kinder, more patient, and more willing to listen to one another.

This sacred time reminds us that humility and reconciliation are strengths, not weaknesses. It is an opportunity for leaders to rise above divisions and embrace the responsibility of guiding the nation with wisdom and compassion.
But a meeting alone is not enough; what follows matters more. The real test will be whether this engagement leads to concrete outcomes, credible electoral pathways, mutual guarantees, and a shared commitment to stability. There must be an agreement that clearly spells out a consensus-based election, one that inspires confidence and reflects the collective will of the Somali people. Somalia has suffered too long from cycles of political deadlock followed by crisis.

We cannot afford another round of missed opportunities disguised as dialogue. This moment should mark the beginning of a new political culture rooted in listening, compromise, and responsibility. The country is watching, and the people expect more than symbolism. They expect courage, clarity, and decisions that place the nation above factional interests.
If handled with sincerity, this engagement can become a turning point. Not because differences will disappear, but because leaders will prove that unity is built through engagement, not exclusion. Somalia does not need perfect agreement; it needs responsible leadership that chooses dialogue every time the stakes are high. #Somalia

[Hon Sadik Warfa @HonWarfa]

I extend my warmest and most sincere wishes to all my Muslim brothers and sisters around the world as we welcome the blessed month of Ramadan 1447AH / 2026. May this sacred month, filled with reflection, prayer, and compassion, bring you moments of joy, inner peace, and profound spiritual growth. Ramadan reminds us not only to strengthen our relationship with Allah, but also to deepen our humanity—through kindness, humility, and generosity toward one another.

As we enter this holy month, we must also remember those facing hardship, especially communities affected by drought and food insecurity. Ramadan calls us to action, not only reflection. Let us extend our hands to those in need, support humanitarian efforts, and ensure that no family goes hungry while others have enough. Charity during this time is not just an obligation—it is a powerful expression of solidarity and mercy.

This Ramadan also arrives at an important moment for our country. As conversations around electoral reform and national direction continue, may this month inspire wisdom, restraint, and sincerity among leaders and citizens alike. Let it be a season where dialogue replaces division, where compromise serves unity, and where decisions are guided by justice and the long-term good of the nation.

Beyond our borders, Ramadan is a reminder of the universal values that bind humanity—peace, dignity, and coexistence. In a world facing conflict and uncertainty, may this holy month renew our collective commitment to global peace and mutual respect. And as a nation, may we use this time to reaffirm our unity, strengthen our compassion, and move forward with a shared sense of purpose.

May Allah accept our fasting, prayers, and good deeds. May He ease the suffering of those in hardship, guide our leaders with wisdom, and grant our country peace, stability, and unity. Ramadan Mubarak. #Ramadan2026

[Hon Sadik Warfa @HonWarfa]

I am encouraged that we are speaking about the unity of the nation. But unity cannot remain a slogan—it must become a practice, a discipline, and a shared responsibility. Loving Somalia is not expressed only in speeches; it is demonstrated in how we conduct politics, how we resolve disagreements, and how we treat one another as citizens of the same republic.

To respect our country means respecting its institutions, even when they do not favor us. It means accepting that national interest is higher than regional, clan, or personal calculations. It means recognizing that every reckless statement, every act of incitement, and every refusal to compromise weakens not an opponent—but the state itself.

National unity requires maturity. We must move beyond politics that thrives on division. Our history has shown us the cost of fragmentation: insecurity, displacement, lost generations, and stalled development. We cannot claim to defend Somalia while contributing to its internal weakening. True patriotism demands restraint, dialogue, and a willingness to put the flag above faction.

Respecting our country also means protecting its dignity. We must strengthen our sovereignty through functioning institutions, credible elections, accountable leadership, and a security structure that answers to law—not to individuals. A respected nation is built on order, fairness, and predictability. When institutions are strong, unity becomes sustainable.

Unity does not mean uniformity. We are diverse in region, clan, opinion, and perspective. That diversity should be a source of strength—not conflict. The measure of a united nation is not the absence of disagreement, but the presence of mechanisms to manage it peacefully and lawfully. Disagreement handled with respect strengthens democracy. Disagreement handled with hostility erodes it.

If we are serious about unity, then every political actor must ask a simple question before acting: does this strengthen Somalia, or does it weaken it? The answer to that question should guide our conduct.

Our country has endured too much division. This generation carries the responsibility to reverse that pattern. Unity must move from conversation to commitment—from words to action. Only then will we build a Somalia that is stable, dignified, and prepared for the future.

The arrival of the President of Puntland and the President of Jubaland in Mogadishu signals a good start. Their presence sends a message that dialogue is possible, that engagement is preferable to escalation, and that Somalia’s future must be negotiated around a table, not determined through confrontation. But symbolism alone is not enough. This moment must translate into substance, clarity, and measurable outcomes.

As these parties convene, the discussions on the upcoming elections must go beyond procedural debates. They must produce a credible, inclusive, and transparent framework that restores public trust and prevents another cycle of uncertainty. The country cannot endure endless political transitions without consolidation. Elections must strengthen the state, not fracture it further. More importantly, this meeting must align electoral discussions with urgent national priorities.

Ending violence and consolidating national security must be the first pillar. Somalia cannot build democracy on insecurity. This requires unifying command structures, accelerating security sector reform, strengthening accountability within the armed forces, and ensuring a smooth and sustainable transition from ATMIS to AUSSOM. With AUSSOM facing financial constraints, leaders must openly address funding sustainability, burden-sharing, and a clear roadmap toward Somali-led security ownership. Security must no longer depend indefinitely on external arrangements; it must be institutionalized domestically.

Facilitating humanitarian response while safeguarding human rights is equally urgent. Drought, displacement, and food insecurity continue to threaten millions. Humanitarian action must be coordinated, depoliticized, and rights-based. Protection of civilians, especially women and children, must be central to all interventions. Access to food, water, healthcare, and education is not charity—it is a governance responsibility.

Resolving recurring political crises through durable constitutional and institutional reforms is critical. Somalia cannot continue operating under incomplete frameworks and contested interpretations. The constitution must be finalized through broad consensus, institutional roles must be clarified, and electoral laws must be harmonized with federal principles. Political disputes should be resolved within institutions—not on the streets or through parallel arrangements. Stability requires predictability, and predictability requires clear rules accepted by all.

Tackling corruption, youth unemployment, inequality, and strengthening national cohesion and integration must define the next phase of governance. Corruption weakens institutions and erodes trust. Youth unemployment fuels frustration and migration. Regional and clan-based inequalities deepen division. A serious reform agenda must prioritize merit-based systems, equitable resource distribution, investment in education and entrepreneurship, and policies that bridge regional disparities. National cohesion will not emerge from rhetoric; it must be built through fairness and inclusion.

This meeting must not become another political checkpoint. It must mark the beginning of coordinated state-building. Somalia’s challenges are interconnected; security, governance, economy, and social cohesion reinforce one another. If leaders approach this moment with compromise, realism, and national responsibility, it can become a turning point. If they approach it with rigid positions and short-term calculations, the opportunity will slip away.
The nation is watching. The responsibility is historic. ##Somalia
