Congratulations to Ambassador Mohamed Abdi Affey on the historic launch of your book, Baadigoobkii Nabadda Geeska, at the Somali National University in Mogadishu.
Your tireless dedication to Somalia’s state-building, the advancement of peace, and bridging political divides across the Horn of Africa are contributions we deeply value. This work reflects a lifetime of diplomacy, courage, and vision for a stronger, more united region.
I am confident this book will inspire leaders, illuminate our shared journey, and strengthen the cause of lasting peace and progress throughout the Horn of Africa.
The inquiry is made under the Access to Information Act. It is deeply concerning that there might be such dangerous experiments covertly taking place in 🇰🇪. What is more concerning is the fact that these might be operations being run by private, foreign & unaccountable entities.
1/2 Following the recent concerns raised by Kenyans regarding the existence of strange facilities conducting genetic modification of mosquitoes in parts of the Country, we instructed our counsel to inquire from the PS at MoH, the official position of the govt on this issue.
We will today converge to celebrate the legacy of a father, leader, diplomat, peacemaker & philanthropist. @AMB_Affey’s story is one that will echo in the mind of the African continent for many years. Congratulations Adeer. Looking forward to an evening of history & reflection.
@Dahiro_abdy & I have filed a constitutional petition challenging the constitutionality of the Privatization Act 2025 on grounds of insufficient public participation, erosion of Kenyans’ socioeconomic rights & Kenya’s sovereignty. The matter is coming up for directions tomorrow.
Today, in a nostalgic mtg, my friend Prof. Badejo & I, were decorated with Djibouti Order of 27 June 1977, by the P.M, on behalf of Pres. Ismail :25 yrs ago at Arta I delivered Kenya’s congratulatory message @ the successful Somali Peace Process & swearing in of the Somali Pres.

In 2015, on a cold Saturday morning, my 3 brothers and I drove down to Narok County. We were mere saunterers. Along the way, we joked about owning a luxury camp in the Mara one day. A decade later, #OlKupeliaMara was born. This has been a tale of brotherhood, love and adventure.
It is only in Kenya where state officers implicated in corruption scandals rush to threaten advocates with defamation suits for making inquiries and inviting DCI, EACC and ODPP to conduct investigations on behalf of clients. Laughable and dishonourable to say the least.
Congratulations to my uncle, friend, partner and confidant @omarfarukmaalim and his wife Sumaya Mohamed Tariq. May Allah bless your union and may your household be filled with love, peace, joy, success and wisdom. I am an extremely happy and proud nephew today.
Our firm has today written to the Principal Secretary of the Ministry of Energy requesting for documents and information regarding the illegal dumping of toxic and/or nuclear waste in Northern Kenya.
Can one really remain unaffected by the #Gaza_Genocide? Can the illegal actions of Israel be deemed justifiable when innocent & defenceless #Palestinians bear the brunt? Where does your conscience stand amidst all this massacre? EVERY family in Gaza is burying their loved ones.
Discard & throw in th trash the nugatory Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the #UN Charter & everything related to #HumanRights - their black letters have done nothing & will do nothing to stop th massacre & razing down of the #Palestinians where are the mighty peacekeepers?
They have to know how hard it will be to come back from this. The Swahili saying "kikulacho ki nguoni mwako" meaning "the thing that is eating you is inside your clothes" comes to mind, or in pop culture terms: in the end the call is came from inside the house.
"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.
There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.
I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.
It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!
So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.
And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."
