I commend my friend, President of Somaliland @Abdirahmanirro, on his important decision to establish Somaliland’s Embassy in our eternal capital, Jerusalem. The opening of the embassy in Jerusalem will be another significant step in strengthening relations between our countries and nations. We will work together to implement this decision soon. This will make the Somaliland Embassy the eighth embassy in Jerusalem. Mr. President, we look forward to hosting you soon in Jerusalem – our eternal capital!



Somalia has entered a dangerous and uncertain political moment following the end of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s constitutional term on 15 May. The President argues that constitutional amendments extended the mandate of federal institutions to five years, while many opposition groups and other stakeholders do not accept this interpretation. The country has unfortunately entered uncharted territory and there is urgent need for dialogue, restraint, and compromise in order to avoid instability or confrontation. In the spirit of supporting a peaceful Somali-led solution, I have compiled the following 10 points proposal for consideration: 1. The Federal Government and opposition stakeholders should agree on the appointment of an independent Prime Minister who will not participate in the next presidential election. 3. The Prime Minister should form an inclusive government tasked with managing state affairs and preparing the country for elections through broad political consultation and consensus. 4. An independent electoral committee should be established in agreement with all major stakeholders in order to prepare for voter registration and nationwide elections. 5. Somalia should move toward direct elections based on one person, one vote, with the necessary political, legal, and security preparations agreed collectively. 6. A mutually agreed electoral timetable should be established and implemented transparently. 7. Following parliamentary elections, a new Federal Parliament should elect the President in accordance with the constitutional process. 8. The newly elected institutions should continue work on completing and finalizing the constitution through broad national consultation and consensus. 9. All sides should avoid unilateral actions, inflammatory rhetoric, or any steps that could increase tensions or undermine national stability. 10. Somalia’s friends and international partners should encourage dialogue, compromise, constitutional order, and a peaceful Somali-owned political settlement. Somalia has made important progress over the past two decades despite enormous challenges. This progress must be protected through wisdom, compromise, and inclusive politics. @HassanSMohamud @M_Farmaajo @HESaidADeni @HESharifShAhmed @RTErdogan @HakanFidan














78 years of ongoing Nakba. 78 years of erasure. Against all odds, we remain on our land and the land of our ancestors. Return is our right. Freedom is our destiny. On May 15, join the Palestinian people in commemorating the Nakba. #NAKBA78 🎥 PAL Global Echo

BREAKING: Talks mediated by U.S. and British diplomats between Somali leaders resumed in Mogadishu’s Halane compound over Somalia’s electoral dispute. According to sources, the opposition-aligned “Future Council” bloc urged the Federal Government to acknowledge that its mandate has expired and abandon plans for a one-person, one-vote election, instead negotiating an expanded indirect electoral model. Federal leaders insist their term still has one year remaining under the unilateral amended constitution and argue preparations for nationwide direct elections are already underway. The outcome of the talks is expected later today.


✍️ Cansu Çamlıbel yazdı: 📌 Duyduğum kadarıyla Ankara süreci ilerletip işi “önce yasa mı, tespit mi” ikileminden kurtarmak için iki sürecin eşzamanlı işletilebileceği yeni bir formül üzerinde çalışıyormuş. 📌 Yasa kapsamına girmesi muhtemel toplam PKK’lı sayısının 18 bin civarında. Ancak devlet tarafının 200 üst düzey PKK’lıyı bu yasa kapsamına almak istemediğini biliyoruz. Öcalan ve Kandil için ise en kritik nokta tam da burası; lider kadronun belli bir takvimle Türkiye’ye gelip demokratik siyasette boy gösterebilmeleri t24.com.tr/yazarlar/cansu… @cansucamlibel
