If you have a goal in doing things, you will enjoy doing them. Work is a chore, It is work, not fun. Drifting around aimlessly leads you to end up nowhere in achievement. You simply turn your vision into reality if you have the right plan and a hard-working attitude.

Big congratulations to Dr. Ismail Abdullahi Elmi @IsmailAElmi3 on the publication of “Somali Legal Pluralism: The Need for Proper Harmonization” in The Malayan Law Journal [2026] 2 MLJ!

Co-authored with Ashgar Ali Bin Ali Mohamed, the paper examines the coexistence of Shari’ah, customary Xeer, and formal law in Somalia and makes a strong case for systematic harmonization with clear referral mechanisms and institutional reforms.

Timely and much-needed work for anyone working on justice sector development and governance in Somalia. 👏
Thank you for sharing a prepublication draft earlier as well.

Haddii rabitaanka qofku ka sara maro sharciga, tay dhashaa waa tu kale.

Dalka shaqadiisa lixi-jeclo iyo sarriigasho ha lagu soo celiyo.

Filan mayn in heerkan oo kale la gaarayo waayadaan.

Wax aad u xun weeye in qof masuul ka ah hay’adaha dawladda mid ka mid ahi si cad ummadda been ugu sheego oo weliba waxxdigiigixasho ah uusan muujin.

Heer ka hooseeya halbeegga ku habboon bulshadeennu mudantahay weeye

[Ismail Elmi @IsmailAElmi3]

Gobannimada dadka Soomaaliyeed waxay ku jirtaa is aqbalaad iyo danta guud oo laga wada shaqeeyo.

Kala qaybsanaanta iyo is xumayntu wax weyn ayay inaka khaldaysaa.

Xoojinta Dawladnimada Somalia waxay ka bilaabataa kobcinta kalsoonida u dhexaysa bulshada…. Iyada ayaana dhali karta in madaxda la addeeco.

Waagaas dabadiis waa in system sharci iyo hab-raacyo cadcad ku dhisan la hir geliyo.

Waxaa la joogaa xilli ka mid ah xilliyadaloogu baahi badanyahay midnimo, turaale, lixijeclo iyo xeerin.

Falalka iyo hadallada miidda bulshadu waa in ay ku qotomaan Sharci iyo toobboonaan ee aanay ka imaan caadifad, qof-jeclaysi iyo dan gaar ah.

It has to change. True, this has to change. A whole dysfunctional system and institutionalization of disorder. #SomaliPolitics

Responsible government with responsible institutions run by responsible functionaries is the solution to the divergence and political disagreement.
