A timely and important article. Public office is a public trust, not private property. When state institutions and assets become a family enterprise, accountability dies and corruption thrives. A powerful piece worth reading and sharing.
“There is a country in the Horn of Africa where the president’s term expired in May, and the president responded the way a man responds to an expired gym membership: he kept using the equipment and dared anyone to say something.
Welcome to Somalia, 2026.”

People with weak and corrupt character, including those who’ve committed crimes, often display a recognizable pattern: they hit a low point, get caught, or face consequences, and then claim a sudden transformation or “change of heart.”
Eliene has just graduated as a Civil Engineer. She and my daughter Muraayo are cousins. I am African Freelance Politician and my in-laws are Klanjins of Kenya. Salma, my beloved wife is the best thing that has happened to me. A lot of Somalilanders say bad things about my family when I talk about their love for Netanyahu. But life is good with happiness and I am so happy. This is the answer of a lot of Somali Kenyans who engaged me and my wife about integration of inter racial marriages between Kenyans and Somalis.
Good or bad is relative here. No food is inherently good or bad, but the taste is different from what you’re used to. I would say Somali injera is not my cup of tea.

The man speaking says nothing about killing people. Whoever translated for you misled you. You seem to be igniting hatred between people, and that is dangerous.
A Somalian Imam in Calgary, Canada, has made alarming statements urging that any Oromo individual in Jigjiga, or in Somalia should either leave or be forcibly removed or killed. This Imam's actions classify him as a terrorist, and he must be held accountable for his threats. It is crucial to report him to the Canadian authorities.
The Turks are so greedy, and they’re going to fail badly in Somalia. Mark my words. On the other hand, HSM is so clueless and hates consultation and advice. His isolation will lead to his downfall.
“We have granted our Turkish brothers three oil and gas exploration blocks, and if they request more, we will gladly grant them as well. Türkiye is a strategic partner that stood by Somalia during its most difficult times. The relationship between our two countries will continue to serve as a model of brotherhood, cooperation, and mutual interests.”
—President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, Dr. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud
According to RTN Somali TV, opposition members stationed in the capital city of Mogadishu became divided over the planned protests and fighting, with some opposition candidates refusing to participate in both the clashes and the demonstrations. RTN Somali TV, citing reliable sources within the opposition, reports that funds coming from the UAE government divided the opposition members.
This split occurred after certain candidates kept the sent money for themselves and used it for personal gain.
According to RTN Somali TV, this division and mutual suspicion triggered by the UAE money led to the cancellation of today's scheduled protest and resulted in the absence of several candidates from the public square.
UAE delivered heavy weapons, which it had transported to the region under the Sudan dossier through Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni, to Hassan Ali Khaire and Sheikh Sharif. It is known that they were promised political bribes in exchange for disrupting the environment of stability in Mogadishu.
On the other hand. Those who consistently align themselves with one political faction while presenting themselves as neutral observers risk undermining their own credibility. No one care ur politically motivated commentary arkadash.
Former Somali Prime Minister, UAE backed Norwegian warlord, is reportedly negotiating an exit plan from Mogadishu following an alleged failed coup attempt. Meanwhile, families of those killed in yesterday’s violence are calling on the government to arrest him and ensure he faces justice.
It is remarkable how some individuals with zero understanding of Somalia’s political realities continue to make sweeping claims about Somali affairs. Labelling political opponents as “warlords” and repeating unverified allegations does not contribute to informed discussion.

Today, xenophobia and hostility toward African immigrants appear increasingly widespread in South Africa. Those who promote such attitudes seem either unaware of the historical solidarity shown by other African nations or choose to overlook it.
Somalia and many other African countries played a significant role in supporting the African National Congress (ANC) and its armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), by providing military, diplomatic, and material assistance during their struggle against apartheid in South Africa.

The so-called JSP faction of HMS has engaged in fraudulent activity by falsely registering individuals as members without their consent. They used the names of well-known figures in Somali politics, added them to their system, and then sent confirmation emails thanking them for joining.
This represents a deeply concerning and unethical practice, one that goes beyond standard misconduct and raises serious questions about integrity and accountability.
Madam Ambassador,
Respectfully, the time for “following” situations has passed.
We have a government/President who is using STATE security to punish regions who refuse to remain outside the bounds of the legitimate constitution of 2012 - a constitution he was sworn to uphold.
Reminder - HSM is on record to committing political violence in Raskambooni so he can remain in power indefinitely.
Same playbook. Not fighting AS or IS.
The idea that ONE man becomes the law and uses hard gained state powers to force his will is why Somalia’s gov collapsed.
We, the Somali people acknowledge the important role EU plays in the development of Somalia’s state institutions.
The Somali people do not want to see this support turned into state capture.
The time to act is now - bf more blood is shed.
