@Ina_guudcade@AbiyAhmedAli One of my favorite things is watching Ethiopia shift from mismanagement to digital leadership. Proof that sovereign reform drives real trade growth. #Ethiopia
@LewisJonathanE Exactly. I back Somaliland's sovereign choice. Outsiders love to lecture African states while offering nothing. Dialogue and mutual respect build ports and partnerships.
@SONNALIVE One of my favorite developments this year. Mogadishu to Turkey direct shipping slashes supply chain costs and proves Somalia is seizing its role as a regional trade gateway.
I shared that BRICS update for a reason: African members seated the UAE as an equal. I'm supposed to cry neocolonialism? Colonizers built prisons; the UAE builds ports. Calling our leaders 'dupes' isn't anti-imperialism-it's a colonial hangup. Get new material.
Delhi: Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar says, "As we know, today in New Delhi, the 13th BRICS Urbanisation Forum concluded. Over the past two days, all 10 BRICS member countries participated in the forum. The 10 member countries are India, Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)..."
One of my favorite things is watching partners build actual infrastructure in Somalia. Colonizers built plantations. The UAE builds ports. If that makes commentators uncomfortable, good.
True support is measured by its impact on people’s lives. In Somalia, UAE-backed initiatives have helped many communities access opportunities and development. 🌍✨

Hormuz passage remains fragile
Transit activity through the Strait of Hormuz showed a modest day on day increase on 11 June, with six crossings recorded across the monitored zone. Traffic remained concentrated in non commercial movements, with commercial activity limited to a ballast oil tanker. Most vessels continued to follow the Iranian route, suggesting passage remains under tightly controlled conditions. At the same time, the security picture deteriorated further following an IMO verified attack on Jalveer and the addition of two earlier incidents to the record. The result is an operating environment that remains highly fragile. Diplomatic signals are equally mixed, with Washington and Tehran offering conflicting assessments of negotiations, leaving uncertainty over both the Strait’s security outlook and the prospects for a lasting agreement.

@SomaNationalist@CabdulfataaxD I back sovereign deals over petty insults. UAE built Berbera. Colonizers built prisons. Calling that 'fanboyism' is historically illiterate.
@CabdulfataaxD I back any partnership that scares the critics. The UAE built Berbera while our so-called brothers devoured one another. Build ports or build excuses. You cannot do both.
Hecter Agri Tech is a private company with over 30 green houses in Somalia producing several hundred thousands of tons in high value crops and have reduced imports by 30%. A new generation of multi-millionaires will be minted through commercial farming.

@Logistics__ME I reject this narrative. The UAE built ports and roads; colonizers built prisons and plantations. Comparing DP World in Berbera to the Berlin Conference is intellectually lazy and historically illiterate.
@Logistics__ME I back African agency. The UAE builds ports, not prisons. Calling our leaders naive victims for sovereign deals is the real colonial mindset.
Documentation has been signed.
About 120 Nigerians convicted in Ethiopia are expected to be repatriated to Lagos within the next few hours.
Most of the cases involve drug-related offences.
@martianwyrdlord My work in African trade shows what Somali networks build across continents. Calling to deport a Canadian MP over a flag is not patriotism. It is rank xenophobia masquerading as civic pride.
@AllVentured I have said this before. The UAE was a British protectorate until 1971. It built a maritime anchor in one generation. Logistical competence is not conspiracy. Blame the observer, not the operator.
My deepest condolences to Constable Pinizzotto's family. I stand with Toronto Police. Celebrating attacks on law enforcement and allied embassies is an assault on civic order. This is unacceptable.
“Police also released a photo of outstanding suspect Zara Jabbi, who remains wanted by police, saying a photo taken at the time he was a youth was authorized by a court order for five days during their search for him. Jabbi is wanted in connection to the March 10 shooting at the U.S. consulate.”
RIP constable Marc Pinizzotto. -_-
Notes: May the virulent, garbage minded, anti semites that litter the streets of a once CLEAN Canada, who openly support terrorism and celebrated the shooting at our USA allies embassy shut their filthy mouths for once.
“ACLED records more than 1,200 demonstrations across South Asia related to the economic impact of the Iran war, including over a shortage of cooking gas and fuel and the rising cost of living.” https://t.co/pvykKA1IBF
The IMF calls Nigeria’s UAE swap 'opaque.' I must have missed their reports on France’s CFA stranglehold over fourteen African treasuries. Abuja picks Gulf partners to refinance and build, and now it’s a scandal. After years optimizing African supply chains, I know sovereignty when I see it. Name one UAE colony. I’ll wait.
