Our Executive Director Siyad Jimale Amin (@SiyadJimale) paid a courtesy call on Cabinet Secretary for Health @HonAdenDuale on Saturday.

Earlier today, I paid a courtesy call on the Cabinet Secretary for Health, @HonAdenDuale at his office. I deeply appreciate the time he took and the warm, cordial reception I received.

EARLIER: Cabinet Secretary for Health Aden Duale (left) receives a courtesy call from Siyad Jimale, Executive Director of @HARNPolicy. The Horizon Analysts and Researchers Network (HARN) is an independent non-profit research organization focused on policy analysis and advocacy, especially on issues affecting Northern Kenya and ASAL regions.

In a powerful new book that refuses to shy away from uncomfortable truths, author Abdinoor Maalim (popularly known as Samir) has unveiled the complex soul of Mandera County through his debut work, “The Beautiful Ugly Village – Mandera”. Set for release in April, the book offers a haunting yet deeply hopeful depiction of life in the arid frontier of northern Kenya. Under the scorching sun, amid shifting sands and fragile peace, the people of Mandera navigate a world shaped by inter-clan conflicts, generational mistrust and the relentless cruelty of drought. Maalim does not romanticize or sensationalize; instead, he presents an unflinching account drawn from lived experience. The narrative lays bare the human cost of recurring violence. Innocent lives are lost to bullets fired over land and lineage, while cycles of revenge tear families apart. Mothers bear the silent grief of burying their sons and children grow up internalizing the sound of gunshots long before they learn to dream. The book confronts the harsh environmental realities too — livestock collapsing in the dust, wells drying into silence and entire communities forced to choose between hunger and dwindling hope. Yet, “The Beautiful Ugly Village” is far from a tale of despair. In the same breath, it celebrates the extraordinary strength and humanity that define the region. Maalim highlights the deep loyalty that binds neighbors during crisis, the unity forged in hardship and the remarkable generosity extended even when families have almost nothing left. He captures moments of laughter that survive war, love that endures drought and a collective spirit that refuses to surrender to adversity.

So Lawyer @ahmednasirlaw was making noise alongside @rigathi just because the Somali leaders failed to hire him? Somebody hire him, he wailed enough.

REVEALED: @ahmednasirlaw was wailing in X (Formerly Tweeter) just because no Somali leader hired him for legal representation— The online rage was part of the skills perfected by the Senior Counsel to extort money every-time he feels broke and ignored.

BLAST FROM THE PAST: Lawyer @ahmednasirlaw has no relevance in the Somali community beyond JKL, and the High Court where he is wheeling and dealing-he has no home and no constituency in Northeastern region that is why he makes all the noise here in Nairobi—MP Farah Maalim
