Democracy is not just about the ballot box; it is about freedom of competition and political equality.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

When political pressure rises, sudden government decisions may appear as public relief, but the opposition often sees them as a strategy to calm public anger and weaken protest momentum.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

From Turkey’s support during the 2011 famine to today’s oil exploration, our cooperation with Turkey 🇹🇷 has grown into real progress.

Somalia is rising and turning challenges into opportunity together. Thanks to President @HassanSMohamud who made this dream possible @aBayraktar1

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

Çağrı Bey has officially arrived in Mogadishu to kick off Somalia’s oil drilling project later this month. Hoping this marks the start of real prosperity, peace, and progress for the country.

@OmarSharmarke Your excellency @OmarSharmarke, we misunderstood federalism, what we see now is fragmentation, not cooperation. States acting like independent countries risks our unity. Time to rethink and move toward a stronger, coordinated central government.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

@4rukun Lafta Gareen himself was part of this system before, he supported it when it suited him. What’s happening now isn’t about personal rule, it’s the result of choosing the wrong path and turning against agreed processes. Wrong actions always have consequences.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

@senator_farah The FGS has made real progress in liberating territories from Al-Shabaab, improving security, securing debt relief, lifting the arms embargo, joining the EAC, and earning seats at the UN Security Council and AU Peace & Security. That’s not failure, that’s forward movement.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

@NuradinDirie Wrong choices have consequences. President Lafta-Gareen agreed to 1P1V with the Federal Government of Somalia 🇸🇴 but chose a different path, what’s happening now is accountability, not a hostage situation.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

@FaqiAlis Talking about ‘responsible leadership’ doesn’t make sense when KFG leaders rushed a sham election in under 24 hours,no transparency, no fairness, no real public choice. It goes against the agreed 1person, 1vote plan. You can’t deny people’s voice and claim to protect stability.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

@MAWareSO @M_Farmaajo @PresidentMadobe @HESaidADeni Credit where it’s due for easing tensions, but staying in power for over 14 years without credible elections, jailing opponents, and changing the constitution to extend the rule raises real concerns about commitment to democracy and accountability.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

@4rukun Why single out Puntland? Constitutional issues are national matters, they belong in federal institutions, not parallel regional processes. Concerns should be debated within Somalia’s constitutional framework, not through further political fragmentation.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

@DemirciEbuzer Teşekkür ederim Türkiye, bu hayali gerçeğe dönüştürdüğün için.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

@tuncdemirtas Teşekkürler Türkiye

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

@DemirciEbuzer Turkey’s role in Somalia has never been accidental; it has been rooted in shared history, solidarity, and a deep respect for 🇸🇴’s sovereignty. From past struggles to present rebuilding, 🇹🇷 has consistently stood with the Somali people when it mattered most.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

@DemirciEbuzer This was not just a decision, it was a turning point for the FGS. The results will unfold soon.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

At the national security level, 🇸🇴 must reassess foreign military presence that undermines its sovereignty. 🇦🇪 forces should be removed from 🇸🇴, and the FGS should withdraw from any defense agreements with UAE that conflict with Somalia’s national interests and unity.

[Umut Çağrı Sarı @umutcagrisariii]

NEW: There are reports that Kenyan President Ruto is traveling to the UAE to seek a billion-dollar deal connected to recognizing Somaliland. At the same time, Ethiopia is expected to announce recognition tomorrow.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

A new day, a new dawn in Somalia, as Mogadishu residents cast their votes today for the first time in 56 years. I am standing in a long queue to exercise my civic duty.

Guul iyo Gobanimo.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

Free and fair election would have sent a strong message to President @HassanSMohamud, who has contested open elections three times losing once and winning twice.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

The ongoing conference in Kismayo would have been meaningful if Ahmed Madobe had allowed genuine competition for the Jubbaland presidency, instead of occupying the seat alone for 13 years.

[Abdulkadir A. Adow @adow4489]

@XuseenMacallin These narratives ignore the reality on the ground, AS is on the defensive, not on the verge of any takeover in any part of Somalia.
