What a #Game! The sheer pressure cooker environment of those final 15 minutes was completely nerve-wracking, #congrtz#Mexico & #England for putting on an unforgettable spectacle.
@colincowherd thinking you can change over a century of global football tradition just because penalties inconvenience your American attention span. 😭 What’s the rest of the world supposed to do, just comply? And what should u r wf have done when u failed to take the garbage out BTW????
@khaledmahmoued1 It is incredibly rich to hear lectures about "stabs in the back" and Israeli relations from an Egyptian perspective, considering Egypt was the very first Arab state to formally recognize and sign a peace treaty with Israel decades ago.
The President of the Republic of Somaliland, His Excellency Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi (Irro), today embarked on an official state visit to the State of Israel.
Two realities. One region.
In one: chaos, fear, instability.
In the other: peace, order, resilience.
Not the “sexy story.” The real one.
Find it. Tell it. Amplify it.
HISTORIC speech by Consul General of Israel in Toronto, Ms Idit Shamir:
"The tide is turning. We stand with you, we celebrate with you, we build with you.
May your independence be recognised by all those who value democracy. May your partnership with Israel be the first of many such partnerships."
Amin 👏👏👏

In antiquity, a Jewish community lived and traded in modern day Somaliland.
Historians believe most may have been Arab Jews - migrants from Yemen.
Archeological traces of an early thriving Jewish life aside, a small minority Somali clan called "Yibir" traces its genealogy back to Jewish roots.
For more on this forgotten, fascinating history of Jewish presence in Somaliland read this piece.

The speaker is Mujahid Hassan Issa Jama, Somaliland’s Vice President at the time.
With only a few chairs and a small table, it shows hardship but also true ownership and confidence.

To #Somalilanders: If you're wondering where President Irro is, he’s currently representing you at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland! He’s scheduled for key meetings with Israeli President Herzog and US President Trump.
Big moves for #Somaliland on the global stage.
