@Sland1960@HarunMaruf "The US recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia, which includes the territory of Somaliland. The State Department is not in active discussions with Somaliland’s representatives about a deal to recognize Somaliland as a state."
I want to commend our teams in @FAOSomalia for an extraordinary commitment, energy and creativity in delivering impactful results on FAO mandates in Somalia.
The first session of Science, Technology & Innovation Day at the Somalia Pavilion during #COP16Riyadh highlighted the role of youth-driven science, technology, and innovation in tackling challenges like desertification, deforestation, and drought.
Key topics included the impact of technology and youth-led innovation in sustainable land management and raising community awareness about global climate action efforts.
@COP29_AZ focuses on the crucial role of #ClimateFinance 💰, Sustainable 💰= real climate action, equity for those hit hardest, and youth-driven solutions.
We need a #LossAndDamage fund with just, direct access for frontline communities. Finance must work for people & planet!
We,@UNmigration is @Coy19Baku bringing the voices of youth and communities affected by #ClimateMigration and confirming our commitment to youth engagement and effective solutions for climate resilience and adaptation.

Proud to be the 1st LCOY Somalia Organizer! We brought 150+ youth together, creating an inclusive National Youth Statement on Climate. Thanks to our hosts, sponsors, media team, & passionate youth. Together, we’re shaping Somalia’s future! 🌱💪 #LCOYSomalia#ClimateAction
As the #LCOY Somalia organizer, I'm proud to share that our recent virtual pre-LCOY session was a success! We tackled local climate challenges & made great strides in drafting our NYS.
Looking ahead, we’re gearing up for an in-person session earlier next week to finalize our NYS.
My #ClimateMobility call to action to policymakers is that climate finance, incl adaptation, mitigation & loss and damage funds must explicitly fund planned migration &relocation.Otherwise,we will continue to see loss, damage & suffering of frontline people.#KDMECC#Youth4KDMECC
The impact of climate change on human mobility is undeniable.Millions are becoming internally displaced & some are becoming climate migrants, seeking safer & more stable places to live.We must address both the root causes and consequences. #ClimateMobility#KDMECC#Youth4KDMECC
Today, we celebrate the beauty and diversity of the environment. Let's commit to preserving our unique landscapes, rich biodiversity, & vital ecosystems. 🌱💚
Let's work together to protect our legacy & environment.
Our land. Our future. We are #generationrestoration#somalia
