🎙️ Across the #HornOfAfrica, young innovators are using technology to curb #climate risk. They're not waiting for warnings to become disasters, they're acting on them.

This #InternationalYouthDay, we're not just celebrating their work, we're handing them the mic to share their experiences and drive the conversation forward. #YouthDay

“I hereby declare that North East State is a full federal member state of the Federal Republic of Somalia. It shall enjoy all the rights accorded to other federal member states. The Government is committed to the reconstruction and development of the North East regions, and the security, defense, and protection of these areas remain the responsibility of the Federal Government.”
— H.E. @HassanSMohamud, President of FRS.

[SOYAN INITATIVE @SOYAN_Org]

@AUC_PAPS The unilateral recognition of the so-called “S.L” is an outright violation of Somalia’s sovereignty. It is reckless, illegitimate, and a direct attack on African unity. No external power has the authority to divide Somalia or impose political fragmentation. Somalia is one nation.
