Some personal news;
Dear friends,
1...After almost 12 wonderful years of working at the BBC, it is with a heavy heart that I announce my decision to move on to new adventures. It has been an absolute privilege to have been a part of this incredible organization,
🚨🇮🇹 Pep Guardiola said no to Italy due to personal decision, it’s not about financial proposal.
Guardiola will be back at coaching at the right time and when he feels new project is the best one possible; now dedicating time to family.

#BREAKING: Somali Referee Omar Artan Appointed to Officiate European Super Cup Clash Between #PSG and #AstonVilla in #Salzburg@UEFA has appointed Somali referee Omar Artan to officiate the highly anticipated match between Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa in Salzburg.
The announcement was welcomed by Somali football supporters, who view the appointment as a significant milestone for Somali refereeing on the international stage and a reflection of growing recognition within European football circles.
UEFA has made its move. Hello @premierleague, @LaLigaEN, @SerieA_EN — it's your turn now.
The Islamic Republic has suffered dramatic blows. And yet the regime endures. As we warned when this war began, its mere survival counts as a victory of sorts https://t.co/2014DMJ3rc
KNOW YOUR HISTORY:
To the Somali young generation who were misled into believing their country was always the begging bowl and the laughing stock that the Ethiopia-armed clan-based rebels rendered it to be in 1991, this is Omar Arteh Qalib, the foreign minister of Somalia in 1972, dictating to the region what to do and what not to do about a raging war between Tanzania and Uganda.
If you pay attention, you will notice that the Somali top diplomat, who deployed SNA Commandos along the border between Uganda and Tanzania, is warning the Tanzanian forces who invaded Uganda a week earlier. "The Peace Formula" he is referring to is the "Mogadishu Deal," a Somalia initiative through which a lasting solution would be reached between the two countries.

Arteh is proudly disembarking from a clearly marked Somali Air Force airplane at Jomo Kenyatta Airport to talk to an anxious Western press on his way to a hotel in Nairobi, where he was staying overnight so that he could share the development of the Mogadishu Deal with H.E. Mzee Jomo Kenyatta the next morning. President Kenyatta then saw it perfectly fitting to completely defer to Somalia in solving the crisis. Arteh left Kenya the following day.
