If a terrorist singer shows the level of terrorists infiltration in different sections of the society, his arrest shows the level of competence and sophistication of NISA. Another evidence that security reform is working and producing notable results.

The only way to defeat terrorists is to have a strong and reformed Somali National Army (SNA). In recent months SNA has demonstrated the ability to liberate and hold several strategic towns. Supporting SNA is above politics and an obligation to every citizen

They said Galmudug’s reconciliation and election was a badly managed project. They said it’s rightfully elected president was illegitimate. Now, they are saying exact the opposite! Some people can only see today, not tomorrow! A very simple fact!
#Somalia
Today is 02. 02. 2020. Four 2s and four 0s. It is also Galmudug’s Election Day after 7 months of community reconciliations and negotiations. Although there are small teething problems this is a huge progress in terms of state building!

Dear job-hunters,

Connections to secure the position.
Capacity to fulfill the duties.
Consistency for growth.
Some would claim only one C matters-capacity, ask how they got their own jobs!
