This is the bardera bridge, the only passage connecting the two sides of the town. More than 10K families have been displaced by the floods, the neighborhoods on the west side of the town are still isolated. The floods also hit the towns of Dolow, Luuq & Burdhubo in Gedo region.
Alhamdulillaah, finally my book titled #Somalia’s Federalism : History, Challenges and Prospects is ready for publication. In the book, I discussed the political history of Somalia, democracy era, dictatorship era, and the restoring and rebuilding of the nation era.
Also, I shed light on the historical point of view of #Federalism and the contemporary evidence of how federal architecture has contributed to the governance. Meanwhile, i added my voice of how federalism is peculiar for #Africa as only three nations namely #Nigeria, #SouthAfrica, and #Ethiopia practice it.
Finally, i argued that Somalia’s federalism is neither “Coming Together” nor “Holding Together”, rather amorphous as the center-periphery conflict remains unabated.
Stay-tuned!

Successive climate disasters have created an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in Somalia.
Prolonged drought, crop failures, livestock and infrastructure loss, and floods have left millions in dire need.
Urgent, scaled-up climate action and financing needed #ActOnClimate
Climate change is directly contributing to humanitarian emergencies & shocks in Somalia from, floods to droughts & it’s increasing in scale, frequency intensity. At @CaccSomalia, we’re responding to grassroots mobilizations. Support us to re-double our #ClimateAction efforts.
The worsening climate crisis is severely affecting our Somali community.
What if we told you that our individual contributions can have a significant impact on environmental well-being and the mitigation of climate crises?
Let's act together! #ClimateAction
What is happening to Somali communities post #ElNino? What are community needs & how to meet them?
#CACC held a 2-day training workshop to discuss this exact question with local youth and activists, professionals, and concerned community members in Baardheere district.

1979-2023 Bardera Bridge:
With the Bardera Bridge's destruction, climate change revealed the vulnerability of our world to climate crises. It's a reminder that we need to prioritize climate action and work together to build a resilient future.

Waa qormo aan ku sharxayo nidaamyada doorashooyinka kala duwan iyo nidaamka doorashooyinka ee ay dowladdu soo bandhigtay. Waxay ku soo baxday Bogga BBC - Somali. Yaan dalka oo dhan laga dhigin hal deegaan doorasho ayaan ku doodadayaa. Ku soo dhawow doodda.

Here is an article I have written in Somali language on the selection of an electoral system for #Somalia. I argue against the government’s proposed ‘closed-list proportional representation and single constituency (district). I contend that the electoral system used between in 1954-1969 (closed list PR and multi-districts) should be adopted.

If the oscillating news on a meeting between president @HassanSMohamud and PM @AbiyAhmedAli under the brokership of #Italy become true, then #Somalia is at a risk hand. Our president should and MUST persist his unwavering position on the provocative #MOU between #Ethiopia and the breakaway region of #Somaliland.
If Abiy is willing to restore the diplomatic ties between the two nations, he has to withdraw the MOU, regret, remorse and repent for the ill-intended move. Because in Politics, when you start explaining it, then you almost lost it!
KU DHAQAN LA'AANTA WAXAAN DHIGANAY
Sidaan bilowgii doodda labada Aqal uga jeediyey,waxaan mar walba aaminsanahay in arrinku uusan ahayn diidmada wax ka beddalka Dastuurka oo keliya,balse arrintu tahay maxaa Baarlamaanka JFS xilligan adag ahmiyad 1aad u ah!
Maanta waxaa la sugayey in Ajendaha marka 1aad la ansixiyo,la akhriyo soo jeedinta Xildhibaanada kadibna cod loo qaado si uu u noqdo ansax Habraaca wax ka beddalka Dastuurka ee maanta labada Aqal la horkeenay.
Runtii waxaa meeshaa ka dhacay waa mid ceeb ku ah Baarlamaanka;waa mid taariikh mugdi ah gelisay Baarlamaanka;waa mid niyad jab ku reebtay Shacabka Soomaaliyeed ee sugayey u jahaynta Difaaca Dalkeena lagu soo duuley.
Ansixintii Habraacii maanta waxaan ku tilmaami karaa boob iyo dhac loo geystay dareenka iyo qabka Shacabka Soomaaliyeed ee dowladnimada u ooman.
Dhanka kale,waxaan ummadda Soomaaliyeed ee aan matalo u caddaynayaa in aan mar walba u taagnahay ku dhaqanka wixii la ii dhaariyey,anigoo mar walba ah Codka kuwa aan Codka lahayn!

Speaker of Parliament #Madobe doesn’t have neither the capacity to lead an institution, nor the good moral campus of eschewing timely uncalled-for actions. He’s just a mediocre and YES man for any incumbent government.
Embarking on #Constitutional Amendment journey devoid of a wider consultation from the political stakeholders, the public and pending case of #Somaliland, will be the elephant in the room, and will open up another Pandora’s box.
I really appreciate the few principled MPs, including his Excellency @AAbdishakur for his unmanipulated stance on this!
The rubber stamper parliament should remain always a complicit in @TheVillaSomalia ‘s moribund agenda, and will remorse later!
XILDHIBAAN OGOW
Waxaan aaminsanahay in aan maanta la joogin xilli la furo ama laga hadlo Dastuurka.
Waxaa la joogaa markaan u wada istaagi lahayn difaaca dalkeena lagu soo duuley,welina duulaanka qaawan lagu yahay.
Waxaan joognaa xilligii shacabkeena loo jahayn lahaa midnimada iyo diyaar garowga Danta,Dalka iyo Difaaca Qaranka.
Waxaa is weydiin leh,sababta mowjad cusub loo furaya,innagoo og xaaladda dalkeenu ku suganyahay maanta!!!
Waxaa xusid mudan,in Baarlamaanka JFS @AqalkaSare@Golaha_shac_JFS uusan carareyn,sidaa darteena ay habboon tahay in Habraaca Dastuurka lala sugo xilliga ku habboon.

What a display of competency and eloquence by Deputy Prime Minister @SalahJama.
In this short clip, the DPM showed his ability to effectively represent our country on the global stage. His articulate delivery and insightful perspectives are undoubtedly the best. Thank you Excellency!
Luuq is facing a critical humanitarian situation. The river slightly receded the environment was severely damaged.
Families displaced by floods are enduring harsh conditions without access to shelter, medicine, or food. Urgent emergency aid needed. #Gedo#Somalia
The collapse of the Bardera Bridge is huge. This bridge built in the late ‘70’s , connected Bardera to El Wak & Kenya. It was the main route to Garbaharey, the Capital of Gedo. Its biggest impact was to integrate the Bay-influenced East with the Gedo-influenced West. A tragedy.
#Bardera bridge is gone. Built in 1978, this bridge had connected the West (administrative offices, airport and old city) to the East (animal market, farms, sizable IDPs and most of satellites adjacent to the city) of the town.
The new realities call for a new, serious measures.
Bardera Bridge 1979 -2023
The loss is indescribable. The bridge represented hope and progress. Its destruction has shattered lives, torn families apart, and jeopardized livelihoods. The impact reaches far beyond one place; it affects the entire region of Gedo. #Somalia
Deeply concerned about the situation in Luuq. The rising water level has submerged the bridge, and the threat extends to Bardera and other areas in Gedo. Urging residents to relocate far from river areas for safety. We need government and NGO support. #FloodResponse#SafetyFirst
Commissioner @MahamuudMoallim speaking to the media tonight from the National Emergency Operations Centre #NEOC, spoke about the losses due to the torrential rains that have claimed 29 lives, injuries, property damage and affected 850,000 people.
🌊 This is the Luuq bridge in #Somalia's Gedo region. For the first time, the river's floods have surged over the bridge, posing a significant risk that heightens concerns of potential town-wide flooding. Reports indicate that the river has already overflowed into certain neighborhoods.
