وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَـَٔامَنَ مَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلُّهُمْ جَمِيعًا ۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُكْرِهُ ٱلنَّاسَ حَتَّىٰ يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ Had your Lord so willed ˹O Prophet˺all˹people˺on earth would have believed, every single one of them!Would you then force people to become believers
Uttering the kitchen metaphor is classic example of misplaced cliche. What you imply is that because I was part of a group that benefited from a political setup, I shouldn’t advocate for enhancing/changing that setup.Keeping the same setup &expecting different outcome is insanity
Speaks now of “fluid clan-influenced and personality-driven” opposition as if he wasn’t part of the same rot. Classic case of the kitchen metaphor - you helped season the stew and now you’re spitting it out like a food critic. Spare us the theatrics!
May this Eid Al Fitr brings lots of love, happiness, peace & prosperity to all Somalis around the world. It’s times like this that our virtues of giving & sharing our happiness with those in need is tested. Wishing a joyous and blessed Eid to all Muslims around the world

Well said, MP Abdirizak. Somalia has become a cautionary tale of what happens when the rule of law collapses and elite impunity takes hold. Orwell’s Animal Farm isn’t just fiction — it’s our lived reality.
Somalia is in the gutter and has become a classic case of George Orwell’s animal farm. Not abiding the rule of law has become the prevailing trait between people on the echelon of leadership.

A Turkish vessel carrying APCs and other military equipment reportedly suffered a systems’ failure off the coast of Somalia’s Puntland state. Maritime police from Puntland boarded the vessel and recorded purported video clips of the military vehicles. A security source says…
Congrats for a job well done.
Journey for Somalia’s NDC 3.0 publishing completed. Yesterday H.E. The State Minister of the MoECC Ahmed Officially handed over the NDC 3.0 to the UNFCCC ES, Mr. Simon Stiell. Abdirizak Ali, DPS-OPM and Chief Negotiator Abdulkani Barrow witnessed the handover
Congrats to🇸🇴’s MoECC for submitting NDC 3.This is a huge milestone for🇸🇴& it puts🇸🇴on par with many developed nations.This reflects its commitment in reducing GHG. In Africa only Moldova & Zimbabwe have submitted NDC 3. Kudos @ayanthecritique & @akhalif40 unfccc.int/NDCREG
Historic moment for #Somalia 🇸🇴, we've officially submitted our Nationally Determined Contribution #NDC. We’re not waiting, we’re leading it. Massive respect to Dr @akhalif40 , who built this from the ground up through tireless effort. 🇸🇴 is rising for #climate #action #ndc2025
You must look the nuanced insight of the post-in advancing state-building in🇸🇴the opposition must institutionalize to be legitimate & have the agency to represent the public.With the current political landscape former politicians fill that gap without institutional legitimacy
I remember when you were mucarad during Farmaajo’s last term — loud, unapologetic, and defiant. I defended you, even when people said you were pushing a personal agenda. Wild to see you now questioning what “opposition” even means. I’m honestly shocked.
I struggled finding an answer to the question;who are/is considered Somali government’s opposition?without using loose words like “stakeholder” even AI couldn’t answer only stating “Somalia’s opposition is fluid clan-influenced, & personality-driven rather than institutional”
I could’ve agreed with you more on Heritage Institutes’ biases. Despite, your observation of their biases lately, I would argue HIPS never was apolitical in its analysis on Somalia. The writing is on the wall- that it has lost credibility as a neutral think tank long time ago
There was a time when I considered the Heritage Institute one of the most credible voices on #Somali affairs. But lately, it's becoming hard to take them seriously mainly because some team members seem more eager to play politics than to provide real insight. Just look at their…
Big shout out to @ayanthecritique for being elected the co-chair of CDM DNA forum by the parties in Panama City. Congrats Ayan for representing Somalia well.
The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change of the Federal Republic of Somalia continues to strengthen its role in global climate governance.During #UNFCCC Climate Week in Panama, Somalia represented by Ms. Ayan Harare, Climate Finance Coordinator was elected Vice-Chair of the…
The city must build necessary infrastructures to minimize the impact of torrential rains.However,you r right developed nations r the greatest CO2 emitters.Yet, the North has the audacity to preach Africa on transition to green energy when Africa is about to exploit its resources
#Mogadishu is drowning. This isn’t just rain, it’s climate chaos fueled by decades of unchecked emissions from the world’s richest nations. Our streets are damaged, families displaced , and waterborne diseases are spreading fast.#ClimateCrisis #LossAndDamage
This is too long to read & lacks coherence.The title‘urgent appeal’ contradicts with the body content,which explains the hooligan behavior of MPs during house session.U refer presiding speaker as Ex. Addressing it to foreigners& IC puts u in an awkward position to b taken serious

How about this free 101 on oil & gas contracts👇🏿for educating amateurs who are misleading the public on🇹🇷&🇸🇴IGA. Karar Doomey brilliantly disentangles the false narrative spewed by pundits around the Inter-governmental Agreement between 🇹🇷&🇸🇴on hydrocarbons.This is aptly & timely
Here’s the full video: Somalia’s former Petroleum DG, Eng. Karar Dhoomey, explains that the Türkiye deal is a framework
Uttering criticism & calling the IGA unlawful reflects ur lack of understanding of oil & gas contracts.While the MOU sets 5% royalty & 90% cost recovery, fiscal terms r detailed in the PSA.This piece by staff engineer will suffice 4 beginners to understand carab88.blogspot.com/2025/04/unders…
Wadajir Party categorically denounce the unlawful oil agreement secretly negotiated between FGS and Turkey. This backroom deal constitutes a grave assault on our nation's sovereignty and the economic rights of the Somali people.
The glaring difference between u & Americans is the US recognizes there is one sovereign🇸🇴that has been a member of the UN since 1960. Americans aren’t dumb,ur retarded ideas are dumb.The USA knows you’re a paid lobbyist bent on in swaying US foreign policy 4 ur personal interest
It’s not enough that his PM & FM insult @POTUS & Mog is a $1 billion yearly drain on #USA🇺🇲 taxpayers, but rump #Somalia🇸🇴’s @HassanSMohamud thinks Americans are so dumb that he can offer us key #Somaliland & #Puntland ports that he doesn’t even control!🧐 semafor.com/article/03/28/…

The joint session of parliament approved the electoral law. Article 82 (2) of the law states any electoral process anywhere in the territory of Somalia that is not aligned with the electoral law will be null & void.This is a major milestone that contributes to🇸🇴’s state-building

In alignment with state-building agenda the FGS is committed to transcend from clan based indirect elections to adopting 1P1V direct election.The FGS will delegitimize the outcome of Jubaland’s farcical project of nominating state MPs, speaker & president all in a few days. Smh

JOINT PRESS STATEMENT International Partners urge de-escalation of FGS-Jubaland dispute Mogadishu, 20 November 2024 – International Partners* are alarmed by the escalation of the dispute between the Federal Government and Jubaland State following the recent National…
The joint session of both houses of the federal parliament approved political parties law. Another milestone that brings direct election closer to realization.Holding indirect election by FMS is a pipe dream that won’t manifest into reality &will constitute a violation of the law
