Unwaveringly advocating for nothing less than robust democracy, unwavering stability, and unprecedented development in the remarkable country of Somaliland.





🇮🇱🇸🇴 Israel gave Somaliland something it hasn't had in 35 years: a passport that works somewhere. 1st country to recognize it, and 1st stamp in the book. For Somaliland, it's a lifeline. For Israel, it's a strategic foothold in the Horn of Africa, right at the entrance to the Red Sea. The problem: the Arab League is furious, Somalia sees it as a provocation, and the African Union has a strict no-separatist-recognition policy it cannot afford to ignore. Somaliland didn't ask to become a piece in someone else's chess game. But that's exactly what this is. Source: New Lines Magazine / Writers: Lucas, Oliver



#BREAKING 🚨 Civil war erupts in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu! Heavy clashes have engulfed the Failed state once again exposing the fragility of Somalia’s internationally backed political settlement. Despite years of international intervention & billions in assistance, deadly fighting has broken out between forces aligned with the federal government whose provisional mandate has expired and opposition groups who seek power. Reports indicate that heavy weapons, including equipment reportedly supplied by allies such as Türkiye and Egypt, are being deployed by forces aligned with the President as fighting intensifies. The latest violence raises serious questions about the sustainability of Somalia’s political model & the effectiveness of continued international efforts to hold it together.


Explored the stunning rock art at Laas Geel on Tuesday, cave paintings dating back thousands of years. Grateful for the opportunity to see this incredible piece of African history that showcases Somaliland's rich archaeological heritage.










#BREAKING 🧵 The skyscrapers #Mogadishu built during a decade of peace are now battlefields. 10 years of construction. Billions in investment. Could be gone in days. This isn't just a security crisis. This is a generation of Somali wealth being destroyed floor by floor
