Today, I defended my Master's capstone in Fisheries Management and Conservation. It has been a long journey,and I’m grateful to my parents, teachers, friends, and everyone who supported me.
I also thank @Cumogadishu, @MFBESomalia and @FAOSomalia for making this program possible.

I captured this short video in seagrass meadows at low tide. It offers practical examples of seagrass serving as nursery grounds and shelter, including an eel preying on small fishes in the area.

Today in Brussels, the African Union met in extraordinary session after Israel’s recognition of a secessionist region in Somalia. Africa stood united: Somalia’s sovereignty is non-negotiable, and violations of international law cannot be accepted.

"Marine Prosperity Areas"- interesting.

[OneOcean @OceanFlotilla]

Have you heard of Marine Prosperity Areas (MPpAs)?

This framework balances marine protection with sustainable livelihoods, supporting long-term economic and social resilience alongside biodiversity recovery, going beyond traditional #MPAs benefits.

I commend this collaboration between the Ministry @MFBESomalia and Navy. Many times, I emphasised the need for capable enforcement forces(Navy) to protect our marine resources. IUU fishing is worst threat to our marine resources.

@ADirshe Well done.

Burkina Faso’s President Ibrahim Traoré reportedly declined an offer from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to build 200 mosques, emphasizing the country’s urgent need for development. He stated, “If the people of Gaza can pray without mosques, so can we. Our priority is not more mosques, but hospitals, schools, universities, roads, airports, and jobs for our youth. We need progress, not just places of worship. We appreciate the offer, but our focus is on building a stronger future for our people.

A true leader is not the one who seeks power but the one who empowers others.
