Bismillah Attending the 1st Regional Ministerial Conference on the East African Community (EAC) Common Higher Education Area held 9-11 September 2025 in Kampala, Uganda.

I welcomed Dr. Abdi Nur Sheikh Mohamed, the Chairperson of the Somali Higher Education Commission, to the embassy. His commission has ambitious and pragmatic plans for both public and private universities. @AbdulnuurSheikh @SomaliainUSA

Many congratulations to Djibouti and H.E. Mohamud Ali Yusuf - @ymahmoudali - on winning the AU Chair election. As global politics enters a new era of uncertainty, multilateralism and international law face many challenges. Wishing you success in leading Africa towards collaboration, peace, and prosperity in these turbulent times. Best wishes.

Had a good discussion with @MvembaDizolele, Director and Senior Fellow at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), on the Into Africa Podcast. Analyzed the challenges facing Somalia’s Third Republic and assessed how government leaders have managed its fragile political landscape since 2022. We discussed Somalia’s strategic importance, given its location and the global implications of its complex challenges, as well as the significance of Washington’s humanitarian and security assistance. I also argued that the winner-takes-all approach, arbitrary changes to the political settlement, restrictions on political space, and disregard for institutions and due process could undermine the Third Republic’s stability.
