We respectfully urge @AnthropicAI to open access for Somali creators and innovators.
Thousands of Somali students, developers, researchers, and digital creators are ready to learn and build with AI. Yet access to Claude (AI assistant) remains unavailable in Somalia.
The AI future must be inclusive and Somalia should be part of it.

Users in Somalia cannot create accounts or access the platform, while several neighboring countries have access.
Somalia has many students, developers, researchers, and digital creators who want to learn and build with modern AI tools.
When an entire country cannot access these platforms, it limits participation in the global AI ecosystem.
This issue deserves attention from institutions responsible for digital policy, including the National Communications Authority (@SomaliaNCA) and the Ministry of Communications & Technology (@MoCTSomalia).
Somalia should not be left outside the AI future.
@AnthropicAI, please enable access for Somalia.

Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Prime Minister Hamza Barre have arrived in the city of Lasanod, the capital of the newly created Northeast State.
This is the first time a Somali president is visiting the region in four decades. The visit coincides with the inauguration of Abdikadir Ahmed Aw-Ali, known as Firdhiye, who was elected in August 2025 as the first president of Somaliaโs Northeast State.
They are due to attend the swearing-in ceremony and a series of consultations with traditional elders, civil society leaders, and local officials.
The visit comes at a crucial time as Somalia makes efforts to assert its sovereignty and territorial integrity following recent unilateral recognition of the breakaway region of Somaliland by Israel, which has angered the international community, with many saying Tel Aviv's decision violated Somalia's sovereignty

1/2 - Somaliaโs energy sector is quietly evolving, led by Soma Oil & Gas and co-founder Sami Michl. Over the past decade, heโs turned Somaliaโs offshore basins from potential into credible opportunity; combining data, reform, and stability.
@xubbifarah I am surprised by the hate I see here. Her identity is not something you can take away, she was born a Somali, she can simply become the future president of Somalia. We are proud of our identity, nation and people no matter where they are born or live.
Why Somalia Must Stay One Nation ๐ธ๐ด
1๏ธโฃ One History โ Our struggles, victories, and heritage are shared.
2๏ธโฃ One People โ Language, culture, and faith connect us deeply.
3๏ธโฃ One Strength โ Unity protects us; division weakens us. @UnrollHelper
Did you know?
The Somali ethnic group controls the largest contiguous land area dominated by a single ethnic group in #Africa.
Approximate total: ~1,067,000 kmยฒ (Greater Somalia).
No other ethnic group in Africa controls a contiguous landmass this large.
This isnโt a coincidence:
Over centuries, Somali clans moved across vast territories in search of grazing lands, trade routes, and strategic locations. In doing so, they often fought fiercely to establish dominance over neighbouring groups, gradually becoming the majority in the Horn in terms of land mass.
I understand why Abyssinia has been envious for centuries.

Eritrea ๐ช๐ท is not alone: Lines Have Been Drawn and the Region Will Erupt.
It will not be contained. If "Prank-Ethiopia" ever dares to declare war on Eritrea, it wonโt know whether it walked into hell or straight into the mouth of a volcano.
Eritrea is not standing by itself, it has a bloc of fearless allies, including Egypt, Sudan, and Somalia; waiting for such opportunity. Together, they will flatten that colonial outpost once and for all.
Weโve all heard that raw-meat-chewing general bragging and threatening Eritrea for its Assab. His superior sang the same empty threats while ago. The bloc and the region โre watching; just waiting the signal & Berlin scouts to try something. #Eritrea #RedSeaPower #HornOfAfrica #Sudan #AssabIsEritrea #EritreaPrevails #AlliesStandStrong #Egypt #Somalia #EastAfrica #Africa #Asmara
This reminds me of a little note I photographed during field research in Lasanod in late 2003. Sitting with Abdullahi Sanjab (IHUN) and others in the "Nugaal Intellectual Forum, listening to the interesting stories shared there, I noticed a paper on the wall, on which stood: "Ha ilaawina maalinta badbaadinta midnimada Soomaaliyeed Dec. 7, 2002". I asked and heard that on that day, Somaliland's president Dahir Rayaale Kaahin was chased out of Lasanod.
He had come to prepare the first local government elections of Somaliland in Dhulbahante lands, which back then were not controlled by Hargeysa at all. Dahir Rayaale Kahin had been invited by some former NSS colleagues. Yet, the majority of the population of Lasanod rejected him as president of a breakaway republic they did not support.
President Kahin and his entourage (some 200 SL soldiers) were attacked by several technicals mainly manned by Dhulbahante, coming from Garowe, and they fled the city. This was remembered as "Day of preserving the unity of Somalia".
23 years, and many partly tragic events later, Lasanod is free to elect its own administration today which is part of Somalia, as the majority of the people in that area always wanted. This can be seen as example of resilience and dedication to a political cause that could really mark the beginning of a new Somalia. Khayr ayaan ku rajeeynayaa.
