@tuncdemirtas Hard to call this deal fair when Somalia gets at most 5% royalty- global norms are 10-20%. The contractor keeps up to 90% of production for “cost recovery” and pays zero bonuses or fees. That’s not a standard oil contract, that’s exploitation!
@MPMursalKhaliif As a legal counsel, I couldn’t believe my eyes. This agreement is entirely written to serve Turkey’s interests. Completely one sided and exploitative. Somalia deserves better! Who negotiated this agreement on behalf of Somalia?
Honored and thrilled to receive the Dutch Somali Achievement Award in the category of Young Somali Women from the Center for Media & Dialogue. Huge thanks to the sponsors: IBS Bank, Alhijra Travels, and Hayat Market. Grateful and inspired! #IBSBANK#CMD
Last event of Sommillials was great! I was inspired by the students and their discipline to build their own network. My message to them was simple: don't be too hard on yourself and enjoy the process. And ofc, never let anyone else set the bar for you, esp not a system.
Lawyers are trained to provide A+ work. It’s a hallmark of the profession. As a result, we dwell on things. We start with big things (every way this argument can be debunked) and then small (every comma perfectly placed).

New year, new opportunities!
On 2 February, I will be one of the panellists for the #Somalimillennials event. I’m looking forward to sharing my experience as a commercial IP/Pharma attorney with young passionate #Somali-Dutch students.
You can still sign up! #careerevent
Big Pharma’s big push into Africa's cancer market. "Most of the world’s new cancer cases are found in Africa and other LMICs. The proportion rose from 15% in 1970 to 56% in 2008 and is predicted to account for as much as 70% by 2030." https://t.co/AsBvuBAhkS

So impressive to see how diaspora women create an open atmosphere to discuss difficult topics such as mental illness within the Somali community. #hernameishana@thedigitalsis
