I will always make decisions in the national interest. That’s why we did not join the offensive action against Iran.    Reform and the Tories would’ve rushed us into war without a plan to get us out.

"Israel's fear was that, were Iran to follow North Korea and acquire a nuclear weapon, Israel would be finished as the West's most useful militarised client state in the oil-rich Middle East. Stripped of its ability to terrorise its neighbours, stoke sectarian division and help project US imperial power into the region, Israel would lose its rationale. It would become the ultimate white elephant" ✍️ Opinion by Jonathan Cook middleeasteye.pulse.ly/n9elpntzxl

Somalia elected to the AU Peace & Security Council (2026–2028) today in Addis Ababa. A historic milestone that reflects Somalia’s return to its rightful place in Continental diplomacy. We thank all who supported our candidacy. @_AfricanUnion

Walee Akhiiro Sual baa Jiirta! Leadership is not a privilege granted for personal gain; it is a sacred responsibility entrusted for the protection of human life and dignity. Judged by this standard and its wisdom, the situation in North Eastern Kenya demands an honest conversation, self reflection and urgent action. Today, conditions in the region have deteriorated so severely that even camels, animals that have evolved over time to endure some of the harshest environments on planet earth, are dying from thirst and hunger. If this is the fate of such resilient and adaptable creatures, what hope remains for human beings in the region? SubhanAllah! Orphans go hungry. Widows cry out in silence and in excruciating pain. The sick are denied even the most basic medical care, because of the greed and neglect of those entrusted with leadership. The Holy Qur’an issues a clear warning: those who unjustly consume the wealth of orphans, widows and the general Ummah are consuming fire into their bellies and will be burned in a blazing Hell. The Holy Qur’an further reminds us that all shall be resurrected and called to account for their deeds, and for the suffering they inflicted upon their victims; the Ummah. SubhanAllah ! Power has a way of deceiving its holders into believing that the consequences of their wrongdoing can be avoided. Yet on Yaumul Qiyamah, ill-gotten wealth will offer no refuge and earthly titles will carry no weight. The question will not be how powerful one was, but how just and true they were to the trust bestowed upon them to be exercised rightly and justly on behalf of the Ummah. SubhanAllah! For the leaders of North Eastern Kenya know, beyond any doubt, that accountability does not end in this world. Divine Justice is inevitable and you shall account for the tears of all those whose suffering and pain you have caused! Kuwi lacagtena cuneen, duxuul nareed Allah SWT hauga digo! Even as we demand accountability and continue to firmly hold the leaders of North Eastern Kenya responsible for neglecting the Ummah, we call upon the Government to urgently declare the ongoing drought a national disaster and to mobilize all available resources to save lives. We further appeal to the International Community and Development Partners to step in and provide immediate humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering of the affected communities.

The @UN Security Council stands alone in its authority to act on behalf of all member countries on questions of peace & security. It alone adopts decisions binding on all. No other body or ad-hoc coalition can legally require all countries to comply with decisions on peace & security. Its responsibility is singular. Its obligation is universal. That is why reform is essential. That is why we must act without delay to enhance the representation & effectiveness of the Security Council.

Boycott the FIFA World Cup in the USA. Boycott the FIFA World Cup in the USA. Boycott the FIFA World Cup in the USA. Boycott the FIFA World Cup in the USA. Boycott the FIFA World Cup in the USA. Boycott the FIFA World Cup in the USA. Boycott the FIFA World Cup in the USA.

Jaylani Hussein, the Executive Director of CAIR-MN, testified at our field hearing to lay out how Trump is deliberately going after Somali-Americans. We must continue to stand with communities targeted by Trump and his DHS.

We’re buying Canadian, and we’re building Canadian.

Rent free.

Trump is acting like an international gangster. The Prime Minister has tried appeasing him for 12 months and has failed. It's time we finally stood up to him and united with our European allies to make him back down.

This has to be the over reach moment when Europe stops pretending this guy is normal or can be dealt with normally, and they get their act together and fight back. He is an enemy over Ukraine and an enemy over a NATO country, Denmark, whose defence of Greenland has been weakened not by them but by the USA. He is a narcissist who cares only for himself and his fellow grifters and cultists, and his deeply fragile ego. He is a bully who will respect nobody and nothing that fails to stand up to him. I have many American friends and am deeply sorry it has got to this but while he is leader it is not a place we can support in any way. And given the chaos he is causing home and abroad it might be about time his NBF at @FIFAcom Infantino thought about shifting the World Cup to a country that wants people to feel welcome. 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 among the many who could step in. But for now he just needs to be told DO ONE DONNY

Despite allegations of election misconduct, the public act of voting in Mogadishu represents a breach in what had been treated as a permanent barrier. One can dispute the process, but not the fact that something previously deemed impossible has now occurred. A ceiling broken!
