Erdogan: “We do not have a religion called 'Sunni, Shiite.' We have one religion, and that is Islam.”

Trump accused of Epstein 'cover up' by Hillary Clinton. The president has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in connection with the convicted sex offender. 🎧 #GlobalNewsPod bbc.in/46cGIPV

@TiborPNagyJr If we’re too ‘unstable’ to trust, then keep your recognition, we didn’t ask for it. 🇸🇴 will rise with or without your approval.

In order denying entry of Somalis to US Prez Trump says: "Somalia lacks a competent or cooperative central authority for issuing passports or civil documents...and lacks command and control of its territory.." So why the heck do we recognize such a Govt?! whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

@AbdisalamAato Riyooyin badan bay burburiyeen 1991; kuwa qaran, mid qoys iyo kuwa qofeedba. Waa qasaare na wada taabtay. Cashar inagu fian waa nasoo maray . #Somalia .

KU: DHALLINYARADA SOOMAALIYA KU NOOL 1991dii markuu dalku burburay waxaan dhiganayay Bartamaha high school, waxaan ku jiray imtaxaan maalintii axadda ahayd ee burburkii ugu dambeeyay bilowday. Waxaa masuul ka ahaa niman kursi madaxweyne iska dhacsanayay laakiin aniga iyo intii aan isku da'da ahayn iyo intii iga yaraydba waxaa nalaka burburiyay mustaqbal noo iftiimayay iyo nolol xasilloon. Guryaheeennii waan ka qaxnay, waalidiinteen, walaalaheen iyo saaxiibadeen qaarna waa la dilay qaarna wey kala lumeen. Ilaa iyo maanta saaxiibkay Sharmaarke oo aan isku miis imtaxaanka isla fadhinnay inuu nool yahay iyo inuu dhintay makala aqaan. Noloshaydii dhallinyaronimo masoo qaadan oo waxaa ii badashay gaajo, dhaxan, welwel, xero qaxooti oo uu dhuudhi lugahayga galay iyo malaria qabriga agtiisa i geysay iyadoo aan aabe, hooyo iyo walaal toonna agtayda joogin. Qaxaas wuxuu badalay dabeecaddaydii, qaab nololeedkaygii weligayna ku noqon maayo sidaan ahaa mana ka tirtiri karo dilkii aan markhaatiga ka ahaa ee hortayda ka dhacay 1992 magaalada Garowe ee adeeraday ay isku dileen, ma hilmaami karo intaan dhimasho, qaxootinimo iyo gaajo soo arkay mana ihi qofkii aan ahaan lahaa haduusan burburkaas dhicin. Maanta niman kursi dhacsanaya yaysan idinka burburin iftiinka idiin soo baxaya iyo kabashadan yarta ah ee u baahan in lawada dhiso oo aan u baahnayn in la dumiyo mar kale. Waxaan idiin ahay tusaale soo jabay, khasaaray oo aan mustaqbalkiisii loo badbaadin. Yaan laydinka dumin, YAAN laydinku dumin iyadoo idinka loo isticmaalayo. Waxaan soo maray Ilaahay idiinkama baryeen ee aan wada badbaadino, dhisno, wax ku darno oo toosinno. #TaloCaatoAh

@MoDugoow A truly inspiring engagement! The Somalis in Türkiye continues to shine as a beacon of hope, intellect, and resilience. Grateful for the leadership of our youth and their unwavering commitment to Somalia’s future.

I was greatly honored to connect and engage with our vibrant Somali diaspora in Istanbul, an inspiring community comprised of students and other active members of the Somali society in Türkiye. It was a profoundly enriching experience, marked by a productive exchange of ideas, insights, and shared aspirations for our homeland. Our gathering, which was thoughtfully organized and led by the leadership of the Somali Students Association in Türkiye along with several dedicated members of the wider Somali community, left a lasting impression on me. I was deeply moved by the caliber of the participants, their honesty, courage, intellectual rigor, and the depth of their contributions. The thought-provoking questions they raised spoke volumes about their pride in our heritage and their forward looking vision for Somalia’s future. As is customary when Somalis gather outside of Somalia, the meeting offered us a meaningful opportunity to reconnect, reaffirm our shared identity, and discuss the progress taking place back home. It also allowed us to challenge and dismantle the false narratives that are sometimes propagated about our country. I took this occasion, as part of our official exchange visit to Türkiye, to hold a public discourse on the current state of affairs in Somalia, with a particular focus on the progress we have made across various fronts, be it in governance, security, development, or diplomacy. During the interaction, I provided updates on key government policies and national priorities. I also emphasized the importance of the role each member of our diaspora plays as a representative and ambassador of Somalia. Their presence in countries like Türkiye is not just a personal journey of education or opportunity, it is also a national asset. Our diaspora holds immense potential to strengthen our international ties, promote the true image of our country, and contribute meaningfully to our development goals. One of the most powerful aspects of our engagement was the mutual recognition of the indispensable role young people play in shaping Somalia’s political landscape and future. I witnessed firsthand the readiness, energy, and sense of responsibility among our youth. Their engagement is not only admirable but essential if we are to build a stable, prosperous, and inclusive Somalia. Looking ahead, I am committed to continuing these kinds of interactions with Somali youth wherever they are because they remain indispensable pillars of our nation’s resilience, tenacity, and boundless potential. Whether at home or abroad, their hard work and hospitality stand as a testament to the enduring spirit of our people. My heartfelt thanks go to the leadership of the Somali Students Association in Istanbul for making this engagement possible. May Allah grant you continued success in your educational and professional pursuits. Your dedication and leadership give us hope for a brighter future. #Somalia #Turkiye

A national dialogue that doesn’t address governance, federalism, and inclusion is just noise. These are the roots of fragility, not symptoms. This thread nails it.

@AnalystSomalia @HassanSMohamud This is the conversation Somalia needs. No peace or unity without honest reckoning. Governance failure—not just terrorism or secession—is the real threat. #Somalia

Somalia’s National Dialogue Must Begin with a Reckoning with Reality In June, President @HassanSMohamud’s office issued Somalia’s first-ever National Security Threat Assessment, later approved by the Cabinet. It identified eight existential threats to Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, the top three being terrorism, secession, and state fragility. While the assessment correctly named these threats, it ignored their root cause: the absence of ethical, visionary leadership and good governance. Somalia is not weak because of terrorism or secession — it is weak because its leaders prioritize power over state-building. Fragility is not accidental; it is the result of corruption, hoarded power, and institutions that exist in name only. Secession thrives because Mogadishu has failed for three decades to engage Somaliland meaningfully, while Al Shabaab gains ground by exploiting political failures and a state lacking legitimacy. No military operation, foreign deal, or diplomatic maneuver will save Somalia if the proposed presidential dialogue does not confront governance failures at the root of all these issues. For three decades, Somaliland has functioned as a de facto polity, with its own governance, currency, and elections. Ninety percent of its population has never lived under Somali rule, making secession a lived reality, not just a legal debate. External forces are now actively pushing for recognition, and in response, HSM secretly offered the U.S. “operational control” of Gulf of Aden ports to counter these pressures. This alone shows how real the threat of dismemberment has become. Somalis cannot refuse to engage Somaliland while panicking about its departure. At the same time, Somaliland’s leaders must question who truly benefits from breaking Somalia apart. The two occasions when ‘recognition’ was openly discussed came with a poison pill that would have compromised the viability of any future Somaliland state. First, Ethiopia’s recognition-for-sea swap MoU threatened to render Berbera and Djibouti ports —Somaliland’s and Djibouti’s economic lifelines — obsolete. Now, recognition is tied to resettling 200,000 expelled Palestinians in Somaliland, a proposition that is problematic for host of reasons. FGS and FMS leaders cannot escape accountability for failing to tether the fractured country. When Somaliland’s new leadership — led by a former Somali diplomat— took office, FGS should have seized the opportunity for dialogue. Instead, HSM escalated tensions, imposing phantom taxes on Berbera exports and secretly offering Trump control of Somaliland’s ports. Puntland, long skeptical of Mogadishu’s centralization, was ignored until it fully severed ties. Meanwhile, FGS and Jubaland remain at odds, defined by military standoffs. Prez HSM campaigned on “Somalis at peace with one another,” yet he has governed as if Somalia were a unitary state, sidelining even Mogadishu-based opposition and reducing national politics to a standstill. If the president’s dialogue is to have any meaning, it must focus on three immediate priorities: 1.Somaliland must be engaged before recognition becomes irreversible. Offering Trump or any foreign power control over Somaliland ports will not keep the country together — only a serious political settlement can. 2.Governance and accountability must be restored. FGS & FMS leaders have ruled through mandate extensions, rigged elections, and unchecked executive power. Federalism exists in name only, as Mogadishu pressures weaker FMS while outsourcing control of stronger ones to external forces. 3.The war against Al Shabaab has stalled. Terrorists are emboldened while politicians remain fixated on cutting deals. The Somali army is exhausted and unhappy by politicians playing games while they fight & die. Somalia’s political leaders stand at a crossroads: confront the crises with real solutions / hard choices, or keep playing reckless games until the state collapses beneath them.

A wise general loses the war not by the strength of the enemy, but by the poison of his own table #Somalia

#RamadanMubarak! 🌙 May this holy month bring peace, blessings, and joy to your heart and home. May Allah guide our leaders to the right path, Grant them wisdom to make just decisions, Compassion to serve with integrity, And humility to lead with faith and righteousness.

#Trump’s halt on foreign aid is wake-up call for #Africa. While his policies may be divisive, the lesson is clear: we must rely on ourselves, strengthen our systems and work tirelessly to sustain our livelihoods. It’s time to be authentic and build a self-reliant future. #Somalia

@DemirciEbuzer Nairobi’s unity and optimism are truly inspiring. Grateful for the warmth, opportunities, and shared progress here. So proud to see our Somali community thriving , keeping their culture alive while contributing to Kenya’s growth.

My visit to Nairobi was a compelling affirmation of its prominence, not only as Kenya’s capital but as a vital economic, political, and intellectual powerhouse in Africa. A city that is breathtaking in its natural beauty, refreshing in its climate, and remarkably open to the world. Here, diverse cultures and communities coexist in peace, embodying the spirit of unity and progress. I was received with immense warmth, and reconnecting with old friends while forging new bonds was an invaluable experience. Much like its high altitude, Nairobi carries an uplifting energy, a spirit of optimism that is impossible to ignore. This visit was yet another reminder of Africa’s boundless potential and the continent’s remarkable transformation. The future of Africa lies in the hands of its people—driven by determination, wisdom, and a shared commitment to building a brighter tomorrow. The presence of the Somalis in Kenya is particularly striking. Seeing a community that has preserved its identity while seamlessly integrating into the economic and social fabric of the city is truly inspiring. Their resilience and success are proof of what can be accomplished through stability and opportunity. 🇰🇪
