#WATCH: Puntland State President, H.E Said Abdullahi Deni has urged the opposition group, the ‘National Salvation Forum’ led by Sharif Sheikh Ahmed to take decisive action to “save the country,” warning them against wasting time in what he described as “pointless” and “endless” meetings with Villa Somalia. Deni further accused certain opposition figures of prioritising personal ambitions over the national interest, warning that such behaviour is undermining the unity and effectiveness of the opposition front. #Somalia

In recent years, a misleading and dangerous narrative has gained traction in Somali political discourse, one that reduces Puntland to a tribal entity while positioning Somalia as the only legitimate national framework. This notion is not only inaccurate but also undermines the political reality on the ground. Puntland is not a tribe, it is a functioning government. And the people of Puntland are justified in putting Puntland first because it is the only government that has consistently provided them with services, stability, and a sense of civic belonging. A government, by definition, is an institution that delivers essential services such as security, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and public administration. It operates under a legal framework, often anchored in a constitution, and is staffed by institutions that enforce laws, collect revenue, and govern society. Puntland has fulfilled all of these functions. Since its founding in 1998, Puntland has operated with a constitution, a regional parliament, executive leadership, and a judiciary. It has established police forces, intelligence services, and military units that maintain peace in its territories. Puntland has built and operated public schools, hospitals, and administrative offices across its regions. These are the markers of a functioning government, not the features of a tribe. There is no tribe called Puntland. Rather, Puntland is a coalition of diverse communities and clans who voluntarily came together to build a regional authority in response to the collapse of Somalia’s central government. To describe Puntland as a tribe is to fundamentally misunderstand or deliberately distort the nature of its political structure. Tribes are kinship-based social formations; they do not have constitutions, flags, or formal governments that deliver public goods. Puntland is a political entity, a state government within the federal system of Somalia, that exists because it filled a vacuum created by the central state’s failure. That failure is not theoretical, it is lived and real. For decades, the Federal Government of Somalia has been unable to provide basic services to its citizens. Many regions of the country have been mired in conflict, neglect, and administrative collapse. In contrast, Puntland emerged as a self-reliant response to this vacuum. It did not wait for Mogadishu to bring security, law, and order. Instead, it built those systems on its own, using local capacity, leadership, and popular support. While the international community debated Somalia’s future, Puntland created one for its people. This is why many Puntlanders identify with Puntland first. It is not out of tribalism or secessionist ambition but because Puntland is the government that has served them. Loyalty is earned through service and protection. National identity cannot be forced from above; it must emerge from the legitimacy and performance of institutions. For Puntlanders, Puntland is not only a region but also a source of security, education, opportunity, and governance. In this context, putting Puntland first is a rational, even patriotic, act. Critics who attempt to diminish Puntland’s role by labeling it a tribal entity are engaging in a harmful narrative. Not only does this view ignore the facts, but it also disrespects the hard work of those who built Puntland’s institutions and continue to uphold them. Reducing Puntland to a tribe is a political distortion designed to strip its people of their agency and undermine their political achievements. It is both factually wrong and morally irresponsible.

PUNTLAND PRESIDENT IN MILITARY UNIFORM ISSUES STERN WARNING TO SOOL BARI AND MOGADISHU Wearing a military uniform, the President of Puntland has delivered a direct and unmistakable message to the political actors in Sool Bari: “We see what you are doing, and we have tolerated it long enough.” Addressing the situation in Sanaag, the President stated: “The people of Sanaag made their decision in 1998. They chose #Puntland. They are part of this state and will be protected by the Puntland Defense Forces. You, on the other hand, chose to leave. So leave it at that.” The warning continued with strong language against continued destabilization efforts: “Your aggression and attempts to divide will not be tolerated. What we send next, you will not like. Heed my words.” Turning to the federal government in #Mogadishu, the President didn’t hold back: “Focus on Al-Shabaab. They control more territory in South #Somalia than you do. If you want to be taken seriously, start by securing your own house before interfering in Puntland’s affairs.” This is the clearest sign yet that Puntland’s leadership is no longer interested in silence or soft diplomacy in the face of federal provocation and internal sabotage.

🚨 BREAKING POLITICAL STORM IN MOGADISHU Deni’s Fiery Speech Sparks Outrage and Deepens Divisions MOGADISHU: Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni has triggered a political firestorm after delivering explosive remarks in Mogadishu accusing the city’s power holders of “destroying the capital” and publicly questioning where Hawiye government figures were during his gathering, a statement that quickly ignited backlash across political circles. During the speech, Deni reportedly declared that #Mogadishu would not be left under the control of current Hawiye political leadership and suggested that aligned forces would ultimately seek to reclaim influence over the capital, remarks that critics say risk inflaming already fragile tensions. Prominent voices within the Hawiye community have condemned the statements, labeling Deni a political provocateur and accusing him of undermining #Somalia’s unity and stability. Supporters of Deni, however, argue that his comments reflect deep frustration among factions who believe they have been sidelined from power and decision making in the capital. Analysts warn that escalating rhetoric from rival political camps could deepen divisions at a time when security threats and political fragility remain high, raising fears that verbal clashes could spill into wider instability if not contained.

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚_𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦🚨 Awdal Rising Against Secession The Awdal Region is now at the heart of Somalia’s national priorities. Following the Gadabursi Suldan’s meeting with President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a new phase is opening that will strengthen Awdal’s ties with the Federal Government and further weaken the secessionist agenda. The Somali government is preparing new measures to ensure that Awdal receives the attention and development it has long been denied under Somaliland’s failed administration. This shift comes at a time when the people of Sool, Sanaag, and Awdal have already rejected secession. The Somali National Army has established its new headquarters in the Northeast State, signaling the start of broader operations. Military aircraft will soon be stationed in the region, sending a clear warning to those backing secession: the Somali government will defend its unity and independence at all costs. On the development front, the Turkish Ambassador to Somalia met with the Gadabursi Suldan to discuss how Awdal can move forward toward prosperity and stability. Both sides highlighted the region’s neglect under the secessionists and emphasized the urgent need for investment, infrastructure development, and drought recovery. For too long, Awdal has been marginalized by a failed secessionist project. Now, with the support of the Somali government and its international allies, Awdal is set to reclaim its rightful place as a defender of Somalia’s unity.

#ALERT: Puntland Declares Hassan Sheikh a “Former President” Puntland Government has announced that it no longer recognizes Hassan Sheikh Mohamud as the legitimate president of Somalia, declaring that the Federal Government has lost the legal mandate under which it was elected. The statement came as Puntland authorities welcomed resolutions issued by the “Future of Somalia Council,” amid escalating political tensions between #Garowe and #Mogadishu. According to Puntland officials, the regional cabinet agreed that Somali stakeholders — particularly influential political and community leaders — should urgently convene to discuss what it described as the country’s “uncertain future” and worsening political direction. Puntland also warned foreign governments and international organizations against entering into agreements with what it called an “unconsented administration,” arguing that such deals could undermine their long-term interests and legitimacy in Somalia. The regional administration further condemned what it described as Federal Government actions involving land seizures, forced displacement, and the detention of individuals holding opposing political views. The latest declaration marks a significant escalation in the long-running dispute between Puntland and the Federal Government, raising fresh concerns over political fragmentation and constitutional tensions in Somalia.

Mamdani on Arch/Ballroom/Club Rose Garden: My message would be that this is not what government has to be. This is not the only vision for what it looks like to have politics in this country—that is so divorced from the needs and wants of everyday people. And what we are looking to show in New York City is an alternative to what has led so many to become disenchanted with the political process. We want to show that not only can government work, but it must, and that at its core, our responsibility is to working people—to ensure that we’re doing everything to make their lives easier. That has to be what drives our actions, and for too long, government has felt more like a distraction than a fulfillment of the needs of the people who’ve been left behind by the politics of today.

Why Did Washington Lift Ethiopia’s Arms Embargo Now? Why is Washington opening the door for arms access to Ethiopia at this moment? The answer is simple. With the UAE already accused of backing the RSF, and Ethiopia now emerging as a possible route in the Sudan war, this decision could create another corridor for weapons to flow into an already devastating conflict and true to its predatory nature, the US empire has primed itself to exploit that opening. Sudan’s war is not a local power struggle. It is about foreign interests, mineral wealth, regional control, and the continued weakening of African states for outside benefit.

French Army General and Chief of the Defence Staff Thierry Burkhard Chef d'état-major des armées: "Russia is a lasting threat. The war in Ukraine is existential for Russia. And it is determined to achieve what it has set as its goal, or at least what Putin has set as his goal, with the ultimate objective, in military terms, being to weaken Europe and dismantle NATO. That is Russia's goal, it is Putin's goal. To achieve it, through the war in Ukraine, it has reorganized itself quite quickly and effectively, setting up a war economy that is now running at full capacity. This war economy, I believe, is currently one of the key factors keeping the Russian economy afloat. And so, there is no reason - and even a kind of impossibility - to abruptly stop this. This means that Russia will continue to rearm at this pace. And so, despite the losses it is suffering, the incredible losses it is suffering, we estimate that by 2030, it will once again be a force that will pose a real threat to our borders on the eastern flank of Europe. It is clear that what is at stake in Ukraine is, on the one hand, the security of Europe, but I also think that it is, in fact, the place of European countries in the world, in tomorrow's world, in the world that we are shaping today. And if the outcome in Ukraine were a Russian victory and a Ukrainian defeat, we often say that would be a Western defeat, I think that it would be, and is increasingly becoming, due to the American stance, something that would be a real European defeat. And this European defeat is something we would have to endure and absorb. So, Ukraine, of course, must be defended as such. And I think that defending Ukraine is also, in a way, about how we see ourselves and what we are willing to do to shape Europe as it needs to be in the future, and live in today's world. And you understand that, if that doesn't happen - to use an image that has already been used - we would become something like herbivores in a world of carnivores. And that's not a very comfortable position — being at the bottom of the food chain. So for that reason, we must remain extremely vigilant."

We work smarter, not harder. It is simple, really. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed made it clear that leadership in a complex region requires discipline, respect, and strategic clarity. The UAE understands alliances. It respects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a central pillar of regional stability. Our language reflects that respect. Our posture reinforces unity, not friction. We also understand facts on the ground. Forces that stood from day one, carried the burden, and earned the trust of the coalition are not labels to be distorted for political convenience. They are partners who defended legitimacy and stability when it mattered most. And through it all, the UAE remains what it has always been. A reliable neighbor. A committed partner. A state that does not shift with noise or pressure, but stays anchored to principles, coordination, and long term stability in Yemen and the region. That is not rhetoric. That is strategy.

This is the situation in Mozambique’s capital city, Maputo, following the proclamation that Frelimo’s Daniel Chapo has won the presidential election. The skyline is shrouded in thick black smoke from burning tyres. The political and security situation is now spiralling out of control, and it requires proper and reflective leadership to contain it and ensure that Mozambican citizens and visitors to that country do not lose their lives and that property is not further destroyed. So far around 110 people have died since the election was held on 9 October this year. I understand that South Africa often presents itself as just another member of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), but it is not. It is the leading economy in both the region and the continent, and whenever there is a political crisis in any of the neighboring countries, it invariably takes the heat. As such, South Africa must take the lead because an escalation will affect it as well, given its proximity to Mozambique. It is only a five-hour drive from Johannesburg to Maputo, only 540 kilometres apart. When a similar post-election dispute and violent situation occurred in Zimbabwe in 2008, there was a significant migration movement from Zimbabwe to South Africa. Likewise, this political crisis triggered by a disputed election result is likely to result in another unwanted influx of illegal immigrants into South Africa. Human nature works that way, nature doesn’t like a vacuum, if there is no space to survive in a given area, human beings look for a conducive environment to cover that vacuum for peace. I have also noticed that Fikile Mbalula, the Secretary General of South Africa’s ruling ANC, has posted slogans on Twitter in support of Frelimo just as he did with ZANUPF in Zimbabwe last year. That is not what you do when you are a leader of a political party that has such regional influence as the ANC. Leadership is not about empty political slogans that don’t add any value to a volatile situation. The ANC should create a situation where South Africa can act as an arbiter, not a political adversary for Mozambique’s opposition as happened in Zimbabwe. Such public slogans as Mbalula’s risk making South Africa unfit to provide a negotiating platform, which is desperately needed to resolve this crisis. It is in South Africa’s interest for peace to prevail in Mozambique otherwise it will take in more illegal immigrants running away from the violence: This crisis must be resolved through negotiation, otherwise, it will destabilise the region further by exacerbating the already fragile situation in the north of the country, in Cabo Delgado, where Mozambique has had to bring in Rwandese soldiers to contain the situation. Any escalation of the current situation will affect the whole region and that also means we are all not secure and we will all suffer together. What we have is no longer just a Mozambican situation, we have a regional crisis that might escalate to the detriment of the region. May the region’s real leaders please stand up!

🇺🇸 MAMDANI: I TOLD THE PRESIDENT I OPPOSED THE ACTION IN VENEZUELA “It was a phone call, not too different than the other conversations that I’ve had with the president, be it in the Oval Office or in the call that we’re discussing right now. It was honest, it was forthright, it was direct, and in this case it was also brief. I made clear to the president that I opposed this action by the federal government, that unilaterally attacking a foreign country is an act of war. It is done in violation of international law and also federal approval, and I am in opposition to a pursuit of regime change.” Source: Kaitlan Collins Zohran Kwame Mamdani

His location is unknown and Somalia’s security agencies have issued no statement.

Battle for the #RedSea 🔥 -- It is time for 🇸🇴🇸🇦🇹🇷🇪🇬🇩🇯 and every other party with a geopolitical stake to formalize a #Defense Alliance and mount together a solid military resistance to this unprecedented immediate threat by Israel & UAE against regional stability. After US' action in Venezuela and inaction in Gaza, it is CRYSTAL CLEAR that the #UN/int'l law/courts mechanism has completely collapsed and we're back to a kill or be killed world. The enemy only respects military power, and thus, it's time for us to earn that respect. Let's make brotherly #Somalia the symbol of our sacred unity. 🪖

The visit of Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, accompanied by Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre, to the city of Las Anod today,the first of its kind by a Somali president in 42 years since Siad Barre’s visit, represents, in my view, a strategic and historic turning point. It is a masterstroke and a resounding slap to the 'Somaliland' secessionist project, as well as a firm response to the recent Israeli recognition that sought to legitimize division. ​Las Anod, the historic heart of the Sool region, has chosen Somali unity, rejected secessionist occupation, and expelled the Hargeisa administration after bloody battles, establishing the SSC-Khatumo federal state under Mogadishu’s authority. ​This visit serves as a sovereign declaration in bold: that the territorial integrity of Somalia is a red line and is not subject to division. The arrival of the federal leadership in the heart of Sool province is a de facto field recognition of the victory of the local population's will. ​Undoubtedly, this visit is a courageous national step that reflects the unity of Somali lands and the state's commitment to direct communication with its citizens in all regions. Here, the Somali state tells the world that it has returned to its northern lands, and that secession has ended,both politically and practically,upon the rock of Las Anod’s steadfastness.

Kamala Harris: We cannot despair. We cannot despair. The nature of a democracy is such that I think there's a duality. On the one hand, there's an incredible strength when our democracy is intact. An incredible strength in what it does to protect the freedoms and rights of its people. Oh, there's great strength in that. And it is very fragile. It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it. And so that's the moment we're in. And I say do not despair because in a democracy, as long as we can keep it, in our democracy the people, every individual has the power to make a decision about what this will be. And so let's not feel powerless. Because then we have been defeated. And that's not our character as the American people. We are not one to be defeated. We rise to a moment and we stand on broad shoulders of people who have fought this fight before for our country. And in many ways let us look at the challenge then that we are being presented and not be overwhelmed by it. The baton is now in our hands, to fight for, not against, but for this country we love.
