🚨 #Somalia | Al-Shabab Double IED Attack Kills More... Than 10 Somalia Soldiers in Lower Shabelle More than 10 Somalia soldiers were killed and at least 15 others wounded yesterday after Al-Shabab militants targeted a Gorgor military troop carrier travelling with supplies from Mogadishu toward Mubarak. The vehicle was struck by a powerful IED on the road between Awdheegle and Mubarak, reportedly destroying the truck. Some reports put the overall casualties at more than 50, with all 42 soldiers travelling on the truck said to have been either killed or wounded. A second group of Somalia soldiers sent toward the scene as reinforcements was then hit by another explosive attack, causing further casualties. Al-Shabab claimed it killed 20 soldiers and wounded 32 others in the two attacks. Mubarak was captured by Ugandan and Somalia forces in March this year, but the surrounding corridor remains heavily contested, with Al-Shabab stepping up attacks across Lower Shabelle in recent weeks.show more

Didn’t read Matt Bryden’s “Somalia at Risk of Becoming... a Jihadist State”? Here’s the TL;DR — (and what he’s really doing.) Bryden’s latest piece is a two-dozen-page “brief” in his signature style: open with al-Shabaab “at the gates,” narrate Somali history as one straight line to collapse, and close by insisting only external intervention can keep the fallout “manageable.” The themes never change: federalism is broken; the national government is the villain; Islamists lurk everywhere; donors are exhausted and abandoning; Somaliland deserves recognition; and any federal member state arguing with Mogadishu becomes a “responsible actor.” This isn’t new. It’s the latest entry in a 30-year pattern: • 1999 – Building Block Approach: praise Ethiopia, warn against a Somali central government. • 2003 – No Quick Fixes: downplay terrorism; call critics “alarmist.” • 2003 – Banana Test: argue Somaliland already meets recognition standards. • 2013 – Somalia Redux?: dismiss national progress as a “surreal bubble.” • 2021 – Fake Fight: claim the FGS was colluding with al-Shabaab. The new brief simply reheats the formula. What makes this brief even more revealing is Bryden’s fixation on Islam — in a country that is 100% Sunni Muslim and whose political actors remain united in fighting al-Shabaab and ISIS. Of course he knows religion and politics mix everywhere: Kenya’s evangelical blocs, Ethiopia’s Orthodox and Pentecostal actors, Europe’s Christian Democrats, and the decisive role of America’s Bible Belt states. Yet somehow, Muslim politicians in Somalia are “the threat.” This five-year fear cycle of “the barbarians are coming” is his franchise. Meanwhile, Somalia actually cooperates daily with Kenya, Ethiopia, the EU, UK, U.S., UAE, Qatar, and Türkiye on security, intelligence, aid, and counter-terrorism. Contrary to his script, the UK injected £30 million into Somalia’s security transition last month; the EU continues to fund AUSSOM; the U.S. conducts regular FGS requested strikes; and the successive government he pronounces “dead on arrival” lifted the arms embargo, secured multibillion-dollar debt relief, and — inconveniently for his framing — now Somalia sits on the UN Security Council. Meanwhile, Somalia has had six presidents since 2000, repeated peaceful transfers of power, and zero coups — outperforming most of the global South. Elections are messy, yes, and we’re entering that season again, but they remain peaceful and actors accept results. None of this fits his screenplay. Then comes the Hollywood section of his brief, where he weites: “al-Shabaab’s potential capture of Mogadishu need not foreshadow a total jihadist conquest… A Provisional Federal Government could be established in a secure interim capital…” And continues: “The balance of forces… between a Mogadishu-based al-Shabaab and a Provisional Federal Government in Baidoa… al-Shabaab’s access to port revenues would triple its income…” And! “Since the militants would stand to inherit most of the arms, equipment, and vehicles currently in the SNA’s possession, al Shabaab’s military capabilities would rapidly surge.” At this point, anyone still drinking from Bryden’s well should reconsider. And perhaps — being well beyond retirement age — he might sip his Kool-Aid quietly instead of splashing it across respected platforms. Finally Somalia gave Matt Bryden a lucrative 35-year career, and he repaid it with scorn. Still, we genuinely wish him long and health life — long enough to watch, year after year, the results of our hard work. Also, neither Soomaalinimo — our march toward a strong, peaceful state — nor Islaamnimo — our pride in our faith and our Prophet — is going anywhere. So, pal, dhexda dhuuqso (tighten your belt — you’ll need it). As for this attached video: that’s Stadium Mogadishu — and no, it does not look like a city al-Shabaab is about to “capture.” Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever.show more

Somalia’s Former President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud Declares War on... American and Western Countries - Embraces and Welcomes People’s Republic of China Alliance Stay in Power Forever Today July 13, 2026 - closed-door emergency session at the Office of the President of Somalia with only elite inner circle of the former president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud about the future direction of Somalia after U.S. Government cutting funds from most corrupt dictatorships of former President. Attendees: Former President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, National Security Advisor Aweys Haji Yusuf, NISA DG Mohad Salad, Defense Minister Ahmed Moallim Fiqi, Education Minister Farah Abdiqadir, State Minister of Foreign Affairs Ali Mohamed Omar, and Justice Minister Hassan Moallim. Reported decisions discussed: • Terminating or drastically cutting ties with the United States and Western countries. • Based on agreements during the visit of People’s Republic of China Special Envoy to Horn of Africa Mr. Hu Changchun, immediate full diplomatic, economic, and military alignment with the People’s Republic of China. • With help from China and Turkey, signing immediately a peace deal with Al-Shabaab - on the condition that all Ugandan peacekeeping forces are immediately removed from Somalia. This follows Defense Minister Ahmed Moallim Fiqi’s frontline speeches to Somali National Army troops declaring that Somalia has only two real political forces - the Federal Government (JSP-linked) and Al-Shabaab. The minister telling to the SNA after US Government cut funding to AU Peacekeeping forces that U.S. government is not friend we don’t need money and in courage to show how they feel about US government cutting and led videos show SNA soldiers disrespecting and stomping on US flags. This is the direction the current regime has taken in order to stay in power indefinitely. This is a direct strategic blow to U.S. investment in Somalia’s security and stability, while China gains a key foothold in the Horn of Africa, Al-Shabaab is legitimized, and AU forces are pushed out. Somalia’s shift threatens U.S. national security, U.S. counterterrorism efforts, Red Sea security, and regional stability. #SomaliaBetrayal #ChinaTakesAfrica #USNationalSecurityEmergency #RedSeaCrisis #SomaliaToChina #HornOfAfricaCrisis Team Trump (Text TRUMP to 88022) @SecDef Rep.

What Will The International Community Say Now? When former... President Mohamed Farmaajo engineered parliament’s extension of his term in 2021, he argued that he had not personally extended his mandate — that parliament had given him the extension. Last night, Prez Hassan Sheikh Mohamud made a similar argument in the attached video, stating that parliament, through the constitutional changes he spearheaded, had given themselves — as well as him and his cabinet — an additional year in office. This is despite his earlier public position that his mandate was four years and that even if the constitution were amended to provide for five-year terms, such changes would not apply to him, parliament, or his cabinet, but only to the next government. Below are selected quotes showing how the international community reacted in April 2021 when Farmaajo’s term extension was announced. I am wondering what they will say now, particularly given that U.S. Embassy Mogadishu, Somalia and UK in Somalia🇬🇧🇸🇴 representatives convened and facilitated three days of mediation talks. The African Union Peace and Security Council: “Condemns the actions of 12 April 2021 by the House of the People, which extended the mandate of the President and the Parliament, as effectively delaying the elections, thereby undermining unity and stability of the country, the nascent democratic and constitutional processes, which also threaten the relative peace and security, as well as the important gains that Somalia has made over the years with the support of the AU and other partners with huge sacrifices;” April 2021 — UN Security Council: “called on all parties to reject violence and resume dialogue as a matter of urgency and without precondition. They called on Somalia’s leaders to recognise and build upon the many areas of agreement already reached, to resolve their remaining differences and to put the interests of the people of Somalia first, within a Somali-owned, Somali-led electoral process, and with an agreed timetable, as soon as possible”; April 13, 2021 — European Union: “Yesterday, the Lower House of the Somali Parliament voted to a de-facto extension of the mandate of the President and the Federal Government by two years … This action undermines the longstanding effort, supported by the EU and the international community, to rebuild Somalia through consensus. The international community, including the EU, have repeatedly and publicly expressed that we could under no circumstances accept an extension of the government mandate, or any partial or parallel process related to the elections …The European Union believes that the passage and signing of this resolution will divide Somalia, impose additional delays and constitute a grave threat to the peace and stability of Somalia and its neighbours. It certainly does not serve the interests of the people of Somalia. April 13, 2021 — USA “The United States Opposes Federal Government Term Extensions Press Statement — Secretary of State “The United States is deeply disappointed by the Federal Government of Somalia’s decision to approve a legislative bill that extends the mandates of the president and parliament by two years. We have stressed repeatedly that … the United States does not support mandate extensions … Such actions would be deeply divisive, undermine the federalism process and political reforms that have been at the heart of the country’s progress and partnership with the international community, and divert attention away from countering al-Shabaab.” Also attached is a video and transcript of then-opposition leader imploring Somalia’s international partners to take a firm stand and call a spade a spade: “Friends of Somalia, we will advise them to be part of the solution. They should stand with where the solution lies, and they should tell any individual who is obstructing a solution: stop, you are not contributing to a resolution.” “Problems should not be allowed to drag on and fester…” says the then opposition leader HSMshow more

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 Afghan regime backed FAK terrorists carried... out an IED explosion in crowded Wana Bazaar, South Waziristan Agency, Pakistan. Due to Ramadan, there was a large crowd shopping for Iftar. Initial reports show Multiple local civilians martyred and 20 x civilian are injured. The number of dead is expected to rise. The injured are being shifted to hospitals for treatment. This terrorist incident once again proves these Khawarij have nothing to do with Islam, martyring fasting Muslims on the instructions of their foreign masters. This should also be another reminder to Mulla Yaqub who refuses to call out TTP as terrorists. Khawaja M. Asifshow more

🚨BREAKING: Massive Explosion Rocks Tehran After U.S.–Israel Strike Raw... footage is now circulating showing a massive detonation in Tehran after reported U.S. and Israeli missile strikes on Iranian military infrastructure. The blast is so powerful that the shockwave appears to ripple across multiple city blocks, sending a towering column of fire and smoke into the sky. This is the scale of modern precision warfare. The ongoing campaign against Iranian military targets has already produced repeated explosions across the capital as strike packages hit command centers, missile facilities, and security compounds tied to the regime. Explosions and heavy bombardment have been reported across Tehran as the conflict escalates into its fifth day. Video like this shows the moment a hardened target is hit. A flash… a shockwave… then a rolling fireball expanding outward as the structure collapses and debris erupts into the air. When a strike generates a blast that large, it usually means one of three things was hit A weapons storage facility A missile command site Or a major military compound. Multiple strikes in Tehran over the past several days have already destroyed IRGC facilities and key regime infrastructure as the joint campaign expands. The message behind footage like this is unmistakable. When hostile regimes threaten Americans… launch missiles across the region… and build underground weapons networks… The response from the United States of America and its allies arrives with OVERWHELMING precision and force. That explosion lighting up the Tehran skyline is the sound of military capability meeting its target. DO NOT THREATEN AMERICANS! Because when the United States responds… the entire world hears it. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGrooveshow more

Human Rights Alert: Escalating Targeted Violence Against #Somaliland Civilians... in Mogadishu #Somaliland Human Rights Defenders express grave concern over the escalating attacks targeting civilians originally from Somaliland—particularly members of the Isaaq community—residing in Mogadishu. In recent days, families of #Somaliland origin living in the capital have been assaulted inside their homes by armed groups wielding knives, axes, stones, and metal objects. These attacks appear organized and deliberate, aimed at inflicting harm on #Somaliland civilians solely on the basis of their identity. A videos recorded bystanders in Mogadishu, showing violent assaults against #Somaliland residents, has circulated widely on social media, further heightening fear among affected communities. This surge in violence began shortly after #Somaliland received international recognition, a development that has triggered inflammatory rhetoric from certain leaders within the Federal Government of #Somalia. Instead of promoting calm, these officials alongside some religious figures and segments of the Mogadishu public, have disseminated hate‑filled messages that dehumanize Somaliland civilians, justify violence against them, and frame them as legitimate targets for “jihad.” Such rhetoric has directly contributed to the mobilization of groups now committing communal attacks. #Somaliland Human Rights Defenders are deeply alarmed by this pattern of incitement and by the failure of federal authorities to protect vulnerable civilians. The deliberate spread of hate speech by influential figures constitutes a serious violation of international human‑rights norms and risks fueling further communal violence. This violence is part of a long and troubling pattern. In July 1998, fifty‑one #Somaliland‑origin businessmen, intellectuals, and university students were massacred at Jasiira Beach in Mogadishu by former Somali military officials linked to the family of Dictator Mohamed Siyad Barre. More recently, in February 2024, a Somaliland civil aviation official, Abdinasir Muse Dahable, was killed in his home in the Wadajir district of Mogadishu. According to medical investigation teams, his death resulted from torture. These incidents form part of a recurring wave of communal violence targeting Isaaq civilians in Mogadishu. We urgently call upon: - The United States and United Kingdom embassies, - United Nations offices in the Halane compound, and - The wider international community to publicly condemn the ongoing abuses and communal violence directed at Somaliland‑origin civilians in Mogadishu and across Somalia. We further urge international partners to press the Federal Government of Somalia to take immediate, concrete measures to restrain mobilized groups, prevent further attacks, and ensure the safety and protection of all civilians regardless of origin. Failure to act risks allowing this violence—sparked by political developments and inflamed by official rhetoric—to escalate into broader communal conflict. In light of the urgent protection needs of those affected, Somaliland Human Rights Defenders also call upon the Government of Somaliland to coordinate closely with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) to facilitate immediate assistance for victims of the Mogadishu communal violence. The majority of these civilians have expressed a clear willingness to relocate to Somaliland for safety. Effective collaboration with these humanitarian agencies is essential to ensure safe passage, emergency support, and dignified reception for all displaced #Somaliland‑origin families seeking protection.
