what a true statement and relevant facts about my people. Unfortunately professor Samatar and other academics and intellectuals like him have not been given a chance to play any role in our nation and yet we desperately need their contributions

I'm afraid I have to disagree with the Professor on extracting the two prominent groups out of Somali politics. During hard days of colocalization and the rise of Somali Nationalism, poets & religious philosophers were the one's vanguard and sensitized the nation to seek freedom.

Nationalism based solely on Somali as its core identitity has clearly failed. No amount of clerics or cultural figures can revive it. Mr Prof. Somalia as nation state is clearly not what majority of populace want. Face reality!!! All should go their separate ways

Why don’t seculars accept only Islam in all its forms, both political and spiritual, is the answer not only for Somalis who have been in a state of chaos for centuries, but all humanity. Mankind can only unite and achieve success in both worlds by submitting to the will of Allah

Someone needs to stop this idiot from linking Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s corruption to the campaign targeting Somalis in Minneapolis. This man is so unhinged that he literally wrote a thank-you message to Trump for targeting Somalis as an entire community in Minnesota. There is not a single piece of evidence that the group involved in the Minnesota fraud case had any connection to the Somali government. These were ordinary individuals, and part of the money was used to purchase assets inside the United States and abroad in places such as Kenya. The U.S. government even recovered part of these funds in cooperation with the Kenyan government. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud does not need money stolen from the U.S. government. He already profits from looting public lands in Somalia, benefiting from projects run by international organizations in the country, auctioning off a large number of Somali embassy properties abroad, and signing exploitative oil and resource contracts that are harmful to Somalia but personally profitable for him. Dr. Abib himself was one of the people who voted to install the current Somali president, widely seen as one of the most corrupt leaders Somalia has ever had, if not one of the most corrupt in Africa. So he should stop the hypocrisy. He helped create the disaster unfolding in Somalia and now pretends to be exposing corruption. This idiot needs to stop spreading false information on Zionist platforms that manufacture narratives to push their agenda in Somalia.

I uncovered a February 2025 video from Liberal MP Yvan Baker, MP 🇨🇦🇺🇦, who introduced a private member's bill to make July Somalia Heritage Month. He says he has "the privilege of representing one of the largest Somali communities in Canada and one of the largest communities outside Somalia." He also says that he is "ensuring that the Government of Canada does all it can to support the people of Somalia." Baker made this video for the "Restore Somalia Foundation," an organization based in Canada that operates in Somalia. He describes it as a "diaspora organization" like the multiple others he says he assists with. He says: "I'd like to thank the Somali youth from the diaspora, born in Canada, who volunteer through the Restore Somalia Foundation that are taking part in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals. You are our future." He adds: "Your participation also highlights the important role that members of the diaspora and diaspora-led organizations play in building a brighter future for the people of Somalia." Yvan Baker is a Canadian Member of Parliament elected to represent Canadians, yet he appears more focused on representing Somali interests.

Rod Dreher says woke was evil because it helped create White identity politics, a common refrain among Conservatives. Only Dreher lives in the White ethnostate of Hungary and works for a think tank that was funded by its ethnonationalist government. For years Dreher has been celebrating and enjoying the benefits of living in a White ethnostate, but he tells people they are evil if they want to make their country more like Hungary. I think in protest of the White identity politics he despises Dreher should give away the salary he earned from the Danube Institute.

Ibrahim Traoré responded to Trump and told him that #Somalis are brave and resilient people who have been beaten, not “garbage.” The problem is not the #Somalis—the problem is the ignorance of you, Trump, who doesn’t even know how to address or respect a community under you, people who fled their troubled homeland. Traoré said that if you think no one in the world will respond to the injustice and targeting you’ve carried out against #Somalis living in Minneapolis, he is the one answering you, and they stand united. #Somalis work hard and contribute; if you call them otherwise, it is a lie. #Somalis are among the most industrious communities living in or migrating to the United States. They even send #money to their families in #Somalia; if you accuse them otherwise, it’s false. The money they send comes from their own hard-earned work, on which you have collected #taxes. Traoré gave the response that Somalia leaders didn’t dare to give, while safeguarding a small financial interest in the U.S. that he used to benefit from, but recently even #abandoned.

“Rwandans have values, there is no question about it in fact, that to an extent explains the problem the world has. There are people in some parts of the world, who think they are the only ones who have values, and their values must be conformed to by others, which I personally feel insulted by and could not accept, can’t accept it, it is not true. How would you measure that? Better in what sense? So, with the Rwandan values and even with the efforts to try and integrate your own values with other people’s values so that it is broadened, you look at it in a global context the way it should be. The governance of the country, the politics of the country ordinarily should reflect the values of that society. The RPF was born, for things to go back to the right order, the politics must be bringing back the unity of the country so that we are no longer divided by ethinic groups but rather the integration of that by national unity.” Chairman Kagame | Interaction with Content Creators at Mulindi.

This is Major General Dahir Aden Indha Qarshe, a distinguished Somalian military leader and former Chief of the Somalia Army, in this clip he shared a poignant reflection on the role of Somaliland in the 1977 war between Somalia and Ethiopia. In 1977 war between Somalia and Ethiopia General Elmi led an armored Somali National Army (SNA) battalions in the Qabri Dahare Front. In his account, General Qarshe emphasizes the critical and sacrificial role played by the people of Somaliland during this conflict. During the war, the proximity of Somaliland to the frontlines meant that the region bore the brunt of the conflict's devastation. The hospitals in Hargeisa were inundated with casualties, and the local population went to extraordinary lengths to assist the injured. General Qarshe recounts how Somalilanders, driven by a profound sense of Somali nationalism, not only provided medical care but also opened their homes to the wounded soldiers. He observed that the people of Somaliland demonstrated an unparalleled dedication to the cause of Somali unity, going so far as to sell their properties and livestock to support the war effort. He recalls that the civilians' cars were even repurposed for military use. In his emotional reflection, General Qarshe recalls a visit to a hospital in Hargeisa where he was moved to tears by the sight of how the injured soldiers were treated with more care and compassion than they had ever experienced in their own regions. This, he notes, was a testament to the genuine patriotism and sacrifice of the Somaliland people. Tragically, despite their immense sacrifice, the people of Somaliland faced horrific repercussions after the war's conclusion. Following the defeat of Somalia, the Somalilanders were subjected to brutal repression and violence. The very soldiers they had cared for and treated, as well as the airplanes used for the war effort, turned against them. The ensuing genocide led to the loss of over a quarter of a million Somaliland lives, illustrating the depth of animosity harbored by the Somali government towards Somaliland. Today, the people of Somaliland have learned from their harrowing experiences. They have become wary of deceptive appeals to "Somalism" and patriotic fervor that once led to their suffering. The lessons of the past have strengthened their resolve to protect their own interests and maintain their independence, ensuring that they are no longer deceived by false promises of unity and patriotism. That’s why the people of Somaliland decided to reclaim their independence and today proudly have their own nation, The Republic of Somaliland—a nation that wants nothing to do with Somalia. We have resolved never to share anything with Somalia again; we have learned our lesson well.

AP Hon'ble Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan emphasized that the Constitution and the law must be applied uniformly across all religions, criticizing what he described as “appeasement politics.” He stated that Hindu beliefs should receive the same respect afforded to other faiths.He noted that Hindus are diverse divided by caste, region, and language which makes the idea of a unified majority misleading. He urged Hindus to respond firmly whenever their religious sentiments are undermined. He also commended the current TTD Board and the government for taking decisive action against irregularities in temple administration. He questioned the inconsistency in political reactions to incidents involving different religions and alleged that certain state governments exhibit bias against Hindus. He concluded by calling for maturity in distinguishing criticism of individuals from criticism of religions and reiterated the need to restore traditional cultural depictions in the Constitution.

“I want to tell Somalis that we are another state that has joined the Somali people” says Irro. A “new state” cannot emerge from dismantling Somali unity and history. He says Somaliland can help Somalia. How about number 1, stop relations with UAE & Israel come to the negotiation table. As Irro admits, Somaliland’s people are Somali, the land is Somali & the struggle for Somaliweyn was built with the blood and sacrifices of northerners as much as southerners. You cannot separate yourself from your own blood, history, language & identity while still claiming the Somali name. Our vision is trying to unite the Somali people, from Djibouti to Jigjiga to Garissa. Not create more division ⤵️

This is not a time for partisan politics. It's a moment for collective resolve to ensure justice for those who lost their lives and for their grieving families by bringing the perpetrators to justice. Among the list of victims were: Shri Manjunath from Chikmagalur. Shri Bharat Bhushan from Bengaluru. I spoke to both the wives of the deceased, Pallavi and Sujata, this morning. They are at present safe, but they are worried about the future. I spoke to the KPCC, and the Cabinet has deputed Labour Minister Santosh Lad. He said that he met two members of the family and their children. He also met nearly 200 tourists from Karnataka there in various hotels and arranged flights to return to Bangalore. I have also requested J&K CM Umar Abdullah to make arrangements for those who are not in touch with their respective states. Yesterday night, I spoke to our Home Minister; he promised me that he will take care of all those people. I offer my deepest condolences to the families of the deceased and their loved ones in the tragic incident. The summer season has started, and tourists have started visiting the region. Tourism is also the biggest source of income for Jammu and Kashmir. They are dependent on that income. But due to this attack, Shri Omar Abdullah has told me that this year the economy has collapsed. The Government of India is ruling there, as it's a Union Territory, still not declared as a state. So the response would be from the Government of India. In this moment, we are all one with the government. Together we have to fight. Whosoever we are fighting against—whether it is terrorists or other agencies—we will be one together to protect the country and its unity and integrity. : Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge

A generational challenge for the young people of Rwanda 1. Acknowledge the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi was wrong, should never have happened, no justification for it is acceptable civil discourse 2. Nurture a collective consciousness around the genocide, as a means of preventing recurrence. This consciousness should not be in words only; it should be in actions too 3. Understand that genocide happened because Rwandans were divided; as a result, unity is the anti-dote against recurrence. The pursuit of unity is not for its own sake; it has a practical objective 4. Building a country never ends, it’s eternal. We build it better and faster only when united. We destroy it faster than we can build it when divided. 5. You can choose the identity you want; but if the goal is unity (the requirement for building the country) then the identity of unity that we have is the Rwandan identity. We know the destruction that came from the identities of Hutu and Tutsi. 6. Good thing is that identity is what you choose to be. I have a story. A Burundian researcher asked families of Rwandan and Burundians who were alive during colonial rule. He asked the husband “what is your identity?” The husband responded “we are of the Gisaka identity,” referring to one of the regions in pre colonial society; others said they are Abagesera, Abanyenduga, and so on. He asked “what is the identity of your children?” The father said, “they are Hutus.” The perplexed researcher then asked, “how is it possible that you do not have the same identity as your children?” The father said, “those ones were born during the colonial period!” 7. So young people don’t have to use the excuse of taking their parents’ identity that meant destruction when they can choose an alternative that can lead them to the future they want. 8. The choice is there for young people to make; but the right choice will not happen on its own by accident. It must be a deliberate pursuit. Young people must exercise their agency and let their youthfulness come to bear in actively creating that country of their dreams!

This issue has been festering for years. It traces back to the early 1990s, when Mahathir Mohamad began mainstreaming political Islam into the system. He used it to challenge PAS, lost the game and now a permanent part of the nation's body politic. Moral policing is the most visible expression of political Islam in practice: using the power of the state and peer pressure to enforce Islamic norms, in this case dress codes, so that Muslims (and, indirectly, non-Muslims) are compelled to live according to "Islamic standards" in public spaces. For Muslims, religion is no longer the private space. The people viciously attacking Bella online are often the same individuals who privately consume large amounts of porn, especially Asian and Indonesian porn. In public, they project an image of pious, devout Muslims, hoping others will look up to them and to conform to what the state wants. In private, their behaviour is the complete opposite. This is classic identity politics enabled and encouraged by the political environment the state has created. They assert their Islamic identity by publicly shaming others, while living with little regard for the moral standards they demand from everyone else. I agree with Harith that this behaviour is unacceptable. Unfortunately, it will not stop and it is likely to get worse. As long as Muslim politicians and religious leaders continue to weaponise identity politics with Islam at its core, these public displays of outrage will intensify. The ultimate irony, of course, is that corruption and watching porn are quietly tolerated, as long as one isn’t caught. That is the hypocrisy at the heart of this brand of identity politics. #MoralPolicing #Malaysia #IdentityPolitics #PoliticalIslam

Which a lot of people find distasteful and unpleasant.. Full of lies, racism and misogyny and so forth" "The Democrats have to look deep to see how they managed to lose this" "Trump has combined populism, polarisation, post truth politics, in a way that has made a lot of people motivated by it, comfortable with it, and feeling that he offers them something the other side doesn't" "This is going to affect politics right across the world..

Tucker Carlson lectures Somalis while standing on the legacy of his father, a U.S. official who was involved in Cold War policies that helped destabilize Somalia and who actively reported and circulated CIA propaganda and fabricated narratives about the country at the time. After the damage was done, he now shows up to moralize and mock the consequences, and to add insult to injury, he goes even further by attempting to dehumanize Somalis in the United States, a community that arrived recently and has since established itself across every field. Listen to the episode again and you will reach one conclusion only. He serves as a mouthpiece for an elite embedded within state institutions, an elite that believes in white supremacy and is deeply unsettled by Somali participation in American politics.

🇸🇴🇺🇸 SOMALI WOMAN ON MINNESOTA FRAUD: “SOMALIS SHOULD BE APPLAUDED AND CELEBRATED FOR BRINGING CLOUT AND MONEY TO THIS RANDOM MIDWESTERN STATE” After the explosion of the massive daycare fraud in Minnesota, a Somali is firing back, saying Somalis should be thanked for making the state successful. She says Trump is wrong to attack them, and claims the Somali community brought money, “clout,” and business to a place no one cared about before. She even joked that Minnesota should be donated to Somalia, saying they’ve done more for the state than anyone else. "You should be thanking us for being so successful. Somalis should be applauded and celebrated for bringing clout and money to this random Midwestern state. Minnesota would be nothing without us. If you want, you can donate Minnesota to the great country of Somalia. We made that state pop and we made it beautiful for the rest of the world. We’re actually winning the war."
