@FahadBinYasin waa khabiir iyo siyaasi. Khibraddiisu waxay salka ku haysaa saxaafadda. Hase ahaatee qoraalkiisaan maanta waa mid aan loo meel dayin oo aan caddayn. Waxyaabaha ka dhalan kara waxaa ugu yar inay akhristayaashu maleeyaan ujeedada dooddiisa. Malahayga: Maxay ku…
I recently engaged with an X-Space hosted by @Gaashaan22. The discussants' debate was centred on the complex dynamics of the proxy conflict between @HassanSMohamud (HSM) and @PresidentMadobe (Madobe). The group tended to romanticise HSM's manoeuvres while criminalising those of…

These startling confessions illustrate a textbook example of a failure. The official press release from the FGS acknowledges that the ship, which is solely carrying military equipment, is owned jointly by the Somali government and a private company. The statement from the FGS…

This press release charges that Puntland operates outside established governance norms, exhibiting characteristics similar to those of a rogue state and engaging in acts of piracy. It also highlights the deficiencies of the FGS in managing weaponry. What can be expected? One…

Deni iskuma heli karo inuu dhinacna jagada Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya haweysto dhinacna la shaqeeyo kooxda Soomaaliya kala goyneysa.
This Turkish spy has the audacity to accuse Puntland, Somalia, of being part of the Zionist agenda. Setting aside the speculation, if the connections with Israel are truly disgraceful, @RTErdogan’s regime has officially documented commercial and financial ties with the Israeli…


Today, I find myself among those reflecting on these contrasting images, accompanied by the melody of Amina Abdullahi’s song, which captures the complexities of experiences in the continuum of existence. In the song, Amina expresses: “Forever in life, time aids one person while…
The intensifying rivalry between Egypt and Ethiopia, primarily focused on issue over the Nile waters and the GERD, is increasingly spilling over into Somalia, particularly the tumultuous Gedo region. Gedo’s strategic border position and deep-rooted rivalries make it particularly…
