Jigjiga (Caasimada Online) – Cabdikariin Sheekh Muuse (Qalbi-dhagax) ayaa maanta loo doortay hoggaanka sare ururka ONLF, kadib kulan ka dhacay magaalada Jigjiga ee xarunta ismaamulka Soomaalida, Itoobiya oo ay isugu yimaadeen xubnaha ururka.

Intaas kadib, Cabdikariin Qalbi-dhagax oo ahaa ku xigeenka guddoomiyaha ayaa loo doortay xilkan isaga oo sii hoggaamin doono ONLF ilaa laga gaarayo shirweynaha guud. Sidoo kale ururka ayaa hoosta ka xariiqay in mowqifkiisa uu weli sidiisii yahay, uuna taageersan yahay heshiiskii nabadeed ee 2018-kii, kaas oo ay ku tilmaameen tiirka nabadda iyo xasilloonida gobolka, gaar ahaan ismaamulka deegaanka Soomaalida. Qalb-dhagax oo ah sarkaal sare oo ka tirsan ururka ONLF ayaa lagu xasuustaa sida uuu ugu dagaalamay ururkan, iyada oo xittaa mar dhexe ay dowladdii uu hoggaaminayay Farmaajo ay u dhiibtay Itoobiya, arrintaas oo dhalisay walaac xoogan, waxaana mar dambe uu dib u helay xoriyaddiisa, kadib isbeddallo ka dhacay dalka Itoobiya. Isbeddalka haatan lagu sameeyay hoggaanka sare ee ONLF ayaa kusoo aadayo, xilli ay hadda xiisad xoogan kala dhexeyso maamulka Madaxweyne Mustafe Cagjar oo ay isku hayaan arrimaha maamulka ee dowlad deegaanka Soomaalida, Itoobiya.

Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Dhaqdhaqaaq aan horay loo arag oo ay qabteen dayax-gacmeedyo sirdoon oo caalami ah ayaa laga dareemay xeebaha Soomaaliya, taas oo dhalisay walaac sii kordhaya oo ku saabsan barnaamijka hawada sare ee Turkiga ee si xawli ah u kobcaya. Sida lagu sheegay warbixin kasoo baxday Intelligence Online, oo ah hay’ad sirdoon oo fadhigeedu yahay Faransiiska, dayax-gacmeedyo casri ah oo ay leeyihiin shirkadda Maraykanka ah ee Maxar, kooxda Faransiiska ah ee Airbus Defence and Space, iyo shirkadda Shiinaha ee Changguang Satellite Technology, ayaa si joogto ah ula socday laba goobood oo gaar ah oo ku yaalla gudaha Soomaaliya. “Tirada badan ee sawirrada la qaaday” ayaa si cad u muujinaysa in dadaal xooggan lagu bixinayo la socodka dhaqdhaqaaqyada ka dhacaya goobahaas. Falanqaynta Intelligence Online ayaa tilmaamaysa in mid ka mid ah goobahaas, oo ku taalla xeebta magaalada Kismaayo, loo maleynayo inuu yahay saldhig sahayda lagu kaydiyo. Goobta labaad, oo ku taalla meel ku bannaanka Jamaame ee dhanka koonfur-bari balse xigta dhinaca xeebta, ayaa loo arkaa inay tahay halka laga dhisayo saldhigga hawada sare ee Turkiga – mashruuc uu Madaxweynaha Turkiga, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, ku dhawaaqay bishii November ee la soo dhaafay. Inkasta oo dowladdu ay dhowr toddobaad kadib si rasmi ah u xaqiijisay mashruuca, haddana lama sheegin faahfaahin ku saabsan halka ama goorta la dhisayo saldhigga. Intelligence Online waxay rumaysan tahay in kormeerayaashan caalamiga ah ay haatan iyagu si gaar ah u ogaadeen xogtaas. Jamaame oo si gaar ah loola socdo Kormeerka xooggan ee dayax-gacmeedyada caalamiga ah ay si gaar ah u diiradda saareen bannaanada Jamaame ayaa si weyn u muujinaya in halkaasi ay tahay goobta loo asteeyay saldhigga hawada sare ee Turkiga. Tani waxay la jaanqaadaysaa hadalkii Madaxweyne Erdoğan, waxayna dhalinaysaa su’aalo muhiim ah oo la xiriira saameynta istiraatiijiyadeed ee xarun noocaas ah ku yeelan karto Geeska Afrika oo ah gobol xasaasi ah. Daba-galka joogtada ah ee ay sameeyeen quwadaha waaweyn ee dunida ayaa muujinaya heerka walaaca ay ka qabaan waxa Turkigu ka wado gobolka, iyo sida ay ugu baahan yihiin in si dhab ah loo fahmo ujeedada iyo qorshihiisa dhabta ah ee mashruuca. Saldhigga dayax-gacmeedka ka sokow, Intelligence Online waxay sheegtay in yoolalka istiraatiijiyadeed ee Turkiga ay sidoo kale ku wajahanyihiin horumarinta awoodda difaaca. Sida lagu sheegay xogtii hore, Ankara waxay muujisay inay dooneyso saldhig madax-bannaan oo dayax-gacmeedyo laga tuuro oo ku dhow dhul-baraha. Iyadoo Soomaaliya ay leedahay “muuqaal si toos ah ugu furan Badweynta Hindiya,” warbixintu waxay tilmaamaysaa in dalka uu yahay “goob istiraatiiji ah” oo ku habboon saldhig noocaas ah. Qorshahan ayaa la mid ah kan Talyaaniga oo raba inuu dib u furo saldhiggiisii hore ee Kenya, iyo xiisaha Sacuudigu ka qabo saldhigga Duqm ee dalka Cumaan. Sidoo kale, warbixintu waxay xustay in Turkigu “uusan ku koobnayn oo keliya dhismaha saldhigga dayax-gacmeedka.” Ankara waxay sidoo kale raadineysaa “goob ku habboon oo ay ka dhisto xarun lagu tijaabiyo gantaallo waaweyn oo masaafado fog fog u duula.” Dhismaha juqraafiyeed ee Turkiga ayaa ka dhigaya tijaabooyinkaasi kuwo adag in la sameeyo – waxaana si fudud ula socon kara quwado kale – maadaama gantaalladu ay u duuli karaan dhanka Badda Midhiterranean ama Badda Madow. Dhanka kale, dhulka baaxadda leh ee Soomaaliya oo dad yari ku nool yihiin ayaa bixinaya jawi aad u habboon oo lagu sameeyo tijaabooyin noocaas ah, iyada oo laga fogaado meelaha si weyn loo deggan yahay, isla markaana laga yaabo inay yaraato indho-indheynta caalamiga ah marka la joogo marxaladaha ugu muhiimsan ee tijaabada.

Addis-Ababa (Caasimada Online) – Safiirka Israa’iil u fadhiya Itoobiya ayaa laga saaray kulan uu qabanaye Midowga Afrika toddobaadkan, arrintaas oo uu ku tilmaamay mid liddi ku ah sharafkiisa. Mas’uul Israa’iili ah oo la hadlay wakaaladda wararka Associated Press Arbacadii ayaa sheegay in safiirka laga saaray xafladda sannadlaha ah ee lagu xusayo xasuuqii Rwanda ee 1994, kaddib codsi uu bixiyay guddoomiyaha Guddiga Fulinta Midowga Afrika, Maxamuud Yuusuf Cali, oo ka soo jeeda Jabuuti. “Guddoomiyaha cusub ee Guddiga Midowga Afrika wuxuu doortay inuu madasha kusoo daro arrimo siyaasadeed oo ka dhan ah Israa’iil,” ayuu yiri safiirka Israa’iil, Avraham Nigusse, oo Talaadadii ku baahiyay hadalkan baraha bulshada. Waxa uu intaas ku daray in dhacdadani “muujinayso faham la’aan qoto dheer oo laga qabo taariikhda dadka Rwanda iyo Yuhuudda,” isagoo xusay in uu casuumaad rasmi ah ka helay dowladda Rwanda. Afhayeen u hadlay Maxamuud Yuusuf Cali, oo hore u ahaan jiray wasiirka arrimaha dibadda ee Jabuuti, kama jawaabin codsiyo dhowr ah oo la xiriiray faallo laga sugayay. Maxamuud ayaa xilka guddoomiyaha Guddiga Midowga Afrika la wareegay bishii Febraayo, isagoo mudda-xileedkiisu yahay afar sano. Diblomaasi ka tirsan Midowga Afrika oo la hadlay warbaahinta Arbacadii ayaa sheegay in safiirka Israa’iil laga saaray munaasabadda maadaama aysan hadda haysan xubinimadii “goobjooge” ee hay’adda, taasoo xarunteedu tahay Addis Ababa, caasimadda Itoobiya. Isra’iil waxay dib u heshay maqaamka goobjooge ee Midowga Afrika sanadkii 2021, labaatan sano kaddib markii laga qaaday, sababo la xiriiray khilaafkeeda kala dhaxeeya Falastiiniyiinta. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, sannadkii 2023 ayaa mar kale la hakiyay, iyadoo arrintaas loo gudbiyay guddi madaxda Afrika ka kooban si dib u eegis loogu sameeyo. Guddigaasi weli ma uusan soo saarin go’aan kama dambeys ah. Bishii Febraayo ee sannadkii hore, diblomaasi sare oo Israa’iili ah ayaa sidoo kale laga saaray shir-madaxeedkii Midowga Afrika, kaddib markii lagu helay inuusan haysan aqoonsi rasmi ah oo u oggolaanaya ka qeybgalka. Midowga Afrika wuxuu xiriir dhow la leeyahay Falastiiniyiinta, iyadoo madaxda Falastiin marar badan lagu casuumo inay khudbado ka jeediyaan shirarka waaweyn ee ururka. Bishii hore, Israa’iil waxay jebisay xabbad-joojin waxayna dib u billowday duullaankeeda milatari ee Gaza. Wasaaradda Caafimaadka ee Gaza ayaa sheegtay in in ka badan 50,000 oo Falastiiniyiin ah lagu dilay dagaalka, tan iyo weerarkii ay kooxda Xamaas ku qaaday Israa’iil 7-dii Oktoobar 2023. Koonfur Afrika, oo ah dal xubin ka ah Midowga Afrika oo miisaan weyn ku leh, ayaa dacwad ka dhan ah Israa’iil u gudbisay Maxkamadda Caalamiga ah ee Caddaaladda (ICJ), iyadoo ku eedaysay xasuuq ay ka geysatay Gaza. Israa’iil ayaa si adag u beenisay eedeymahaas, waxayna ku tilmaantay kuwo “laga xumaado oo been abuur ah.”

MOGADISHU, Somalia – Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has ruled out the participation of Jubaland leader Ahmed Mohamed Islam “Madobe” in a planned round of national consultation talks, signaling a decisive shift in the federal government’s approach to political dialogue. According to Caasimada Online sources familiar with a recent closed-door meeting between President Mohamud and U.S. Ambassador Richard H. Riley, the president outlined a two-stage plan to foster consensus on key national priorities. The first phase will be open to all Somali politicians and focus exclusively on strategies to defeat the Al-Shabaab insurgency. These discussions are expected to be broadcast live on national television to promote transparency and inclusivity. However, the second phase—described by Villa Somalia as a “governing conversation”—will be restricted to top federal and state officials. Participation will be limited to leaders with what the presidency views as constitutional mandates and decision-making authority. No Madobe participation President Mohamud has expressed a willingness to engage directly with Puntland’s President, Said Abdullahi Deni, but has made it clear that Madobe will not be part of the discussions. “This is not a reunion. It’s a conversation for those with political responsibility,” said an official from Villa Somalia. “Only those capable of making binding decisions will take part.” The exclusion of Madobe reflects the federal government’s view that his political mandate is no longer valid—a position that further complicates Somalia’s already delicate federal structure. While regional leadership disputes are not new, this marks the first time a federal president has explicitly ruled out a federal member state leader from participating in such high-level talks. The United States, a key partner in Somalia’s security and stabilization efforts, has been briefed on the plan. Ambassador Riley reportedly encouraged President Mohamud to ensure the process remains as inclusive as possible, though the final structure of the talks appears firmly in place. The broader context remains tense. Although Somalia held federal elections in 2022 following lengthy delays, political divisions persist—particularly over a recent package of constitutional amendments passed by the cabinet and parliament, which Puntland and other opposition groups have rejected. Meanwhile, Somali government forces, supported by local Ma’wisleey militias and international partners, are engaged in a sustained military campaign against Al-Shabaab in central regions. The group continues to pose a serious threat, often exploiting political uncertainty to regroup and carry out attacks. With the African Union’s new stabilization mission (AUSSOM) underway following the end of the ATMIS mandate, the urgency to align national leadership around a unified strategy is growing. President Mohamud has positioned the upcoming consultations as crucial for political and security stabilization. Whether excluding confident leaders will strengthen or strain that effort remains to be seen.

Todobaadyadii la soo dhaafay waxaa warbaahinta dunida qabsaday ololaha aqoonsi raadinta Soomaaliland, ayadoo falanqeeyaal siyaasadeed,wargeysyo caan ah, iyo dublumaasiyiin hore oo reer galbeed u badani ay arrintaas siyaabo kala duwan uga hadlayeen. Hadal-heynta Soomaaliland ayaa sare u kacday ka dib markii ay dowladda Imaaraadka Carabta casumaad gaar ah u sameysay madaxweyne Cirro, uuna ka qeyb-galay shirka caalamiga ah ee world government’s Summit. Sidoo kale Mareykanka ayaa dhowaan sheegay inuu qorshaynayo inuu dadka reer Qasa ku soo barakiciyo Soomaaliya, asagoo si gaar ah farta ugu goday deegaanada Soomaaliland iyo Puntland, taas oo Hargeysa ay ka gaabsatay, balse warbaahinta dunidu warisay in masuul ka tirsan maamulkaasi uu xaqiijiyey wada-hadallo u socda labada dhinac. Sidoo kale maamulka Trump ayay warbaahinta reer galbeedku sheegtay inuu ka fakarayo inuu dhinaca Soomaaliland kala xaajoodo saldhig uu ka helo Barbara iyo xariir gaar ah oo labada dhinac yeeshaan ama xittaa aqoonsi. Dowladda Mareykanku weli kama hadlin arrintan oo warbaahintu buunbuuninayso, balse Soomaaliland ayaa dhaqaale iyo dadaal gelinaysa sidii ay u sii jiri lahayd hadal-heynta aqoonsi raadinteedu, ayadoo ololeeyaasheeda dibeddu ay Xildhibaanno ingriis ah, iyo aqoontahanno iyo siyaasiyiinta Mareykanka, warbaahinno caan ah, iyo dadka baraha bulshada isticmaala ku qanciyeen inay arrintan ka aragti dhiibtaan. Wasiirka arrimaha dibadda Soomaaliland oo dhowaan tagey Minnesota ayaa dadka ka soo jeeda deegaannadaas ee Mareykanka jooga ku tilmaamay wakiilo iyo dublumaasiyiin aqoonsi raadinta ku howlan, asagoo niyad-sami ka muujiyay in Mareykanku garwaaqsan doono ahmiyad Juquraafi iyo hana-qaadka maamul ee Soomaaliland. Soomaaliland ayaa in ka badan 33 sano raadinaysay aqoonsi ay dunida ka hesho, xilliyo kala duwan ayayna hadal-heyni ka dhalatay fursado la sheegay inay doodeeda dunidu ku aqbali kartay, balse illaa haatan ma jiro dal ku dhiiraday inuu si toos ah ugu dhawaaqo in Hargeysa Xukuumadda Hargeysa fadhigeedu yahay uu u yaqaanno dowlad madax-bannaan.

Riyadh (Caasimada Online) – Boqortooyada Sacuudi Carabiya ayaa si ku-meelgaar ah u hakisay dhowr nooc oo fiisooyin ah oo loogu talagalay muwaadiniinta 14 dal, oo ay ka mid yihiin Masar, iyadoo ay socoto u diyaar garowga xilligii xajka. Sida ay u xaqiijiyeen mas’uuliyiin u warramay ARY News, joojinta fiisooyinka Cumrada, ganacsiga iyo booqashada qoyska ayaa looga golleeyahay in laga hortago dadka aan iska diiwaangelin ee isku dayaya inay xajka u gutaan si sharci-darro ah. Sanadihii la soo dhaafay, dad badan oo xajiyiin ah ayaa ku sii nagaanayay dalka kadib marka ay dhacdo muddada fiisadooda, iyagoo isku dayaya inay si qarsoodi ah uga qaybqaataan xajka. Arrintan ayaa sababtay ciriiri xad dhaaf ah iyo walaac dhanka amniga ah. Mas’uuliyiintu waxay sidoo kale muujiyeen cabsi laga qabo in dad wata fiisooyin ganacsi ama qoys ay u beddelaan inay si sharci-darro ah uga shaqeeyaan gudaha dalka, taasoo saameyneysa suuqa shaqada isla markaana ku xad-gudbeysa shuruudaha fiisada. Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda ee Sacuudiga ayaa sheegtay in tallaabadani ay ujeedadeedu tahay in lagu nidaamiyo habraacyada socdaalka loogana shaqeeyo badbaadada xilliga xajka. Qof kasta oo lagu helo inuu si sharci-darro ah ugu sugan yahay Boqortooyada waxaa laga yaabaa in laga mamnuuco gelitaanka dalka muddo shan sano ah. Dalalka ay joojintu saameysay waxaa ka mid ah: Hindiya, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Masar, Indonesia, Ciraaq, Nigeria, Urdun, Aljeeriya, Suudaan, Itoobiya, Tuunis, Yemen, iyo Marooko. Mas’uuliyiintu waxay u sheegeen ARY News in dadka haysta fiisada Cumrada ay wali geli karaan boqortooyada illaa 13-ka Abriil. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, hakinta fiisada ayaa la filayaa inay sii socoto ilaa bartamaha bisha Juun, marka uu xajku si rasmi ah u soo gabagaboobo. In ka badan 1,000 oo qof oo ku dhintay xajka 2024 Xilliga xajka ee 2024, ugu yaraan 1,301 xaaji ayaa geeriyooday, badankoodna waxaa sababay kulaylka daran. Inta badan dadka dhintay ma haynin ruqsad xaj oo rasmi ah. Mas’uuliyiinta Sacuudiga ayaa sheegay in ilaa 400,000 oo xaaji aan iska diiwaangelin ay ka qayb galeen xajka sanadkan, tiro badan oo ka mid ahna ay ka yimaadeen Masar. Dal kasta waxaa loo qoondeeyaa tiro cayiman oo ruqsado xaj ah oo lagu qaybiyo nidaam cabbir iyo lotari ah. Si kastaba, sababo la xiriira kharashka sarreeya ee baakadaha xajka rasmiga ah, dad badan ayaa isku daya inay si aan sharci ahayn uga qaybqaataan xajka. Xaajiyiin badan oo aan is diiwaangelin badanaa ma helaan adeegyo muhiim ah sida teendhooyin qabow leh, isbitaallo, ama adeegyo gurmad degdeg ah — taasoo khatar sii gelisa safarka xajka oo horeyba u ahaa mid adag oo culus.

CAIRO, Egypt – Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held talks on Wednesday with his Somali counterpart, Ahmed Moallim Fiqi, reaffirming Egypt’s full support for Somalia’s sovereignty, stability, and national institutions during mounting tensions in the Horn of Africa. During the meeting in Cairo, Abdelatty stressed Egypt’s deep respect for Somalia’s territorial integrity and unity, underlining the importance of preserving the country’s cohesion in the face of growing security challenges. He also highlighted the need to strengthen cooperation between the two countries in combating terrorism and extremist ideologies that continue to destabilize the region. Abdelatty called for increased regional and international efforts to confront terrorism, urging joint action to tackle the root causes of violence and insecurity. He reaffirmed Egypt’s readiness to stand with Somalia as it rebuilds state institutions and restores peace. The two ministers emphasized the value of close coordination between Cairo and Mogadishu on regional and global issues, particularly in forums focused on the Horn of Africa. Both sides praised the long-standing and friendly relationship between Egypt and Somalia, shaped by decades of cultural, political, and religious ties. This diplomatic engagement follows the December 2024 Ankara Declaration, a significant development where Turkey successfully mediated talks between Somalia and Ethiopia. The agreement aimed to resolve tensions arising from Ethiopia’s earlier maritime deal with Somaliland, which had threatened to destabilize the region. Under the Ankara Declaration, both nations agreed to respect Somalia’s sovereignty while facilitating Ethiopia’s access to the sea through Somali territory, marking a pivotal step towards regional stability .​ Egypt, which has been locked in a years-long dispute with Ethiopia over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Nile, sees the latest developments as a strategic concern in its broader regional calculus. For Egypt, reaffirming its support for Somalia is more than a gesture of solidarity—it reflects a calculated effort to maintain influence in the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa, where geopolitical competition is intensifying. Somali Foreign Minister Fiqi expressed his appreciation for Egypt’s continued support, particularly during moments of political uncertainty and external pressure. He voiced Somalia’s strong desire to deepen bilateral ties with Egypt and work together to promote regional stability and development.

Washington (Caasimada Online) – Maamulka Trump ayaa dib u bilaabay gargaar cunto oo degdeg ah oo dhan $169.8 milyan oo la siinayo Soomaaliya, isagoo ka laabtay go’aan lama filaan ah oo hakiyay gargaarkaas – arrin cabsi badan ku abuurtay hay’adaha samafalka iyo bulshada Soomaaliyeed, sida ay xaqiijiyeen ilo xog ogaal ah oo la hadlay Reuters. Lacagtan ayaa lagu maalgelinayaa barnaamijyo muhiim ah oo ay waddo Hay’adda Cuntada Adduunka (WFP), kuwaas oo ay ka mid yihiin nafaqeynta carruurta nafaqo darradu saameysay, bixinta raashiin gargaar ah, iyo adeegyada duulimaadka degdegga ah ee bani’aadannimo. Soomaaliya waxay ka mid ahayd dhowr dal oo si lama filaan ah loogu hakiyay gargaarka toddobaadyo ka hor, iyadoo tallaabadaasi qayb ka ahayd isbeddel ballaaran oo lagu sameeyay siyaasadda gargaarka dibadda ee Mareykanka ee Madaxweyne Donald Trump. Go’aanka degdegga ah ee dib loogu celiyay gargaarka, wax yar un ka dib markii la hakiyay, wuxuu muujinayaa cadaadis gudaha ah oo sii kordhaya iyo jahawareer hareeyay qaabka maamulka Trump u wajahayo arrimaha gargaarka bani’aadannimo. Sida ay sheegeen lix ilo-wareed oo arrintan si dhow ula socda, ugu yaraan lix barnaamij oo gargaar ah ayaa dib loo hawlgeliyay – oo ay ku jiraan barnaamijyada raashiinka ee Soomaaliya, Suuriya, Lubnaan, Urdun, Ciraaq iyo Ecuador. Go’aanka dib-u-celinta ayaa lagu shaaciyay email gudaha ah oo uu diray ku-simaha ku-xigeenka aAgaasimaha USAID Jeremy Lewin, oo hore uga tirsanaa Waaxda Hufnaanta Dowladda ee uu hoggaamiyo Elon Musk. Jahawareer gudaha ah iyo isbeddello degdeg ah oo ka jira USAID “Waan ka xumahay isbeddelka badan ee abaalmarinnada,” ayuu Lewin ku qoray farriinta ay heshay Reuters. “Waxaa jira dhinacyo badan oo daneynaya arrimahan, waana in aan si wanaagsan u dheelitirnaa danta guud. Anigaa qaladka iska leh, mas’uuliyaddana waan aqbalayaa.” Kooxda Stand Up for Aid, oo ka kooban saraakiil hore iyo kuwo xil haya, ayaa sheegtay in qandaraasyada WFP ee la joojiyay ee dalalka Lubnaan, Suuriya, Soomaaliya iyo Urdun ay gaareen in ka badan $463 milyan. Qaybta Soomaaliya ayaa si gaar ah ugu wajahneyd taageero loogu talagalay bulshooyin nugul oo wajahaya cunto-yari ba’an. Reuters ayaa horey u soo tabisay in maamulka Trump uu hakiyay barnaamijyo gargaar oo ka jiray in ka badan 12 dal — oo ay ku jiraan Afgaanistaan, Yemen, Soomaaliya, iyo Suuriya — taasoo ka dhigan jaris ka badan $1.3 bilyan. Xoghayaha Arrimaha Dibadda ee Mareykanka Marco Rubio ayaa horay ugu oggolaaday qaar ka mid ah barnaamijyadaas inay helaan ka-dhaafis miisaaniyadeed, balse barnaamijyo badan ayaa si kedis ah loo hakiyay dhammaadkii toddobaadkaas. Hay’adaha samafalka ayaa si weyn uga walaacay arrintaas. Isniintii, WFP ayaa ka digtay in jarista gargaarka cunnada ee degdegga ah ee 14 dal ay noqon karto “xukun dil ah” oo lagu riday malaayiin qof oo durba ku nool xaalad gaajo daran. Gargaar dibadeed oo ay la socdaan shuruudo Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda kama aysan hadlin markiiba dib-u-soo-celinta gargaarka, balse afhayeenkeeda Tammy Bruce ayaa markii dambe saxaafadda u sheegtay in maamulka Trump uu weli u heellan yahay gargaarka dibadda – inkastoo ay jiraan shuruudo. Waxay sheegtay in Mareykanku uu hakiyay gargaarkii loogu talagalay Afgaanistaan oo ay xukumaan Taliban iyo Yemen oo ay gacanta ku hayaan Xuutiyiinta, iyadoo laga baqayo in gargaarkaasi uu u faa’iideeyo kooxaha hubeysan. “Barnaamijyo dhowr ah ayaa si qalad ah loo joojiyay, balse hadda waa la soo celiyay oo dib ayaa loo hawlgeliyay,” ayay tiri Bruce. Si kastaba, dhaleeceeyayaashu waxay sheegeen in isbeddellada joogtada ah ee maamulka Trump ay muujinayaan dhibaato weyn. Maamulku wuxuu si weyn u jaray miisaaniyadda USAID — hay’adda u xilsaaran maaraynta gargaarka bani’aadannimo ee Mareykanka. Bilyaanno dollar ayaa laga jaray tan iyo markii uu Trump mar labaad xafiiska la wareegay bishii Janaayo, iyadoo go’aannadaas ay inta badan ahaayeen kuwo aan laga fiirsan oo ay hareeyeen isbeddello degdeg ah iyo jahawareer gudaha ah. Xildhibaannada Dimuqraadiga ee Guddiga Arrimaha Dibadda ee Senate-ka ayaa warqad ay u direen Xoghayaha Rubio ku muujiyay walaac, iyagoo si adag u dhaleeceeyay qorshaha lagu doonayo in lagu hoos geeyo USAID Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda, taasoo ay ku tilmaameen “mid dastuuri-darro ah, sharci-darro ah, aan caddaalad ahayn, waxyeello leh, isla markaana aan habboonayn.” Waqtigan xaadirka ah, barnaamijyada gargaarka degdegga ah ee cunnada Soomaaliya waa la soo celiyay. Hase yeeshee, hubanti la’aanta ka taagan gargaarka Mareykanka ayaa weli jirta — iyadoo malaayiin qof ay wali ku sugan yihiin xaalad mugdi ah.

he worldwide recognition of Somaliland cannot be ignored for even a second longer. Somalia is a failed state. The president is already proving a liability — failing to combat terrorism, lawlessness on the streets, and presiding over an appalling human rights record. Baseless and damaging claims regarding the legitimacy of critical infrastructure such as Berbera Port and Berbera Airport, represent nothing more than a land grab and a desperate attempt to laud power over a sovereign state in Putin-like fashion. Therefore, the world, including the United Kingdom, must wake up and recognise Somaliland to not only reward a key ally, but also for the crucial benefit of Western intelligence including a say over one of the most strategic maritime checkpoints in the world. China, Iran, and Russia are watching with eagle eyes. They are hoping that Western nations miss a crucial opportunity to fill a vacuum and allow their totalitarian regimes to form a destructive coalition with Somalia that will have devastating consequences for global trade. We have already seen Chinese, Iranian, and Russian aggression in shipping lanes as they seek to exert their influence, disrupt supply chains, and damage the economy of democratic nations. Failing to recognise Somaliland would allow this to continue at pace. Somaliland’s Berbera Port presents a direct line of access into the Gulf of Aden and the Bel el-Mandeb Straight, a passage through which almost 12% of global trade flows. China has been flooding the region to form economic and military alliances, whilst Iran’s proxy war with Yemen has crashed economies and held goods at ransom. Expansionist rhetoric and propaganda can only be combatted by recognising Somaliland — a stable, functional, and successful nation with a strong record of holding democratic elections. In stark contrast, Somalia is wracked with in-fighting and provides a haven for piracy with a president willing to use his own people as collateral in a never-ending campaign of self-promotion and regional dominance. As war ravages in Somalia, peace prevails in Somaliland. Therefore, it is simply astonishing that governments across the world are making a conscious decision to put Somaliland’s future in the hands of the despots that are running Somalia into the ground. Figures from the United Nations lay bare the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Somalia. The recent poverty report shows that 52% of Somalis are living well below the poverty line, with the government failing to put sufficient measures in place to combat natural disasters and alleviate the severe deprivation across the country. Somalia was the lowest ranked African country in the Human Development Index — ranking 193 in the worldwide standing. The Index itself was created to demonstrate how a country supports the wellbeing of its citizens and thus Somalia’s positioning makes for sobering reading. The only conclusion that can be drawn is Somalia’s president does not care about his people, infrastructure, or development of human rights. The litany of abuses that Somalia’s president has presided over is endless. His direction of travel is creating international turmoil and the only way to achieve stability as well as to prevent rogue nations dictating strategic territories, is to recognise Somaliland. Dithering will only worsen an already dire situation. The time to recognise Somaliland is now before it’s too late. Politics.co.uk Qaran News

Qaahira (Caasimada Online) – Wasiirka Arrimaha Dibadda ee Masar, Badr Abdelatty, ayaa Arbacadii wadahadallo rasmi ah la yeeshay dhiggiisa Soomaaliya, Axmed Macallin Fiqi, isagoo mar kale xaqiijiyay taageerada buuxda ee Masar u hayso madax-bannaanida, midnimada, iyo xasilloonida Soomaaliya, xilli xiisado siyaasadeed ay ka taagan yihiin Geeska Afrika. Intii uu socday kulanka ka dhacay Qaahira, Abdelatty wuxuu carrabka ku adkeeyay sida ay Masar uga go’an tahay dhowrista midnimada dhuleed iyo wadajirka siyaasadeed ee Soomaaliya. Wuxuu xusay in ilaalinta midnimada dalka ay lama huraan u tahay la tacaalidda caqabadaha amni ee isa soo taraya. Sidoo kale, wuxuu muujiyay muhiimadda iskaashi dhow oo labada dal ku dhex mara la-dagaallanka argagixisada iyo fikradaha xagjirka ah ee wiiqaya nabadda iyo xasilloonida gobolka. Abdelatty wuxuu ku baaqay in la xoojiyo dadaallada gobolka iyo beesha caalamka ee lagula tacaalayo argagixisada, isagoo carabka ku dhuftay baahida loo qabo tallaabooyin wadajir ah oo wax looga qabto sababaha salka u ah rabshadaha iyo xasillooni darrada. Wuxuu mar kale caddeeyay in Masar ay diyaar u tahay inay garab istaagto Soomaaliya inta ay dib u dhiseyso hay’adaha dowliga ah ayna xasillooni buuxda ku soo celineyso gudaha dalka. Labada wasiir waxay sidoo kale adkeeyeen muhiimadda ay leedahay in labada dal si joogto ah uga wadashaqeeyaan arrimaha gobolka iyo kuwa caalamiga ah, gaar ahaan madalaha lagu falanqeeyo xaaladaha Geeska Afrika. Waxay si wadajir ah u ammaaneen xiriirka taariikhiga ah iyo saaxiibtinimada soo jireenka ah ee ka dhexeeya labada dal, oo salka ku haya is-dhaafsi dhaqan, siyaasadeed, iyo diimeed muddo dheer soo taxnaa. Wadahadalladan ayaa yimid kadib heshiiskii muhiimka ahaa ee Bayaankii Ankara oo la gaaray bishii Diseembar 2024, kaasoo uu Turkigu ka dhex-dhexaadiyay Soomaaliya iyo Itoobiya. Heshiiskaas ayaa lagu xalliyay xiisad ka dhalatay heshiiskii Itoobiya la gashay Somaliland, kaasoo khatar geliyay xasiloonida gobolka. Bayaanka Ankara wuxuu dhigayay in labada dhinac ay ixtiraamaan madax-bannaanida dhuleed ee Soomaaliya, isla markaana loo oggolaado Itoobiya inay marin badeed ku hesho iyada oo loo marayo dowladda Soomaaliya. Tallaabadan ayaa loo arkaa mid horseedi karta degganaansho ballaaran oo gobolka ah. Masar, oo horey khilaaf ballaaran uga dhexeeyay Itoobiya arrinta Biyo-xireenka Weyn ee Webiga Nile (GERD), waxay horumarkan cusub u aragtaa mid si toos ah u taabanaya danaha istaraatiijiyadeed ee ay ku leedahay gobolka. Taageerada Masar ay mar kale u muujisay Soomaaliya waxa ay ka tarjumaysaa in ka badan xiriir diblomaasiyadeed oo saaxiibtinimo ah—waxa ay muujinaysaa dadaal la xisaabtamay oo ay Masar ku doonayso inay xoojiso saameynteeda siyaasadeed ee Badda Cas iyo Geeska Afrika, meelahaasoo uu tartanka geostrategic-ku sii xoogeysanayo. Wasiirka Arrimaha Dibadda Soomaaliya, Axmed Macallin Fiqi, ayaa dhankiisa uga mahadceliyay Masar taageeradeeda joogtada ah, gaar ahaan xilliyada ay jirto hubanti la’aan siyaasadeed iyo cadaadis dibadeed. Wuxuu xusay sida ay Soomaaliya uga go’an tahay in la sii xoojiyo xiriirka laba-geesoodka ah ee kala dhaxeeya Masar, si wadajir loogu shaqeeyo nabadda, horumarka, iyo xasilloonida gobolka.

Addis Abeba –Recent reporting by Reuters indicates Somalia’s willingness to grant the United States “exclusive control of strategic air bases and ports.” According to the article, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, in a letter dated March 16 and addressed to former U.S. President Donald Trump, outlined this offer. Authenticated by a regional diplomat with knowledge of the matter, as reported by Reuters, the letter identifies assets including the Balidogle and Berbera air bases, as well as the ports of Berbera and Bosaso. However, Somaliland has rejected an attempt by the federal government of Somalia to give the US exclusive control of a port and airbase in Berbera. According to the BBC, Somaliland’s Foreign Affairs Minister Abdirahman Dahir Aden dismissed the move as “desperate.” President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s letter to Washington reads like a desperate plea for relevance. By attempting to insert Somalia into a discussion about Somaliland’s strategic Berbera Port, Mogadishu exposes its own weakness. For more than three decades, Somaliland has stood as a beacon of stability in a volatile region. Unlike Somalia, which has been marred by internal conflict and terrorist insurgencies, Somaliland has maintained peace, held multiple democratic elections, and fostered economic growth. These facts are irrefutable, no matter how much Mogadishu tries to distort them Somalia’s leadership has consistently failed to provide basic governance to its people, let alone exert control over Somaliland. While President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud clings to outdated narratives, Somaliland is engaging directly with international partners, securing investments, and positioning itself as a key player in regional stability. Somaliland’s successful management of the Berbera Port, in collaboration with DP World and Ethiopia, is a testament to its capability. This economic lifeline is critical not only for the Horn of Africa but also for global maritime trade passing through the Red Sea. While Somalia continues to struggle with insecurity, piracy, and terrorist threats, Somaliland has ensured the safe passage of goods and maintained stability along one of the world’s most crucial trade routes. This alone should be enough for global powers to recognize the stark contrast between Somaliland’s governance and Somalia’s dysfunction. Yet, Somalia persists in its attempts to undermine Somaliland’s quest for independence through baseless diplomatic maneuvering. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s administration, rather than addressing its own internal crises, has resorted to fabricating claims over territories it neither controls nor has any influence over. This is not just a matter of political posturing—it is a deliberate attempt to mislead the international community. The question remains: how can a government that cannot secure its own streets claim sovereignty over a nation that has functioned independently for over three decades? Somaliland’s case for international recognition is stronger than ever. It has proven itself to be a responsible and capable state, one that respects democratic principles, upholds security, and actively contributes to regional stability. In contrast, Somalia continues to rely on foreign troops to maintain order within its own borders, with its government struggling to assert control beyond a few city blocks in Mogadishu. The international community must recognize this for what it is—political theater meant to distract from Somalia’s internal chaos. Mogadishu’s continued attempts to interfere in Somaliland’s affairs serve no purpose other than to delay the inevitable. The fact remains that Somaliland is not, and never has been, under Mogadishu’s rule since 1991. No degree of diplomatic deception can alter this reality. It is time for the international community to cease indulging Somalia’s unfounded claims and begin recognizing the truth: Somaliland’s quest for independence is poised to be successful. The international community has long engaged with Somaliland on security cooperation, economic development, and trade partnerships. The United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have all worked with Somaliland on counterterrorism efforts, infrastructure development, and humanitarian aid. This tacit acknowledgment of Somaliland’s legitimacy makes Mogadishu’s claims even more absurd. If Somaliland is good enough to be a security and trade partner, why is it not good enough to be recognized as an independent nation? Somalia’s desperation is evident, and President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s letter is only a desperate cry from a regime that has lost its grip on reality. No credible government in the world takes Mogadishu’s claims seriously, yet Somalia continues to waste its diplomatic efforts on a lost cause. Instead of addressing its internal governance failures, economic struggles, and growing security threats, it fixates on Somaliland—a nation that has already moved on. A final message to Mogadishu: Somaliland’s independence is not up for negotiation. Its people have spoken, its government is functional, and its future does not include being dragged back into Somalia’s chaos. The international community must see Somalia’s desperate tactics for what they are—a last-ditch effort to remain relevant in a geopolitical landscape that has already passed it by. Somaliland’s legitimacy stands firm, unshaken by Mogadishu’s hollow rhetoric. The time for recognition is now. AS Abdi Halim M.
