An entire nation state of 6.2 million people #Somaliland has been denied the right to participate in football tournaments by @FIFAcom as a result of Somalia’s claim of sovereignty over Somaliland.
Before you can advocate for this Somalian referee, one must ask for the rights of Somalilanders.
Era of Rebirth is a compelling reflection on transformation, resilience, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. Through its thoughtful insights and inspiring message, the book encourages readers to embrace change. @Hiil_san
فريقٌ استثنائيٌ آخر من أبناء صوماليلاند في الولايات المتحدة وكندا وأوروبا يواصل العمل برؤيةٍ واضحة وعزيمةٍ راسخة للدفاع عن مصالح صوماليلاند وتعزيز مكانتها على الساحة الدولية.
Another exceptional team of Somalilanders across the United States, Canada and Europe, who is working with vision, determination, and professionalism to advance Somaliland’s position on the global stage.
Before you question Trump over one person, ask your own government why it is helping block an entire nation from World Cup.
Six million Somalilanders are locked out of the World Cup system.
No outrage
But one Somalian referee gets blocked and suddenly everyone discovers fairness?
Spare us.
A Somalian diplomatic passport is worthless around the world due to the fact that it’s used to smuggle high paying Somalians to the west

La storia è stata appena scritta nelle sale operatorie del Centro Medico Ichilov di Israele 🇮🇱 e l'intero mondo medico è in stato di puro stupore.
I chirurghi hanno realizzato ciò che una volta sembrava impossibile: rimuovere un tumore cerebrale raro senza aprire la testa.
Attraverso un approccio transorbitale di punta - entrando con precisione
attraverso la gola ocularia utilizzando robot avanzati e endoscopia - loro hanno escisso completamente la crescita.
Nessuna craniotomia.
Nessuna cicatrice massiva.
Solo innovazione pura, maestria e mani stabili.
Ouesto non è solo una vittoria per la scienza; è un testimonianza profonda del rifiuto dell'umanità di accettare i limiti.
Mentre il mondo si concentra sulla divisione, la medicina israeliana ci ricorda cosa può realizzare la chiarezza morale e l'eccellenza scientifica: vite salvate, futuro ripristinato e speranza data ai pazienti di tutto il mondo.
Israele non innova solo sotto pressione - le sue innovazioni sono da sempre disponibili per l'intera umanità.
Orgogliosi oltre le parole.
Am Yisrael Chai.

LAAS GEEL
Laas Geel and the Sacred: The Cow as a Spiritual Mediator in Early Human Belief
The rock art site of Laas Geel, located in present-day Somaliland, is one of the most significant prehistoric cultural sites in Africa. Dating to approximately 3000–2500 BCE, its exceptionally well-preserved cave paintings offer profound insight into the early religious consciousness of pastoral societies. Central to these paintings is the repeated and dominant depiction of the cow, revealing its role not merely as an economic resource, but as a sacred being and a mediator between humans and the divine.
Laas Geel: Beyond Prehistoric Art
The paintings of Laas Geel go far beyond decorative or narrative art. The cattle are often rendered in large scale, carefully stylized, and adorned with elaborate markings. Human figures appear smaller and are frequently positioned in what seem to be ritual or reverential postures. This visual hierarchy strongly suggests that the scenes represent religious rituals, not everyday pastoral activities.
The emphasis on cattle indicates the existence of a coherent belief system in which the cow occupied a central spiritual position.
The Cow as a Bridge to the Sacred
For the pastoral communities of Laas Geel, the sacred was not distant or abstract—it was immanent within nature. The cow, as a source of milk, fertility, and survival, became a natural vessel for sacred power.
Rather than worshipping the animal itself, these communities likely revered the divine force believed to dwell within it. The cow functioned as a mediator between:
the human world of survival and social life, and
the invisible realm of cosmic and spiritual forces governing fertility and order.
Ritual, Art, and Communication with the Divine
The decorative patterns on the cattle in Laas Geel suggest ritual preparation, possibly involving body painting, ceremonial ornamentation, and collective gatherings. Such practices would have served as channels of communication with the sacred, intended to secure blessings, protection, and the continuity of life.
Art itself became a sacred act. Painting the cow on rock surfaces was not simply representation, but participation in the sacred order.
Fertility as a Cosmic Principle
In the belief system reflected at Laas Geel, fertility extended beyond biological reproduction. The well-being of cattle symbolized:
the fertility of the land,
the regularity of rainfall,
human reproduction,
and communal stability.
Thus, the cow embodied the harmony of the cosmos. Maintaining a balanced relationship with this sacred power was essential for collective survival.
The Sacred in Everyday Life
Laas Geel reveals a worldview in which no clear boundary existed between religion and daily life. Herding, milking, caring for cattle, and even their loss were deeply infused with spiritual meaning. The sacred was not confined to temples or priesthoods; it lived alongside the community, embedded in routine existence.
Conclusion
The rock art of Laas Geel demonstrates that early African pastoral societies possessed a sophisticated spiritual worldview. Through the veneration of cattle, they articulated fundamental questions about life, fertility, and humanity’s place in the universe.
Laas Geel stands today not only as an archaeological treasure, but as a powerful testament to the earliest human attempts to connect daily life with the sacred, using the cow as a living bridge between the earthly and the divine.
