🚨 BREAKING: Landmark Somaliland Bill Introduced in U.S. Congress 🇺🇸

@RepJohnRose, @PatHarriganNC, and @AndyOgles have introduced the Somaliland Economic Access and Opportunity Act to end Somaliland’s financial isolation.

Key Impacts:
🔹 Banking Access: Targets barriers to the SWIFT system for 6.2M citizens.
🔹 Security: Bolsters international anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism efforts.
🔹 Strategy: Mandates a 180-day Treasury report to Congress on facilitating responsible U.S. investment.

This legislation recognizes Somaliland as a vital strategic partner, proving that regional security is built through economic transparency and mutual interest.

Will the new Hargeisa terminal building have a design like this? A modern, spacious terminal would be a huge step forward creating room for more shops, better passenger experience, and the capacity to attract more airlines and travelers to Hargeisa. #Somaliland #HornOfAfrica

Gregory Bovino is expected to leave Minneapolis tomorrow, per @priscialva, @KristenhCNN and me. His public appearances did not go over well internally this weekend, including when he claimed Pretti intended to “massacre” law enforcement.

The drive to clarify the status of Somaliland continues this week. I have submitted questions via the Parliamentary APPG that I hope to ask officials inside @FCDOGovUK shortly.
The 2 key issues are these:
1. In September 1960, the then FCO altered the treaty documents signed- 1/8

🇺🇸 AERIAL FOOTAGE SHOWS THOUSANDS IN MINNEAPOLIS - THIS ISN'T GOING AWAY

New aerial shows the scale: thousands filling multiple city blocks in Minneapolis over Renee Good's killing.

Thousands packing residential streets in the snow. One mile from where George Floyd died in 2020.

Trump sent 2,000 federal agents - the largest DHS deployment ever. 3 shots in 698 milliseconds.

Mayor told ICE to "get the fuck out." Governor declared "Renee Good Day." GOP calls them enablers.

This is what happens when federal force meets local resistance with a dead mother of 3 in between. No off-ramp visible. Both sides escalating.

Mayor Frey begged protesters "don't take Trump's bait." The crowd's answer is in the footage.

🚨🚨 breaking news: E-visa system hacked.
It should have never been implemented in the first place.

[Inside Africa @afric_insde]

#BREAKING: Somalian E-Visa System Has been Hacked and Sensitive Personal Data Dumped into the Dark Web.

The Mogadishu regime began collecting sensitive data from international travellers on September 1, 2025. The information they harvested—including British, U.S. and EU passports, issuing authorities, dates and places of birth, eye colours, height measurements, and other biometric identifiers—has now been breached.

Instead of securing this data within a protected state system, the regime irresponsibly stored it on personal laptops owned by the president’s own family. This same family controls Empire Consultancy, the private company covertly running the entire visa application process, leaving millions of documents exposed and vulnerable to hacking—exactly as has now happened.

This negligence created a digital time-bomb. Eventually, the entire database—containing millions of passengers’ documents—was hacked.

Now all of it is publicly accessible; every passport number, every biometric record, every personal identifier, available to anyone with an internet connection.

What began as an electronic extortion scheme run by a corrupt figurehead has exploded into what is arguably the largest data breach ever witnessed.

Urgent Measures to Counter the Airspace & Travel War on Somaliland

Mogadishu is weaponizing airspace control & fake “e-visa” to attack Somaliland. This open letter calls for action:

1️⃣ End Somaliland banks’ role in Somalia’s e-visa system.

2️⃣ Demand airlines list Hargeisa as a separate destination.

3️⃣ Ban dollar shipments south to Mogadishu.

4️⃣ Suspend “domestic” Hargeisa–Mogadishu flights.

Read the full letter: attached

Thank you @IsmailiAhmedR for shedding light on the current scam. @Visa @Mastercard

[Ismail Ahmed @IsmailiAhmedR]

Mastercard and Visa should suspend acquiring for Merchant ETS MOGADISHU SO (PBS0008)
The so-called “e-visa” operation bears the classic hallmarks of a fraudulent scheme. It misrepresents the nature of transactions, routes funds through private accounts and intimidates cardholders to suppress chargebacks. This risk pattern closely resembles Somalia’s 2013–2014 asset-recovery drive characterized by opaque contracting, politically connected intermediaries and offshore cash flows which ended in two central bank resignations and high-profile US litigation. Card networks and acquiring banks should act now to avoid a repeat.
Why Visa and Mastercard should suspend
1. Material misrepresentation. Government visa or tax payments are being disguised and processed under the generic retail MCC 5399 (“general merchandise”), deceiving the networks and evading AML/CFT controls that apply to high-risk “government” fees.
2. Suspicious routing and beneficiaries. Proceeds are directed to entities and private accounts linked to politically exposed persons, presenting clear red flags under AML regulations and network standards.
3. Chargeback suppression through intimidation. Cardholders are threatened with “criminal complaints” if they dispute charges, an obvious breach of card-scheme rules protecting fair dispute rights and transparent merchant descriptors. See T&C https://t.co/m5zKHhjLvX
A familiar pattern
2013–2014 asset-recovery program: Somalia hired US law firm Shulman Rogers to reclaim pre-1991 state assets. Newly appointed Central Bank Governor Yussur Abrar resigned after just seven weeks, warning she was pressured to approve corrupt deals.
UN Monitoring Group findings: The UN reported a scheme to divert a share of recovered funds, implicating senior officials and intermediaries. https://t.co/EQIY9Xpkmz
US litigation: A Shulman Rogers partner was indicted in 2020 over an alleged plan to seize control of Somali assets. https://t.co/5MkpfcD22A?
The “e-visa” scheme mirrors that fiasco’s risk profile. Continuing to acquire these transactions exposes networks and banks to fraud losses, AML/CFT failures, reputational damage, and potential regulatory action.

🚨🚨🚨 This is the beginning and Somaliland citizens can not accept this whatsoever. Next, they will deny citizens because they feel like or know that person is outspoken for Somaliland cause. They want complete control!! Wake up people.

[Fahima A Ali — SOMALILAND RE-RECOGNITION MOVEMENT @FahimaAli49]

Dear @Tracking_Power,

The idea that Somaliland was “invented by the Zionist movement” is completely unfounded and historically inaccurate. Somaliland was a British Protectorate long before the establishment of the State of Israel.

Somaliland has operated as Independent country since 1991 without any Israel support or connection.
