ضمن توجيهات فخامة رئيس الجمهورية أحمد الشرع، أغلقنا صفحة سوداء في تاريخ سوريا برفع التصنيف الذي فرض عليها بسبب سياسات النظام البائد 1979

كل الشكر والتقدير للولايات المتحدة بقيادة الرئيس ترامب على هذا القرار، ولصديقي وزير الخارج��ة ماركو روبيو وللسفير العزيز توم باراك ولكل من وقف إلى جانب سوريا.

Today’s Irony in Mogadishu

Today, representative of the Somali political opposition and the regime met at the Turkish Hotel at Aden A. Osman International Airport.
Most Somalis are praying for peace and for a fair electoral process that would undo Hassan Sh’s authoritarian and deeply corrupt roadmap.  
In addition, the public are seriously worried about the possibility of the dictator instigating a new civil war. What he did in Baidoa, and his attempts to encircle Puntland have all the hallmarks of the dying days of a morally bankrupt regime.

Despite the prayers and the well wishes of the public, the Somali political opposition made a serious mistake by allowing the Turkish Deputy Chief of Intelligence to be a mediator.
It is exceptionally ironic that the Somali opposition thought that the regime in Ankara, widely known for its heavy handedness against the Turkish opposition, would  play a neutral role. Come on!

My dear Somalis.  Prayers alone are not enough. Wake up!

Iraq’s sweeping anti-corruption campaign carries an important lesson for Somalia. Raids on the homes of senior politicians and security officials have reportedly uncovered millions of dollars in cash, gold, and luxury properties, as the new government moves to recover looted public assets.

Iraq and Somalia have both endured terrorism, state collapse, insecurity, and foreign interference. But Iraq appears to have recognized a fundamental truth: these are symptoms, not the disease.The real disease is state capture, when political elites treat public office as private property, public wealth as personal wealth, and loyalty and nepotism as more valuable than competence, integrity, and merit.

No nation can defeat terrorism or achieve lasting security while corruption has hollowed out its institutions.

Strong states are built when the rule of law is stronger than corruption, institutions are stronger than individuals, merit prevails over patronage, and the national interest comes before clan, family, or faction.

From today, customs duties apply to e-commerce parcels worth up to €150 entering the EU.

30 million Europeans work in retail; it's our our largest private-sector employer.

And the surge in low-value online imports has put our retailers at an unfair disadvantage.

Too many of these products also fail to meet EU safety standards, putting consumers at risk.

Today's change is about restoring fairness for European businesses and better protecting our consumers.

Puntland’s future depends on stronger institutions, not Deni’s invented political narratives.

Whenever there’s serious allegations about Deni’s business investments in Oman, Dubai, & Zambia or Puntland politicians ask about public finances, governance, or the rule of law, the blame immediately shifts to Mogadishu. That reflex weakens accountability because it turns scrutiny of Puntland’s governance & Deni’s personalization of power into a debate about external threats..

Puntland will not be strengthened by treating every scrutiny about Deni’s scandalous conduct, behavior, & actions as an attack on Puntland itself. Strong societies distinguish between loyalty to the state & sycophancy to those temporarily exercising power.

Puntland’s future will be secured by transparent government, responsible stewardship of public resources, & leaders that serve the citizens & willing to answer difficult questions.

One of the main source of revenue for Somalia's former President @HassanSMohamud is the Miraa imported from Kenya. The taxes he levies gets him a net monthly revenue of US $ 6 million. He shares the profit with a few Somali-Kenyan brokers in Nairobi. Because of the war efforts he is engaged in Mogadishu, I'm reliably informed his current visit to Nairobi apart from seeking help from President Ruto, is to renegotiate the commissions he pays in Nairobi. This man's appetite for money has few parallels in history.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

The Iranian regime will lose the zero-sum game it is playing.

Any damage it inflicts on our allies in the Gulf will be paid for with funds extracted from Iranian Accounts.

Any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority will be offset by funds extracted from their accounts.

Every attack Iran launches will only deepen the economic and financial consequences it faces.

Soccer would not exist without immigrants. Immigrants play and coach the game, work in the stadiums, fill the stands, and make celebrations like the World Cup possible. Six of the players on the US Men's National Team are immigrants.

We will not allow ICE or anyone else to sow fear in our communities — especially at this moment. As the world comes to our city, we will stand proudly with our immigrant neighbors and reject these attacks for what they are: an attempt to divide us.
