The Governor of the Central Bank of Somalia, Abdirahman M. Abdullahi (@AbdirahmanM_A), delivered keynote remarks on reforming financial markets for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) at the Annual Somalia Development Forum (#ASDF2024)..
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!

This soldier vocalize a popular Somali song that every Somali knows by heart. It’s titled: I am Somali — Soomaali baan ahay!
Here is a rough translation.
—————————————
I share names with equality A mortal I do not allow To tell me he is better than I And allusive words and hints I confer not on anyone as gifts I am Somali
Though impoverished I am Yet my hardships I endure And my palms I do not extend; A man with whom I am friends With my enemy I do not equate I am Somali
I am in a quest for peace And from enmity I am terrified But [from the battlefield] I flee not And the man who brings wounds From his hands I await not [I launch assault] I am Somali
A man who endangers me lives not in peace Sovereign always I have been Gratitude I have not yet abandoned Nor do I support not any transgression And a wronged man I compare not with others I am Somali
To whom my ways do not appeal As he wishes I do not comply with Like some parts of the world Coercion I do not accept Nor do I carry any man’s shoes I am Somali
O’ you who is wealthier than I Your offerings for name’s sake Know that I expect them not Say not, too, persuade the ignorant For I have not a conscious that sleeps I am Somali
Neither man’s stroking of my head (flattery) Nor him shackling my legs [duplicity] do I accept Patronizing I do not approve As for plotting [against me] I say A Saab [vessel] that hold no water I am Somali
My speed is as the wind And on impulse I do not act I am like fangs of poison [when provoked] And at times, the bearer of good [when dealt with peace] I am swathed in patience I am Somali
A man who endangers me lives not in peace And no man has tamed me before Gratitude I have not yet abandoned Nor do I support not any transgression And a wronged man I compare not with others I am Somali
I am like Saan [hide] split into two That still bears the credentials Some men once disintegrated me Whilst I tended to my flocks [But] the obligation of unity I [still] carry I am Somali
