🇵🇸🇸🇴 “Somalia stands firmly with the Palestinian people and their legitimate right to self-determination and statehood. We reaffirm our support for a just and lasting peace based on a two-state solution with an independent and viable Palestinian state along with the 1967 borders. A just resolution of the Palestinian question remains essential to the lasting peace and stability in the Middle East and beyond.”
Schools in Dhummay, Dabataag, and Dharkayn Geenyo are competing with schools in the capital, Las Anod, in terms of educational quality and standards. This has been made possible by the efforts of the teachers and the administration of those schools. Masha’Allah!
Huge congratulations to @Sagal_AW on being selected as @UKLabour’s candidate for Holborn and St Pancras by-election. I look forward to campaigning for her over the next few weeks.
BREAKING: Twelve countries issued a joint statement announcing national bans on trade in goods from illegal Israeli settlements:
🇫🇷 France
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
🇨🇦 Canada
🇩🇰 Denmark
🇪🇸 Spain
🇫🇮 Finland
🇮🇪 Ireland
🇮🇸 Iceland
🇳🇴 Norway
🇵🇱 Poland
🇵🇹 Portugal
🇸🇪 Sweden
Macron, UK PM Burnham, and Canadian PM Carney agreed the situation is deteriorating with "unprecedented" settler violence and settlement expansion, specifically calling the E1 project "inadmissible."
They salute measures already taken by Ireland, Spain, Netherlands, Norway, and Belgium.
The statement demands Israel immediately stop settlement expansion, hold violent settlers accountable, and investigate allegations against Israeli forces.
They "firmly oppose any action resulting in the annexation of Palestinian lands or forced displacement."
My article on the Mogadishu military tribunal's records (1915–1941) is out now in 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢. I hope it draws attention to this archive as a resource for research on African and Arab soldiers in the Italian colonial army https://t.co/Xm3Fol6e65
Sagal Abdi-Wali has given more to Britain than every scumbag racist combined. She is the very epitome of integration and public service.
I think there should be a widespread call for @ZiaYusufUK to formally apologise to her.
Who agrees?
If chosen to fight this seat in central London I think Sagal would be the first. British-Somali woman to be a Member of Parliament in Britain. She’s marvellous
🚨 NEW: Sagal Abdi-Wali is now the frontrunner to be Labour’s candidate in Holborn and St Pancras
She arrived in the UK as a child refugee from Somalia and is an ally of Keir Starmer
My latest for @newhumanitarian on how the war on Iran has affected Somali households.
The initial economic shock has eased, but inflation is still being felt as aid cuts and the collapse of the Somali shilling exacerbate the strain.
