“Inkastoon sabool ahay
Haddana waan sarriigtaa
Sacabbada ma hoorsado
Saaxiib nimaan nahay
Cadowgayga lama simo
Soomaali baan ahay”
Though impoverished I am
Yet my hardships I endure
And my palms I do not extend
A man with whom I am friends
With my enemy I do not rival
I am Somali
Eid Mubarak from this pearl on the Indian Ocean called Mogadishu! Fresh air, fresh food,& priceless views! With investment and effort, places like these could easily outmatch million dollar resorts worldwide!

#Somalia
has a President, two houses of parliament, an executive branch,& an overarching constitution. It is these entities alone that have any legitimate say in matters.
Calling for “the int’l community” to settle our disputes is an affront to our sovereignty! Plain & simple.
In a captivating breeze under a mango tree by the River Nile, I wonder how people in South Sudan &Somalia could still suffer from hunger &malnutrition, with this wealth of natural conditions.
Where does the billions of Aid $ go if it doesn’t build up resources & infrastructure?!

Drowned in shock and disbelief at the news of Almas’s passing. However briefly I knew her, she touched my life very deeply &encouraged me to move back to Somalia. I can’t imagine how her family is feeling at the moment.. my heart is aching!..

Despite being in the middle of a pandemic, twitter has become a center for i-arkaay, i-maqlaay for Somali politicians with no substance!

Yes we need better schools &hospitals, yes we need better roads &ports, but we also need our history!
“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” &we all know what happens to that tree!

Somalia in its heyday stood out on the world stage as a formidable voice advocating for peace and justice in a post colonial era. In this piece, I briefly look back at Somalia’s role in supporting the restoration of China’s seat at the UN.
Somalia's youth are a testament to resilience. Despite growing up without access to widespread public services, they've shown remarkable civic awareness and a profound love for their nation. Their patriotism shines bright

So, while you’re all busy massaging your egos & flexing your muscle, you’re making a mockery of the hard work & sacrifices made by people in Somalia, who created this semblance of peace & stability with their sweat & tears. Shame on you for threatening progress out of all things!

This is a sad big fail!
Somalia & Pakistan—two countries blessed with many resources, yet haunted by suffering.
While millions are effected by extreme droughts in🇸🇴, millions more are effected by extreme floods in 🇵🇰.
Both are cursed to bear the brunt of a problem they didn’t cause; Climate Change!
While a media showdown is taking place between our two top figures,
thousands of Somali kids are still homeless,
millions of Somali families don’t know what they’ll feed their kids tomorrow,
and many more are being widowed and orphaned.

In Somalia,

We yearn for development.
Our children deserve a better future!
We can no longer tolerate individualistic/egotistical agendas hampering progress.
Politicians, please put national interests first & let us move forward!
The cost of instability& insecurity in our capital is unbearable. Every life lost is regrettable, but the loss of thinkers, intellectuals and journalists speaking the truth is a blatant attack on the fabric of what holds our society together. May Allah have mercy on all of us!

Somalia will not tolerate violations against its unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. Our government and our people stand behind our president H.E. Dr

If we could quantify exactly how much $$ our good friends from the IC, the FGS & FMS have spent in the past year trying to replace the 1P1V model I bet that money would’ve been enough to build biometric polling stations in every major city & town in 🇸🇴by now.

After living in China for 13 years, this is what I learned. A speech I gave late December 2018 to over 400 African Students who attended the African Students Forum we launched at Zhejiang Normal university.I hope these messages inspire more, so do share!
I blame the leniency our culture shows towards rapists for the death of this young girl and many others. Why instead of being punished, they’re allowed to opt to pay the girl’s family (usually with money the tribe collects) &/or wedding the victim (even if forced) It has to stop!
I respect your work& the sincerity of your appeal, but as u mentioned, since this is a historically recurring issue.. let’s appeal 4more permanent solutions! It’s not like Somalia lacks arable land.
Instead of sticking temporary band aids, collect ur efforts to stitch the wound!
Somalia has a long history of food crises and famine, linked to conflict and climate shocks. This year, prolonged drought is putting millions at risk. By July, 5.4m will be uncertain of their next meal, and of those, 2.2m will face crisis levels of food insecurity.

We should all be proud of the professional, educated, strong Somali women who left the comfort of their homes, facing enormous risks, to utilize their skills and capacity to positively contribute to the rebuilding of their true home- their country! Let more Somali women lead!

Great thread on a bit of Somali history .. wish more of our intellectuals spent time sharing useful knowledge like this rather than filling the internet with worthless political squabbles!!
