UEFA have announced that Somalian referee Omar Artan, who was due to officiate at the World Cup before being denied entry to the USA, will take charge of the UEFA Super Cup final between PSG and Aston Villa

En un mundial de fútbol jamás se debió haber excluido una persona por el color de su piel, como al árbitro Omar Artan

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Cumar Artan ma gaarin #FIFAWorldCup oo keliya. Wuxuu taariikh dhigay isagoo noqday garsoorihii kubadda cagta ugu horreeyay ee Soomaaliyeed ee halkaas gaara, isla markaana ka mid ah garsoorayaasha ugu wanaagsan #Afrika. Guushaas cidina kama qaadi karto, wax kasta ha dhacaane.
Cumar, aad baan uga xumahay waxa dhacay. Waxaad gaartay heerka ugu sarreeya ee xirfaddaada, waxaadna dhiirrigelisay jiil dalka jooga adigoo halkaas gaaray. In lagaa hor istaagay fursaddii aad u qalantay ma beddelayso taas.
Tani ma noqon doonto halka ay ku dhammaato sheekadaadu. Dunidu way ku garab taagan tahay, waxayna kuu rajaynaysaa samir, adkaysi, iyo in aad mar kale garsoorto kulamo waaweyn oo caalami ah.
Waan ku garab taaganahay, Cumar.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Omar Artan didn’t just make the #FIFAWorldCup, he made history as the first Somali referee to get there, and as #Africa’s best. That milestone stands no matter what. So sorry to see this, Omar. You reached the summit of your profession and inspired a generation back home just by getting there, and being kept off the pitch you earned doesn’t change that. This won’t be the end of your story on the world stage. The world stands with you as one family, wishing you resilience now and many more major finals to come. Solidarity. #Somalia

Somali Cumhurbaşkanı, aziz kardeşim Şeyh Mahmud’u İstanbul’da ağırlamaktan büyük memnuniyet duydum. 🇹🇷🇸🇴

Temelinde köklü tarihî, beşerî ve kültürel bağların olduğu ilişkilerimizi ilerletmeye, Somali’nin güvenlik ve istikrarına destek vermeye devam edeceğiz.

Somali’yle enerji alanındaki iş birliğimiz günden güne güçleniyor.

Oruç Reis sismik araştırma gemimiz, Somali deniz alanlarında 9 ay süren araştırma faaliyeti yürüttü.

4 bin 465 kilometrekarelik alanda yürütülen bu çalışmalarla ülke tarihinde bir ilke imza atıldı.

Gelinen noktada 2026 yılında sondaj faaliyetlerine başlamayı planlıyoruz.

Bu faaliyetlerimiz, Somali halkının refahına önemli katkılar yapacaktır.

Somali Cumhuriyeti ile tarihî nitelikte bir iş birliğini uzay alanında hayata geçiriyoruz.

İmzaladığımız anlaşmalar çerçevesinde Somali’de bir uzay limanı kurmayı öngörüyoruz.

3 fazdan oluşan projenin ilk fazının projelendirmesini tamamlayıp Türkiye Uzay Ajansı eliyle yapımına başladık.

Projemizle uzay, fırlatma ve uydu teknolojileri alanında önemli bir altyapı oluşturmayı hedefliyoruz.

Tüm bu projeleri hayata geçirirken Türk Kızılay, TİKA ve AFAD başta olmak üzere ilgili kuruluşlarımızla Somali’ye destek olmayı sürdürüyoruz.

Somali’nin birlik ve bütünlüğünün her şart altında muhafazası, bizim için öncelikli meseledir.

İsrail’in Somaliland’i tanıma kararı gayrimeşrudur ve kabul edilemez.

Elinde 71 bin Filistinli kardeşimizin kanı olan Netanyahu hükûmeti; Gazze, Lübnan, Yemen, İran, Katar ve Suriye’ye yönelik saldırılarının ardından şimdi de Afrika Boynuzu’nu istikrarsızlığa sürükleme gayretindedir.

Biz bu süreçte Somali’nin toprak bütünlüğünü ve siyasi birliğini kararlılıkla desteklemeye ve Somali halkının yanında durmaya devam edeceğiz.

Somalili kardeşlerimizin de birlik, beraberlik ve millî mutabakat ruhu içinde hareket edeceğine yürekten inanıyoruz.

[Mursal M Khaliif 🇸🇴 @MPMursalKhaliif]

You’re right, Ambassador!

It’s shocking that a country with 41,042 gun related deaths and 501 mass shootings in 2024 (highest in the world for both categories) will take presidency of UN Security Council in March.

That coveted position must be based on security of the country.

[Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇸🇴 @MOFASomalia]

FM @AbdisalamDhaay reaffirmed that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of #Somalia are inviolable, in accordance with the Constitution, the United Nations Charter, and the Constitutive Act of the African Union.
#Somali #EU #UN

[Hassan Sheikh Mohamud @HassanSMohamud]

The illegal aggression of PM Netanyahu in recognising a part of Somalia’s Northern region is against international law. Meddling with Somalia’s internal affairs is contrary to established legal & diplomatic rules. Somalia & its people are one: inseparable by division from a far.

[Abdiaziz Hassan Mohamed @Laftagareen]

I firmly reject PM Netanyahu’s declaration recognizing Somaliland. This violates international law and threatens Somalia’s sovereignty and unity. We stand united with the Somali nation to defend our territorial integrity. 🇸🇴 #Somalia

Baidoa, 17th December, 2025

PRESS RELEASE:

Alert: Looming humanitarian Crisis is Imminent in South West State

After reviewing all available data and information, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs & Disaster Management (MoHADM) of South West State officially declares an urgent alert of an impending humanitarian crisis, urging immediate preparedness and coordinated action to prevent further deterioration.

MoHADM calls on the Federal Government of Somalia, donors, and humanitarian partners to mobilize urgent support and closely monitor the situation.

The South West State Government reaffirms its commitment to protecting its people and urges Somali citizens—especially SWS communities—to stand together and play their part during this critical moment.

@fausto_andreia @SoDMA_Somalia @WFPSomalia @IGAD_CPAC Anticipatory Action is not about meetings in Mogadishu.

As Somalia faces a severe humanitarian crisis, resources must go to early action and delivery on the ground, not workshops.

It’s time for action, not meetings.

[Minister Abdinasir Abdi Arush @nasirarush]

Anticipatory Action in the eyes of @SoDMA_Somalia becomes meeting held in Mogadishu.

It’s time @SoDMA_Somalia and #UN partners understand this is not time for meetings and waste resources in Mogadishu.

Somalia is currently facing a humanitarian crisis, prompting UN agencies and international partners to be more cautious about how and where resources are allocated.

It’s action and delivery time.
