Hitler’s Untermenschen language stripped moral status to make coercion administrative. Trump’s dehumanizing rhetoric toward Somalis works similarly in function. When power adopts this language, legal norms lose authority & protection shifts from rights to power.

@4rukun We celebrate this great success! Your action on this agreement, on behalf of the MFA, has directly resulted in a surge of livestock exports, achieving the $1 billion target from an initial $523 million.
@4rukun@FEGnassingbe@rdussey@LomePSF Thank u Chairman @4rukun 4 ur exceptional leadership of the @LomePSF. The success of this 2025 Forum is a testament to your vision and the strong direction provided by H.E. President @FEGnassingbe and Minister @rdussey. Lomé truly is a working node for African statecraft.
Congratulations to H.E. President Faure Gnassingbé, @FEGnassingbe, President of the Council and to my brother Prof. Robert Dussey, @rdussey, Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Integration, Cooperation, and Togolese Abroad, for their leadership of the second edition of @LomePSF Lomé Peace and Security Forum 2025.
Under their direction, Lomé is not a stage but a working node of African peace and security statecraft. The Forum now sets agendas, aligns actors, and carries discussions forward into dialogue rules and cooperation. Thank you for the trust to steer this year’s conference and to help consolidate the LPSF as an institution that moves peace and security agendas into rules, timelines, and accountability.
My thanks to the moderators, panelists, and participants whose active participation and discipline made this LPSF 2025 the continent’s principal peace and security gathering. They kept time, framed hard questions, surfaced trade-offs, and drove convergences that now carry forward in working groups and bilateral follow-up. Their work reaffirmed Lomé as Africa’s arena for serious strategic coordination.
LPSF 2025 affirmed that the work of peace in Africa is not rhetorical. It is institutional, cumulative, and disciplined, the kind of work through which states learn to endure and leadership acquires meaning.
On behalf of @FEGnassingbe , President of the Council, I would like to express my deep gratitude to all participants, partners, organizers, and stakeholders of this second edition of @LomePSF .Base on our collective commitment and remarkable engagement, we were able to share ideas, strengthen our #alliances, and develop concerted, integrated, solid, and concrete approaches that take into account the complex security challenges #Africa is facing.
This positive momentum deepens the hope for the #emergence of an Africa capable of achieving its own #autonomous #peace and #security agenda, consolidating its place within the global architecture of stability.
Together, we will achieve ! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

@EIshmael_@EIshmael_ Despite Political differences, we have contributed to national unity and security. Opposing leadership doesn’t erase our state’s progress and resilience.

KNOW YOUR HISTORY:
To the Somali young generation who were misled into believing their country was always the begging bowl and the laughing stock that the Ethiopia-armed clan-based rebels rendered it to be in 1991, this is Omar Arteh Qalib, the foreign minister of Somalia in 1972, dictating to the region what to do and what not to do about a raging war between Tanzania and Uganda.
If you pay attention, you will notice that the Somali top diplomat, who deployed SNA Commandos along the border between Uganda and Tanzania, is warning the Tanzanian forces who invaded Uganda a week earlier. "The Peace Formula" he is referring to is the "Mogadishu Deal," a Somalia initiative through which a lasting solution would be reached between the two countries.
New York Times (October 08, 1978)

Arteh is proudly disembarking from a clearly marked Somali Air Force airplane at Jomo Kenyatta Airport to talk to an anxious Western press on his way to a hotel in Nairobi, where he was staying overnight so that he could share the development of the Mogadishu Deal with H.E. Mzee Jomo Kenyatta the next morning. President Kenyatta then saw it perfectly fitting to completely defer to Somalia in solving the crisis. Arteh left Kenya the following day.
Our study indicates that the food crisis facing internally displaced persons (IDPs) in #Somalia is critical, with conditions worsened by violence and natural disasters, leading to widespread hunger. Approximately 3.9 million IDPs, nearly 19% of the population, live in overcrowded settlements facing eviction threats, which severely limits their ability to secure stable livelihoods.
Our findings highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions, such as education and skills training, to help IDPs integrate into the labor market and find sustainable solutions to their displacement, emphasizing the necessity for comprehensive strategies to improve IDP livelihoods in #Puntland. #WorldFoodDay

The study explores the challenges faced by IDPs in Garowe, particularly unemployment and lack of skills. It highlights the importance of technical skills training, education, and clear policies to help IDPs integrate into the local economy and improve their livelihoods.
A throwback to 1977 as our National Armed Forces stand ready to protect and defend our country's sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.
