Ciidanka Hay’adda Sirdoonka iyo Nabad Sugidda Qaranka (NISA), oo kaashanaya saaxiibada caalamka, ayaa howlgal qorsheysan ka fuliyay deegaanka Ceel-dhiiqo Weyne, oo u dhexeeya Ceel-lahelay iyo Ceel-garas ee gobolka Galguduud. Howlgalkaas, ayaa sida lagu sheegay war-saxaafadeed ka soo baxay NISA, lagu dilay 12 xubnood oo ka tirsan Al-Shabaab, oo ay ku jireen hoggaamiyaal muhiim ah, halka 13 kalena dhaawacyo culus lagu gaarsiiyay. Sidoo kale, ciidamada ayaa beegsaday xarun lagu diyaarinayay in ka badan 400 maleeshiyaad, taas oo ku taallay deegaankaasi. Saraakiisha amniga ayaa intaas ku daray in ciidamada dowladda iyo saaxiibada caalamiga ahi ay hadda ku raad-joogaan haraadigii maleeshiyaadka oo u firxaday dhanka degmada Ceelbuur. Gobolka Galguduud ayaa muddooyinkan noqday goob dagaal oo joogto ah, maadaama ay halkaasi ku xooggan yihiin xubno ka tirsan Al-Shabaab, balse ciidamada dowladda iyo kuwa deegaanka ayaa kordhiyay howlgalada, iyagoo doonaya in ay meesha ka saaraan awoodda kooxda.

Maalmahan waxaa soo badanaya cabashooyinka ku saabsan qoysas iyo ganacsato ka hayaamaya Puntland, iyagoo u guuraya magaalooyin kale sida Nairobi. Arrintani waxay calaamad u tahay dhaqaale ka baxaya (capital flight), taas oo wiiqaysa kobaca ganacsiga gudaha iyo kalsoonida dadka ee mustaqbalka Puntland. Xogta laga helay guud ahaan Soomaaliya waxay muujineysaa halis aad u weyn: Intii lagu jiray 12 bilood oo keliya sanadkii 2023, in ka badan $300 milyan ayaa ka baxay nidaamka bangiyada gudaha, sida uu sheegay Bankiga Dhexe ee Soomaaliya. Marka la eego culayska dhaqaale ee Puntland, waxaa lagu qiyaasi karaa in ugu yaraan $50–70 milyan lacag ah sannad walba ka baxdo Puntland oo dibadda loo wareejiyo. Jaadku wuxuu noqday mid si weyn u saameeya dhaqaalaha: guud ahaan Soomaaliya waxaa sanad walba jaad lagu iibsadaa $146M–$420M, iyadoo qiimaha qaarkood gaari karaan ilaa $1 bilyan sanadkii. Marka qiyaastan lagu dabaqo Puntland, waxaa la saadaalin karaa in $30M–$100M sanadkii oo keliya ay Puntland uga baxaan jaad. Waxaa cad in lacagtaas badan oo Puntland ka baxda loo wareejiyo dibadda, halkii lagu maalgelin lahaa wax soo saar, shaqo abuur iyo adeegyo bulsho. Talooyin Lagu Badbaadin Karo Dhaqaalaha Puntland 1. Joojinta Lacagaha Dibadda Loo Diro iyo Ilaalinta Doollarka Gudaha Dowladda Puntland waa inay xakameysaa lacagaha badan ee loo wareejiyo dibadda, ayna mamnuucdo in doollarka si fudud looga saaro dalka. Lacagta Puntland laga kasbado waa in lagu cunaa Puntland dhexdeeda, laguna maalgashadaa ganacsiga gudaha. Tani waxay sare u qaadaysaa kalsoonida ganacsatada iyo koboca suuqa gudaha. 2. Xakamaynta Jaadka oo Dhaqaalaha Ka Saara Balaayiin Doollar Jaadku wuxuu noqday mid si joogto ah u dhuuqaya dhaqaalaha bulshada. Haddii Puntland sanad walba ku bixinayso $30M–$100M jaad, taasi waa khasaare dhaqaale oo weyn, waxaana halkaas ku khasaaraya Ganacsiyadii gudaha kuwaasoo waynaya Suuq iyo lacag wax lagaga gato. Canshuurta Dawladda iyo Fursadda Sales Tax Waxaa la fahmi karaa in Dawladda Puntland ay ka walwalsan tahay canshuurta jaadka ee ay ka lumin karto haddii jaadka la joojiyo ama la xakameeyo. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, tani waa aragti gaaban. Marka lacagta jaadka laga joojiyo inay dibadda baxdo oo lagu celiyo gudaha Puntland, shacabka waxay helayaan lacago ay ganacsatada wax kaga gataan, ganacsatada waxay lacagtaas ku bixin doonaan sales taxes. Taas macnaheedu waa in Dawladdu ka heli karto canshuur cusub oo sales tax ah — taasoo ka badan karta khasaaraha ay kala kulmi lahayd jaadka iyo canshuurtiisa. 3. Dhiirrigelinta Maalgashiga Gudaha Si loo joojiyo dhaqaalaha baxaya, Puntland waa inay dhiirrigelisaa maalgashiga gudaha—gaar ahaan meelaha dhalinyaradu ku hawlan karaan ganacsi, beeraha iyo farsamada gacanta. Tani waxay abuuraysaa fursado ganacsi oo gudaha ah, waxayna yareyneysaa in qoysas iyo ganacsato lacagtooda dibadda geeyaan. Dowladdu waa inay hormuud ka noqotaa abuurista shirkado iyo mashruucyo ganacsi – tusaale ahaan: Shirkadaha tamarta, beeraha, kalluumaysiga iyo dhismaha – dowladda ayaa bilowda oo maalgelisa. Markay shirkaddu xoog yeelato, dowladda waxay shacabka ka iibisaa shares (saamiyo) si loo yeesho shirkado ay dadka Puntland wada leeyihiin. Habkan wuxuu abuuri karaa kalsooni, shaqo abuur, iyo dhaqaale gudaha ku wareega, halkii uu dibadda u bixi lahaa. Tani waxay ka duwan tahay “dhiirrigelin” ku koobnaata khudbado iyo shirar; waa tallaabo wax ku ool ah oo shacabka u horseedaysa inay ka qayb qaataan kobaca dhaqaale ee dalkooda. Gunaanad Puntland maanta waxay wajahaysaa halis dhaqaale oo ka imaanaysa capital flight iyo jaad. Marka la eego qiyaasta Bangiga Dhexe ee Soomaaliya, ugu yaraan $50–70 milyan sanadkii ayaa Puntland dibadda uga baxa. Isla markaas, jaad keliya ayaa Puntland uga saara $30–$100 milyan sanadkii. Taas macnaheedu waa in dhaqaalaha bulshada si joogto ah u baxayo halkii uu gudaha ku sii wareegi lahaa. Haddii aan la qaadin tallaabooyin degdeg ah, dhaqaalaha Puntland wuxuu sii lumin doonaa awooddiisii koboc. Laakiin haddii dowladdu joojiso dhaqaalaha dibadda u baxa, xakameyso jaadka, islamarkaana dhiirrigeliso maalgashiga gudaha, Puntland waxay dib u hanan kartaa kalsoonida bulshada, waxayna dhisi kartaa mustaqbal dhaqaale oo barwaaqo leh.

Dowladda Japan ayaa ku dhawaaqday in ay si rasmi ah u aqoonsan doonto dowlad-madaxbanaan oo Falastiin ah dhammaadka bishan September, xilli la filayo in shirweynaha guud ee Golaha Qaramada Midoobay uu ka dhaco magaalada New York. Go’aankan ayaa ka dhigan tallaabo diblomaasiyadeed oo weyn, maadaama Japan ay kamid tahay dalalka awoodda dhaqaale iyo siyaasadeed ku leh caalamka, gaar ahaan gobolka Aasiya. Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda ee Japan ayaa sheegtay in aqoonsiga Falastiin uu yahay mid ku saleysan taageerada xuquuqda dadka Falastiin iyo dadaallada caalamiga ah ee lagu doonayo in xal waara loogu helo colaadda Bariga Dhexe. Japan waxay intaas ku dartay in tallaabadani aysan ahayn mid ka dhan ah maamulka Israa’iil, balse ay u aragto inay muhiim u tahay nabadda iyo wada-noolaanshaha gobolka. Dalal kale oo waaweyn ayaa ayaguna horey u ballan-qaaday aqoonsiga Falastiin, kuwaas oo sheegay inay diyaar u yihiin inay aqoonsadaan dowlad-madaxbanaan oo Falastiin ah. Dalalkaasi waxaa ka mid ah UK, Faransiiska, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Portugal, Finland, Malta iyo kuwo kale oo Yurub iyo Aasiya ah. Tallaabooyinkan isbiirsaday ayaa sare u qaaday cadaadiska caalamiga ah ee lagu doonayo in Falastiin hesho kursi buuxa oo Qaramada Midoobay ah. Falanqeeyayaasha arrimaha caalamiga ah ayaa ku tilmaamay aqoonsiga Japan inuu yahay mid culays cusub ku kordhinaya Israa’iil, isla markaana dhiirrigelin u noqon kara dalal kale oo weli ka labalabaynaya mowqifkooda ku aaddan aqoonsiga Falastiin. Sidoo kale, tallaabadan ayaa imaaneysa iyadoo xaalada dhulka Falastiiniyiinta – gaar ahaan Qasa iyo Daanta Galbeed ay wali ka taagan yihiin dagaal iyo musiibo bani’aadamtinimo oo ka dhalatay duullaanka iyo duqeymaha joogtada ah.

Dowladda Puntland oo digniin amni soo saartay ayaa muujisay in laga yaabo magaalada Boosaaso in ay ku soo dhuunteen firxad ka tirsan mileeshiyaadkii Daacish oo nafta kala soo baxsaday Hawlgalka Calmiskaad.

Madaxweynihii hore ee Soomaaliland, Muuse Biixi Cabdi, ayaa markii ugu horraysay si faahfaahsan uga hadlay sababaha keenay in uusan dhaqan-gelin is-afgaradkii muranka badan dhaliyay ee xukuumaddiisii la gashay Dowladda Federaalka Itoobiya. Muuse Biixi, oo wareysi laga qaaday ayaa sheegay in heshiiskaasi uu ku xayirmay cadaadis diblomaasiyadeed oo xooggan oo caalami ah, kaas oo uu ku tilmaamay mid ku adkaaday Ra’iisul Wasaare Abiy Axmed in uu ku dhaqmo. “Dunida oo dhan ayaa ka hor timid qorshahaas, iyadoo si gaar ah dowladaha Carabta oo uu hoggaaminayo Masar, Ururka Iskaashiga Islaamka (OIC), Midowga Afrika, iyo quwadaha waaweyn ay si adag uga soo horjeesteen,” ayuu yiri Biixi. Madaxweynihii hore ayaa sidoo kale sheegay in xaaladaasi ay ku dhowaatay heer xarunta Midowga Afrika laga wareejiyo magaalada Addis Ababa, taas oo muujinaysa culayska diblomaasiyadeed ee Itoobiya wajahday. Dhanka kale, Muuse Biixi waxa uu shaaca ka qaaday in Dowladda Jabuuti ay si weyn uga carootay is-afgaradkaasi, maadaama ay u aragtay mid dhaawacaya danaha gobolka iyo xasilloonida Geeska Afrika. Is-afgaradka Itoobiya iyo SoomaalilandIs-afgaradka ay xukuumaddii Muuse Biixi gashay Itoobiya, oo lagu dhawaaqay horraantii sanadkii 2024-kii, ayaa ka koobnaa qodobo la xiriira iskaashi dhinaca badda iyo siyaasadda ah iyo bixinta dhul 20 KM ah, waxaana uu abuuray buuq weyn gudaha Soomaaliya iyo dibaddaba. Xukuumadda Federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa si cad u diiday, iyadoo ku tilmaantay mid sharci-darro ah oo ka hor imanaya madaxbannaanida iyo midnimada dhuleed ee dalka, waxayna Itoobiya la gashay dagaal dublumaasiyadeed oo aad u adag. Hadda, hadalka Muuse Biixi ayaa u muuqda mid si rasmi ah u muujinaya in is-afgaradkaasi uu ku dhamaaday fashil, inkasta oo Itoobiya weli muujinayso rabitaan ku aaddan inay sii waddo xiriir siyaasadeed oo dhow la yeelato Hargeysa.

Gaalkacyo waa magaalada keliya oo wixii ka dhacay 199kii lagu tilmaami karo isku day isir-suulin. “26kii Febraayo 1991kii ciidamada ururka USC oo uu hoggaaminayo Jeneraal Maxamed Faarax Caydiid ayaa weeraray Gaalkaacyo iyo magaalooyinka kale ee Mudug, oo waxay jab u geysteen cadawga, oo gacanta ayay ku hayaan magaalada [Gaalkacyo]” ayay USC ku qortay war saxaafadeed ku saabsanaa weerarkii ururkii USC ku soo qaaday caasimadda Mudug. Gaalkacyo (Faallo) — Dhowaan Xildhaabaan Dhaashane, oo ka tirsan Baarlamaanka Puntland, wuxuu soo jeediyay in Gaalkacyo noqon karto caasimadda Soomaaliya. “Galmudug iyo Puntland ayaa iska ka kaashan doona arrintaas” ayuu Dhaashane yiri isagoo Gaalkacyo ka jeedinayay khudbad ku saabsan 27 guurada Puntland. Dood kale oo ku saabsan Gaalkacyo rag ka qeybgalay waxay soo bandhigeen in Gaalkacyo ay ku habbon tahay inay noqoto caasimadda Soomaaliya. Mid ka ka mid ah doodayaasha, wuxuu sheegay in “Muqdisho dadkii lahaa ay ka qexeen 1991kii.” Wuxuu sheegay in gobaadfalladii Muqdisho ka dhacay 1991kii iyo waqtigii ka dambeeyay ka dhigeen Muqdisho meel aan ku habboonayn inay sii ahaayo caasimadda Soomaaliya. “Gaalkacyo ayaa kaga habboon” ayuu ku dooday. Sideedaba magaalo qof guri ama guryo ama hanti wuu ku yeelan karaa, laakiin marnaba qofku ma sheegan karo inuu magaalada leeyahay. Sidoo kale, beel ma sheegan karto inay magaalo leedahay. Waagii dhulgoosiga (feudalism) ayay boqorradu iyo kaniisaddu aamminsanayeen inay magaalooyinka leeyihiin, oo dadka ku nool yihiin kireystayaal (tenants). Haddii Muqdisho lagu qiimeeyo wixii ka dhacay 1991kii iyo kaddib, waxaa xeer noqonaysa in magaalo lagu qiimeeyo (1) wixii ka dhacay, ama (2) in magaalo/degmo ay tahay meel hal beel ay u badan tahay. Haddii beel ay ku badan tahay magaalo isla markaasna sheegato lahaanshaha magaalada, magaaladaas waxay u nuglaanaysaa tilmaammaha hadda Muqdisho dadka qaarkood ku duraan. Gaalkacyo way ka yar tahay Muqdisho, laakiin wixii ka dhacay 1991kii degmadaas waa colaado loo soo qaadan karo inaysan ku habboonayn inay noqoto Caasimadda Soomaaliya. 1991kii bishii Febraayo dhammadkeedii ciidammada ururkii United Somali Congress (USC, oo uu hoggaaminayay Jeneraal Maxamed Faarax Caydiid ayaa Gaalkacyo qabsaday. Dhowr dhinac ayay magaalada ka soo weerareen; ku talaggalkoodu wuxuu ahaa in dadka hadda deggan waqooyiga Gaalkcagyo aysan u qixin degmooyinka Gaalkacyo ka xiga waqooyiga. “[Jeneraal Caydiid] wuxuu dagaal aan kala joogsi lahayn ku waday Gaalkacyo oo mar ay gacantiisa gashay uu ku xasuuqay dad gaaraya kun iyo dheeraad” ayuu Cabdullaahi Yuusuf ku qoray buuggiisii Halgan iyo Hagardaamo. USC waxay ahayd jabhad xukunka 1991kii qabsatay, bil ka hor weerarka Gaakacyo, oo sidatay hubkeedii hore iyo hub badan oo ay ka heshay xeryihii Xoogga Dalka ee ku yiil Muqdisho. Ma sugna tirada rayidka uu ururkii USC ku laayay Gaalkacyo laakiin in tiradu aad u badan tahay su’aal kama taagna. In haween, carruur iyo dad da’weyn midna aan la bixinin waa mid ka mid ah raadadka weerarkii USC ku soo qaadday Gaalkacyo 1991kii. Ilaa hadda dadka Gaalkacyo waqooyigeeda ku nool kama hadlaan weerarkaas taariikhda galay. War saxaafadeed ururka USC soo saaray wuxuu ku xusay sida weerarku u dhacay. “26kii Febraayo 1991kii ciidamada ururka USC oo uu hoggaaminayo Jeneraal Maxamed Faarax Caydiid ayaa weeraray Gaalkaacyo iyo magaalooyinka kale ee Mudug, oo waxay jab u geysteen cadawga, oo gacanta ayay ku hayaan magaalada [Gaalkacyo].” Dhafoorqiiq iyo Siyaad Barre In saamaynta weerarka ururkii USC 1991kii ku soo qaaday Gaalkacyo sababay xasuuq ba’an waxaa qeyb ahaan fududeeyay go’aankii xoogagii Dhafoorqiiq (oo hore uga tirsanaa ururkii SSDF) ku aadeen Muqdisho markii uu dagaalku ka qarxay 30kii Diseemabar 1990kii. Dhafoorqiiq daacad uma ahayn dowladdii Kacaanka, kamana soo horjeedin; sidoo kalena ma ahayn xoogag siyaasad ahaan ku abtirsanayay ururkii SSDF oo magac ahaan u jiray markaas laakiin aan lahayn wax ciidan ah oo dowladdii kacaanka la dagaallamayay xilligaas lahayn. Ururrada USC, SNM iyo SPM ayaa la hadal-hayay dhammadkii 1990kii iyo billowgii 1991kii. Markii dowladdii kacaanku dhacday 1991kii, Dhafooqiiq hoggaamiyayaasheedii waxay ku doodeen inay ku guuleysteen inay Madaxweyne Maxamed Siyaad Barre ka caawiyeen inuu ka baxo Madaxtooyada markii dagaalyahannadii ururkii USC ka soo daateen darbiyadii Villa Somalia. Markii dambe reer miyga Mudug iyo Nugaal ayaa la abaanbulay kaddibna waxay kaashadeen ciidammadii Balanballe iyo Caabudwaaq 1991kii si la iska caabbiyo ciidankii USC. Labo cashar oo waaweyn ayuu weerarkii Gaalkacyo reebay. 1- Waxaa caddaatay in kala diristii ciidammada SSDF ku salaysnayd go’aan aan laga baaraandegin xilli jabhado beelo ku salaysan ay Soomaaliya ku soo badanayeen. 2- Gaalkacyo waa magaalada uu ka dhacay xasuuqa ugu xun ay geysatay dowlad Soomaaliyeed maadaama ururka USC ahaa ururkii dhisay dowladdii ku meelgaarka uu Madaxweyne Cali Mahdi Maxamed hoggaaminayay. Dadka Waqooyiga Gaalkacyo ku nool kama hor imanin dowladdii Xamar laga dhisay 1991kii kaddib. Jeneraal Caydiid ayaa dhisay dood ah in ururka SSDF iyo beesha taageeri jirtay yihiin “Siyaad Barre Supporter”, oo dhiggooda iyo hantidooda u xalaaleeyay ciidankii USC. “Taliyaha Sare ee Xoogagga Milatariga ee USC ahna hoggaamiyaha dhabta ah ee ururka ayaa ugu hambalyeeyay dagaalyahannada USC iyo xoogagga horusocodka ah oo la bahda ah hawlgalka lagu guulaystay ay ka fuliyeen Gaalkacyo iyo agagaarkeeda” ayuu warsaxaafadeedku intaas ku daray. Isku-day isir-suulin Gaalkacyo waa magaalada keliya oo wixii ka dhacay 199kii lagu tilmaami karo isku day isir-suulin. USC wuxuu ahaa urur dhisay dowlad ku meelgar ah oo beddeshay taliskii kacaanka 1991kii. Gaalkacyo waa magaalada lagu dilay odayaal sooc ah oo samatalin caan ku ahaa. In laga hadlo wixii Muqdisho ka dhacay waxay sababi kartaa in laga bogsoodo gaboodfalladii ka dhacay caasimadda 199kii iyo kaddib. Gaalkacyo sidaas ma aha. Lagama hadlo wixii ka dhacay 1990kii iyo kaddib. Ma jrto magaalo Soomaaliyeed oo uu ka dhacay xasuuq la heer ah kii ka dhacay Gaalkacyo 1991kii. “[Jeneraal Caydiid] wuxuu dagaal aan kala joogsi lahayn ku waday Gaalkacyo oo mar ay gacantiisa gashay uu ku xasuuqay dad gaaraya kun iyo dheeraad iyo in aad u badan oo barakacday, dadka qaar inta meel la isugu keenay baa Ia laayey iyagoo waliba qaarkood aad u yaqaannay, waxaa ka mid ahaa dadkaas Maxamuud Xaaji Xasan, Jaamac Biixi Xanaf, Maxamuud Cali Nuur… kuwaas oo ka mid ahaa odoyaashii ugu waaweynaa Gobolka Mudug, waa nabadoonnadii iyo ganacsatadii” ayuu Cabdullaahi Yuusuf ku qoray buuggiisii Halgan iyo Hagardaamo. Waa dhab in 1993ki ay Jeneraal Caydiid iyo Cabdullaahi Yuusuf heshiis ku kala saxiixdeen Muqdisho ku saabsan Gaalkacyo, heshiiskaas oo weli shaqaynaya. Gaalkacyo waa magaalada weli labo qeybood loo kala deggan yahay, oo waa sida wax u eg Khadkii Cagaarnaa ka jiri jiray Muqdisho. Waa kala qeybsanaan ku salaysan wixii ka dhacay degmada Gaalkacyo 1991kii. Sidaas darteed Gaalkacyo kuma habboona inay noqoto caasimad Soomaaliyeed. © Puntland Post, 2025 The post Miyay Gaalkacyo ku habboon tahay inay noqoto caasimadda Soomaaliya? appeared first on Puntland Post.

Arms, Asylum, and Abdication: How Somalia’s Leadership Is Fueling Instability in the Horn of Africa By Abdi Halim M. Musa Somalia’s federal government has become synonymous with dysfunction, corruption, and reckless geopolitics. From covert arms deals and diplomatic scandals to interference in neighboring Republic of Somaliland, the administration of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is not simply failing its own citizens; it is actively undermining regional stability. The United States and its allies must respond with urgency before the Horn of Africa slides into a deeper crisis. Mogadishu remains vulnerable to Al-Shabaab attacks, yet the government devotes more energy to acquiring weapons and provoking neighbors than addressing its own insecurity. Despite the fact that its control barely extends beyond parts of the capital, Somalia’s leadership continues to pursue militarized ambitions abroad. In one telling example, Defence Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi was recently photographed in Serbia inspecting advanced weaponry. Serbia, known both for its legal arms industry and its shadowy black-market trade, has become a supplier of choice for Mogadishu’s opaque acquisitions. Weapons obtained through these channels often lack safeguards, with many diverted to extremist groups or resold by politically connected businessmen. Credible reports suggest that some of these businessmen operate in close coordination with government officials, including Minister Fiqi himself, who allegedly facilitates deals to profit from arms resales under official cover. This web of profiteering and politics represents not only a domestic scandal but also a looming threat to regional security. China’s Covert Role: Financing Without Fingerprints Overlaying this picture is China’s discreet involvement. Beijing is said to be financing Somalia’s arms purchases while ensuring its own role remains hidden. The mechanism is simple: Somalia receives Chinese funds but is instructed to procure weapons from Serbia, allowing China to distance itself from any direct transfer. The logic behind this strategy is unmistakable. Somaliland’s engagement with Taiwan and its growing ties to the United States have angered Beijing. By empowering Mogadishu, China strengthens a government hostile to Somaliland’s diplomacy, while simultaneously extending its influence over the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. This quiet maneuver is not an isolated act of support but part of China’s broader regional ambitions. The destabilization of Somaliland is a calculated attempt to curb its alignment with democratic partners. Somaliland in the Crosshairs The Republic of Somaliland, by contrast, has built stability, peace, and functioning institutions. Yet it increasingly finds itself the target of Somalia’s militarized provocations. Reports indicate that weapons acquired under these shady arrangements are being channeled into the Eastern Sool region, where Somalia seeks to install parallel governance structures and erode Somaliland’s authority. Such actions are a direct violation of Somaliland’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. They form part of a larger campaign, reportedly backed by China, to punish Somaliland for charting an independent foreign policy and pursuing closer ties with the United States and Taiwan. Despite these pressures, Somaliland remains committed to peace and democracy. Its outreach to Western partners should be met with concrete support, not left vulnerable to Mogadishu’s hostility. Diplomatic Abuse: The Geneva Scandal In June 2025, Somalia’s Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs dispatched 23 delegates to Geneva for the 113th Session of the International Labour Conference. According to the Horn Observer, only 11 returned. The remainder reportedly used the trip as a gateway to enter Europe. Allegations include bribes paid for placement on the delegation list, with nearly half the names belonging to individuals who never attended the conference at all. Among them were four siblings from Southwest Somalia with no official role, allegedly included through corrupt intermediaries. This scandal triggered a parliamentary investigation, with Minister Yusuf Mohamed Aden summoned for questioning. It exposed a troubling pattern: diplomatic platforms exploited as channels for personal migration and, in some cases, human trafficking. Now, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is preparing to lead a 32-member delegation to the United States for the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly. The group includes six ministers, MPs, advisors, and protocol officers—a display of extravagance from a government heavily dependent on foreign aid. Insiders warn that, as in previous missions, members of this delegation may attempt to seek asylum in the U.S. or Canada. The trip’s real purpose? To lobby against Somaliland’s recognition and disrupt its growing relationship with Washington. Such misuse of diplomatic privilege is more than embarrassing. It undermines Somalia’s credibility, squanders donor resources, and turns international platforms into vehicles of corruption. A Call to the United States: Time to Act The United States cannot remain a bystander. With Chinese influence expanding across the Red Sea corridor, Washington has a direct interest in supporting democratic, stable partners in the Horn of Africa. Recognizing Somaliland’s independence would not only reward its democratic track record but also provide a bulwark against authoritarian expansion. Somaliland has consistently extended its hand to the U.S., offering cooperation in trade, security, and regional diplomacy. The time has come for Washington to reciprocate and accelerate recognition before the window of opportunity closes. The risks of inaction are clear. Somalia’s unchecked arms imports, diplomatic misconduct, and systemic corruption threaten not just the region but global security. Weapons leakage to extremists, manipulation of international platforms, and targeted attacks against Somaliland all illustrate how fragile the situation has become. In conclusion, Somalia’s leadership is faltering at home while destabilizing abroad. Its militarized ambitions, aided by foreign financing and entrenched corruption, pose growing risks to the Horn of Africa. Somaliland, by contrast, has demonstrated peace, democracy, and a willingness to partner with the international community. The choice before policymakers is stark: continue to overlook Somalia’s dangerous trajectory, or act decisively to support Somaliland’s sovereignty and regional stability. The future of the Horn of Africa—and the security interests of the wider world—depend on choosing the latter. Author Bio: Abdi Halim M.

Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi “Irro” has warned that any group or government that attempts to violate Somaliland’s territorial integrity will face a response, stating that the region is fully prepared to defend itself from external threats. The remarks came on Wednesday during a visit to the General Command of Somaliland’s armed forces in Hargeisa, where the president addressed senior military officers. He emphasized that Somaliland’s decades-long stability should not be interpreted as weakness or a lack of readiness to respond to threats. “Somaliland is a peaceful country. Since 1991, we’ve been known for our stability, which sets us apart from other parts of Somalia. But that doesn’t mean we won’t defend ourselves,” Irro said. “As outlined in the constitution, if aggression comes from outside, the national army will respond.” He added that Somaliland does not plan to initiate conflict but is ready to respond swiftly if its territorial integrity is challenged. “We have never had plans to attack anyone, and we do not have such a plan now. But we remind anyone who tries to violate, provoke, or encroach on Somaliland that their homes will be the ones reached if action is taken.” Irro’s remarks come as Somaliland had earlier firmly opposed a plan by the Federal Government of Somalia to establish the North East State of Somalia, which has been implemented in the regions of Sool, Sanaag, and Togdheer — areas claimed by Somaliland. Somaliland has described the move as illegal and a political interference that directly undermines its borders and political existence. Dawan Africa Qaran News

Abdi Ali Barkhad Hargeisa, Somaliland The Villa-Somalia government is currently engaged in a purchasing spree for advanced military hardware from Serbia and Azerbaijan. This initiative comes despite a tight fiscal situation, as the government has a limited annual budget that often operates on a hand-to-mouth basis. The approved budget for the fiscal year 2024 stands at approximately $1.079 billion (USD 1,079,315,783). This budget, which was ratified in December 2023, allocates $569.66 million for recurrent costs—essentially the operational expenses necessary for the government to function—and $509.65 million for capital expenditures, which typically includes investments in infrastructure and military equipment. The primary focus of the 2024 budget is enhancing domestic revenue generation, which highlights the government’s intention to bolster its economic standing. Notably, however, only about 33.3% of this budget is anticipated to be funded through domestic revenue streams. A significant 66.7% of the budget relies on external donor support, a factor that underscores the precarious financial situation in which the government finds itself. Unfortunately, many of the anticipated donor funds have not materialized, resulting in substantial cuts to the support budget. This raises crucial questions about the sources of funding for the ongoing military acquisitions and ammunition purchases. It has become increasingly clear that the primary financiers backing these military expenditures are four nations: China, Turkey, Iran, and Qatar. The procurement process and the technical aspects of the military hardware deals are being facilitated by a team of military experts from Egypt, who act as brokers in this context. The strategic motivations behind these countries’ involvement in Somalia are multifaceted. One major objective appears to be controlling key maritime routes in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Additionally, there are broader geopolitical aspirations related to undermining the statehood of the Republic of Somaliland, allowing it to fall under the influence of the struggling Somali federal government. These developments are indicative of a larger narrative, where weak Western policies have contributed to the destabilisation and complexities currently observed in the region. Strategic Objectives of the Coalition 1. Dominance over the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden The importance of the Bab al-Mandab Strait cannot be overstated; it is a strategic chokepoint that facilitates the passage of nearly 10% of the world’s trade and a substantial portion of global oil shipments. Control over this vital maritime route is crucial for any nation looking to project power and influence on the global stage. Achieving dominance over key cities and ports such as Mogadishu, Djibouti, and Berbera would not only enable a country to regulate shipping lanes but also to potentially leverage its position in diplomatic and economic negotiations worldwide. 2. Blocking Somaliland’s Recognition The alliance forming between Somaliland, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates threatens to shift the dynamics of regional power significantly. If Somaliland gains international recognition, it could empower this alliance, potentially creating a new center of influence that challenges the status quo. By arming the government in Mogadishu, external powers attempt to keep Somaliland in a precarious limbo, preventing it from solidifying its independence and statehood, thus undermining its aspirations for self-determination and stability. 3. Undermining Ethiopia Ethiopia’s geographical disadvantage, being landlocked, compels it to seek port access, making the Berbera-Zaila corridor in Somaliland particularly attractive. Such access is critical for Ethiopia’s economic aspirations and trade diversification. However, countries like Egypt, Qatar, Eretria, Iran and Turkey perceive this pursuit as a strategic threat to their own regional interests. They are therefore motivated to take measures that would deny Ethiopia a reliable maritime outlet, effectively curtailing its potential expansion and influence in the region. 4. Weaken Western and Gulf Allies The growing reliance of Mogadishu on the support of the China-Turkey-Qatar-Iran axis indicates a significant decline in the influence of traditional allies such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. The prevailing attitudes and policies of Western powers, characterized by neglect and insufficient engagement, have inadvertently allowed these countries to capitalize on the situation, seizing the initiative to mold the regional agenda and diminish the positions of historical Western allies in East Africa. 5. Western Policy Failures The limited approach of Western powers has significantly constrained their effectiveness in the region. Their focus has largely remained on counterterrorism initiatives specifically targeting Al-Shabaab, delivering humanitarian aid to address immediate crises, and issuing sporadic diplomatic statements that often lack substance. Importantly, their cautious stance towards Somaliland, stemming from a fear of provoking the Mogadishu government, has left Somaliland vulnerable to exploitation and aggression. This policy vacuum opens the door for influential external powers like China, Turkey, Qatar, Iran, and Egypt to reshape the Horn of Africa’s political landscape to align with their own strategic goals. 6. Implications for Somaliland Somaliland finds itself in a precarious situation, being directly targeted by the maneuvers of external actors. The influx of military resources into Somalia is orchestrated not with the intention of stabilizing conflict but rather as a strategic tool of intimidation and leverage against Somaliland. There is a tangible risk that these external forces could encourage the Mogadishu government to provoke crises through aggressive diplomatic strikes or outright military actions. Should Somaliland fail to establish robust alliances, particularly with Ethiopia, the UAE, or potentially with Israel and supportive Western nations, it faces the grim prospect of encirclement and isolation, severely jeopardizing its quest for autonomy. Summary in One Line The investment in Somalia’s military capabilities represents a calculated geopolitical strategy orchestrated by powers such as China, Turkey, Iran, Qatar, and Egypt, aiming to secure control over the Red Sea, thwart Somaliland’s push for international recognition, and undermine the influence of both Ethiopia and Western nations in the region.

Garoowe (Caasimada Online) – Reer Puntland dharbaaxo culus ayay ku noqon doonta haddii ay isku dayaan inay sii wadaan diidmada dhismaha maamulka Waqooyi Bari, oo si rasmi ah loo dhameystiray 30-kii August. Horey Puntland waxay u diiday dhismihii maamulka Galmudug, laakiin waa joojin waayeen, aakhirkiina waxay ku qasbanaadeen inay xaqiiqada la macaamilaan. Haddana iyadoo ugu dambeyn ay Puntland iyo Waqooyi Bari isa soo garab fariisan doonaan iyagoo laba maamul goboleed ah, waxaa Puntland la gudboon inay maamulkan dhismay dhabaha ula wareegaan, la dhaqmaan oo dhinacooda ka koriyaan. Hoggaamiyaha maamulka Puntland, Saciid Cabdullaahi Deni waa musharax u taagan xilka madaxweynaha Soomaaliya doorashada soo socota. Sida iska cadna waxaa xildhibaannada Sool iyo Sanaag ee heer federaal kuraastooda la gayn doonaa magaalada Laascaanood, xitaa haddii la aadayo doorasho dadban. Sidaas awgeed, Saciid Deni uma baahna inuu furintaasi colaadeed kusii jiro. Siyaasadda iyo siyaasiyiinta waa guur-guuraan, waana xaalad la xiriirta isbeddelka duruufaha. Firdhiye hadda waxa dhisay oo xoog iyo xoolaba geliyay madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh, laakiin xilli walba ayuu Firdhiye ku dhici karaa isbeddel siyaasadeed oo uu sida Xasan Sheekh si ka duwan u arki karaa doorashada heer federaal. Sidaa darteed, Saciid Deni uma baahna inuu albaabada Firdhiye iyo kuwa Waqooyi Bari iska xiro oo xaqiiqada kasii dhuunto. Firdhiye, isna ma dafiri karo wixii maamulka Puntland naf iyo maal geliyay in Somaliland laga saaro magaalada Laascaanood, wuxuuna ku qasban yahay Firdhiye inuu dabacsanaan siyaasadeed u muujiyo mashruuca kala gurashada Puntland iyo Waqooyi Bari.

BELGRADE, Serbia – Somalia has thrown its weight behind Serbia’s stance on Kosovo, reaffirming Belgrade’s territorial integrity in a move that sets it apart from most Muslim-majority nations and the United States. The announcement came during a visit in which Somali Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre also met with his Serbian counterpart, Đuro Matsut, in Belgrade. Their talks focused on expanding cooperation in education, security, and economic development, while also producing a new health agreement that will see the two countries share medical expertise, research, and training. Serbian Foreign Minister Marko Đurić, who also held separate talks with Somalia’s Foreign Minister Abdisalam Abdi Ali, welcomed Mogadishu’s refusal to recognize Kosovo’s 2008 independence — a stance Serbia regards as a key diplomatic victory. “We are grateful for Somalia’s support for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia,” Đurić said. “Serbia also fully respects the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Somalia.” More than 50 Muslim-majority countries — among them Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE — have recognized Kosovo, along with the United States and most Western powers. Somalia, however, has charted its own path, siding with Serbia’s position that Kosovo remains an inseparable part of its territory. Đurić stressed the value of that alignment: “Serbia is proud of its traditionally good relations and decades-long friendship with Somalia,” he said. “We are firmly committed to further developing and deepening relations with this African country — in the economy, agriculture, construction, education, and through cooperation in international forums.” Shared sensitivities on sovereignty For Serbia, Kosovo is not just about borders. “Kosovo and Metohija carry exceptional significance for the Serbian people — historically, in state-building, religiously, economically, and politically,” Đurić explained. “Its unilateral secession has serious geopolitical consequences for international relations.” Both ministers agreed that international law and the principles of the UN Charter must remain at the center of global diplomacy, warning that unilateral secession sets “dangerous precedents.” For Somalia, the issue resonates on a personal level. Mogadishu continues to reject Somaliland’s claims of independence, made in 1991 but still unrecognized internationally. Just as Serbia insists Kosovo is part of its sovereign state, Somalia maintains that Somaliland remains an integral part of its own. That shared experience has drawn Mogadishu and Belgrade closer together. At their meeting in the Palace of Serbia, Prime Ministers Barre and Matsut looked beyond geopolitics, pledging to deepen ties across key sectors. The newly signed health memorandum will promote cooperation in medical training, research, and the exchange of expertise. Barre pointed to opportunities in education and technology, with an emphasis on empowering young people and encouraging cultural exchange. Matsut, in turn, promised Serbia’s backing for Somalia’s security priorities, including counterterrorism and regional stability. The talks were hailed as a step forward in building a lasting partnership — one that could open the door to closer collaboration in the years ahead. Đurić also used the meetings to restate Belgrade’s broader foreign policy vision: “Serbia pursues an independent foreign policy, based on the principles of military neutrality, which entails cultivating relations and cooperation with all relevant geopolitical, military, and economic partners worldwide,” he said. “Conducting such a policy in the current international environment is not easy, but it is the right course of action and in the interest of the Republic of Serbia.” For Serbia, Somalia’s backing carries both symbolic and strategic weight. It reinforces Belgrade’s campaign to block Kosovo’s full international recognition, while showing that not all Muslim countries stand with Pristina and its Western supporters.

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Somalis seeking U.S. immigrant visas will now be required to travel to Nairobi for their interviews, under sweeping new rules announced by the U.S. Department of State that take effect on November 1, 2025. The policy overhaul means that all applicants must attend their visa interviews at the U.S. consular post responsible for their country of residence, or — if they choose — in their country of nationality. For Somalia, which lacks a fully functioning U.S. embassy, Nairobi has been designated as the central processing hub. The U.S. Embassy in Nairobi will now handle immigrant visa interviews not only for Kenyans but also for applicants from Somalia and South Sudan. Eritrean applicants may be processed either in Nairobi or Addis Ababa, while Sudanese will be referred to Cairo. Syrians will need to travel to Amman, or in special cases, Beirut. Globally, similar arrangements have been made: Afghans will be processed in Islamabad, Belarusians in Warsaw, Haitians in Nassau, Iranians in Abu Dhabi, Ankara, or Yerevan, Venezuelans in Bogotá, Yemenis in Djibouti, and Zimbabweans in Johannesburg. The State Department said the changes are intended to standardize visa processing, ensuring clarity for applicants from countries without routine U.S. consular services. Previously, some could choose interview locations in third countries for convenience. Humanitarian, medical, or foreign policy exceptions may still be considered. However, applicants must provide strong supporting documents to justify interviews outside the designated centers. The new rules will not affect interviews already scheduled. The National Visa Center (NVC) will continue scheduling new appointments in line with the updated guidelines. Those wishing to transfer cases after scheduling will need to submit a Public Inquiry Form through the NVC. The changes will also apply to Diversity Visa (green card lottery) applicants starting with the DV-2026 program year, meaning Somali winners will have to attend their interviews in Nairobi. The State Department advised all applicants to monitor embassy and consulate websites for updates on visa requirements, services, and operating status, noting that this new guidance supersedes all previous instructions on immigrant visa interview arrangements.

Mandheere (Caasimada Online) – Dibad-bax ballaaran oo ka dhan ah ciidanka Jubbaand ee firxadka ku galay gudaha dalka Kenya ayaa maanta ka dhacay magaalada Mandheera ee gobolka Waqooyi Bari, halkaas oo ay isugu soo baxeen shacab kasoo horjeedo ciidankaasi. Dadweynaha dibad-baxa dhigay ayaa dalbaday in si deg-deg ah ciidamada Jubbaland looga saaro gudaha deegaanka, iyaga oo ku eedeeyay inay dhibaato ka gaysteen halkaasi. Sidoo kale dibad-baxayaasha oo watay boorar iyo calaamado ay ku qornaayeen ereyo ay ka mid yihiin “Murkomen ha iscasilo”, ayaa ku eedeeyay dowladda Kenya in ay halis gelisay madax-bannaanida dalka, ayna ogolaatay in ciidamo shisheeye ay si xor ah ugu dhaqaaqaan gudaha Mandheera. Sidoo kale waxa ay intaasi ku dareen in joogitaanka ciidamada Jubaland ee ka talaabay xadka ay sii kordhiyeen xiisadaha ka jira halkaasi, ayna ka cabsi qabaan dagaallo horleh. “Maxaa ciidamo shisheeye ugu socdaan waddooyinkeenna halka booliska iyo militarigeenna la hareer mariyay?” ayuu yiri mid ka mid ah dadka mudaharaaday. Maalmihii lasoo dhaafay ciidamada maamulka Jubbaland ee ku sugan Mandheera ayaa wajahayay xaalad adag, kadib markii lagu eedeeyay dilal ka dhacay gudaha magaaladaasi Ciidankan ayaa ka baxay magaalada Beledxaawo kadib markii ay dagaal uga soo saareen ciidanka dowladda federaalka oo haatan ku sugan magaaladaasi, waxaana weli ay ku sugan yihiin xaalad adag, taas oo keentay inay galaan dhibaatooyin horleh oo ku haysta Kenya. Si kastaba, Kenya oo saaxiib dhaw la’ah Jubbaland ayaa haddane ka gaabsanaysa in si toos ah ugu lug yeelato dagaalka Kismaayo iyo Muqdisho, iyadoo toddobaadkii u dambeeyay qaaday dadaallo ay ku dooneyso in hoos loo dhigo xiisadda labada dhinac.

Abdiwahab(left), Aidid (middle) and Puntland State President Said Abdullahi Deni (right). Garowe (PP Commentary) — Since the drone attacks on Port Sudan, some Sudanese bloggers and social media personalities have spread baseless rumours that the UAE uses Bosaso to launch strikes on Port Sudan. Why Puntland State of Somalia was singled out for this canard when UAE’s parastatal, DP World, operates in Berbera is unfathomable. It is worth noting that the UAE was given the approval to establish a base in Berbera several years ago. It remains unclear whether that base operates or if the UAE shelved the plan. Several factors make the Puntland State of Somalia vulnerable to disinformation campaigns. Firstly, there is an inadequate communication strategy to counter baseless reports in established media outlets to tarnish the image of Puntland State. In July 2025, Africa Intelligence, a Paris-based publication, misleadingly reported: “Embroiled in the Sudanese civil war, Abu Dhabi has established an airlift to supply the RSF with weapons and paramilitaries. Bosaso, in the northwest of Puntland, is a central link in this logistics operation…” Neither the Puntland State government nor the Federal National Security Office in Mogadishu refuted this allegation. The UAE Air Force contributed to counterterrorism operations in the Calmiskaad mountain range, an involvement impossible without Federal Government approval. There is a possibility Mogadishu shared classified information with the Sudanese delegation led by the Intelligence Service director last week, who might have been influenced by the torrent of anti-Puntland disinformation linking Somalia’s founding Federal Member State with the civil war in Sudan. Puntland State of Somalia had to respond to allegations made by Abdiwahab Abdisamad in an interview on Universal TV, where he repeated claims published by Africa Intelligence nearly two months earlier. Puntland’s Information Minister, Mohamud Aidid, asserted that Abdiwahab “is a spokesman for Daesh.” Abdiwahab replied on Twitter to Aidid’s remarks. “You have deliberately and foolishly twisted my statement on Universal TV regarding Puntland’s war against ISIS. I never belittled the sacrifice of Somali soldiers. My question was simple: Why are you prolonging a war against a thousand-strong ISIS force, confined to a specific area, that could be eliminated in weeks, if not days?” Abdiwahab tweeted Calmiskaad is not only vast but also mountainous and treacherous. Given the years ISIS operated there, most Puntland casualties and injuries resulted from landmines, booby traps and unforeseen ambushes by Daesh. Calmiskaad contains not only hideouts but also foxholes inaccessible to helicopters sent to evacuate wounded soldiers. Puntland should challenge media outlets that publish or broadcast baseless allegations aimed to boost the morale of terror groups and their sympathisers. © Puntland Post, 2025 The post Puntland State of Somalia Faces Disinformation Campaign After Sudan Drone Strikes appeared first on Puntland Post.

Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Guddoomiyaha Maamulka Gobolka Banaadir ahna duqa Muqdisho, Mudane Xasan Maxamed Xuseen (Muungaab), ayaa maanta ka farxiyay Caa’isha Aadan Ugaas oo ah gabadhii sanadkan kaalinta 1-aad ka gashay imtixaanka Fasalka 12-aad ee dugsiyada sare dalka, kaas oo ay qaaday Wasaaradda Waxbarashada Soomaaliya. Duqa Muqdisho ayaa kafaalo-qaad nololeed iyo taageero mustaqbal waxbarasho ah ugu yaboohay Caa’isha, oo ku guuleysatay kaalinta koowaad, kadib dadaal ay sameysay. Muungaab oo maanta la kulmay Caa’isha Aadan Ugaas iyo hooyadeed ayaa u fidiyay deeq waxbarasho oo dhammaystiran oo dalka gudihiisa lagu bixinayo, abaal-marin lacageed, billad sharaf iyo kafaalo-qaad nololeed. Sidoo kale wuxuu tilmaamay in tani ay qayb ka tahay taageerada dhalinyarada Soomaaliyeed, si loogu garab istaago halganka adag ee ay ku jiraan. “Waxa aan dhiirigelinayaa dedaalka iyo dhabar-adaygga Caa’isha iyo ardayda Soomaaliyeed, gaar ahaan gabdhaha. Waxaa naga go’an in aan taageerno sidii loo horumarin lahaa nolosha dhallinyarada Soomaaliyeed gaar ahaan gabdhaha u halgamaya waxbarashada” ayuu yiri guddoomiye Xasan Maxamed Xuseen Muungaab. Guddoomiyaha maamulka Gobolka ayaa sidoo kale xusay in guusha Caa’isha Aadanay tahay tusaale dhiirrigelin u ah bulshada, gaar ahaan gabdhaha, isla markaana ay muhiim tahay in la siiyo fursado ay ku horumariyaan xirfadooda iyo noloshooda mustaqbalka. Dhankooda Caa’isha Aadan Ugaas iyo hooyadeed Nadiifa Axmed Rooble oo kulanka hadlay ayaa iyaguna ka mahadceliyey taageerada iyo deeqda waxbarasho ee uu ugu yaboohay Guddoomiyaha maamulka gobolka Banaadir, ahna duqa magaalada Muqdisho. Caa’isha oo ah gabar da’yar ah, kuna soo kortay agoonimo ayaa taageero wayn heshay, kadib markii ay kusoo baxday kaalinta koowaad ee imtixaanka shahaadiga ah, waxaana horay loo guddoonsiiyay abaalmarinno kala duwan, si loogu dhiirogeliyo waxbarshada.

Nin Soomaali ah oo lagu magacaabo Yuusuf, kuna noolaa dalka Ingiriiska muddo 20 sano ah, ayaa hadal hayn badan ka dhaliyay warbaahinta Britain kadib markii uu si cad u sheegay inuu doonayo in dib loogu celiyo dalkiisa hooyo ee Soomaaliya, isaga oo ku dooday in halkaas uu ka dareemayo badbaado iyo ammaan ka badan intii uu sii joogi lahaa UK. Yuusuf wuxuu Ingiriiska yimid xilligii dagaalkii sokeeye ee Soomaaliya, balse nolol adag ayaa soo food saartay sanadihii dambe kadib markii laga qaaday xuquuqdiisii shaqo, taas oo timid kaddib xukun maxkamadeed oo la xiriiray weerar culus uu galay. Tan iyo markaas, noloshiisu waxay ku koobnayd taageerada dawladda iyo hoy ku meel gaar ah oo loo dejiyay, isaga oo hadda ku nool magaalada Nuneaton ee gobolka Warwickshire. Si kastaba, xaaladda ku xeeran dadka magangelyo-doonka ah ee Ingiriiska ayaa isa soo taraysa, dibadbaxyo iyo caro shacab ayaa ka taagan hoteellada ay dowladda ku dejiso qaxootiga, halka dareen naceyb iyo cadaadis bulsho oo sii xoogeysanayaahi uu wiiqay nolol maalmeedkooda. Taasi waxay Yuusuf ku riixday inuu qaato go’aan lama filaan ah, kaas oo ah inuu dalbado in dib loogu celiyo Soomaaliya, inkastoo uu dalku weli wajahayo dagaallo iyo qalalaase siyaasadeed. “Waddankani ammaan ma aha, laakiin Soomaaliya hadda waa ammaan. Waxaan rabaa inaan ku laabto dalkayga,” ayuu yiri Yuusuf, mar uu warbaahinta Sky News la hadlayay. Wuxuu intaas ku daray in muddo shan bilood ah uu si rasmi ah codsi u dirayay Wasaaradda Arrimaha Gudaha ee UK si loo musaafiriyo, balse illaa iyo hadda uusan ka helin wax jawaab ah. Kiiskan ayaa soo baxay xilli Ra’iisul Wasaare Keir Starmer uu si kulul uga hadlay arrimaha socdaalka, isagoo sheegay inuu si buuxda u fahmayo walaaca shacabka ee ku saabsan dadka tahriibka ku soo gala UK iyo tirada sii kordheysa ee qaxootiga ku nool hoteellada dawladda. Ra’iisul Wasaare Starmer wuxuu ballan qaaday inuu dedejin doono qorshaha lagu baneynayo hoteelladaas, ka hor doorashada soo socota. Dhanka kale, Wasiirka Arrimaha Gudaha Yvette Cooper ayaa baarlamaanka u sheegtay in la hakiyay codsiyada mideynta qoysaska qaxootiga, ilaa sharciyo adag oo cusub la meel mariyo, taas oo sii kordhisay cadaadiska dadka magangelyo-doonka ah ee mar horeba ku dhibbanaa UK. Kiiska Yuusuf ayaa noqday mid aad loo hadal hayo, maadaama uu jabinayo sawirka caadiga ah ee qaxootiga doonaya inay ku sii nagaadaan Ingiriiska, Halkii uu dalban lahaa joogitaan iyo taageero dheeraad ahna, Yuusuf wuxuu doorbidayaa inuu dib ugu laabto dal uu hore uga soo hayaamay, isagoo ku dooday in nolosha iyo badbaadada uu halkaas ka heli karo ka fiicnaan doonto xaaladda uu hadda ku sugan yahay ee UK.

LAS ANOD, Somalia — In a region scarred by recent conflict, the rise of Abdikadir Ahmed Aw-Ali, better known as Firdhiye, to the presidency of the newly formed North East Federal Member State was no accident. It was a textbook case of strategy triumphing over status. Once dismissed as a temporary figurehead for SSC-Khatumo, Firdhiye stunned seasoned politicians by executing a carefully crafted plan. His victory rested on four pillars: a federal alliance, a bold reimagining of the electoral map, mastery of the vote’s venue, and a resource machine his rivals couldn’t match. Alliance with Mogadishu Firdhiye’s first masterstroke was winning the backing of the Federal Government of Somalia. Knowing his administration lacked recognition, he aligned himself early with President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, while other regional leaders kept their distance. The move paid off. In return for loyalty, Firdhiye was ushered into the national fold. He secured a seat at the National Consultative Council, joined the president’s party, and was recognized as a legitimate head of state. That federal endorsement gave him what his rivals lacked: cover, credibility, and resources. While others campaigned as purely regional players, Firdhiye positioned himself as the bridge between the North East and Mogadishu — turning what once looked like weakness into his greatest strength. Expanding the battlefield While his opponents fought over the traditional bases of Sool and Cayn, Firdhiye rewrote the playbook. He shifted attention to Sanaag, a region often overlooked politically but vital numerically. His shrewdest move was appointing Abdirashid Yusuf Jibril, also known as “Abwaan,” from Sanaag as his deputy. Abwaan quietly built the ground game — managing delegate selection and organizing with precision. Rivals underestimated both Abwaan’s influence and the weight of the Sanaag vote. By the time ballots were cast, it was clear the presidency had been secured not in Sool or Cayn, but in the region they had ignored. Owning the election hall The presidential vote took place at Jidbaale Hall in Las Anod — a space that Firdhiye’s camp turned into a weapon. They understood that indirect elections are won not just with numbers, but with presence. Inside the hall, his supporters set the tone. Delegates loyal to him moved freely, his messaging dominated, and the air buzzed with a sense of inevitability. Opponents, meanwhile, were distracted by managing their own security. By controlling the physical environment where decisions were made, Firdhiye’s team applied subtle but decisive psychological pressure — stacking the process in their favor. Promises and resources In the end, resources proved decisive. Backed by Mogadishu, Firdhiye’s campaign had more money, more organization, and more institutional muscle. That advantage translated into incentives. Lawmakers were courted with diplomatic passports, higher allowances, and hints of future federal appointments. Even neutral delegates were promised roles in the new regional government. While rivals leaned on personal networks and local fundraising, Firdhiye built a coalition with federal leverage — ensuring the math lined up when it mattered most. Firdhiye did not stumble into power. He won because he out-planned everyone else. By forging a federal alliance, redrawing the political landscape, mastering the electoral arena, and deploying resources with precision, he secured a methodical — and historic — victory.
