🇸🇾 The apathy of the al-Sharaa regime has led to the cancellation of a public celebration of Easter. This comes after a weekend full of attacks against Christian homes and shops, while protests are being ignored.
Eyal Yakoby@EYakoby

This morning, the Greek Catholic Patriarchate issued a statement that all Easter festivities are cancelled in Syria following massacres of Christians by Islamists. Notice how the media, podcaster class, and European leaders are completely silent. Why?

This is disgusting. A new low, even for the @NYTimes. It’s been barely a day since Jos was rocked by this horrific attack by radical Islamic terrorists against peaceful Christians, and the Times couldn’t bother to ask for comment before running this anti-Christian hit. Here’s what I would have said if you asked for comment: "How many more Christians need to be slaughtered by Muslims, particularly on holy days, before the failing New York Times acknowledges that Christians in Nigeria are being massacred for their faith in our Lord and Savior? It’s pretty obvious if you aren’t trying to pass your radical political agenda off as news."

SCOOP: Trump's DC Task Force has cleaned out 142 homeless encampments throughout the city + now there are no known encampments between National Park Service units in the D.C. area parks, according to data provided with @DailyCaller. It's been one year since the “Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force” was created. They've made 11,205 arrests of 62 known gang members, 1,956 narcotics subjects, 1,036 subjects of firearms offenses and 30 homicide subjects in the last 365.

Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו
I have instructed the relevant authorities that Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch, be granted full and immediate access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Over the past several days, Iran has repeatedly targeted the holy sites of all three monotheistic religions in Jerusalem with ballistic missiles. In one strike, missile fragments crashed meters from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. To protect worshippers, Israel asked members of all faiths to temporarily abstain from worshipping at the Christian, Muslim and Jewish holy sites in Jerusalem’s Old City. Today, out of special concern for his safety, Cardinal Pizzaballa was asked to refrain from holding mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Even though I understand this concern, as soon as I learned about the incident with Cardinal Pizzaballa, I instructed the authorities to enable the Patriarch to hold services as he wishes.

Your statement repeats official talking points, but it deliberately avoids the fundamental questions that the Somali people deserve answered. Answer this - honestly and without propaganda: How did elite Somali National Army units - Danab, Gorgor, and Haramcad - move from Lower and Middle Shabelle, with full military convoys including trucks, fuel tankers, and heavy equipment, through territories that Al-Shabaab has controlled for nearly 18 years, without any resistance? This is not speculation. It is a factual, operational question that demands a factual answer. If the President’s narrative is true, then explain the operational reality on the ground. Silence or deflection only deepens legitimate suspicion. Second - on finances: You claim that Al-Shabaab’s financial networks have been disrupted and that $76 million has been frozen. So answer clearly: Where are these funds? At which accounts are they held? Under which legal authority were they frozen? Why is there no record - zero - of these funds being deposited into the Treasury Single Account (TSA) at the Central Bank of Somalia in 2023, 2024, or 2025? Public financial management is not a propaganda exercise. It is governed by law, audit trails, and verifiable records. If the funds exist, produce the evidence. If not, stop misleading the public. General statements about “progress” and “liberation” cannot replace accountability, transparency, and truth. No one is undermining national unity by asking questions. What undermines unity is the weaponization of false narratives, the absence of accountability, and the use of propaganda to conceal operational and financial inconsistencies. If the administration stands by its claims, then it should have no difficulty providing clear, verifiable answers. Until then, these statements remain exactly what they appear to be - political messaging designed to obscure, not explain, the truth. @HagiAwesAhmed @HassanSMohamud
Amb. Awes Hagi Yusuf Ahmed@HagiAwesAhmed

Claims that President @HassanSMohamud supports Al-Shabaab are baseless and irresponsible. His administration has led decisive and strategic counterterrorism operations, reclaiming and liberating new territories. Records clearly show that the group’s financial lifelines have been systematically targeted and disrupted, The undeniable truth is that terrorists are facing their worst defeat in history at this time. Security in #Mogadishu is a direct result of strengthened national security institutions and enhanced intelligence cooperation. These allegations undermine national unity and only distract from the country’s progress, electoral processes, and collective efforts to defeat extremism.

U.S. Complicity and Spineless Neutrality Amid Somalia Southwest State Crisis It is alarming that, in response to President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s unprecedented corruption and lawlessness, the U.S. State Department and Department of Defense issued statements dripping with neutrality and moral evasion. Their vague references to “shared security interests” dangerously ignore reality on the ground. According to statements directly received by the Daily Caller from both the U.S. State Department and Department of Defense , a State Department spokesperson acknowledged awareness of bribery allegations and claimed that the Trump administration “maintains a firm zero tolerance policy for waste, theft, or diversion of U.S. resources.” The spokesperson further stated that, while legal decisions on elections and mandates are for Somalis to make, “it is vital Somalia focus on poal-Shabaabconciliation and reducing the internal strife hampering the fight against al-Shabaab and IS IS.” A Pentagon official, also quoted directly by the Daily Caller, stated that “While the Department of War does not comment on operational details, the United States maintains its strategic partnership with the Federal Government of Somalia.  In northern Somalia, AFRICOM, alongside the Federal Government of Somalia and Somali Armed Forces, has conducted airstrikes to degrade ISIS-Somalia's ability to threaten the U.S. Homeland, our forces, and our citizens abroad.  In southern Somalia, AFRICOM, also in close coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, has conducted airstrikes to enable partner forces’ ability to degrade al-Shabaab.  Our strategic approach to countering terrorism in Africa relies on trusted partnerships and collaboration grounded in and through shared security interests.” These statements show dangerous detachment from reality. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, Somalia’s most corrupt leader, is actively conspiring to overthrow the legitimate Southwest State government using elite Somali military units - Danab, Gorgor, Harimacad, and SNA - trained, armed, and funded by the U.S., U.K., European partners, and Turkey. These forces target defenseless citizens already suffering from severe drought, mass displacement, and humanitarian crises. By claiming neutrality while this president collaborates with Al-Shabaab, U.S. officials fail to protect civilians and are complicit in a campaign endangering Somali lives and U.S. per sonnel. The claim that “legal decisions are for Somalis” is a transparent excuse to ignore flagrant human rights violations, constitutional breaches, and Southwest State sovereignty. U.S. forces face predictable risk from the president’s reckless actions - avoidable if leadership prioritized oversight over political convenience. Secretary of State Marco Rubio prioritizes Latin American politics, aggressive actions against Cuba, and Miami-based Venezuela fundraisers over protecting U.S. personnel and Somali civilians. This misplaced focus leaves Southwest State citizens and U.S. forces dangerously exposed. As a U.S. and Somali citizen, I demand the U.S. Government immediately: 1.Cease operational support enabling President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s campaign against Southwest State citizens. 2.Publicly recognize the ongoing illegality and corruption of the Somali Federal Government under Mohamud. 3.Ensure U.S.-trained units are never used for internal political repression or human rights abuses. Failure to act is not negligence; it is complicity in the systematic persecution of Southwest State citizens. The U.S., as a primary supporter of Somali security forces, must prevent the weaponization of its resources for domestic tyranny and civilian suffering. The world is watching. Spineless neutrality is no longer acceptable.  dailycaller.com/2026/03/27/som… @UKinSomalia  @StateDept @HassanSMohamud @SomaliainQatar @UAEinSomalia @ChineseSomalia @US2SOMALIA @EU_in_Somalia @ItalyinSomalia @UNSomalia @TC_MogadisuBE

Horrible take. LOTR is far more symbolic and subtler than 'in your face' about it. That makes it harder to pull off, and it adds endless connections and meanings. Lewis just told you what happened and what it meant.

🇸🇴Somalia's 1991 collapse cost 1M lives; now, a new crisis is splitting the nation again. Officials suggest US-trained elite forces are being turned against citizens, as tax dollars may subsidize bribes to terrorists. Will our multi-billion-dollar investment in stability implode?
