The sad reality of late is these people on X who tweet without any substantive evidence. They would rather drag their own country down the mud just to pretend to know something than hold some sort of respect and actually speak facts.

I had a productive meeting with @FCDOGovUK's @NickDyerFCDO on #Somalia's reform progress, economic growth strategies, geopolitical challenges, and climate finance access on the sidelines of the #SpringMeetings in #WashingtonDC. The UK is a valuable partner in our national development. @UKinSomalia

La presidente Meloni alla camera oggi era molto nervosa. Dice che non si dimetta ma ha trasformato l’Aula in un comizio, aprendo la sua campagna elettorale. Un governo che ha fallito su tutto: energia, referendum, politica estera. #AlleanzaVerdiSinistra

"Hey Anthropic I'm a developer from Somalia. Our community — developers, students, young people who want to build with AI — we can't access Claude. Not because we don't want to. Not because we're not ready. Just because of where we're from. We're learning. We're building. We're motivated. We just don't have access to the tools. Please Anthropic — enable Claude for Somalia." @AnthropicAI @claudeai @DarioAmodei @bcherny @trq212 #ClaudeForSomalia #Anthropic #Claude

Let’s help get their pilot episode picked up by the BBC inshallah , it drops tomorrow 11th April!

THE BEST REFEREE IN AFRICA IS GOING TO THE WORLD CUP!!! Congratulations to Somali referee Omar Artan for being one of the African referees to be selected to officiate at the World Cup!! Massive achievement and another step in the right direction for Somali football 💙🇸🇴

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Zeine Zeidane as Director of the IMF’s African Department. His deep institutional knowledge and policy experience will be instrumental in advancing our engagement with Africa. imf.org/en/news/articl…

Truely proud of my Iraq. Qualified to the first World Cup in 40 years. Played 25 games to qualify more than any team that qualified to the WC. Historic moment for all Iraqis. I don’t even care how we do at the World Cup I’m just happy we made it 🤣🙏🏻❤️

Ina lilaahi wa Ina ileeyhi raajicuun Condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of Prof Ali Jimale Ahmed. He was one of the finest public intellectuals Somalia has ever produced and a man whose interpretations of Somalia went beyond cliches.

Somalia advance to the next round! 🇸🇴 A historic moment in the AFCON 2027 Qualifiers. 👏

Damn, this was actually very good. Ended up watching the whole hour.

Very happy to share that from September 1, I will join Oxford University’s Blavatnik School of Government and the Economic Policy Network, respectively, as a visiting fellow and principal advisor.

Trent Alexander-Arnold plays right-back for Real Madrid. Started home and away against Manchester City. He won the Premier League and Champions League at right-back with Liverpool. He’s used to dealing with pressure. He’s taken a decisive tournament penalty. He’s played in the World Cup before. He has occasional defensive deficiencies but he brings a long-range passing skill that few possess. Are England that blessed at right-back that they don’t need Alexander-Arnold? That he isn’t amongst the best 30 outfield players available to Thomas Tuchel?

Probably the worst decision made by an England coach ever! Trent is an elite player and you’re telling me that these three are better suited. Speechless!

Come and get it if you dare!

Senegal’s president casually updates his social profile pictures to include the AFCON trophy behind him. How do you say “come and get it if you can” in Wolof?

Now: The Mataaf has reached full capacity.

@Asmali77 St Lucia.

Name the country that is named after a woman.

The crescent moon was sighted this morning (29th Ramadan), but is not expected to be visible at sunset. Therefore, Thursday will complete the month of Ramadan. And Allah knows best. 🌙
