Pure Evil & Soomalinimo. Poor Somalis have been the ultimate victims of warlords, political thugs, and mindless terrorists. However, the current regime in Mogadishu and much of the political class in the country are desecrating the last remnants of the soul of Somalinimo. The.

Türkiye’s Partisan Involvement in Somali Affairs is Courting Disaster. Türkiye original humanitarian support in Somalia has morphed to a partisan agenda. The government of Türkiye is either incapable of understanding the toxic and sectarian political culture of the Somali elite.

Somalia has become Türkiye’s Neo-colonial client. May the creator bless you all, Aamiin. Somalis and their genuine well-wishers are deeply concerned about Turkey’s evolving role in the country. Over four years ago, I wrote an essay warning about the looming trouble. It’s clear.

Posted below is the link to my latest essay on Somalia's enduring nightmare. The essay explicitly provides a diagnosis of our disaster and a clear way out of it. This article underscores the role the AU and the International Community plays perpetuating the catastrophe and how.

The Challenge to the Somali Political Opposition.The overwhelming majority of Somalis are convinced that Hassan Sh. has taken the nation to the edge of existential cliff. The debate on him is settled: he is irredeemable. Now, Somalis are deeply worried about the fragmented.

Clarion call for faithful Somalis. National betrayal has taken multiple forms. Among these are:. 1. the destruction of our deep and common identity. This is what the 4.5 tribal political formula has done to the essence of being a Somali: petty fragmenation and utter mistrust.

Hassan Sh's Electoral Illusion . Bereft of Trust and Faith, Hassan's last political gasp is to try to create a farcical version of George Orwell's Animal Farm. His illusion is to become the judge and jury by appointing the election commission, manage the election and be the.

An act of shame and betrayal.What transpired yesterday in the Somali Parliament demonstrates the total decay of our institutions and leaders. The speaker's core value is the corruption of everything that is sacred: faith in Islam, common cause, empathy of less fortunate, and fear.

Somalia is the victim of a deranged political class. This cohort suffers from four incurable maladies: self-hate, insatiable greed, inferiority complex, and mistrust. These ailments have deprived them of any empathy for our people's suffering. Liberation cannot come soon enough.

🇹🇷Parliament has endorsed the Somali hydrocarbon law after months of study, knowing the Somali people have yet to see and study this agreement.🇹🇷 is acting like a neo-colonial master bent on looting Somali resource in cahoots with HSM.🇸🇴will not forget Turkiye's neocolonial acts.

HSM realization that he is marching to a dead-end is a welcome opportunity to save our nation. The critical questions are: A)would he honor his word contrary to his past practice; B)whether the opposition would become wise and faithfully unite to save our country. Time will tell.

Relationship between Turkey and Somalia has morphed to one between a patron and client. Today's picture from Ankara speaks volumes. The colonial era was over 65 years ago.

HSM has taken our country to the edge of the precipice and he has no capacity to pull back. The fragmented opposition has failed to unite as a team to rescue our nation. These conditions mimick the circumstances of late 1980s. Can Somalis unite to save our children’s destiny?.

The speaker of Somali Parliament has overstepped his authority. Section 5 of chapter 9 of the house rules clearly states that a 2/3 of MPs sanction the expulsion of an MP. This makes his expulsion letter null and void.

The Ethiopian PM has not publicly withdrawn from his claim of Somali coast, nor has he apologized. Hassan Sh's grand welcome to Abiy Ahmed to Mogadish means grand humiliation of Somalis. Hassan is doing this to get Abiye support in Juba land. This is high treason.
