O Somalis “Perhaps your fathers and forefathers had a strong bond with ALLAH”. There’s always light at the end of the tunnel as long as we attach ourselves with the Book of ALLAH (Quran). May ALLAH make it easy for us all and bless our people & country 🇸🇴🤲🏾.
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

Before that, Duchman played a key role in the opening of the Israeli embassy in the UAE and is pictured here enjoying a private Zoom meeting with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

🚨 Former Somali PM @AliMGedi has spoken in detail about the inhumane conditions and lack of medical care facing abducted civilians from North Eastern Somalia who are languishing in separatist jails.
He rightly noted that NES released over 30 PoWs on humanitarian grounds. Yet, according to @ICRC Somalia, the Hargeisa administration promised to release 5 detained civilians, notified their families—who traveled long distances—only for @Abdirahmanirro to block the release at the last minute.
For the past three years, we have witnessed the UK government, INGOs, and the Somalia Federal Government actively advocating for the release of war criminals held in Las Anod. Meanwhile, there has been complete silence regarding the abducted civilians held in “Somaliland” prisons.
Former PM #Gedi is the first Somali politician to openly expose both the conditions of these detainees and the separatists’ breach of agreements.
I am deeply disappointed that the NES leadership withheld this critical information from the public.

DECLARATION ON THE FORMATION OF THE SOMALI PEOPLE’S ALLIANCE For SELF-DETERMINATION(SPAS)
18 January,2026
The Ogaden National Liberation Front (#ONLF), the Congress for Somali Cause (#CSC), and the Somali Regional Democratic Alliance (#SRDA) hereby announce the formation of the THE SOMALI PEOPLE’S ALLIANCE For SELF-DETERMINATION(SPAS)——a unified political and civic platform to strengthen Somali political agency, defend collective rights, and shape a future grounded in dignity, representation, and self-determination. #SPAS #HornOfAfrica #Kenya #Djibouti #Uganda #Sudan #Eritrea #Rwanda #Somalia #Ethiopia #BBCSomali #Egypt
@Abdirahman_mohd@CaptainSigeesta Your Isaaq cousins from Hargeysa and Burco (mostly Isaaq/Arab and Habar Yonis) really have shaped Al Shabaab as terror force.
The Commander in Chief of the National Armed Forces, President @HassanSMohamud had just landed in #Laascaanood, the capital of #Somalia’s Northeast State and the cornerstone of the country’s unity.
President @HassanSMohamud arrived in Lasanod, capital of the North East State of Somalia.
During his visit, the President will hold consultations with political leaders, civil society representatives, traditional elders, and women’s groups to advance national unity, strengthen social cohesion, and promote democratization.
This is what I've been saying and writing for years. It is time to draw the line. Cease the appeasement of “Somaliland” region, who is led by Zionist Irro and his criminal gangs!
I wrote this tweet two years prior and I am revising it to demonstrate that I have been alerting..
People need to wake up and turn against Hassan Sheikh’s weak leadership. His obsession with empty diplomacy has exposed his inability to lead when decisive action is needed. He lacks strength, direction, and urgency, and the country is paying the price. Somalia doesn’t need speeches and negotiations it needs firm, immediate decisions and a leader willing to act instead of hiding behind diplomacy.
The collapse of leadership in Mogadishu has reached an alarming new low. Israel’s Foreign Minister, Gideon Sa’ar, moves freely while FlyDubai and the UAE shoulder responsibilities that should belong to Somalia itself. Where is Somalia’s Civil Aviation Authority? Where is state sovereignty? A foreign Zionist official is openly entering the country, trampling over national authority, and the government stands idle. For the past three years, HSM has reduced national unity to a marketplace of corruption commercializing the state, hollowing out institutions, and dismantling every meaningful sign of progress this country once had. This is not governance; it is managed decay.
Edna Aden is an activist for women's & children's health on the one hand. BUT she is also a long-standing political activist spreading half-truths and outright lies about Somali history and the situation in Somaliland. Her humanism is selective. See explanations below:
Sheikh Abdullahi Sheikh Ali Jawhar addresses the massacre committed by warlord Bihi & his terrorist faction, the SNM, against his own Isaaq tribesmen in Burco & Berbera.
Furthermore, this same terrorist organization is now attempting to betray the nation by aligning themselves..
