This Zionist Turkish spy in Somalia has become so unhinged that he’s now trying to silence Somalis about their own country? He claims to be protecting Turkish interests in Somalia 🇸🇴 so my guess is that all his actions are okayed by @MFATurkiye @TC_MogadisuBE

Mohamed, who knows exactly what he's talking about, has responded to this minion whose true expertise lies in marauding national spoils and selling off the country's assets to foreigners without hesitation. He assisted his half-brother (@HassanSMohamud) in plundering the country when he was Minister of Petroleum. See the attached @Moedubad1’s thread. I'd add something here that Max Weber touches on in Politics as a Vocation: about leaders. He says, “they're either living for politics or living from it.” Meaning the former are genuinely passionate and born to lead, even spending their own time wealth in politics, while others are simply in it to accumulate wealth. Your team fits the latter description very well. More to the point, Weber breaks leaders into three types: (1) monarchic leaders, who inherit their position; (2) passionate leaders, who live for politics; and (3) those who make a living and build their wealth from leadership. Your team, and I mean this plainly, falls squarely into the third category.

You are missing the basic argument proposed by Weber. Weber was careful when discussing monopoly of power. He said ‘legitimate force’, not just raw power. Having all the guns doesn’t mean you have rule of law. Plenty of governments control everything yet still abuse their own people. Controlling power and respecting the law are two very different things.

@Deee_luul .@FoxNews and its ilk have no shame. They have been caught red-handed lying; readers have rebutted their lies, stating that everything they uttered was false.

Fox News has always been a joke, but now they’ve turned it into an art form! Quoting a “state” that doesn’t exist and a random account as a source? Do you have any respect for the intelligence of Americans? Who wrote this ? Rachel Wolf?

.@RTErdogan’s runner, @umutcagrisari—now operating as a spy in Mogadishu and managing a Somali minister known as Minister TikTok, a former swimming instructor—grows increasingly frustrated with the stark disparities within Somalia. According to the talking points from @MFATurkiye, which this runner propagates, Turkey claims to be Somalia's primary supporter. Yet, they are blind to two crucial facts that Somalis understand: (1) Somalia expelled the USSR and Cuba when they were its main allies, and previously ousted the United States and the United Kingdom, which sought to dominate it. (2) The relationship between Turkey and Somalia is not rooted in charity, as Turkey often claims; instead, Turkey aims to become a leading power through its involvement in Somalia. My advice to @rterdogan_ar and his team: face reality.

Instead of engaging with pressing global issues, @RTErdogan’s Turkey has regressed and shrunk, now solely fixated on Somalia’s internal politics. Not only the pool guide, but also scholars like @tuncdemirtas are tiredly ranting in a futile attempt to smooth over @HassanSMohamud’s chaotic power grab attempt.

The fat turkey (Swimming guard), YOU still going to court. Get your ass ready. Legal action for me speaking on my own country? Don’t act like being foreign gives you a pass. I’m Somali I’ll say what I want. Sit your loud, donor-fed Turkish ass down.

In recent days, I have been seeing a number of illogical comments about the Gorgor forces in Somalia. Recent claims about Gorgor do not reflect reality. Gorgor is part of the Somali National Army and operates fully under the authority of the Somali state. The fact that these forces are trained by Türkiye is not the main issue. What matters is command and control and that belongs entirely to Somalia. All military forces, including Gorgor, operate under the authority of the Somali government. As far as I know, the Commander-in-Chief of the Somali armed forces is H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, and all operational decisions are made by Somali authorities. No foreign country commands these forces in the field. In short, Gorgor elite forces are trained with the support of Türkiye, but they are commanded by Somalia. In a sovereign and independent state like Somalia, this is the correct way to understand the process.

@Abukar_Arman @dervishconan Would they honestly call a spade a spade without any price to pay? And, to what extent is this so-called global referee really apolitical? Believe you me, their days of being taken seriously are numbered.

Dear Transparency International: I think your ranking process is corrupt to the core. All should accept the ranking of Somalia & South Sudan at #182 (worst), but none should accept Trump's USA & Congress bought & paid for by a foreign agency #AIPAC at #29. Shame on you! #CPI2P25
Transparency International@anticorruption

The #CPI2025 reveals that a lack of global leadership is hurting the fight against corruption. When powerful countries stop enforcing the rules or silence civic groups, it signals that corruption is tolerated. Check our analysis ⬇️ anticorru.pt/3ho
