Edward Said on Faiz Sahab:
“The three of us sat in a dingy Beirut restaurant late one night, while Faiz Ahmad Faiz recited poems. After a time, he and Eqbal stopped translating his verses for my benefit, but as the night wore on it did not matter. What I watched required no translation: it was an enactment of homecoming expressed through defiance and loss, as if to say, “Zia, we are here.”

I am proud to have been the first to translate both men into Somali: Edward Said’s Representations of the Intellectual and Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s The Artist’s Role in a Developing Country are now available in Somali.

#Somaliland’s “sovereignty is not a legal inheritance from 1960.. Rather, its claim is empirical, built over three decades of relative peace, consistent democratic transitions and internal cohesion following a catastrophic civil war.” A must-read piece:👇

Turkey-Somalia ties resemble suzerainty. Turkey now controls air(ports), gas exploration, defense, airspace, fishery.
This mirrors when Ottoman suzerains (via Egypt) ultimately enabled Brits to colonise Somaliland.
History warns such deals can lead to greater foreign dominance.

The 🇺🇸 is deeply concerned by reports that Federal Government of Somalia officials have destroyed a US-funded World Food Programme (WFP) warehouse and illegally seized 76 metric tons of donor-funded food aid for vulnerable Somalis. The Trump Administration has a zero-tolerance policy for waste, theft, and diversion of life-saving assistance.
