In 1948, Radio Hargeisa had programs broadcast in the Oromo language. During the 1950s, a wind of change swept through Somaliland, causing tensions with Ethiopia. Also, during the 1950s, Egypt opened a radio station in Cairo that broadcast programs in Somali. The Cairo station

"The name 'Somalia' was actually given by colonial Italy."
Italian academics and historians discuss how Somalia was purchased by Italy during the colonial era, and how the actual name "Somalia was given by Italy!
There was no "Somalia" prior to arrival of Italians

, amazing job as usual. The UkSlalliece’s campaign reached 100,000 people across London, on 26,June. I’d love to see our government thinking outside the box; we could mobilize more people to support our cause.
Key Observations
The campaign successfully engaged a broad demographic, with the highest engagement from adults (31-65) and young adults (16-30).
There was an even gender split, with a slight majority of male participants.
Notable engagement spikes were observed at Shepherd’s

Here,

emphasized the importance of May 18th and June 26th, and he also explained why it's important not to mix between them. Somaliland gained independence on June 26th, 1960, but May 18th, 1991, marked a restoration. You can find the full interview on MMTV's
The Republic of Somaliland's independence day is June 26, 1960,while May 18 is the restoration of sovereignty. SL has never lost its independence,despite Somalia was ruled by military force for 30 years.Somaliland must celebrate June 26 more than May 18.👇

Just imagine, if Norway said Qatar instead of Saudi Arabia, how would Al Jazeera react? Al Jazeera would make us believe that Qatar was behind everything.

It seems that recognizing Palestine will be like a domino effect. However, in reality, establishing a Palestinian state is not practical yet.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's declaration of recognition of the Palestinian state was met with hearty applause during his speech in front of Parliament today.
Also, HAMAS welcomed the announcement by Norway, Ireland, and Spain of recognition of the State of Palestine.
