They are destroying ancient archaeological sites in Puntland dating back to the Kingdom of Sheba and the time of the Prophet Solomon.
Somalis need to wake up and speak out against the destruction caused by decades of U.S. military operations carried out under the banner of fighting terrorism.
STOP BOMBING SOMALIA!

Whereas @Abdirahmanirro’s secessionist position was ridiculed, @HassanSMohamud told the U.S. & the world that the Federal Republic of #Somalia’s unity & territorial integrity cannot be compromised or divided along lines rooted in Europe’s colonial legacy. This must be respected.
Easily the worst interview by a Somaliland president, probably ever.
- Why Somaliland lacks int. recognition?
"I don’t know." *Giggles*
- Whats your view on Somalia?
"They’re our brothers, we've worked out a deal for free movement of goods and people recently."
- What minerals can Somaliland offer the US?
"I'm not a geologist, I don’t know… maybe everything?"
- How did you secure your coast from piracy?
"I don’t know, our coastguard dont have any equipment."
- Whats your view on the Sudan?
"It’s too far."
Cirro seemed entirely unprepared to advocate for Somaliland’s core interests. The good moderator from Hudson Institute kept tossing him softballs and he continued to struggle, giggle, and look at his entourage to rescue him.
He could not even answer a basic question about his time in the Soviet Union.
@khadarlooge, you and your team failed to prepare him adequately for an event of this magnitude.
This is happening in Nairobi, Kenya❗️
It started after Kenyan President William Ruto ordered on September 2 that small shops and street-vending businesses run by “foreigners” be shut down, referring to Africans from countries such as Burundi, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the DRC.
How can Africans condemn the way other parts of the world treat African migrants when Africans are treating fellow Africans like this .. IN AFRICA?!
And why are African politicians suddenly trying to imitate the Trump administration’s approach to immigration? The irony is that Ruto describes himself as a Pan-Africanist.
All Somalis in Kenya should remain cautious and vigilant for the time being.
Mogadishu Port has jumped 36 places in just 2 years, rising from 163rd to 127th in the World Bank’s Container Port Performance Index (CPPI).
That puts Mogadishu Port 1st in East Africa, 6th in Africa, and 127th out of more than 400 ports globally.
Mogadishu Port covers roughly 350,000 m², with about 1,035 meters of quay. Most of the country’s imports enter through the port.
Since 2014, Türkiye’s Albayrak has operated and modernized the port under a 20-year revenue-sharing concession signed during Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s first presidency, under which the company initially received 45% of revenues and the government 55%. During Farmaajo’s presidency, the agreement was reviewed after the original terms were criticized as being unfair and skewed in favor of the Turkish side. Negotiations lasted nearly three years, and in 2020 a revised 14-year concession was finally signed, increasing the government’s revenue share to 62.17%.
The renewed concession includes $50 million in investment over 5 years to upgrade the port, expand capacity, and improve operational efficiency.
• Its estimated capacity has surpassed 400 vessel calls per year.
• In 2025, the port handled roughly 1.2 million tons of cargo and nearly 200,000 containers.
• Projected federal customs revenue from Mogadishu Port in 2026 is $170.2 million.
Mogadishu is only part of a much bigger infrastructure plan.
The Federal Government plans to attract investors to fund an infrastructure development project connecting Mogadishu Port with the rest of the country through three strategic transport corridors:
Mogadishu - Beledweyne - Ethiopian border
Mogadishu - Beledweyne - Galkayo
Mogadishu - Kismayo - Kenyan border
What stands in the way of connecting Mogadishu to Kismayo, and ultimately to the Kenyan border and the wider East African market? The UAE and Kenya.
UAE-based DP World invests in Kenya’s Mombasa Port and sees the development of Kismayo Port as a threat to its interests there. Kenya, meanwhile, has a military presence in the region and supports the continued rule of the state leader who prevents foreign investment, especially Turkish investment, from entering the area.
It is also worth noting that Berbera Port ranks 243rd despite having more developed infrastructure, with its performance held back by separatist policies.
Bosaso Port, meanwhile, is not even in the competition due to UAE control of the port and its deliberate obstruction, effectively giving the advantage to Berbera Port, where the UAE has invested heavily, while efforts are now underway to take control of Garacad Port in Puntland and sideline it as well in favor of Berbera.
🚨 THE TERROR-DEPENDENT OLD ORDER
Through crisis management programs, they manufactured terrorism, established mercenaries, formed epstein media for misinformation, and did all sorts of scandals just to keep the collapsing order going.
ISIS came from USA and Israhell. Al-qaeda came from USA and Israhell. Al-shabaab came from USA and Israhell. Boko haram came from USA and Israhell.
All filthy, corrupt, devilish, name it, came from America and Israhell. 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇦🇪
The changes happening today, and the consequences unfolding, go back to decades of this same system trying to keep a collapsing order alive.
Every September, Americans flood the internet with the phrase “Never forget.”And we say: we will never forget your destruction and bombing of Baghdad. We will never forget the millions of innocent people you killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Yemen. We will never forget Israel’s destruction of Gaza with your weapons. We will never forget the arrests, the night raids, and the terrorizing of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan You talk about two towers. We talk about entire countries that were wiped out, erased, and destroyed and millions of people killed or left homeless.
“Never forget.”
