Musa didn't knew Allah was going to split the sea for him. He just knew that Allah won't abandon him.

In calamities tell your heart you and Musa have the same Rabb.

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

WORST WORLD CUP IN HISTORY

[John Wight @JohnWight1]

Even Hitler's Germany did not prevent athletes and officials from entering the country to take part in the 1936 Olympics.

This is pristine racism and @FIFAcom stands disgraced for allowing Trump to disfigure the beautiful game in this way.

“The North will no longer continue being the prodigal son who comes home late to join his siblings on the table of government facilities and nation building.”

The construction of the Wajir State Lodge, as part of the Madaraka Day 2026 National Celebrations recognizes the region’s historical significance and the long standing Presidential engagements with the North Eastern region.

FUEL PRICES: Practical proposals on how to deal with the Fuel Prices in Kenya.

With a monthly consumption of approximately 400 Million litres, the government must reduce pump prices by at least the following amount. The proposal below is not a favour but asking the government to reinstate taxes and levies before they were added by this regime in 2023 (VAT) and Fuel Levy (2024).

Reduce Ksh 7 from the fuel levy that was added in 2024.

Reduce VAT by an additional 5 % immediately, which will be approximately Ksh 8 per litre.

Grant an additional 5 Bn in subsidies from the Fuel Stabilisation Fund, which will be approximately Ksh 12 Per Litre. The fund already has more than the required amount and in excess of Ksh 20Bn.

This should translate to a reduction by Ksh 7 8 12 = Ksh 27.

This is not too much to ask. Kenyans are simply demanding the reduction of Levies and taxes to the level they were before 2023.

We are African and Africa is our Business..

CONFIRMED: Several US military bases are experiencing internal revolt as a huge number of soldiers are refusing to go to the battlefield and die for Israel. This will have a devastating impact on pentagon and the Whitehouse. Internal revolt is the first time to be experienced.

Pep Guardiola on Leeds fans booing the fasting break for Ramadan: “It’s the modern world, right? Look what’s happening in the world right now again, right?

Respect the religions, respect the diversity - that is the point! It’s what it is, unfortunately.

The question is: can they do it or not? Can they do it? Take a break for one minute to do that? What is the problem? Is there a problem?!”

Kenya will now print its national exams locally, ending over 40 years of outsourcing abroad.

Over those decades, the papers were printed in the UK under tight security before being flown back to Kenya.

Botswana’s President, Duma Gideon Boko, has declined an invitation from United States President Trump to visit the White House.

According to the words of Botswana President Boko:

“If there is any business or official engagement to discuss, it should take place in Botswana, not abroad.
Botswana is tired of traveling abroad for deals that concern its own resources.

If there is genuine interest in our resources, come to Botswana so we can talk business.

Let us respect the basic principle of commerce: buyers should go to the sellers. If the situation is reversed, then the buyer’s interest is not truly valuable.”

The future of kenyans at stake

[Deeqa 🇸🇴 @Deee_luul]

There is growing public debate in Kenya following the government’s approval of a large agricultural and commercial land project, approximately 520 acres or 210 hectares, in the Solai area of Nakuru County, north of Nairobi. The land is owned by an Israeli investor named Erez Rivkin.

Many Kenyans on social media have described the project as resembling a “settlement” or a gated foreign community, particularly because of the investor’s Israeli background. Given the ongoing Israeli Palestinian conflict, this has fueled political concerns and suspicions about possible undeclared intentions.

Some commentators have also drawn historical parallels to the early 20th century Uganda Scheme, when the British proposed land in what is now Kenya for Jewish settlement. That proposal was ultimately rejected by the Zionist Congress, but it has resurfaced in public discussions as a point of historical comparison.

As a Somali, I stand with the Kenyan-led pushback against this project, because these people can't be trusted. Stop it before it is too late.

The Roots of the Somali Crisis: An Insider’s Memoir by Colonel Ahmed Omar Jess

A firsthand account of Somalia's descent into state failure.

This memoir gives an analytical account of Somalia’s modern political history written by Colonel Ahmed Omar Jess, a former Somali army officer who served as a Division Commander and Head of Military Intelligence under President Mohamed Siad Barre prior to the collapse of the central government.

Also as a narrative of Somali nationalism from the colonial period through independence, including the role of movements like the Somali Youth League and early post-independence politics.

Jess provides a first-hand look into the Siad Barre era (1969–1991), highlighting major decisions that he views as pivotal in weakening the Somali state for example, military confrontations, diplomatic choices, and internal repression.

The author critiques key strategic decisions, the 1977–78 conflict with Ethiopia and subsequent political choices and attributes much of the state’s unraveling to leadership missteps and factional rivalries.
