Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin güvenlik, eğitim ve altyapı alanlarında sağladığı yoğun desteğe rağmen Somali’nin Kıbrıs meselesinde Ankara’nın hassasiyetlerini göz ardı etmesi, stratejik ortaklık söylemiyle açık bir tutarsızlık oluşturmaktadır. Somali, Ankara’nın kırmızı çizgilerinin farkında olmalı ve ona göre hareket etmelidir.
Prof. Abdi Ismail Samatar, a senator in the Federal Parliament of Somalia:
“The Somali president, in cahoots with Türkiye, has orchestrated a scheme to ‘elect’ a new speaker for the lower house of the Somali parliament. The candidate, a former member of Al-Shabaab who was later trained in Turkey, has been a close ally of Ankara. Ankara has succeeded in putting its man at the helm of parliament and can vigorously pursue its neo-colonial agenda at the forefront of policy-making in Somalia. This change should alarm all concerned.”

Sheekh Cali Wajiis, khudbaddiisii Jimcaha ee maanta, wuxuu kaga hadlay gudniinka fircooniga, halka dhammaan culimada Soomaaliyeed ee ku kala sugan dalka gudihiisa iyo dibeddiisa ay khudbadahoodii kaga hadleen dhulboobka ka socda Muqdisho!
I commend Sheikh Bashir Ahmed Salad, Chairman of the Somali Religious Scholars Association, for using today's Friday sermon to name the injustice facing Mogadishu’s residents whose land is illegally seized and homes deliberately destroyed under a president whose term has expired.
I thank the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for reaffirming Somalia’s longstanding position on the Republic of Cyprus.
The clarification responds directly to an August 17 social media post by the recently installed Parliament Speaker, Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur. In the post, he thanked Turkish Cypriot assembly leader Ziya Öztürkler for congratulating him on his election and referred to him as the speaker of the assembly of the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.”
Northern Cyprus is recognized as an independent state solely by Turkey.

STATEMENT BY THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF SOMALIA
Somalia’s position on Cyprus remains unchanged. Somalia reaffirms its full respect for the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus, under the UN Charter and relevant UNSC resolutions. 🇸🇴🇨🇾
My visit to Galmudug State carried a clear message of peace & unity to the Somali people. I reaffirmed our commitment to strengthening security, advancing state-building & completing the path to democratic transition. Together, we will build a united, secure & prosperous Somalia.
UPDATE: Federal MP Koshin says he believes in Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, a breakaway region in northern Somalia. He says Somalia has been destroyed under President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s leadership.
Swedish MP Markus Wiechel of the Sweden Democrats declared: “There are two parties in the Swedish Parliament that recognise the Republic of Somaliland: the Christian Democrats and the Sweden Democrats. We will pave the way for more recognition. Vote yellow and blue on 13 September.”
In this statement, the MP presents the recognition of Somaliland — an act that amounts to the dismemberment of the Somali state — as a central plank of his foreign policy platform while campaigning for votes in Sweden’s general election on 13 September 2026.

There are two parties in the Swedish Parliament that recognize the Republic of Somaliland, a success story in the Horn of Africa.
The Christian Democrats and the Sweden Democrats. We will pave the way for more recognition. Vote yellow and blue on September 13th.
Anigoo fulinaya ballanqaadkaygii ahaa in aan xal u raadiyo tabashada xildhibaannada saaxiibbaday ah, waxaan maanta xafiiskayga ku qaabilay guddigii ay soo wakiisheen. Waxaan ka wada hadalnay sidii khilaafka jira loogu dhamayn lahaa wada-hadal, is-qancin iyo isu-tanaasul.

War-saxaafadeed ay soo saartay saddex cisho ka hor, Dowladda Puntland waxay ka digtay qorshaha safarka Xasan Sheekh uu ku imaanayo Koonfurta Gaalkacyo ee Dowladda Galmudug, waxayna ku tilmaantay mid uu uga golleeyahay “in uu fidno iyo colaad ka abuuro Magaalada Gaalkacyo oo si nabad iyo xasilooni leh ay ugu wada nool yihiin labada dhinac ee Puntland iyo Galmudug.”

This is yet another World Bank-funded project in Somalia. World Bank projects in the country continue to suffer from a serious lack of accountability, transparency, and effective scrutiny by the relevant federal and local oversight institutions. As a result, significant portions of the funds allocated for these projects ultimately end up in the pockets of private contractors and corrupt politicians.
Somalia’s auditor general has flagged unverified expenditures in World Bank programs like Baxnaano cash transfers, persistent gaps in procurement, implementation, and domestic revenue tracking.

This evening in Mogadishu, Hamsa Abdi Barre urged members of Parliament to create TikTok accounts and become active on the platform, noting that the “newly elected Speaker of the House” - widely known as TikTok - is already a prominent figure on TikTok.
In an official press release dated 13 August 2026, the Puntland government has accused Federal President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of orchestrating a plot to incite conflict in Gaalkacyo between Puntland and Galmudug.
Puntland states that it has obtained intelligence indicating a conspiracy by the federal government to provoke clashes in the divided city. It calls on local residents, Galmudug authorities, and its own defence forces to remain vigilant and uphold peace.
The statement further urges the Somali public and the international community to hold the federal leadership accountable for any actions that risk escalating tensions along the Puntland–Galmudug border.
