“Neither the future of the Palestinian people nor the territorial sovereignty of Somalia can be used as a bargaining chip…
Unequivocally rejects any steps aimed at advancing this objective, including any attempt by Israel to relocate the Palestinian population from Gaza into Northwestern Somalia…
Will neither accept nor condone the illegal use of any territory, let alone that of a sovereign State which is a Member of the United Nations, to deny the right to self-determination to a people who have been subjected to crimes against humanity for many years…
Rather than contributing genuinely to the commendable international peace efforts in the Middle East through the long-overdue recognition of an independent and sovereign Palestinian State, Israel has instead chosen to project instability into the Horn of Africa, promote division and create new sources of tensions in a region, already facing multidimensional and complex challenges.”
Among the many tools in the disposal of #Somalia to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity is the ability to deny visas to anyone entering our territory. Moreover, no international or local airline dares to violate that policy. And if aggressors charter a private jet, they still have to obtain landing permission from aviation authorities in #Mogadishu.
From #Mogadishu — on the fallout from #Israel’s recognition of #Somaliland, and how in #Somalia this move is widely seen as a risk to regional stability, sovereignty, and the fragile balance in the Horn of #Africa.
The illegal aggression of PM Netanyahu in recognising a part of Somalia’s Northern region is against international law. Meddling with Somalia’s internal affairs is contrary to established legal & diplomatic rules. Somalia & its people are one: inseparable by division from a far.
الخارجية: ندعم وحدة وسلامة وسيادة الصومال، ونرفض الاعتراف الإسرائيلي بصومالي لاند.
تؤكد وزارة الخارجية والمغتربين لدولة فلسطين على دعمها المطلق لوحدة الصومال وسيادته واستقلاله السياسي، بما يضمن لشعب الصومال الشقيق حقه في العيش الكريم والامن والاستقرار، اتساقا مع القانون الدولي قرارات الاجماع العربي والدولي، وقرارات منظمة التعاون الإسلامي وتعبر عن رفضها وادانتها لاعتراف إسرائيل، سلطة الاحتلال غير الشرعي، بإقليم صومالي لاند، ورفضها لأي خطوات تدعم الانفصال او تضفي شرعية عليه، أو تمس بسيادة الصومال ووحدته، وتقوض استقراره.
تؤكد الوزارة ان هذا الاعتراف المرفوض يعتبر جزءا من محاولات إسرائيل، بوصفها قوة استعمارية تعمل على زعزعة الامن والسلم الدوليين، وخاصة الامن الإقليمي والعربي، والتي تصر على تهديد المنطقة وابقائها في حالة من عدم الاستقرار، في مخالفة واضحة للقانون الدولي ولميثاق الأمم المتحدة والقواعد الامرة في ضرورة احترام وحدة وسيادة الدول وسلامة أراضيها.
تذكر وزارة الخارجية والمغتربين أن إسرائيل كانت قد استخدمت اسم صومالي لاند كوجهة لتهجير ابناء شعبنا الفلسطيني وخاصة من قطاع غزة. وعليه تؤكد دولة فلسطين رفضها التام للمخططات الإسرائيلية للتهجير القسري لشعبنا، او تحت أي مسميات أخرى، وتعتبره خطاًَ أحمراً، وتحذر من تساوق البعض مع هذه الطروحات المرفوضة.

Congratulations to Omar Abdulkadir Artan on being named Africa’s Referee of the Year, a proud moment for #Somalia and a well-deserved recognition of excellence, discipline, and professionalism on the continental stage.
As someone who has personally experienced this individual’s online defamation, I can attest to the profound ignorance he consistently displays regarding our local context and societal issues. His lack of even a basic understanding of people’s right to express their opinions and participating in political discourses and debates in media platforms such as X, has created unnecessary confusion, which he takes advantage of and likes to portray it as attack on our brotherly Türkiye interests in #Somalia.
Time and again, he takes ordinary, non-political issues and inflates them into provocative narratives. A clear example is the current situation where a customer simply raised a legitimate concern about mistreatment by Turkish Airlines, yet Umut has attempted to twist it into something entirely different, a distortion that harms the long-standing and friendly relations between our two countries.
It's my humble view that his reckless spread of misinformation, hatred, and cyberbullying is neither condoned nor reflective of the values of the Turkish people or the Government of Türkiye.
Mustaf Takoy won an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship to study at the University of Copenhagen, but Denmark denied his visa for having a Somali passport. @DKinSomalia, why be in Somalia if you deny its qualified youth opportunities? @DanishMFA@MOFASomalia

Did this "landmark agreement" actually lift visa requirements to make travel visa-free for ordinary citizens, as expected from an EAC member?Or is it just creating another bureaucratic checkpoint that adds to the cost of travel, similar to the visa/ETA issues we've seen w/ kenya?
🇸🇴🤝🇺🇬 Somalia and Uganda have signed a landmark agreement between their immigration & citizenship agencies to boost cooperation on travel facilitation and border security. A step forward in regional integration and safety. #Somalia#Uganda#Diplomacy#BorderSecurity
I had the pleasure of visiting the @SomaliainUSA in Washington, D.C., where I met with H.E Dahir Arab and his team. Grateful for their warm welcome and for the excellent work they continue to do in representing and advocating Somalia’s Interest.
@AlinorAbdi Sadly true. Politicians has shifted from serving the people to serving personal pockets. Until real accountability and patriotism exist, nothing will change.
The doomsayers betting on Somalia’s collapse and an Al-Shabab takeover are delusional. Mogadishu is in one of its safest eras, and life here goes on. Anyone imagining an Afghanistan-style fall is chasing a fantasy, not reality.
Mural art in Mogadishu 😮 finally bringing the walls to life with powerful artwork, It’s a powerful form of expression. Strolling in this part of the city is thrilling and actually feels like Joburg, Dakar, Cairo or Casablanca which are known for their vibrant street art.
This is a shameful act of discrimination against Somali citizens. Unfortunately, because our politicians rarely experience it themselves, no one is willing to speak out or challenge it. ‘Ceelna uma qodna, cidna uma maqna’!
Went to a camel milk farm in Garashely, just outside #Mogadishu. Had fresh camel milk. Honestly, nothing beats that straight-from-the-source taste. #Somalia
