The people of Sool and Sanaag have the right of self determination. Let them decide their fate peacefully. Those who profess to love peace must know that “Peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved by understanding” Einstein
To Somaliland Authorities, stop the carnage in Laas Anod. Let the people of Sool live in peace and decide their destiny. It is the right and the democratic thing to do. Peace Now!

The EAC Head of States Summit was held in Bujumbura, Burundi on May 31st 2023. The Head of States deliberated & adopted the verification report of the FRS. This is a testament that Somalia is ready to join the EAC. The summit instructed negotiations to commence.
This is a major achievement. Thanks to all those who paid for it and contributed to the realisation of the project

Today I met with Hon Deng Alor Kuol, Minister of EAC from South Sudan, we discussed the upcoming EAC summit. We had meeting of minds on many mutual issues and Somalia’s expected accession to the EAC. We decided to explore areas of common interest between Somalia and Sudan.
To those who wrote abt murder in Mog, why we are not saying the name(s) of those who committed the heinous crime against the late brother Ahmed Salat or their clan affiliation since we keep talking about the late Ahmed’s clan. Who said he is from minority clan? Is there census?
Today in Juba, SS, I was received by FM Hon Deng Dau. We have robust discussions, including Somalia’s application to the EAC. Min Deng assured me the support of SS. The EAC Min Hon Alor was out of the country. We will meet soon.

Following a fruitful discussion with EAC Secretary General today, we agreed on the way forward for Somalia’s admission to the EAC, starting with a visit of a delegation from the Secretariat and expert representatives from member states to Mogadishu between Jan 22nd - Feb 3rd.
Somalia is back and on the move. The HIPC debt forgiveness and economic reform that is underway is the first step for poverty reduction and investment for social services

We fail to correct our dark history, we are not true to our Islamic faith and we despise our fellow Muslims and Somali brothers and sisters. Allah does not like Ugly and this is Ugly. We should all ask forgiveness and listen to the brother.

FALSE, the Constitution of each partner state supersedes the Treaty, Protocols, and the agreed rules and regulations of the EAC. The Treaty will not infringe, amend, change in any way or form the Constitution of any partner state, including the Somali provisional constitution.
Lascaanod is crying for help. The assassinations must stop and culprits must face the law. Killing residents who are expressing their outrage peacefully must stop too. Those who profess to rule Lascaanod are responsible for the security of its residents. NO MORE KILLINGs
Today I made a courtesy call to Mohmed Abdiker regional director for East and Horn of Africa IOM. We discussed the Somali application to EAC and exchange ideas about regional integration and movement of people.

stop dragging the congresswoman into the chaotic Somali politics. She calls spade a spade on many issues around the world. Ilhan cares for the underdog. She is a high achiever & role model for African women & girls. Stop the smear campaign. Right on sister.
Prof/ Brother, this case is the hands of the most powerful and successful law firm in the world about Maritime cases “foleyhoag” let us not politicise it. Peace now!
Let the judiciary branch of the government and the legal team lead Somalia's maritime case at the ICJ. Politicians should focus on resolving the political crises.
My brother in law and my friend Capt Ofleh passed away this morning in Kampala. Today is painful day for my family especially my sister Kamar and my nieces and nephews. May Allah take him to Jannah. Ina lilahi wa Ina Ilaahi Rajucuun.
Mudane/Brother Hussein Elabeh was killed in Mogadishu today. He was a statesman, a great Somali, a unifier and incredible human being. He served Somalia with honor and integrity. May Allah take him to Jannah. He was my mentor and Somalia lost a great son. RIP

To the Somaliland authorities and their Cabal learn something from your struggles and the struggle of the people of Lasanood. Awadal people have the right to demand Justice and self determination. Always it is better to talk then to shoot. Peace Now ✌️
Congratulations to the Somali PM Hon Mohamed Robleh having the courage to choose reconciliation over confrontation and peace over war. The people of Banadir region deserve to live in peace and harmony.
Somalia is ready to contribute to the regional integration, prosperity and people to people understanding. President HSM’s vision of Somalia at peace with the world starts with our region.

The situation in Las Anod is a reminder of tragedies of past time. Shelling civilians is not the answer. We Somalis know, no winner will come out of this. Self determination of any group can’t be denied. Peace Now.
The delegation will verify Somalia’s readiness to join the Community. The verification mission is a critical step toward the admission of Somalia to the EAC. I am confident that Somalia will be admitted to EAC in 2023

The untimely death of Ambassador Abdiqani Mohamed Wacaeys is a major lost to Somalia. He was one of the most decent men I have ever met. He was honest, morally upright, and ethically correct and a great diplomat. He can’t be replaced. May Allah take him to Jannah.
Today is sad day for all Somalis everywhere. One of our biggest voice, our conscious, our poet and healer passed away. Brother Hadrawi will be missed and his shoes will be difficult to fill. May Allah invite him to Janneh. Rest In Power my brother 😅
I heard the news of the death of Hon Ismail Hurreh Buba in Istanbul. I have known him over 40 years he was a friend, mentor& a fellow Somali unionist from Hargeisa & Borama. Ismail had a life full of love & laughter. He was an accomplished leader. May Allah invite him to Jannah.
@FarahMaalimM
Brother Farah to follow your logic then there is ethnicity called Itali??? or Mali?? We are Somalis regardless of citizenship. You are Somali Kenyan or Kenyan Somali or just Kenyan from Somali origin.
Former Somali Ambassador to the UN in New York former Under Secretary Secretary General for Decolonization Abdirahman Abby Farah passed away in New York. He served Somalia, Africa and the World with Passion. May Alah bless him and give him a place in Janah.
Ina lillahi wa Ina ilahy rajicun. My sincere condolence to the family of Hon Hassan Abshir, Especially, Amb Abshir and his brother Capt Mahad. Hassan Abshir served Somalia and Somalis with dignity and statesmanship. May Allah open the doors of Jannah. RIP
I am appalled by the lack of protection of our leaders. Did we forget we are in a war? My heart goes for the families of those who lost their love ones and those who were wounded. We will never surrender to intimidation and to assassinations. Viva Somalia
Equal representation in the decision and policy making is hallmark for societies that care about its all citizens. It is an aberration not to pass such a bill by Parliament and confirms a continuation of all Somalis are not equal under the law. DO IT NOW & DO It 4 BETTER SOMALIA
BREAKING: There's a bill in front of parliament that's going to be debated in the coming days, the bill proposes 31 extra parliamentarians for the minorities ending the viscous clan political dominance of 4.5 and making a full 5.
-Very close sources confirm
#EqualRepresentation
To FGS,FMS & oppo leaders get back to business of the Somali people; organise an inclusive and fair elections. It should be a Somali driven process to resolve all the issues. No need for the IC calls. We must resolve our problems. Somalis deserves better.
The garbage found inside a dead whale that washed ashore in Indonesia included 115 plastic cups, four plastic bottles, 25 plastic bags and two pairs of flip-flops.
BREAKING: Somali govt announces the death of singer Khadija Abdullahi Dalays in Canada this morning, she was 82. Delays was one of the first Somali artists to sign on a national radio.
My Somali brothers pay attention. Respect for our sisters and women everywhere is paramount. It is the good & the right thing to do as well as to be a good Muslim in-front of Allah.

The 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Dignity Justice for all of Us.
Article 1: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
My memory Haji Abdiwarba is when I was working for UNDP Somalia. Marxun Hon Abdiwaraba & Amb Qaiba called me for a meeting in Hargeisa. They ask me to fix the Gurti house and I did my best to do what they asked me. Hon Abdiwaraba was special leader. Somalis will miss him. RIP
Last time I saw him was in Hargeisa we collaborated with Renaissance Center. I was impressed with his vision. He is my friend and I will miss him. RIP my brother. May Allah take you to Janneh.
Very sad to learn of the passing of Dr Mohammed-Rashid Sheikh Hassan. He was an archivist, journalist, author, scholar and a truly genuine, decent person. Dr Mohammed-Rashid died in Hargeisa on Thursday evening. My condolences to his family and friends.
The agreement between Somalia and Kenya is a good thing for both countries. Prez Mohamed & Prez Uhuru exhibited courage and leadership. As they say “politics is the art of the possible”. Right On🇰🇪🇸🇴
What happened in Mogadishu two days ago is very UGLy. Allah doesn’t like UGLy. We will never surrender to the UGLY forces and peace loving Somalis will win. May Allah Bless Is All!
This is what President Paul Kagame said at the Tutsi genocide memorial.
“If you have to choose to be right or be kind, I hope you choose to be kind because you’ll always be right when you choose to be kind” it is a message Somalis can use.
Today 29 years since the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. I participated the Commemoration of this sorrowful day by the invitation of FM Biruta President Kagame & a survivor of the genocide gave a moving speeches at the memorial.The theme is Remember-Unite-Renew. Viva Rwanda

The EU modality applies to the Partner State of EAC. I challenge the naysayers to show how Somalia or any Partner State will loose its sovereignty. Fear mongering and bad mouthing FRS leaders on social media will not deter Somalia’s progress to join the EAC and beyond 🇸🇴
Just a thought: Many of you pointed out the late Ahmed was from a minority clan please share with all Somalis the census that made the Bantu clan a minority. We are all aware they are discriminated against because of their physical features. Shame!
Ina lillahi wa inillahi rajicun. He had a great life, he was a patriot, unionist and he severed his country with pride and humility. Condolences to his wife Kamar, his sons Harbi & Ayanle his daughters Hon Kadra and Nora and many grand children. May he rest in Janneh. Ameen
American greatness & ingenuity is the total effort of Black, Brown, Yellow and white people. Learn little bit more about Haitian contribution. A timely article from WAPO.

Thank you Nageeye. Must listen poetry. It reflects the complex and sad state of the Somali affairs. May be all of us can learn something from Nageeye and his provocative ideas. Somali Hanolatou!

Hanoolato Somalia. Our uncle Hagi Ibrahim Noor Jama made history as one of the four who signed the independence of Somaliland from the British and worked hard for the unity of Somalia on July first 1960.
This is wrong. Please help those who can so justice can be served. Young bright Somali girls should be supported. As they say “mind is a trouble thing to waste”
The New Somali Embassy in Washington DC. Somalia at a stage today where we can have permanent spaces in biggest capitals of the world. Welcome to the new 🇸🇴
Las Anod shows the moral bankruptcy of the perpetrators of this crime. We will not accept from neighbouring countries and we shouldn’t accept from other Somalis. The government of Somaliland should own this and do the right thing. Allah doesn’t like ugly & this is ugly and wrong.
The story of an African Slave Omar Ibn Said, this is a small window of the tragedy of the slave trade. Africans being shipped to the Americas as commodities. Shameful and Sad!
Meet Omar Ibn Said, a writer & Muslim scholar from Senegal who was forced into slavery in the U.S. around 1807. His autobiography, written in Arabic, is now located in the Library of Congress. What a priceless treasure. A remarkable story of perseverance!
This is in support of all migrants that are stranded in Libya & elsewhere on the occasion of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 4 states: No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.
