@shf_somalia is supporting life-saving food security interventions in Buurhakaba through local partner @wardirelief.
1.7K+ drought-affected households received cash assistance to meet urgent needs & strengthen community resilience.
More support is needed.@GConway_UN@OCHASom
We've concluded our 5-year-long #FS3 project in #Beledweyne & #Buloburte district. With support from @actionmedeor x @BMZ_Bund, we've supported 1,000+ farming HHs in Hiran with improved farming skills, tools, & nutrition support to strengthen food security and resilience.
Through #PoWEr project, @wardirelief supported 80 farmers with quality seeds, farming tools, & access to tractor hrs to prepare land & improve productivity. With support from @actionmedeor x @BMZ_Bund, this strengthens food security & supports HHs to make the most of this season.
Watch how our #SHFproject, with support from the @shf_somalia, is improving access to water, hygiene, and sanitation facilities in #Beledweyne district.
President @HSM says Somalia has officially entered the era of “one person, one vote.”
Now let us examine the masterpiece of democracy that reportedly took place in Baidoa:
1. First, candidates were kindly invited to register through a JSP link and join the party. Because under JSP democracy apparently comes with mandatory membership.
2. Candidates were then encouraged to bring as many voters as possible. In simple terms: welcome to the vote marketplace. Prices reportedly ranged from $5 to $20 per voter depending on competition, demand, and seat availability.
3. Want to run for parliament? Wonderful. Just pay the small “democracy activation fee” of $1,500, conveniently shared between the party and the electoral commission. Very modern system.
4. After that, actual votes reportedly became less important because the real counting seemed to happen somewhere between the chairman of the commission and the JSP secretary-general.
5. Then came the transparency phase. After deciding who they actually wanted, the results were announced. To make everything look slightly democratic, a few seats were generously distributed to coalition parties, commonly referred to by Somalis as “hidden JSP.”
6. Interestingly, only JSP candidates had the honor of seeing their names publicly announced. The rest of the parties apparently received a polite “thank you for participating” message with only the number of seats attached.
7. And finally, for the grand finale, some people who reportedly won were removed anyway because they failed the famous “trust test.” In this new democratic model, winning votes is apparently not enough. You also need management approval.
So to summarize:
They control the commission.
They control the voting machines.
They control the counting process.
They control the results.
And somehow this is still called competition.
At this point, I honestly do not know whether to call this an election, a business franchise, or a fully managed political subscription service.
Here are two men who decide who is in and who is out.
We were honored to host the Action Medeor Germany team in Mogadishu 🇸🇴 for program visits and project monitoring. The team met with our dedicated staff, discussed successes, challenges, and lessons learned, and visited our health facilities and an IDP camp to witness the impact of our work firsthand.
In a memorable moment, they presented a gift on behalf of their team, celebrating 15 years of partnership and collaboration. Our CEO also expressed heartfelt gratitude for the continued support that enables WARDI to bring hope, health, and opportunity to communities across Somalia. 💙
Here’s to many more years of working together to transform lives!

In the early 1990s, the U.S. deployed elite units (Delta Force & Rangers) for months trying to capture General Aidid, they left the country with defeat and without success to capture Aidid.
Decades later, a head of state #Maduro was captured in a matter of hours.
Different contexts, different realities—but history shows that Somalis are freedom fighters.
As part of our efforts to improve access to clean water in drought and flood-affected communities, @wardirelief, in partnership with @ACFsomaliaCD and @Sida, has successfully rehabilitated the Jawil borehole in #Beledweyne.
Equipped with a solar-powered system, diesel generator, water kiosks, and troughs for livestock, this borehole now provides safe water directly to households and their animals.
This intervention is a key step in ensuring that vulnerable families have reliable access to clean water for drinking, cooking, hygiene, and livestock needs.

Through the #GAASHAAN Project, health workers are now equipped with the skills, tools, and coordination needed to respond to GBV with compassion, dignity, and confidentiality.
During the #16DaysOfActivism, we celebrate stronger systems that save lives and ensure every survivor is treated with dignity and respect.✊

The market is confusing right now.
Many people are completely on the wrong side of the trade.
