@OCHASom@GConway_UN@UNinSomalia Laas Caanood is the capital of North Eastern Somalia. OCHA must respect the reality on the ground and stop using outdated narratives. Humanitarian work requires neutrality and respect for local authorities and the community!
I, President of Southwest State H.E. Abdiaziz Laftagareen, resign as Deputy Chairman of the JSP effective today, March 18, 2026. I cannot support unconstitutional actions that weaken our unity. My commitment remains to Somalia’s unity, democracy, and the rule of law.
@khadarlooge Therefore, no dialogue can take place while it continues to aid such groups. Talks will only begin once the country is cleared of terrorism. For now, national operations are underway. 1/2.
@khadarlooge Somaliland is a region within the Federal Republic of Somalia. What sets it apart from other regions is its open support for extremist groups; fighters trained in Hargeisa are deployed to wage war in the southern parts of the country. 1/1.
A historic day in #Las’anod, capital of the North-East State. Patriotism & civility on full display. Somalia is, was & will remain one. The North-East people are the true guardians of the northern regions.🇸🇴

Dhibaatada ka dhalatay cadaalad darrada iyo ku takri-falka awooda dowladda ee maamulka iyo maareynta khayraadka bulshada gaar ahaan dhulka danta-guud, kaliya ma uusan saameyn hab-nololeedka qoysaska danyarta ah ee Magaaladda Muqdisho, ee waxaa uu sidoo kale dhaawac wayn u gaystay kalsoonida dhalinyarada Soomaaliyeed ay ku qabaan dalkooda.
Waxaa nasiib darro ah in dowladu ay dayacday waajibaadkii loo igmaday oo ay mid tahay yarenta shaqo la'aanta iyo abuurista fursadaha, iyadoo taa bedelkeeda la burburiyay goobo ganacsi oo ay shaqaale ka ahaayeen dhalinyaro Soomaaliyeed, iyaguna ay maalgashadeen.
Waxaan maalin walba daawanaa dhalinyaro Soomaaliyeed oo ka tahriibaya dalkooda iyagoo sheegaya inay raadinayaan fursado iyo rejo. Waxay taasi meel ka dhac ku tahay qof walba oo masuul ah iyo nidaamka dowladnimadda oo ku dhisan adeeg iyo daryeel bulsho.
Waxaan u soo jeedinayaa madaxda maanta talada haysa in dhalinyarada Soomaaliyeed il gaar ah lagu fiiriyo, la siiyo kalsooni ay dalkooda ku maalgashan karaan, isla markaana lagu dhiirragaliyo abuurista shaqooyinka iyadoo loo fududeynayo hab-raacyada dowladeed ee lagama maarmaanka ah.
SOMALILAND’S LOBBY NETWORK
Somaliland conducts all its lobbying activities in the US and Europe through a lobbying firm called FGS Global.
This company’s largest client is the UAE government, which pays FGS approximately $5 million per year to leverage its network of connections for negative press coverage.
FGS Global has made extensive efforts to create a positive narrative about Somaliland in the US media.
According to FARA filings, FGS Global has recently held meetings on Somaliland’s behalf with representatives from leading outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Bloomberg, NBC, NPR, and Axios. The entire reason for the glowing coverage of Somaliland in the international press is, quite simply, suitcases full of US dollars.
In addition, donations have been made to the Hudson Institute and Atlantic Council on behalf of Somaliland, ensuring that these two think tanks engage in PR work for Somaliland.
Somaliland makes over $1.5 million in unreported annual payments to the FGS Global lobbying firm.
All lobbying activities on behalf of Somaliland are organized by the Israeli-American Jewish wife of Somaliland’s Washington representative, Bashir Goth.
Dear @SenTedCruz , I am sure you are aware of the reconstruction efforts going on in Somalia, which include considerable US counter terrorism engagement in south and north Somalia (including Puntland in the northeast, where many IS fighters have been killed in the past months). I guess you know that Mogadishu and several other cities of Somalia are experiencing a stable economic boom since years, manifesting itself in massive construction and new businesses opening. Certainly, you are also aware of the ongoing formation of the new federal member state (supported by the government in Mogadishu) called North-East-State in the central north of Somalia, which is a territory claimed (but not controlled) by the government of the self-declared Republic of Somaliland. Indeed, the government in Hargeysa lost control over parts of this area in a bloody war in the first half of 2023 in which the Somaliland army relentlessly attacked civilians in a strategically important town called Lasanod, which is today the center of the new emerging federal member state just mentioned. Recognizing Somaliland today would not only disturb the political reconstruction ongoing in Somalia as a whole (including US-supported counter-terrorism) but also, most likely, lead to new civil war in the north. Somaliland is much less popular among Somalis (even in the north) than you might think. In essence, it is strongly backed only by members of ONE clan called Isaaq. Yet, members of several other clans in the region (including Dhulbahante, Warsangeli and Fiqishini in North-East-State, Majeerteen, Deshishe and others in Puntland, Gadabursi in Awdal region near Djibouti and members of various minority groups including Gabooye across the north), as a rule, reject Somaliland's secession and do, in their territories, adhere to Somali unity. External recognition is, at this moment, highly irresponsible. Let Somalis sort out their issues first. They are on a better way today than they have been over the past thirty years. What interests does the USA have in Somaliland (aka Isaaq-land) that it cannot pursue with the help of administrations in Djibouti, Puntland or Somalia that are all pro-Somali unity?
The 26th Division of the Somali National Army (Qaybta Juun 26), the biggest of its era, makes a comeback, headquartered at Samakaab, NorthEast State.

Cusbitalkii Hargeysa dagaalkii saaka ayaa weli ka socda. Bukaanno badan ayaa la arkay in ay wax ku noqdeen israsaasaynta labada jabhadood ee Cusbitalka ku dhex diriraya. Waxa kale oo la arkay in hooyoo xalay ku ummushay Cusbitalka ay iyada iyo ilmaheedii ba ay dhinten.
