Congratulations, Dr. Abdifitah Sugule, your successful #PhD defense on “Effectiveness of Decentralization on Education Service Delivery in #Puntland State of #Somalia” is an outstanding milestone. Wishing you continued success in your academic and professional journey!

1/ Puntland’s economy; like the wider Somalia economy; faces major constraints to growth. Let’s unpack the challenges and the way forward. 🧵

Prof Abdiwahab Sheikh Abdisamad’s comments are deeply disrespectful to all Somalis, particularly Puntlanders who have fought alone for years against ISIS. He dismissed the sacrifices of those defending their land without any evidence. Criticism is fine but false claim is unacceptable.

I completely agree with Prof Afyare A. Elmi, a candid look at what is happening in Somalia.

30-year-old Somali student Mustaf Mohammed Takoy was denied entry to Denmark despite a fully funded Erasmus Mundus scholarship at the University of Copenhagen, because Danish authorities do not recognise the Somali passport. He has appealed the decision.

I had the privilege of closely following and witnessing the incredible effort by Mustafa Osman Farah & 🇸🇴Afifawarsame. The IRIS Institute’s upcoming study on the ISIS in Somalia is a timely, powerful contribution to security research in Somalia and beyond.

إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ Ali Farah was a humble and dedicated professional, committed for over 20 years to state-building, reconciliation, and peace in Somalia esp in Puntland. May Allah grant him Jannah.

Big congrats to my brother Abdiaziz Golf on the new role and deep respect to Mohamed Dugoow for a job well done. Both true professionals.

Your journey doesn’t end here, Omar Fateh, it’s just the beginning. Somali pride 🙌
