#Turkey🇹🇷 seems to believe they can replicate their Syrian playbook in Somalia 🇸🇴 but the context is entirely different. Their strategy is misguided, based on misinformation and a poor understanding of Somalia’s internal dynamics.
Same week:
• Turkey deploys F-16s to Somalia
• 10+ Turkish cargo planes land in Mogadishu
• Turkish National Security Council officially prioritises Somalia’s territorial integrity
• Somalia appoints a new commander for the army, with Turkish education and training
The Gulf states e.g Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait...thrive without forced unity despite their same religion and language. No imposed federalism, no forced union, just stability built on cultural cohesion and smart governance but each with an independent country and sovereignty.
>20yrs, Somalia’s elite political cartel has recycled power, same faces, and same failures. The next 3–4 presidents are already predictable. The UN is tired. 🇮🇱 didn’t divide 🇸🇴 corruption, and greed did. Perhaps smaller self-ruled states/countries are the only way. 🇸🇴 #Somalia
The @WHO has released the new #KangarooMotherCare (KMC) Clinical Practice Guide, supporting care for preterm and low birthweight babies through skin-to-skin contact and breastmilk feeding.

It’s World Breastfeeding Week! 🤱🏾
Breastfeeding is one of the most powerful ways to give babies a healthy start in life — boosting their immunity, protecting them from disease, and providing complete nutrition and comfort.
While Puntland Security Forces are engaged in a war against ISIS, @HassanSMohamud’s admin is organizing chaos & conflict in that region.
If Puntland moves the forces fighting ISIS in order to deal with FGS-sponsored chaos, it will be on HSM & his PM.

Dr. Abdi M. Hersi @ahersi2a and I have written this short piece five years ago on whether we should celebrate or mourn independence week of Somalia. Very little changed since. Here it is

May 12th marks two deeply meaningful observances — World Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) Awareness Day and International Nurses Day.
As a physician, I’ve seen firsthand the invisible struggles of those battling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome — a condition that drains energy, limits lives, and yet often goes unrecognized. It’s time we bring visibility to the invisible. We must listen, validate, and support those who fight daily battles within their own bodies — with strength the world cannot see.
Let us spread awareness, push for research, and most importantly, show compassion.
On this same day, we also bow our heads in respect and raise our hands in applause for our nurses — the heart of healthcare.
From midnight vigils to emergency rooms, they bring skill, empathy, and resilience to every shift. They are the ones who hold a child's hand during pain, reassure anxious parents, and walk beside doctors in saving lives.
To the nurses and the warriors of chronic illness — your courage inspires us all.
Warm regards,

A vital step forward for advancing and promoting child health by introducing pneumococcal and rotavirus vaccines. Well done, @MoH_Somalia. #Somalia#PUNTLAND
Congratulations @MoH_Somalia for introducing the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine and #rotavirus vaccine to reduce the disease burden of #pneumonia and diarrhoea-related illnesses. @Gavi is proud to support your efforts to tackle two leading causes of mortality for children. https://t.co/AFuArWwVNF
