The political tension brewing in Mogadishu has reached a critical juncture, heavily fueled by the fierce debate surrounding the expiration of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s mandate on May 15. While political stakeholders scramble to find a solution to the resulting constitutional vacuum, the current administration has opted for a path that appears designed to silence dissenting voices. This strategy was vividly displayed through recent threatening remarks made by the Minis

Somaliland's recent move to open an embassy in Jerusalem has sent shockwaves through the diplomatic corridors of the Horn of Africa and the Middle East. By taking this step, Somaliland officially recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, diverging from the overwhelming global consensus that favors Tel Aviv. Observers and critics alike are asking why an unrecognized, Muslim-majority nation would take such a deeply sensitive step that even major global powers actively avoi

Tallaabadii dhawaan ay Xukuumadda Jamhuuriyadda Somaliland safaaraddeeda uga furatay magaalada Qudus (Jerusalem) ayaa abuurtay doodo iyo falanqayn diblomaasiyadeed oo baaxad leh, taas oo saameyn ku yeelatay fagaareyaasha siyaasadda ee Geeska Afrika iyo Bariga Dhexe. Go'aankan oo Somaliland kaga dhigaya inay Israel u aqoonsatay caasimaddeeda rasmiga ah, halka caalamka intiisa badani uu aqoonsan yahay magaalada Tel Aviv, ayaa ah mid u baahan in lagu eego il-siyaasadeed oo aad u

Xilli ay daneeyayaasha siyaasaddu ku hawlan yihiin xal u helidda firaaqada dastuuriga ah, xukuumadda ayaa qaadatay waddo u muuqata in lagu aamusinayo codadka dhaliilan, taas oo si cad uga dhex muuqatay hadallo hanjabaad ah oo ka soo yeedhay Wasiir Axmed Macal

For more than three decades, Somaliland has proudly positioned itself as a rare beacon of democracy and freedom of expression in the volatile Horn of Africa. Today, however, the nation's political tolerance is facing a severe litmus test. A bitter political and legal standoff has erupted following threatening remarks made by the Minister of Interior, Abdalle Mohamed Arab, who publicly declared that the government would take legal action against a prominent lawyer accused of s

The capital city of Mogadishu is currently gripped by an acute state of uncertainty and mounting anxiety. This tense atmosphere follows the spectacular failure of high-stakes political negotiations that took place over the past few days within the heavily fortified Halane compound. Mediated by Western diplomatic envoys, these talks were designed as a desperate measure to break the perilous political deadlock between the administration of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and a

Magalada Muqdisho ayaa haatan ku jirta xaalad hubanti la'aan ah kadib markii ay si buuxda u fashilmeen wada-hadalladii xasaasiga ahaa ee maalmihii la soo dhaafay ka socday xerada Xalane. Wada-xaajoodyadan, oo ay garwadeen ka ahaayeen wakiilada waddamada reer Galbeedka, ayaa ujeeddadoodu ahayd in xal degdeg ah laga gaadho ismari-waaga siyaasadeed ee u dhexeeya xukuumadda Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud iyo isbaheysiga mucaaridka. Nasiib darro, shirkan ayaa ku soo xidhmay is-f
