[Ahmednasir Abdullahi SC @ahmednasirlaw]

One of the main source of revenue for Somalia's former President @HassanSMohamud is the Miraa imported from Kenya. The taxes he levies gets him a net monthly revenue of US $ 6 million. He shares the profit with a few Somali-Kenyan brokers in Nairobi. Because of the war efforts he is engaged in Mogadishu, I'm reliably informed his current visit to Nairobi apart from seeking help from President Ruto, is to renegotiate the commissions he pays in Nairobi. This man's appetite for money has few parallels in history.

An ENTIRE government built on lies, theft and harm.

They lie about the 10,000 homes for the evicted.
They lie about elections.
They lie about security.
They lie about abducting and torturing activists.
They lie about programs and development.
They lie about the constitution.
They lie about Mogadishu/Banadir status.

Nothing but lies, propaganda, theft, intimidation, and force. @HassanSMohamud @HamzaAbdiBarre

Somalia’s Fake Human Rights Commission: A Political Shield for Dictatorship and Abuse

The so-called “National Independent Human Rights Commission” has become one of the greatest political frauds imposed on the Somali people under the collapsing regime of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. An institution that remained silent while poor Somali citizens were illegally evicted from their homes, journalists intimidated, opposition voices targeted, and young women like Sacdiya Bajaaj dragged through abuse and persecution now suddenly lectures the public about “human rights,” “governance frameworks,” and “Paris Principles.” What a disgraceful joke.

Where was this commission when Somali citizens exercising their constitutional rights under the Provisional Constitution of Somalia  -  including freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and freedom of peaceful assembly  -  were threatened, arrested, harassed, and silenced? Where was Dr. Maryam Qasim when journalists were intimidated for exposing corruption, when innocent civilians were violently displaced from Dayniile, Kaah, Kordamac, Tarabuunka and other neighborhoods in Mogadishu, and when security forces were weaponized against vulnerable citizens instead of protecting them?

This commission has refused to defend the very rights it claims to represent. It has failed every legal and moral obligation expected from a genuine independent human rights institution. The reality on the ground is crystal clear: this body was never independently selected. It was handpicked and politically manufactured by one of the most corrupt and authoritarian administrations Somalia has witnessed in modern history. A commission appointed by the same political elite accused of constitutional violations, repression, illegal evictions, corruption, and abuse of power can never credibly present itself as “independent.”

The repeated references to the “Paris Principles” are insulting to both Somali citizens and the international community. Independence is not achieved through donor-funded workshops, staged meetings with UN officials, or empty press statements. Independence is demonstrated through courage - by standing against abuse of power regardless of who commits it. This commission has shown none of that courage.

International partners and UN officials must stop blindly financing institutions that exist only as political decorations to sanitize dictatorship and systematic abuse. Somali taxpayers and international donors deserve answers about how much funding has already been wasted on these fake governance and human rights structures while the rights of ordinary citizens continue to be crushed in plain sight.

History will record who defended the Somali people and who chose salaries, donor conferences, and political loyalty over truth, justice, and constitutional accountability.

#ALERT. Former Southwest State Spokesperson Says Baidoa Surrounded, Offensive Against Mogadishu-Backed Forces Imminent

The spokesperson for former Southwest State President Abdiaziz Laftagareen stated that their forces have surrounded the city of Baidoa, adding that operations against the armed forces backed by the Mogadishu-based federal government will be launched soon. He also urged the people of Southwest State to join their ranks in confronting the forces loyal to President Hassan Sheikh’s administration in Baidoa.

Next Friday is 15 May 2026: the last legitimate day of outgoing president Hassan Sheikhs term. In his last week, he must focus on finding an inclusive election model with all stakeholders. He must also release all illegally imprisoned civil society activists and journalists.

[MP Dr Abdillahi Hashi Abib @MPDrAbib]

Former Minister, your attempt to whitewash criminal land grabbing, forced evictions, and open looting of public property is not only dishonest - it is insulting to every Somali citizen who has witnessed these crimes with their own eyes.

You have the audacity to speak about “legal ownership” and “procurement laws” after serving in one of the most corrupt administrations in Somalia’s history  -  an administration accused of turning public land, state institutions, and international aid into private family businesses for the benefit of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, his relatives, and his inner circle.

There was nothing “legal” about evicting poor families, internally displaced people, small business owners, and vulnerable citizens through abuse of power, intimidation, and politically connected land cartels. Public land was not reclaimed for the Somali people  -  it was redistributed to regime insiders, businessmen tied to the presidency, and corrupt networks enriching themselves during the final desperate days of a collapsing administration with only 9 days left in office.

Do not insult the intelligence of Somali people by pretending these properties were transparently auctioned through lawful procurement systems and deposited into the national treasury. Everyone in Mogadishu knows the reality: the money flows into private pockets while ordinary citizens are thrown into the streets without compensation, due process, or dignity.

Your claim about “10,000 housing units for IDPs” is another recycled propaganda lie designed to cover up systematic corruption and illegal dispossession. If this government truly cared about IDPs, Somalia would not still have hundreds of thousands of displaced citizens living in misery while politically connected elites build mansions, warehouses, and luxury compounds on stolen public land.

What is truly despicable is not exposing these crimes  -  it is defending them.

The Somali people are no longer afraid of officials who weaponized the state to enrich themselves. History will remember this period as one of the darkest eras of corruption, nepotism, land theft, and abuse of power in modern Somali history.

For 32 years, secessionist Somaliland have been deceiving the world with their fabricated aspirations of secession. Great news that finally the world, including UK, "reaffirmed their full respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence and unity of Somalia"- UNSC

Kindly listen to the President Isaias Afwerki of Eritrea, the last surviving pan-Africanist leader in our continent.

[Abdullahi Aden Kulane @Abdulkullane]

The Executive signing agreement without approval from the Parliament undermines the principles of democratic governance and accountability.

In recent months, the Executive signed a number of agreements among them, the #UAE security deal that touches on our sovereignty and hands over our army to the #UAE, the deal was never debated in the Parliament.

Parliamentary leadership must step up and write to the executive and demand the executive adhere to the constitution so that all agreements are brought before the House for Debate.

The executive bypassing the parliament and unilaterally entering deals without scrutiny by the Parliament is unconstitutional and unacceptable.

Parliamentary leadership needs to understand there will be a consequences for making the parliament dysfunctional.#Somalia
