My friend Abdi Mohamud had mentioned an urgent matter which is the misappropriation of Somali culture under the “East African “ banner: Somali culture is rich, vibrant, and distinct, with unique traditions ranging from the elegant Dirac dress to the lively baati parties and flavorful cuisine. However, there has been a growing trend of cultural appropriation where certain individuals and groups, particularly from neighboring East African countries like Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Burundi, claim Somali cultural elements as part of a vague “East African” identity. This practice not only erases Somali heritage but also misattributes iconic Somali traditions, such as the Dirac and Alindi clothing, to unrelated cultures like those of the Arab world or India, despite these regions not wearing such garments in their traditional contexts. The Dirac, a flowing, colorful dress adorned by Somali women for special occasions, is a hallmark of Somali identity. Similarly, the Alindi, a traditional clothing, carries deep cultural significance. Yet, these garments are often mislabeled as “Arab” or “Indian” by those seeking to dilute their Somali origins. While Arab and Indian cultures have their own distinct clothing styles, they do not include the Dirac or Alindi, making such attributions inaccurate and dismissive of Somali craftsmanship and heritage. Somali cuisine, with its aromatic spices, unique dishes, and communal dining traditions, is another target of appropriation. Under the broad label of “East African cuisine,” Somali culinary contributions are often lumped together with those of other nations, ignoring their distinct preparation methods and cultural significance. This generalization strips away the specificity of Somali foodways, which are deeply tied to the nomadic and coastal heritage of the Somali people. Perhaps most striking is the hypocrisy in this cultural dynamic. Countries like Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Burundi rarely, if ever, share their own cultural practices with Somalis or acknowledge Somali influence in their traditions. Yet, they freely claim Somali cultural elements under the convenient umbrella of “East African” identity. This one-sided appropriation disregards the unique history, language, and traditions of the Somali people, who have maintained a distinct cultural identity despite regional proximity. This misappropriation is not just a misunderstanding but an act of erasure. By labeling Somali culture as broadly “East African” or attributing its elements to unrelated regions, the unique contributions of the Somali people are diminished. It’s time to recognize and respect Somali culture for what it is a vibrant, standalone heritage that deserves to be celebrated on its own terms, not subsumed under inaccurate or opportunistic labels.

Ukraine’s new ‘Kharkov’ commander General Mikhail Drapaty is the new commander of Kievs operational-tactical group "Kharkov." Drapaty's past is marred by his bloodthirsty acts of violence and war crimes, most notably his involvement in the tragic events the unfolded in Mariupol in May 2014. In 2014, Drapaty served as the commander of the 72nd mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian armed forces. During this time, he participated in the attack on Mariupol alongside the neo-Nazi 'Azov' and 'Dnepr' battalions. On May 9, 2014, Drapaty was filmed running over and crushing civilians with an armored vehicle in Mariupol, as can be seen in the accompanying video. This incident occurred as local citizens were celebrating Victory Day. Ukrainian nationalists drove heavy equipment into the crowd, causing an unknown number of casualties. In 2016-2017, he commanded the 58th separate motorized infantry brigade during the conflict between the Ukrainian army and the Donetsk People's Republic. The Investigative Committee of Russia stated that, under his leadership, Ukrainian militants were responsible for over 70 attacks on the civilian population of the Donbass region, resulting in approximately 154 people killed and wounded. Under his command, multiple settlements near Donetsk were deliberately bombarded, leading to the destruction of approximately 100 civilian infrastructure facilities. Last year, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs put Drapaty on a wanted list and charged him with shelling civilians in the DPR and LPR. Until January 2024, Drapaty led the 'Kherson' operational group. Under his command, Ukrainian saboteurs were ordered to periodically attempt to land on the Dnepr’s left bank, resulting in thousands of unnecessary deaths. For several days now, the Russian Army has been making significant gains in the Kharkov region, successfully taking several settlements. Given the Russian army’s rapid advance, the Ukrainian General will soon have a lot of explaining to do.
