Wasiir Abdulkadir Mohamed Nor "Waajibka kowaad ee maanta iyo goor walba oo la joogo naga saaran jiilasha naga dambeeya waa in aan ku sinno Soomaaliya oo mid ah, xor ah, kheyraadkeeduna bad qabo".
In a continent where wholesale corruption has characterized nearly every nation since attaining self-rule, this very moral woman, Dr Anne Wagner-Mitchell, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany based in Zambia shows the way to resist succumbing to the incubus of corruption to protect the sanctity of the public interest of her country as opposed to favoring personal interest and condoning the abuse of public office for personal gain. Africa will never become a modernization success story as long as our political leaders pursue power through corruption and clientelism and ordinary people do not frown on their corrupt practices.
I have tried to translate Dr. Rafaat Alareer's poem, “If I must die,” into Somali. This is an open form translation.
“Haddii aan ifka dhaafo
Geeridaydu adduunka
Yididdiilo ha siiso,
Qiso aan abid guurin
Maqnaantaydu ha reebto!”
This tweet is simply a direct reflection of all that's brooding in Garoowe (Puntland) today. Somali leaders and their supporters must accept - and I know it's a cliché - the fact that no regional government (however legitimate or historic it might claim to be) can singlehandedly overcome conflict and secure peace and development for its people. No region has broad enough tax base to draw a sufficient budget for government spending. No region can singlehandedly attend to the serious climate and environmental issues affecting its people as well as to the increasingly regional (and global) energy politics. No region can singlehandedly address security (including cybersecurity), defense, immigration, crime and justice, education, healthcare, social welfare, technology, and the urgent need to create jobs and livelihoods for millions of young people, their families and communities. No region can singlehandedly secure the equality and freedoms the Somali people demand and deserve. Therefore, regardless of clan or regional background, let's all come together and not only come together but bring together the structures, processes and skills necessary to build the institutional framework needed (through the FGS) for effective and inclusive government that can establish security, reduce conflict and promote socioeconomic development across the country.

If you want CBB to stop their daily tantrum you must make a picture of Farmaajo holding the new ID card just like our President and PM. Or you don't because WDC 😊
🔥 A devastating fire erupted last night at the Wajale market, situated on the #Ethiopia-#Somalia border, destroying 200 shops. This pivotal market serves as the primary exchange point for goods from Somaliland's Berbera port and those from Ethiopia. 🇪🇹🇸🇴

I am proud to receive my national ID card today under the historic #Somalia ID Card roll out. This is a key milestone in our state-building process as this crucial document shall enhance security, public sevice provision & provide our citizens a means to establish their identity.
Morning operation update: Our National Army, alongside Galmudug dervishes and local forces, have successfully reclaimed Bacaadweyn village, Mudug region, the last Khawarij stronghold in Mudug. The enemy has fled, and security operations are ongoing. #MudugSecured#JabkaKhawarijt
@MoDSomaliya Thanks to the MoD's comms team for promptly addressing the security lapse earlier today. Their quick action and transparency in issuing an apology restores public confidence. A lesson in crisis communication done right. I wish other departments emulate such best practices.

Journalists Mohamed Dulmidid and Zakariye Mohamed Salad from Five Somali TV arrested in #Kaxda District. The duo had covered last night's #AlShabaab attack. Reports suggest their arrest may be linked to the district commissioner's dissatisfaction with media exposing negligence.
