TO ALL INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES, NGOS, AND HUMANITARIAN PARTNERS OPERATING IN SOMALIA
I issue this statement with anger, grief, and absolute urgency as the elected Member of Parliament representing the Awdal communities. What is unfolding in Borama and across Awdal Region is not a “security incident” or a “local disturbance” - it is a full-scale atrocity being committed by armed SNM militia forces against innocent civilians.
Over the last hours, these militia forces have stormed Borama city and surrounding towns in Awdal, firing live rounds into crowds of peaceful demonstrators. Civilians - including women, children, and the elderly - have been killed and wounded. Hospitals in Borama are now overwhelmed, having completely run out of medical supplies, surgical equipment, and essential medicines. Doctors are unable to operate on the wounded. Some victims are facing death simply because they cannot receive the emergency care they desperately need.
I appeal to all international agencies and NGOs operating in Somalia - UN agencies, ICRC, MSF, WHO, IOM, OCHA, Save the Children, and every humanitarian actor: come to Awdal NOW. Do not wait for “clearance” from anyone. Do not hide behind bureaucracy while civilians bleed to death.
Your presence is urgently required to verify, document, and respond to these atrocities. The situation has escalated to an unconscionable level - SNM militia members have entered hospitals in Borama, shooting at parents, relatives, and even patients inside medical wards. This is a blatant war crime - an intentional attack on protected persons and protected medical facilities. Under international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions and customary international law, attacks on hospitals constitute grave breach and a prosecutable offense before international courts.
Let me state this clearly for the record - These atrocities will be fully documented, preserved, and submitted to the United Nations Human Rights mechanisms and the International Criminal Court (ICC). Those who gave the orders, those who pulled the triggers, and those who attempted to hide the crimes will be held individually criminally responsible. There will be no amnesty and no political cover.
I urge humanitarian agencies to immediately:
o Deploy emergency medical teams to Awdal Region.
o Deliver urgent medical supplies to Borama hospitals without delay.
o Evacuate severely wounded civilians who cannot be treated locally.
o Conduct independent assessments and documentation of the atrocities.
o Ensure protection monitoring in Zeila, Lughaya, Borama, Garbadadar, Boon, and Hariirad.
o Awdal is under attack. Innocent civilians are being targeted. Hospitals are being violated. And the world must not stand by silently.
o I am placing the international community on formal notice: Failure to intervene, failure to document, and failure to protect will make you complicit in the silence that enables these crimes.
May Allah protect our innocent people. Justice will come, and every individual responsible will answer before international law.
Respectfully,

They’ve killed 10 people in Borama last night and this morning. The Somaliland forces are attacking the main hospital in Borama where the injured are being treated! This is Somaliland’s true face!
Congratulations to the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Somaliland.
Wishing you great success as you lead the way in strengthening global relationships, creating opportunities, and showcasing Somaliland’s beauty to the world.

Being a woman is a journey of self-discovery and learning to love yourself for who you are.
When it comes to choosing a career or doing a job in a world that often considers a woman’s place as being in the home and not on the stage & more over, being a somali female is a tought!

Alhamdullilah
I feel so honored and blessed to have you in my life.
Being your daughter is a blessing indeed.
I feel the proudest when someone says that I’ve inherited your kindness & hardwork
As your daughter, I couldn’t ask for any better.Your sacrifices towards me don’t go unnoticed Mom🤍
Be thankful that you’re not where you used to be. You’ve outgrown so much and you’re still learning. You’ve survived so much which made you stronger and more aware. Give yourself credit for making it this far. The best is yet to come for you.
You may be the only person left who believes in you, but it's enough. It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness. Never give up.

If you ever wanted people to treat you right and with respect, you have to value yourself. It starts with you. When you feel like you haven’t got anything to offer or you are not worth, then like-wise people will treat you like that. It is that simple.
As much as you can, keep dunya in your hand-not in your heart. That means when someone disrespects you, keep it out of your heart so it doesn't make you bitter or defensive. When someone praises you, also keep it out of your heart, so it doesn't make you arrogant and self-deluded
