A strong step forward for Somaliaโs digital transformation.
Just as a visa is essential for international travel, a National ID become essential for domestic travel. Requiring passengers on local flights to present their National ID strengthens identity verification, improves security, and makes travel services more reliable and accountable.
Congratulations to @NIRASomalia and the @Icasomalia for advancing this important milestone.
The National ID is becoming more than a card , it is a key enabler for accessing services, travelling securely, financial services, SIM registration, and building trusted digital public services.
One person. One identity. One trusted digital future. ๐ธ๐ด
This Syrian old man hid his private library in his home in the city of Damascus since the end of 2011 before escaping to Kuwait out of fear of the Assad regime, where the mere presence of a banned book could lead you to Assad's gulag and death under torture.
Today, the uncle returned to his library and completely removed the wall behind which he had hidden it, revealing valuable books that the Assad regime prohibited possessing and circulating.

The 3rd edition of the week-long Summer School on Digital and Green Transitions kicked off today in Maastricht ๐ณ๐ฑ.
This week, participants from 20 countries across all @ITU-D regions will explore the role of digital transformation in shaping economies and societies, with a focus on emerging digital technologies, e-waste, #AI and behavioural change approaches, and how these can advance sustainability.
Thank you to @UNUMERIT and @EU_Partnerships for making this programme possible.
@RAbdiAnalyst Rashid, as you said you do not specialise in ethnic advocacy, but labelling an entire community as corrupt and trivialising their resilience and hard works while creating division among them (X&Y) reveals your ill-mannered intention & personal grudges towards Somalis. Shameful!!
H.E. Dr. @HassanSMohamud, President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, will attend Day 2 of the Somali National ID Conference, where he will officially close the event.

NIRA commends the press release from the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation of #Somalia, linking all its services to the National Identification System, following the Directive of H.E. Prime Minister @HamzaAbdiBarre.
As a concluding act to the successful #SpringMeetings2025 in Washington, D.C. this week, I had the distinct honor of presenting a traditional artifact โ a Haan from #Somalia โ to the @WorldBank. For the first time, a Somali artifact is now proudly displayed in the World Bank offices.
The artifacts showcased at the World Bank are far more than decorations; they are enduring symbols of unity, respect, partnership, and global responsibility. The presence of Somaliaโs Haan signifies not only our deep appreciation but also our strong commitment to further strengthening our collaboration in the future.
The Haan itself is a powerful emblem of sustenance, resilience, and the rich traditions of the Somali peopleโ values that align beautifully with the principles of sustainable development and partnership.
On behalf of the National Identification & Registration Authority (NIRA), I extend sincere appreciation to H.E. Prime Minister @HamzaAbdiBarre for his decisive leadership in chairing todayโs high-level meeting, where he directed all relevant institutions to fully integrate their services with the National ID Systemโa pivotal step for #Somaliaโs digital future.
Special gratitude to H.E. Ali Yusuf Ali (Ali Xoosh), Minister of Interior, Federal Affairs & Reconciliation, for his steadfast support in advancing this transformative agenda.
NIRA stands ready to support all institutions in implementing this directive, which will:
๐น Streamline service delivery
๐น Combat fraud
๐น Unlock economic opportunities
๐น Strengthen national data systems
๐น Improve Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI).
Together, we are building a secure, inclusive, and digitally empowered Somalia. #NationalID #NIRA
@alihwarsame Ali, To clarify your point of view, the โNational ID does not have an expiration date, while the โIโd numberโ is valid for a lifetime. However, due to technological advancements and improvements, physical cards will be issued for each ten-year period.
After extensive efforts, the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA) is delighted to announce the official launch of the printing process for #Somalia's National ID cards. Read the following press release for more. ๐๐ฟ
