For far too long, Eritrea was hunted, crippled & sanctioned by Evil Entities, yet the people & the leadership persisted to fight, resist & stayed united. They said, “NO” to foreign aid, tampering & influence. As a result, Eritrea becomes exemplary to the region & the world.

Protests are erupting in Afmadow, Jubaland and this is exactly what everyone warned Türkiye 🇹🇷 about. Do not interfere in Somalia’s internal politics and turn the public against you. The UAE camp has now seized the opportunity, and Türkiye is being publicly condemned. The lesson is simple if you genuinely support Somalia, remain a partner not a political player. Work with all Somali sides fairly instead of backing one politician or faction. If you cannot help bring the leaders together, stay out of their disputes.

The people of Mogadishu have endured different waves of displacement

The Ethiopian invasion displacement (2006–2008)

The terrorist displacement (2009–2011),

Now the Hassan Sheikh displacement (2024–2026).

Another dark chapter in Somalia’s history.

Harar is not just a city, it's a chapter of Somali history.

For centuries, Harar was shaped by Somali rulers, warriors, and culture. Among it's most notable rulers was Amir ibn Mujahid, remembered as the last Somali ruler of Harar.

Harar,s mosque, scholars, traditions, and legacy made it a spiritual heart of the Somali world, a legacy that still echoes across Greater Somali today.

History can be debated but Heritage cannot be erased.

The use of force against citizens been illegally evicted in the Waaberi district of Mogadishu by the former government is unacceptable. Forced evictions and secretive and illegal land grabs must cease. I urge our security forces to protect our people. This is their first duty.

HSM needs to be put under the international spotlight.The work should start now. One thing is clear he hates international scrutiny,so his government’s corruption record should be pushed into major newspapers and media outlets worldwide.

There is zero accountability in Somalia, yet Western countries continue pouring in billions without seriously tracking where the money goes. Now, another whistleblower has come forward against Somalia’s Finance Minister over corruption and misuse of public funds.

Chicken from Brazil, bananas from Kenya, and milk from Turkey and Saudi Arabia despite Somalia being able to produce them all. Welcome to brainless Somalia a thug-run state that exists only by name, while the reality is chaos and anarchy.

I guess you know that Somaliland is internally divided. The government in Hargeysa controls only some 65-70 per cent of the land. In the far west, people belonging to the Gadabursi and Ise clans have their doubts about Somaliland. Occasionally, there is unrest and people hoist the Somali flag there (e.g. in Boroma). In the east, which covers roughly 30 per cent of the state territory (see map below), members of the Dhulbahante and Warsangeli clans openly resist the government of Somaliland. In 2023, the Somaliland army, deployed to subjugate the locals, was defeated there by local clan militias. People in the east see themselves as part of Somalia. Recognition of Somaliland - which effectively is supported mainly by the members of one clan family called Isaaq - will likely produce conflict, possibly even civil war, between Isaaq and non-Isaaq in northern Somalia. These details should be known in the USA...

Prof. James Ker-Lindsay, a Senior Research Fellow at Kingston University London, explains the clan wars taking place in northern #Somalia and the complex clan dynamics behind them an issue that’s not easy to grasp and requires deep, nuanced understanding.

[Mohamed Farmaajo @M_Farmaajo]

International law requires Israel to comply and respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Somalia. Recognizing a part of Somalia is a complete breach of this. Somaliland is an integral part of Somalia. Our people are firmly united in the defence of their sovereignty.

[Suleiman Hashi @SuleimanHashi]

If Somalia's unity collapses under Hassan Sheikh’s lack of national grace and cohesion, it will be remembered as a dark chapter in its history. You can't run a fragile country with tribal loyalties, division fueled by selfish interests, and politics centered on just one city.

He must step down and investigate whether his government has received any compromises or financial deals to allow the country to divide.

Israel recognized the Republic of Somaliland. This comes at a time when internally, Somaliland is at a historic low. Somaliland had been internally contested from the very beginning (1991-). Over the past 15 years it developed into a one-clan polity, controlled by the demographic majority: Isaaq. It is striving mostly in the Isaaq-inhabited territories between Hargeysa, Berbera and Bur’o.
In 2023 the Somaliland army attacked Lasanod, a town in the contested east of Somaliland where the members of the locally dominant Dhulbahante clan always felt they were part of Somalia (and thus had been opposing the unilateral secession of Somaliland from Somalia over decades). Not only did the Somaliland army kill a lot of civilians in Lasanod between February and August 2023; it also lost the war over Lasanod (and with it, many Somaliland soldiers and equipment). In the wake of Somaliland's defeat, a new administration was established in the east called, first, SSC-Khaatumo and, since mid-2025, North-East State. It covers the lands inhabited by Dhulbahante and is part of Somalia. The map below depicts the Isaaq heartland (including the "Berbera corridor" and the entities in the east that separated themselves from Hargeysa's control over the past years.
On 1 January 2024, then President Muse Bihi of Somaliland entered into a MoU with Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia about an Ethiopian naval base west of Berbera (Somaliland) in exchange for shares in Ethiopian Airlines and some “looking into the question of recognition”. This stirred the outrage of the Somali government and across the Somali communities and briefly led to the formation of anti-Ethiopian alliances between the leaders in Mogadishu, Asmara and Cairo. The geopolitical tensions were calmed with the help of the Turkish government end of 2024 and Ethiopia henceforth remained silent about the MoU. Muse Bihi lost the presidential elections and in Nov. 2024. The candidate of the opposition, Abdirahman Irro, took over.
Over the past 12 months, however, Irro’s domestic course had been unclear. He did not manage to advance Somaliland’s interest in the east, which effectively remains part of Somalia (with Dhulbahante having their own administration and Warsangeli partly siding with North-East State, partly with Puntland) - see map below. Recently, a conflict between Ise and Gadabursi, two other non-Isaaq clans, erupted in the far west of Somaliland. The conflict was completely mismanaged by the government in Hargeysa and this caused considerable opposition which led to a heavy-handed reaction by the Somaliland army killing some 19 people and injuring many more in Boroma in early December 2025. The conflict between the two opposed clans is smouldering ever since.
The government of Somaliland is dominated by one clan-family: Isaaq. It effectively controls only parts of the territory claimed as “state territory” (it controls roughly 65-70 per cent). Somaliland’s leaders have become massively corrupt and, what is more worrisome, prone to use violence against opponents. A considerable part of the population of the region opposes Somaliland’s independence from Somalia. The opponents, particularly in the east, are heavily armed.
The fact that Israel now recognized this weak and internally contested entity as “state” can, in my view, mean only one thing: more conflict and violence in the Horn of Africa. Netanyahu has already the blood of many Palestinian civilians on his hands. Now he reaches out to create more havoc among Somalis. @POTUS @TiborPNagyJr @DrJPPham @SecRubio @GermanyinSOM @SpotonSomalia @HassanSMohamud @EU_Commission @FranceinSomalia @FCDOGovUK @SheiknorQassim @ZakiaHussen

#ALERT: Somali President to Respond to Opposition Ultimatum After Benadir District Elections on December 25, and Is Expected to Declare the Benadir Elections a Success and Claim Political Victory, Sources Say

According to reliable sources within the Somali government cited by Baidoa Online, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is expected to respond to a communiqué issued by opposition groups that set a deadline of January 20, 2026 for resolving the country’s prolonged electoral impasse.

The opposition has warned that failure to reach a political settlement by the deadline could lead to the formation of a parallel government, citing continued deadlock over the electoral process.

Sources indicate that the president plans to address the opposition’s demands after the completion of the so-called district elections in Benadir, scheduled for December 25. On that occasion, President Mohamud is expected to declare the elections a success and claim political victory. He is also reportedly prepared to convene talks with opposition leaders, though the proposed dialogue would be limited to a narrowly defined agenda.

international partners backing the Somali government have begun increasing pressure on the president to engage in negotiations sooner rather than later. Diplomats and international stakeholders are said to be concerned that continued delays could escalate tensions and risk the emergence of competing administrations, a scenario that could further destabilize the country.

Observers warn that unless meaningful dialogue begins promptly, Somalia could face a deepening political crisis with serious implications for governance, security, and international support.
