Lovely to see schools in the UK celebrating
#WorldBookDay
today. Over 70% of children in
#Somaliland
are out of school, many of them from pastoralist communities. In 2021, with support from 🇬🇧, almost 6,400 boys and girls in Somaliland went to school for the first time

My sincerest condolences to the Somali people for the passing of Khadra Dahir Cige, an iconic singer
إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
We are mourning the passing of Khadra Dahir Cige – one of the greatest Somali singers of all time. Her contribution to Somali music and art is something we will all remember. Our deepest condolences to family and loved ones.

Inspiring speeches from
@EdnaAdan
, President Bihi and others at the launch of
@Nagaad_Network
Women’s Situation Room and GBV Call Centre. A clear message: ‘GBV is not in our culture, not in our religion’. An important step in providing practical support, but broader support (1/2)

It was lovely to hear memories from Dr Ahmed Hashi, whose father received an award from Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Aden, and Abdiqadir Jirde’s father who attended her coronation as a representative of the British Protectorate (3/3)
