Freedom of expression is guaranteed under the Provisional Constitution. Your statement seems intimidation, threat & silencing movements & civil society orgs esp.
@LeadNOWso
Indeed, Somalia is awake & we understand who is doing what in the political arena. No one can silence us.
Dear
@leadnowso
, your insinuation of H.E President
@M_Farmaajo
Sabotaging the elections talks is uncalled for. We have seen similarly veiled political motives before. Civil Society plays a significant role at such times, & all We ask for is its neutrality. SOMALIA IS AWAKE!
I wish many Somalis would think of federalism (FGS vs FMSs) as JFK did in 1963: “We are nt fifty countries-we are one country of fifty states & one people. And I believe that those programs which make life better 4 some of our people will make life better for all of our people.”
I am honored to be among the briefers of the UN Security Council with
@UNSomalia
envoy, James Swan, SRCC Amb. Francisco Madeira & Somalia PM
@MohamedHRoble
speaking on behalf of civil society in Somalia & Somali women.

Wisdom of the Day:
If you can’t contribute anything positive to humanity, at least Do No Harm. Spreading lies, negatively, hatred & division has no benefit. Hurting someone’s feeling isn’t going to make you look better.
#Respect
is reciprocal.
I can’t come to terms with how the attack on Lul Yemeni restaurant happened while all the roads were blocked & the whole city was militarized. There has to be accountability & explanation from the security sector
@M_Farmaajo

Very much concerned about the fast decline of women Ministers. In less than a year, we’r down to 4 instead of 6. The 3 ministers replaced today, at least 1 should have been a woman.

Disappointing that 6 ministers, 5 deputy ministers & 2 state ministers were appointed last night with no woman.

Is this a joke or what? What Cabinet? The Prime Minister appoints the Cabinet of Ministers & when he resigns/ousted, the whole cabinet collapses. The DPM & Ministers no longer have an official position aside from waiting 4 their replacements & handing over their responsibilities.
The Cabinet meeting also highlighted the SFG's gratitude to the international community but stressed the need for our partners to respect the sovereignty of our nation and our constitution as well as the UN Diplomatic Convention. FGS is committed to

It is a waste of taxpayers money 2 give high salaries to 275 MPs who are not working 4 d country & ppl.
The word 'President' has become meaningless in Somalia. President of ... state (5), then President of the Presidents, then President of ALL - the real president. Why can't we come up with a creative word for regional heads since a governor is too small 4 their ...
Please use I instead of we. You are only responsible for your view as many ppl including myself support
@AsstSecStateAF
statement. It is clear that
@M_Farmaajo
has been sabotaging the electoral process to stay in power by any cost & put the country on the verge of civil war.
Wisdom of the Day: Love yourself 1st & take good care of you. Only when you love yourself are you capable of loving & taking care of others. “Qofki tiisa daryeela ayaa tu kalena ku daro.”
Somalia needs credible, transparent & speedy electoral process in order to be saved from conflict, destruction & stagnation. We have no choice, but to work towards that whatever it takes. All deterrent of the electoral process should be shamed & stopped collectively.
Fact: the British Protectorate of Somaliland was never registered or recognized as an independent country at the UN when it got its independence on June 26, 1960, but had 2 wait the independence of the Italian Somaliland on July 1, 1960 & the Somali Republic was formed.

It’s annoying when some men say ‘This is

or foreigners’ language’ when we talk about women’s rights, gender parity or discrimination against women as if we don’t have a mind of our own or the courage to raise issues that are important 4 us. It is public affairs issue.
It is very unfortunate that
@TheVillaSomalia
is so afraid of
@AbiyAhmedAli
to the extent of stopping direly needed medical supplies from the Arab League because
#Egypt

over

is a grave diplomatic mistake
Mohamed Abdirizak, the former Foreign Affairs Minister, says at one point Villa Somalia asked him to stop

from using a C-130 military cargo plane from transporting medical relief from Arab League to

for fear of objection by PM Abiy Ahmed. 1/2
Shame on

for kicking out sick patients out of Mogadishu hospital & shutting down the hospital. That is inhumane, deep & below the belt. Cutting humanitarian assistance as a political pressure is a desperate move.

@Nadia_Mohameds
’ constituents are about 80% white so she wasn’t elected mainly by Somalis & other Muslims or blacks. If she run 4 Som parliament I am + that her clansmen would say a woman can’t represent us, but now that she is elected, they bring in her jifo. Hippocrates
When a brilliant Somali is elected to a Local or National office in their adopted countries, they are an inspiration to millions of Somalis in the Diaspora & back home. Don’t spoil the magic by telling us their ‘home villages’ in SOM or their sub-clans. This is shameful. Stop it!
This agreement is null. A region in a country has no legal authority to sign a security agreement w/ a foreign country.
@AbiyAhmedAli
& his National Defense Forces should know better.
South West State of Somalia and Ethiopian National Defense Forces signed a security close cooperation agreement in the war against terrorism posed by Al-Shabab.
Al-Shabab presence in Bay & Bakool regions caused dire insecurity in the area as they tried to cross over 2 weeks ago.
It would be great if someone could do a study on how much money & time/resources individual & businesses lose every time Mogadishu is shutdown. May be it would be cheaper if gov’t leaders buy a helicopter that takes them 2 z airport, or wherever else in z city they r visiting.
Beautiful sunset in Beledweyne. Glad Beledweyne is recovering from the terrible floods & residents are back to their homes though still dealing with the trauma and damages from the floodings.
Somali history is almost always contested because of distortion of truth & fabrication of events due to political, regional, clan or self interest/opposition. Bal adba!

A must-read article! Women outscored men on 17 of the 19 capabilities that differentiate excellent leaders from average or poor ones" The Coronavirus Crisis: Does COVID-19 Prove Women Are Best Suited to Lead in a Crisis?
Since when did the “young” become men only. How can they lead and become today & tomorrow’s leaders when half of the youth are excluded. There is no difference between d older & younger generations. Bal adba!
