๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ดEfforts to externally divide Somalia are moving in clear opposition to the social and political realities on the ground. The clashes that previously occurred in Las Anod did not bring stability to the former administration. Instead, they resulted in governance weaknesses, a loss of legitimacy, and political failure. Continuing a similar discourse today in Hargeisa would amount to nothing more than repeating the same mistake. Las Anodโ€™s decision to separate from Somaliland and declare its affiliation with the Federal Republic of Somalia is not merely a local decision. It constitutes a strategic response by the Somali people in favor of unity rather than fragmentation. Similar messages emerging from Awdal further demonstrate that this trend is structural rather than temporary. While external actors seeking to fragment Somalia remain active, the emergence of a strong willingness among significant segments of the Somali population to integrate into the central federal structure is noteworthy. What we are witnessing in Somalia today is the reversal of the classic โ€œdivide-and-ruleโ€ approach: divide, fragment, and reunify. In this context, the presence of the Somali President and Prime Minister, alongside Tรผrkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan, standing with the Somali people in Las Anod was not merely symbolic. It conveyed a clear message in support of Somaliaโ€™s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political unity. As it has in the past, Tรผrkiye will continue to stand by the will, unity, and sovereignty of the Somali people.

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ดDown the Money Lane๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ด In the 19th and early 20th centuries (as recently as the 1950s), Ethiopia, with the help of European colonizers, took control of a vast somali land known as Western #Somalia, or #Ogaden, now referred to as the Somali Region of #Ethiopia. In 1977-78, #Somalis from that region rose in revolt, and the government of Somalia came to their aid. Together, they liberated their land. At that time, Ethiopia was led by a Marxist-Leninist military regime. Somalis captured nearly all of their territory, and as the map shows, they were close to reaching Addis Ababa. The Warsaw Pact, led by the Soviet Union, then entered the war to support their client state and ally in the Horn of Africa. Against the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact forces, which included troops from Cuba and South Yemen, Somalia could not hold its ground and ultimately had to retreat. Yet, Somalis everywhere, including those who lived and still live under leaders like Abiy and other colonial figures, have never forgotten how their land was taken through treachery, and how, in reality, they remain colonized. Today, when Somalis hear external powers pushing Ethiopiaโ€™s agendas or offering โ€œwhataboutismโ€ in response to Ethiopiaโ€™s annexation and dismemberment schemes, they are reminded of past treachery and injustices. And when Abiy now speaks of seizing Somaliaโ€™s sea, Somalis conclude that conceding Western Somalia only whetted the colonial appetite. The song โ€œGalbeed waa la xoreeyeyโ€ (The West is Liberated) stands as one of the most powerful informal Somali anthems, declaring that the land is Somali land, and the struggle continues. It is sung by the revered band Waberi, led by the legendary Somali singer Hassan Adan Samatar. Lyrics: West, we have liberated, West, we have liberated, West, we have liberated. Warsaw has interfered, But the occupier will not sleep easy. The struggle continues, This is Somali land. The land! This is Somali land. We have won victory, We have won victory, We have won victory. Warsaw has interfered, But the occupier will not sleep easy. The struggle continues, This is Somali land. The land!

Dear President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre: When the Ethiopian Prime Minister posts fictitious mapsโ€”like the one he shared yesterdayโ€”claiming that Ethiopia owns or once owned parts of Somalia and Djibouti (something that has never happened in the last 3,000 years), your response should be immediate and factual. You should post accurate historical maps from credible sources showing when and how Somalia liberated its territories that were once under Ethiopian control. The same applies whenever others attack the country you lead. Your foremost duty is to defend the dignity, sovereignty, and reputation of the Somali state.

I've said this before and Iโ€™ll say it again โ€”thereโ€™s no such thing as โ€œSomali-Ethiopianโ€ or โ€œSomali-Kenyan.โ€ These are false, colonial-era identities created to uproot or disconnect the people from their ancestral native homeland. Somalis in Somalistate and NFD are simply Somali by nationality and identity. No extra label is needed. In your own country/land, you are simply who you are. Identity is tied to geography; your nationality should reflect your ancestral connection to the land, not the artificial borders created by colonial powers. I know some cows may ask, โ€œWhat about a Somali in America who calls themselves Somali-American?โ€ Thatโ€™s a completely different case. A Somali living in America or any country outside of NFD, Djibouti, Somalistate, & mainland Somalia is there through migration, not ancestral ownership. Because they are not native to those lands, it makes sense for them to adopt a hyphenated identity. However, a Somali living in their ancestral homeland does not need to add any foreign or colonial label. Their identity is already complete; they are Somali, in Somali-land. There's no need to mix two nationalities when you are native to your own. FYI: The name "Kenya" derived from Kenia; a Scottish ship that sailed early 1900s to Eastafrica. Meanwhile, "Ethiopia" is a derogatory term derived from ancient Greek, first used in the 8th century BC to describe Black North Africans; it literally means "burnt face." #Somalia #Mogadishu #Jigjiga #Garissa #SomaliIdentity #IAmSomali #African #Somaliweyn #OneSomaliNation #SomaliPride #Somalinimo #Mogadishu #SomaliRoots #HornOfAfricaNative #SomaliHistory #SomaliUnity

A THREAD 1/2 The secessionist narrative that Somaliland was a state in 1960 is false โ€” the historical record is clear. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” One of the most widely propagated yet concocted narratives promoted by secessionists in northern Somalia is the claim that two sovereign statesโ€” Somalia and Somaliland โ€” were created in 1960, and that one of them was later โ€œlostโ€ or โ€œgiven away.โ€ This is false. Completely false. The historical record showsโ€”clearly, repeatedly, and contemporaneouslyโ€”that only one state was intended, negotiated, and established, and that state was the Somali Republic. From Hargeisa to Mogadishu, from London to New York (including the UN), the destination was stated consistently and explicitly: the creation of the Somali Republic on 1 July 1960. More importantly, the people and leaders of northern Somalia were active architects of the Somali Republic. Crucially, they neither intended nor worked toward the creation of a separate Somaliland stateโ€” despite the persistent misinformation now circulated by secessionist actors. So pervasive has this disinformation become that, only days ago, even unionist politicians in Mogadishuโ€”some of whom hail from northern regionsโ€”repeated this claim as fact. What follows are nine hard proofs, drawn from primary documents and contemporaneous practice, demonstrating that no Somaliland state was created or โ€œlost.โ€ In 1960, everyone in Hargeisa was working toward the creation of one state: the Somali Republic. 1) Colonial labels were not states โ€œBritish Somaliland,โ€ โ€œItalian Somaliland,โ€ โ€œFrench Somaliland,โ€ the NFD, and the Ogaden were imperial administrative labelsโ€”not sovereign national projects. Across Somali territories in the late 1950s, the dominant political current was pan-Somali nationalism and decolonization, not fragmentation. 2) British Somaliland was a protectorate, not a state Under British law, Somaliland existed through protection treaties with Somali clans (1884โ€“1886). Britainโ€™s legal obligations were therefore to communities, not to a pre-existing sovereign โ€œSomaliland state.โ€ This mattered because protection could end only through a transition agreed by those communitiesโ€”and that transition was explicitly tied to independence followed by union. 3) Northern Somalis worked toward the Somali Republicโ€”amply documented In April 1960, the elected Legislative Council in Hargeisaโ€”the highest political authority under British ruleโ€”passed a resolution calling explicitly for independence and unification with Somalia on 1 July 1960. This is recorded in Hansard. There is no ambiguity. 4) The April 1960 Joint Communiquรฉ removes all doubt Between 16โ€“22 April 1960, senior Somaliland legislators traveled to Mogadishu and issued a Joint Communiquรฉ with their southern counterparts calling for the creation of a republic on 1 July 1960. It states: โ€œThe Territories of Somalia and the Somaliland Protectorate shall be united on July 1st, 1960โ€ฆ The new Somali Republic will be a unitary, democratic and parliamentary State.โ€ It further ordered the merger of the two legislatures into one National Assembly, the election of one President, the formation of one government, the designation of Mogadishu as the capital, and the creation of one national army. This is not the language of two states; it is the blueprint of one republic. 5) London understood the objective was union, not separation In the UK Parliament, the Prime Minister and the Colonial Secretary stated plainly that independence would be granted to the protected tribes of northern Somalia so that union could lawfully take place, acting on the โ€œdeclared wishesโ€ of Somalilandโ€™s elected leaders. Somalilandโ€™s โ€œindependenceโ€ was a legal bridgeโ€”not the destination. 6) Contemporary media reported union On 6 May 1960, The New York Times reported that Britain would grant independence to Somaliland โ€œso that it could unite with Somalia.โ€ No contemporary account described this as the birth of a separate enduring state.

Do you know about the Djiboutiโ€“Somalia proposal to Ethiopia, which aimed to persuade Ethiopia not to recognise Somaliland? This proposal is said to have prompted Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Ismaรฏl Omar Guelleh to request two meetings (and a third involving Djibouti) within three months. The proposal allegedly involved withdrawing and rearranging the borders in the Horn of Africa among the three countries. Under this plan: - Djibouti would become a fully Somali country, gaining land from Sitti, Harawo, and Awdal (covering all Issa and Gadabuursi territories). - Ethiopia would receive the Afar regions of Djibouti, giving it access to the sea. - The Hawd, Reserved Area, and Ogaden would be returned to Somaliland, which would then be forced to join Somaliaโ€™s military. In their view, everyone would gain something. The proposal reportedly leaked to the media and has been implicitly mentioned by Abubakar Baale at the UN and by Osoble on Facebook. It is also said to be linked to the maps attached to the โ€œXeet Ciiseโ€ submission to UNESCO, which was allegedly approved by Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Somalia.

A 70-year-old, born in Somalia and educated in Somaliaโ€™s taxation system, has expressed regret about not being fully recognized as he is not from Somalia, which means he is not Somali. A video went viral on social media during a live stream, in which a top influencer, IShowSpeed, asked if he look like Somali. The response was: โ€œNo way, I actually look Somalian.โ€ He added, โ€œIf I were Somali, it would be a great twist of my life,โ€ meaning that becoming Somali would be shocking & surprising unexpected change in his life story. Speed genuinely admires Somali identity. Many Africans, and even Europeans and Asians, respect Somalia and would be proud to become Somali citizens or hold a Somali passport. In the West, Somali people are often perceived differently compared to other African groups, such as South Africans. A secessionist in Hargeisa once said: โ€œWe were massacred by the Siad Barre regime in our quest for recognition. That didnโ€™t work. They brought another form of madness and claimed we are not from Somalia. However, a single clan enclave cannot define a country. For example, the Isaaq clan is relatively small; if they were to stand separately, they would be a minority. Currently, they are included within the Dir, making them the third-largest clan in Somalia."

Many Somali social media influencers constantly claim that the Somali National Army units trained by Tรผrkiye come from only one clan. But reality tells a different story. Here are two Somali soldiers who graduated from the Turkish Military Academy โ€” one from Laascaanood in the North Eastern regions of Somalia, and another, Mubaarak, from South West State. The picture speaks louder than the noise online. The Turkish-trained Somali forces are drawing recruits from different parts of the country, not from a single community. In a nation long divided by clan lines, institutions like military academies are slowly creating something Somalia has struggled to build for decades: a professional national identity. The internet loves simple narratives. Reality is usually more complicated โ€” and more interesting.

This is confirmation from Dr. Baxar, the leader of the Awdal State Movement, that Hassan Sheikh the president of #Somalia has handed over and sent the case of #Awdal to another country, #Djibouti while there tension with #Ethiopia Both the Djibouti and Somali governments prioritize removing Muuse Biixi from the presidency through peaceful and electoral means. I can understand the position of Djibouti (I have written many times that it is a country whose existence depends on the crisis in Somalia, benefiting from Somalia not being settled, Somaliland not being recognized, Awdal not having political independence, and Ethiopia not having sea access). What cannot be explained and will be left for history is the decision of Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Handing over the case of Awdal to another country is nothing but national betrayal, and it will be marked down in

STAGED PIRACY: HOW WESTERN MEDIA USED KENYANs, ETHIOPIANs, AND OTHER AFRICANS AS ACTORS TO DEFAME SOMALIA AND SEIZE ITS SEAS. Since the mid-2000s, we have been exposed to various images and reports on television regarding what has emerged as a significant global concern labeled "Somali pirates." However, are you aware that this stories was orchestrated to deceive the world and exploit Somali waters? If you are not; I encourage you to watch and read the article so to learn from the actors themselves. Those orchestrators who financed the derogatory narratives aimed at discrediting Somalia have vested interests in Somali waters, driven by a mix of economic and strategic motivations. Notably, organizations such as #CNN, #BBC, #DW, #Nytimes, #TheIndependent, #DanishMagazine, along with various Western NGOs, enlisted individuals from Kenya, Ethiopia, and the islands of East Africa to portray and act as Somali pirates. It was a project part of a broader strategy to damage Somalia's reputation and secure dominance over its waters and the Indian Ocean. The cows used for the act were driven by few pennies from these big criminal organizations. In their guise as "Somali pirates", the cows even took on Somali names like "Bashir, Adan, Osman, Jama, Rashid" etc. as part of the play, though non of them are even Somali. Additionally, as they will proof, non of them ever been to Somalia or even learned where it is in the geography map. #PiracyPlay #Media #Kenya #Ethiopia #Somalisea #redsea #USAID #Africa #EastAfrica #Somalipeninsula

Some of the remarks made by H.E. Abdulkadir Ahmed Aw-Ali (Firdhiye), President of Northern Eastern Region State of Somalia, during the Heritage Institute forum conference of today at Dhusamareb, Galmudug State of Somalia. President Firdhiye emphasized that the political and security crisis is caused by secessionist groups, not by the people of the entire northern region. Some inaccuracies in the statements made by speakers at the conference were corrected regarding the "Northern Region (Somaliland)" in that the territories that were unionists, like Northern East, were aware of the dangers of secession very early in 1991 itself. Since then, the people in these areas have labored assiduously for the establishment of governance structures and against the secessionist constituents in reconciliation and political conferences such as Boocame I and II in early 1993. President Firdhiye admitted the damage inflicted on the secessionist areas by the previous central government but emphasized that these are not victims of the Somali people. On the contrary, they are victims of a flawed system of governance, which in any case has affected to the whole of Somali people. He also added that he is a victim of this secessionists project. He cited the barbaric and indiscriminate attacks committed in Laascaanood in 2023. President Firdhiye made it very clear that the sovereignty and existence of Somalia are not in danger, but already badly affected and need joint efforts for their reinstatement. #somalia #National #unity

From Mogadishu to Beledweyne by land, from Mogadishu to Baidoa, and from Mogadishu to Jilib, the headquarters of Al-Shabaab, the momentum is clear: thanks to air support from the Turkeyn army and the United States forces, Somali boys are pushing forward on the ground while also learning and mastering tactical skills in drone warfare; according to regional intelligence agencies, including those in Ethiopia and Kenya, around 45% of Al-Shabaab fighters currently come from outside Somalia, showing that Al-Shabaab is not only a danger to Somalia but a threat to the wider world, with recruitment drastically increasing when Israel signals recognition of part of Somalia, also known as "Somaliland."

People who advocate for the soโ€‘called โ€œunity of all Somaliโ€‘language speakersโ€ are, in reality, overwhelmingly drawn from marginalized communities in eastern #Ethiopia and northern #Kenyaโ€”populations who speak #Somali but have historically been treated as secondโ€‘class citizens in those states. There is no legal system anywhere in the world that allows citizens of three separate countries to claim automatic citizenship in one of these three states simply because they share a language. This distorted interpretation is one of the most troubling and intellectually shallow arguments advanced by some of the most corrupt and least informed voices. Its realโ€‘world outcome is visible in the forty years of state failure that #Somalia continues to endure. It is also a matter of historical record that those who carried out genocide and ethnic cleansing against people who co-found the Republic of Somalia in 1960 (#Somaliland civilians) included large numbers โ€” an estimated 65% โ€” from Somaliโ€‘Kenyan and Ethiopianโ€‘Somali communities who were integrated into the former Somali military dictatorship. My response to you, Abdisalam Guled, is best captured in the words of our Queen, #AsmaDaus, who reminded us that dignity begins with truth, not with political fantasies imposed on others.

This is General Abdullahi Ali Caanood, the spokesperson for the Somali Ministry of Defense declaring to mobilize insurgency groups within Somaliland, Jigjiga, and Godey. I am not going to provide word for word translation but in a concise summary of his statement, General Caanood revealed that they have initiated contact with former Somali soldiers in Hargeisa, Awdal, Jigjiga, and Godey, aiming to instigate insurgency activities from within. Additionally, he says efforts have been made to recall ex-Somali army members residing in the diaspora to return and join. When questioned about how a war with Somaliland/Ethiopia is realistic, he mentioned his men are going to utulize speed boats provided by EU Delegation Somalia and Arab countries to launch attacks on Zeila, a coastal city in Somaliland's Awdal region, with the intent of disrupting the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Somaliland and Ethiopia. And If you do not know about General Caanood, he is a Somali military general and ally of president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Gen. Caanood is also the brother of hardline cleric "Sheikh Mustafa Ali Caanood" who recently announced a fatwa "authorizing the killing of Sufi followers in Mogadishu". To add to this. On 27 Nov 2023, EU Council said it had adopted an assistance measure worth โ‚ฌ1 million to support the Somali National Army with military equipment designed to deliver lethal force (Statement: My humble question with a concern: Are the taxpayers of European Commission European Parliament European External Action Service - EEAS ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ aware of this?

Video shows "Minnesota" children talking about how Somalia is the best country in the world | Harris Rigby, Not The Bee Who remembers the "Great American Melting Pot"? Where people from all over the world can come to America, bring parts of their culture, and become true Americans? Yeah, so that's a lie. It may have been true in the past, but here is Minnesota 2026 during the week of America's 250th Birthday: Somalia is the best! Somalia is the best thing in the world! We love Somalia and we don't care what you think about us. I love Somalia ... anything in the world. Donald Trump does not judge us. You'd think folks who fled Somalia, settled in America, and benefit in a million ways from their new country might instill a little bit of American pride in their children. But it's all Somali pride. A million little Ilhan Omars. These kids may not have ever set foot in Somalia; they're just as American as George Washington after all. But they sure do love Somalia more than they do America. The absolute state of Minnesota right now: The man who oversaw this takeover almost became VP of the United States, by the way.

Djibouti is the graveyard of Pan-Somalism, where the Free Republic of Somalia was buried. The Arta process gave birth to the Third Republic, which shattered the hopes of the displaced Somali people. Djibouti is the first place to seize land from free Somalis both Somaliland and Somalia and it works directly with Somalia to take territory from Somaliland. The so-called Issa Charter (Xeerka Ciise) was a plan designed to tell the Issa that they were no longer a clan but a nation, in order to mobilize them for war and use them as a tool to seize land from the Somali state. Meanwhile, the Issa themselves lost their own land, with the direct involvement of Issa leaders. The Prime Minister of Ethiopia declared in Dire Dawa that it is an Oromo city the first time an Ethiopian prime minister has ever publicly made such a statement. Likewise, the land long disputed between the Afar and the Issa remains under Afar control to this day. These developments took place during the era of Aden Farah, now the deputy to Abiy Ahmed, who handed Dire Dawa to the Oromo. Similarly, former regional vice-president Abdi Illey relinquished Afar land. The Issa Charter and the mobilization of the Issa used by Djibouti to seize land from free Somalis were jointly coordinated by President Hassan Sheikh, Ismail Omar Guelleh, and Mustafa Cagjar, in cooperation with the Somali ambassador to Ethiopia. The Issa traditional leader, who remained silent about Dire Dawa being handed to the Oromo and about the loss of Afar land, instead spoke in Zeila, calling on all Issa to mobilize and move wherever necessary to fight. The objective is clear: Issa land inside Ethiopia is being taken away, while the Issa are being pushed to serve Djiboutiโ€™s agenda of acquiring other Somali lands.
