I am deeply disappointed by the news that Omar Artan, Africa’s finest referee and one of the best in the world, may be unable to officiate at the FIFA World Cup due to visa-related circumstances.
Omar has earned his place through talent, hard work, professionalism, and integrity. Having officiated at the highest levels of African and international football, his credentials speak for themselves.
He represents not only Somalia, but also the aspirations of millions of young Africans who believe excellence should be recognized on the world stage.
I remain hopeful that a solution can be found. Football is at its best when it brings people together and celebrates merit, inclusion, and opportunity.
Omar, Africa and the world stand with you.
Profound thanks to the people of Qabridahar town of Korahey Zone and Kudunbuur town of Goglo district who welcomed us warmly. I inaugurated Kudunbuur small dam and water supply system, constructed with a cost of 150m Birr, and attended the starting ceremony of Kebridahar water treatment plant, which will cost over 400m Birr.
I visited Karoor Agro-Industry, one
Of the “Bounty of Basket” initiatives implemented in Somali Region.
Also monitored the progress of the new asphalt roads (around 3km) in Qabridahar town, and the reconstruction of Qabridahar Airport, which is underway with a total cost of 2.6b Birr.

My allah grant him the highest place in jannah and give his family and loved ones the strength to bear this loss. Ameen
A united people & functioning state can never be intimidated by ragtag outfits like Al-Shabaab. Our gallant special forces are once again proving that the peace in the region is not at the mercy of terrorists. Lunch with the heroes who annihilated AS at Huluul, Afdheer zone.
Gone are the days when blockades & media blackouts were used to hide disasters. #Somali_Reg is open for all national & international media & humanitarian organizations (who already have strong presence). We not only invite, we encourage them to come & see the situation.
Many thanks to our brothers Harari Regional State and President Ordin Badri for contributing 11 million Birr (10 million cash and 1 million in-kind) to drought-affected people in Somali Region. It is a timely support which attests to the historical brotherhood of the two people.
Somali Regional State is facing a prolonged dry season. Pasture & water shortages are resulting in loss of livestock. So far situation in most zones is in IPC-Phase 3 (crisis), but can deteriorate to level 4 (emergency) without timely and adequate response.
