UNASOMALIA in partnership with @RussetAcademy has successfully concluded a Model United Nations (MUN) simulation program tailored for the institution's young learners.
The initiative introduced students to foundational concepts of diplomacy and international relations through experiential learning. Participants represented various countries and organizations, delivering speeches and engaging in structured dialogue to develop skills in public speaking, negotiation, and critical thinking—competencies introduced at a developmentally optimal stage.
The program marked Russet Academy's first MUN experience for this age group. It culminated in a certificate ceremony, where students received official recognition from Russet Academy and UNASOMALIA for their participation.
As the holy month begins, we pray it brings you abundant peace, deeper solidarity, spiritual renewal, and moments of pure joy. Let's come together in fasting, prayer, compassion, and acts of service—building a brighter future hand in hand!
Wishing you mercy, forgiveness, and endless blessings this Ramadan.

@UNASOMALIA is proud to present the Humanitarian Award to Col. Ahmed Mohamed Hassan (Ahmed Dheere), a distinguished former senior pilot of the Somali Air Force, in recognition of his extraordinary moral courage and unwavering commitment to humanity.
During a time of great turmoil, Col. Ahmed Dheere demonstrated exceptional bravery and integrity. As a senior pilot, he made the courageous decision to prioritize the protection of innocent lives over following orders, choosing to land his fully armed aircraft in a neighboring country rather than carry out a mission that would have caused harm.
His selfless actions stand as a powerful testament to the importance of compassion, conscience, and moral responsibility. Col. Ahmed Dheere’s legacy continues to inspire hope, resilience, and the enduring belief in doing what is right, even in the face of immense challenges.
Join us in celebrating this remarkable hero and honoring his profound contributions to peace and humanity.

Today, on International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we gathered to address the urgent issue of violence against women. The theme, "Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed, #NOEXCUSE," highlights the widespread and serious nature of this problem.
A diverse group of participants, including women's rights activists, youth advocates, and academics, joined together to send a powerful message: there is no justification for violence against women.
We call upon the public and authorities to unite in preventing violence against women and providing comprehensive support to survivors.
