🧵 It is incredulous that within just days of the Assad regime's fall, a number of European countries, including Germany, Austria, Denmark, and others have announced pauses in the processing of asylum applications. (1)
1/4 After extensive discussions, leaders have reached a consensus on key constitutional reforms:
•Directly elected president.
•President's power to appoint/dismiss the PM.
•Establishment of 3 national parties.
•5-year terms for both president and parliament.
3/3: As the political class navigates this new order, the impact on the average citizen remains indirect. Our job is to watch, analyse, and understand how these political game changes will eventually reshape society.
2/3: Leadership demands more than ambition; it requires the ability to inspire and unite. If you can't lead, follow someone who can. These reforms are a crucible for the political class, demanding adaptation in a system that values democratic principles and team work above all.
1/3: Parliament's approval of the constitutional reforms marks a seismic shift in Somali politics, ending the reign of individual power players. It's a game-changer. The era of lone wolves is over. Political elites must now band together, forming coalitions.
@RAbdiAnalyst When Turkey deployed its armed forces to Qatar to shield it from potential UAE &KSA invasion in 2018,deterred them from advancing with their plan. In Libya, the UAE took no action when Turkey intervened and dismantled the militias of the Emirati-backed rogue Libyan general,Haftar
@AmbRhodaJElmi Why don't you mistranslate and misrepresent the agreement, and then publish your bag of lies on social media, as you did with Ilhan Omar's speech?
At the 37th summit of the AU, the plan was to talk and dominate social media with two themes: education for the 2060 horizon year and next G20 participation by Africa.
But the media is buzzing with the rift between Somalia and Ethiopia on territorial sovereignty. In that case, Somalia succeeded to re-arrange the decks. Muse Faki and Ethiopia as the host tried to place a blanket on Africa's conflicts. But that did not happen. We are talking about conflicts all over.
"One day after I broke into my next-door neighbor's house, I contacted another neighbor to help me talk to the owner of the house into which I broke.
The owner of the house, whom I consider a friend anyway, was unreasonably furious to the extent that he refused to talk to me until I moved out of his house.
Then I contacted another elderly gentleman who lives in the neighborhood so that he could talk to the owner of the house I vandalized to discuss with me the way forward. The owner of the house flatly rejected my second offer.
Then I embarked on calling random mutual friends in town to persuade the owner of the house that I had broken into to start a negotiation with me. No one has so far succeeded in persuading the man who owns the house in question to engage in dialogue with me.
And now, you see, I have been forced to not waste time waiting for someone who would not talk to me. I am therefore making plans to reconfigure the house.
That is how responsible, peace-loving, @NobelPrize Laureate, and pragmatic leader I have been throughout this saga."

IS IT SAFE TO VISIT OR TRAVEL WITHIN ETHIOPIA?
❐ Over the weekend, Oromo rebels implemented restrictions on the movement of vehicles to and from the Oromia region. Individuals found in violation are facing severe consequences [see 👇vdeo], which suggests the federal government's diminishing control over the regions.
As per U.S. State Department Travel Advisory (July 31, 2023), DO NOT travel to:
- Tigray Region and border with Eritrea due to sporadic violent conflict, civil unrest, and crime.
- Afar-Tigray border areas due to sporadic violent conflict, civil unrest, and crime.
- Amhara Region due to sporadic violent conflict and civil unrest.
- Gambella and Benishangul Gumuz Regions due to crime, kidnapping, ethnically motivated violence, and sporadic violent conflict
- Oromia Region – Specific areas due to sporadic violent conflict, civil unrest, and ethnically motivated violence.
- Southern Nations and National People (SNNP) Region due to sporadic violent conflict, civil unrest, and ethnically motivated violence.
- Border area with Somalia due to terrorism, kidnapping, and landmines.
- Border areas with Sudan, and South Sudan due to crime, kidnapping, civil unrest, and sporadic violent conflict.
- Border areas with Kenya due to the potential for terrorism and ethnically motivated violence.
Those advocating for the balkanization of Somalia have accused Somalis of irredentism.
They seek to detach a province called Somaliland from Somalia; they want Ethiopia to extend its territory to Somalia’s sea, acquiring by force a port and military base, yet they accuse Somalis of irredentism!
We are striving to protect our land — Somalia — from the encroachments of Ethiopians, terrorists both Al Qaeda and ISIS, pirates and illegal fishers, and even Kenya tried to claim the other sea (the Indian Ocean) and the International Court of Justice told her, no, yet, we face accusations of irredentism.
What does irredentism even mean?
According to the dictionary, it is a policy of advocating for the return of any territory that formerly belonged to a country.
If we had advocated reclaiming what we lost, perhaps the current drive for balkanization would not have occurred.
It's a strange world where victims become the accused.
