Deedimayno Geerida, mana ogolin Gumaysi.
We do not refuse death, and we do not accept colonialism. War songs as members of the army leave Mogadishu to frontlines.

Liban noted that various programs were still underway across Somalia, many of them connected to the ongoing war against al-Shabaab. He observed that ballots and officials had been deployed to cities across Southwest and Galmudug states, supporting initiatives related to the emerging one-person, one-vote electoral system. Meanwhile, in Mogadishu, the new local council had been sworn in despite the fact that elections for the city’s 97 parliamentary seats had yet to be completed, and both the mayor and deputy mayor remained unelected.
Reflecting on the ongoing transition, Liban remarked on the sense of unrest that hovered over the city—few had slept well. Personally, he admitted that he hadn’t exercised that morning. Nevertheless, he managed a brief three-minute session of speech practice and physical movement, intending to gradually extend both routines over time. As he continued to track national developments, he also turned inward, evaluating his own focus and productivity. On this particular morning, he rated himself a “C” for attention and task completion but recognized that awareness of these lapses was itself a step toward improvement. His academic reflections intertwined with his lived experience, revealing how national transformations and personal striving often mirrored one another in rhythm and uncertainty.

Liban has learned, yet repeatedly forgotten, the importance of intentionally designing environments that support his desired behaviors by limiting access to distractions such as social media. He now understands his motivation through the **PINCH** framework, especially the roles of passion and interest in sustaining focus for a neurodivergent, interest‑based nervous system. In practice, he structures his work around activities that align with his passion and genuine interest.
By doing so, Liban seeks to rely less on sheer willpower and more on an environment and task design that naturally elicit deep, sustained attention.

Liban’s Reflections on Self-Discipline and Behavioral Regulation
Liban noted that there had been a lapse in their regular exercise routine. He also observed that he did not wake up at the intended time that morning. Although he had remained awake intermittently during the night—approximately for one or two hours—he acknowledged that this disruption did not fully account for his delayed start. Recognizing the need for greater self-discipline, Liban resolved to turn off his phone during designated sleep hours in order to promote uninterrupted rest and ensure timely awakening. Furthermore, he committed to limiting phone use during the day as well, deliberately creating intentional periods of reflection and focused productivity.

Liban observed an emerging sense of nihilism within his own reflective process—an intellectual stance that habitually affirmed the null hypothesis of each present moment. He noted that this tendency involved a continual assertion of whatever was occurring, without resistance or embellishment. This pattern, he recognized, resonated with a well-known Somali proverb advising one to “always expect the worst,” a cultural expression of cautious realism. Paradoxically, Liban found a form of satisfaction in declaring states of absence—having nothing to discuss, nothing to pursue, or being unable to act—since these negations often preceded the spontaneous emergence of their opposites.

Sustained airstrikes were reported across several regions north of Mogadishu, indicating a potential major breakthrough in the ongoing military campaign against al‑Shabab in the coming days.

The Federal Government of Somalia has deployed the elite Gorgor forces, trained by the Government of Turkeye, from their bases in Mogadishu to various regions in order to intensify operations against Al-Shabaab. This move is aimed at strengthening national security and stability, coming just days after government forces reached the strategic city of Baidoa.

One interpretive model explains Abdishakur through the saying :Wexii xun Xaawo aa leh.
Critical thinking involves a rational examination of both perspectives—the negative and the positive—and requires reasoned judgments supported by evidence indicating whether the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, or vice versa.
Abdirahman Abdishakur@AAbdishakur
President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is celebrating in Baidoa what is being presented as a victory, but in reality, it conceals a profound failure of statehood and leadership. The facts point in the opposite direction: 1.He celebrates after deploying the national army and allied militias to remove the South West administration, forces that, just four years ago, were engaged in fighting against Al-Shabaab. This is not state building; it is the dangerous redirection and politicization of national security forces. 2.He celebrates replacing district, regional, and state leadership of South West State through decree-based appointments an explicit undermining of federalism and local legitimacy. 3.He celebrates a country now operating under two constitutions, an indication of deep constitutional disorder. 4.He celebrates with only 42 days remaining in the mandate of constitutional institutions, while no credible, agreed electoral framework exists pushing the country toward a constitutional vacuum and potential political crisis. 5.He celebrates despite clear warning signs that financial, diplomatic, and military support may not continue beyond his term especially in the absence of a political agreement to manage the transition. 6.He celebrates as his transactional, deal-based political model collapses, leaving no coherent vision, strategy, or roadmap for governance. 7.He celebrates while citizens face a worsening reality: rising cost of living, surging food and fuel prices, and a severe drought devastating livelihoods with an inadequate national response. This is not a moment of achievement—it is a moment of dangerous denial. What is being framed as success is, in truth, a convergence of warning signs: the erosion of federalism, the weakening of constitutional order, the politicization of state institutions, and growing economic and humanitarian distress. If this course continues, Somalia risks sliding into deeper instability marked by institutional breakdown, economic strain, and a political crisis that could surpass the difficulties the country has already endured.

Intentional Practice and Self-Regulation: Liban’s Framework for Sustained Attention and Task Persistence
Liban intends to apply all of his existing knowledge through verbal articulation and modeled behaviors such as casting movement, sustaining focus, and utilizing motivational strategies. He plans to draw upon his passions, interests, sense of novelty, and competitive drive to strengthen concentration and task persistence. Liban aims to intentionally practice these self-regulation techniques to enhance his capacity for sustained attention and effective task completion. He also plans to incorporate structured deadlines and purposeful intention as part of his implementation strategy. Moving forward, Liban will identify the underlying reasons (“why”) guiding each task and provide self-reports on his progress every two hours as part of his accountability plan.

Controlling Access to Control Behavior: Liban’s Approach to Social Media Management”
Liban has observed that contemporary mobile technology, with its capacity to deliver a vast array of information and stimuli at one’s fingertips, can significantly influence self-regulatory behaviors. He has recognized that personal productivity and attention are often compromised when unrestricted access to social media remains available. In response, Liban intends to extend the duration of restrictions on social media and related applications, maintaining access only to functions essential for professional and practical tasks.
This adjustment stems from his understanding that the regulation of behavior is deeply affected by environmental design. While some individuals can exercise consistent self-control in the presence of potential distractions, others benefit from modifying their surroundings to limit access to those stimuli. For Liban, implementing structural constraints on digital access serves as a deliberate environmental strategy to enhance emotional regulation, cognitive focus, and behavioral discipline.
