I love this post because it shifts the narrative from hostilities to resilience. Somalis are an incredibly resilient people, and the people of SSC-Khatumo are as proudly #Somali as they come. Let the reconstruction continue. Let us initiate more development projects. Every region

Saaxiibayaal: Marka ay noqoto arrin cilmi gaar ah u baahan, hala dhageysto dadka u ehelka ah. Ninkaas Karar ahi aniga wuu icajabiyey. Waa dadka aan uga baahanahay in ay tababaro u furaan dhalinyara khayraadka batroolka inoo ilaalin doonta. #Somalia waa in ay soo saartaa

Thank you, Abdirizak, for reminding us of the great book on political economy by Acemoglo and Robinson (2012). 13 years after their assessment of the then #Somali's new system of inclusivity, their dire predictions hold. The key ingredient that makes inclusivity work to reduce

Friends: allow me to do one more bragging. I promise I will stop bragging after this. Tonight I was presented with the third Teaching Excellence Award for the school year of 2024-25. This is the CPA Teaching Excellence Award.

Thank you, Prof Samatar, for this insightful exposition. In your writing, you highlighted a crucial historical factor—the neoliberal structural adjustment programs imposed by the IMF and World Bank—that significantly disrupted the development trajectory of African countries.

Haha, Khadar. The quote "Those who can, do; those who can't, teach", first attributed to George Bernard Shaw’s 1905 play Man and Superman, still lingers today. Often repeated as a joke, it also serves to provoke deeper thought about the value of action versus contemplation. My

Friends: the story of the three Sheikh Nuuriye brothers, who happened to be ambassadors for three different countries (#Somalia, #Ethiopia, and #Djibouti) during the 1980s, is a testament to the impact of the colonial powers' arbitrary division of Somalis among several countries.

Honorable Ali Warsame, in this article, provides a great description of the current political situation in #Somalia. More importantly, he calls for an action to correct the trajectory and proposes an election plan that calls for divorcing local elections from the federal

Jamaalow: waad la gar naqsatay dawladda Maraykanka (#USA). Waana laga yaabaa in ay gar qaataan. You made powerful arguments against banning travel to the US with passports issued by those countries, who are majority Muslims. I hope the #Trump administration listens to you.

Asma Ibrahim Asma: waxa aan codsanaynaa saamaxaad, haddii aan nahay ragga Soomaaliyeed ee weliba da'dayda ah. Haa, markii aan madax noqon lahayn ayaa lanaga ciideeyey dawladnimadii. Anaguna waan bahalownay, in badan oo naga mid ahina magangalyo ayay aduunka ka raadsadeen, anaga oo weli bahalo

Saaxiibayaal. Beryahan hawl baa iga badatay oo doodii waan joojiyey. Woxogaa abaalarinadii iyo biladihii macalinimada ee sanadkan aan helayna waan u dabaaldegayey. Hadda ayaan bilaabayaa in aan dooda badiyo. Saacad ka dib waxa aan u dhoofayaa Hargeysa ilaa Boorama. Saddex

Saaxiibayaal. Hargeysa iyo Borama ba nabad baan ku gaadhay. Jeel iyo liin midna lama kulmin. Kaftan iyo dood adag wax dhaafsan ma arag. Siyaarada xubno qoyska ah iyo dugsiyadii aan wax ka bartay oo hadda qaar jaamacado noqdeen in aan siyaarto ayaa ii dhiman.

VoiceOfSomalia Marka aad hadalka sidaas u dhigto, waxaan dareemayaa in aan ku degdegay maamulka Cirro. Qof walba intiisa ayaa la sheegaaye, marna cid dawladda ahi iima hanjabin. Dhallinyaro aan jeclahay oo ila kaftama ayuun baa liinta xabsiga lagu cabayo ka hadlay. Anna waan ku kaftamay. Ha ii

Friends, I’ve just returned from a 20-day visit to #Mogadishu, #Hargeisa, and #Borama. Since 2016, I have been visiting Mogadishu at least once a year. However, this was my first trip back to Hargeisa and Borama since then. During this visit, I explored areas in Mogadishu—such as

Friends: one correction. Where I wrote 1996 (last time I visited Dayniile), I should have written 1986.
