Years ago, the first child from Somaliland received life-saving heart care at @SaveChildsHeartโค๏ธ
Today, newly established diplomatic relations between Israel and Somaliland are already bearing fruit. The first delegation of children has just returned home after a month of treatment - healthier, stronger, and with brighter futures.
Here's to many more hearts saved.
This single facility in Somaliland holds 1% of the entire worldโs cheetah population.
The government should also enclose other wild animals and open a national wildlife park in the future.
The Somaliland Prisoners Held in Las Anod
Who is actually negotiating or advocating on their behalf? The Garaads? Firdhiye? President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud (HSM)? Or a public that has been given different expectations by different actors?
The prisoners have increasingly become a political bargaining tool, but there is no single decision-maker. Instead, multiple actors are pursuing different objectives, often with competing priorities.
Hassan Sheikh Mohamud (HSM): May view the issue as leverage to bring Somaliland back to the negotiating table.
The Garaads: They do not all share the same position. As Garaad Jaamac acknowledged, there are differing views and approaches among the traditional leadership.
Firdhiye: Appears to use the issue to seek political concessions from the Somali Federal Government and present them as achievements for the people of Las Anod.
The people of Las Anod: Many are primarily concerned with determining their own political future and how they are governed.
Thats why most of the people here on X begin by raising โCeerigaabo, accept Sool-Bari administration or this and thatโ while diverting from the core issue on which the discussion stands. Which is a conflict among the Garads of Lascanood, Firdhiye himself and the armed militia which doesnt answer to no one.โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
The key point is that there are multiple centres of decision-making, each with its own interests, calculations, and desired outcomes. These interests do not necessarily align, meaning decisions about the prisoners are shaped by competing political agendas rather than a single unified position.
Conclusion: The communities involved remain heavily armed and have not achieved genuine reconciliation. The Adhi Cadeeye massacre serves as a reminder that the underlying conflict remains unresolved, making any political settlement both complex and fragile.
The city of Burao, in Togdheer region of Somaliland, produced legends like Musa Haji Ismail Galaal who created the modern Somali alphabet & script.
It is used today in Somaliland, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and by millions of diaspora Somalilanders & Somalians globally.
