Former Somali Minister withdraws candidacy for AU Commission Chairperson election 230 SharesFacebookFacebook messengerTwitterWhatsAppLinkedInTelegramPhoneEmail Wednesday August 7, 2024 Mogadishu (HOL) — Somalia's former Foreign Affairs Minister Fawzia Yusuf Adam has withdrawn her candidacy for the African Union Commission (AUC) Chairperson election amid submissions from four other governments for the position. Sources confirmed that Lawmaker Adam is not among the four candidates registered for the election. August 6 was the deadline for candidates to submit their applications. In June, Adam revealed that federal government leaders and leaders of four federal member states pressured her to withdraw her candidacy at the request of Djibouti's President, Ismail Omar Guelleh. During a press conference in Mogadishu, she said, "The government and four federal member state leaders have told me to give up my candidacy. I tried to convince them of the importance of the seat, but it was impossible. They agreed that I should give up the seat to Djibouti, who is also a candidate." Adam added that President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud excluded her bid for the AU seat in 2016 during his term because Kenya was also contesting for that position. "I have been denied the AU chairmanship twice. I do not know if it is because I am a woman or for other hidden reasons," she remarked. Somali national leaders supported Adam after she announced her candidacy in February 2024 to increase Somalia's influence within the AU. In March, the government began lobbying efforts and formed a special committee to support her campaign, underscoring the importance of securing this influential position. Former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga has now received another boost in the race for the African Union Commission, as Somalia and Seychelles have withdrawn their candidates. According to reports, the four candidates registered for the election include Raila Odinga from Kenya, Djibouti's Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohamud Ali Yusuf, a candidate from Mauritius, and a candidate from Madagascar. The election will take place in February next year.

Stop crying galbeedi and making excuses for these koonfurian spy’s in borama they want to create havix in borama but we won’t let them

Why wouldn’t we send tacsi it’s an Islamic way to send tacsi besides. Alshabaab was founded in walanweynistan it found ground in walanweynistan 3 out of the four emirs are from walawenistan So stop with the accusations There are as much Somalilanders in alshabaab as there are in the 4,5 bunker government

He should look closer to home alshabaab has no clan what do koonfurians such as this fellow expect when they make roobow the minister of religious affairs the signal u send is that the theology of roobow is correct when u give Daahir aweys house arrest and you don’t put him on trial. You then have no right to talk about godane who’s been dead for years now.

Well if he doesn’t care he should not be president. President are responsible for the people if he refuses to be responsible then the useless parliament of the bunker should impeach him. If he only cares for money and other material issues he should not be at the helm at all

Hassan sheikh is actually the biggest failure at least he should fire his security chief . How could this happen aun to all the civilians masakinta la dilay inti bugtana ilaahay ha caafiyo . Intu qabuuraha ku mashquulsanyahay this happend

Mogadishu (HOL) — Suspected al-Shabaab militants launched a deadly attack on the popular Liido Beach in Mogadishu on Friday evening, killing and injuring multiple people. The attack began with a suicide bomber detonating an explosive vest at the Beach View restaurant, followed by gunmen storming the premises, according to local authorities and eyewitnesses. Video footage from the scene shows people fleeing as heavy gunfire erupted. Witnesses described horrific scenes with bodies scattered across the beach as emergency services rushed to assist the wounded. Government forces quickly engaged the attackers in a fierce gun battle. "The ruthless terrorists attacked innocent civilians at Lido beach in Mogadishu's Abdiaziz district on Friday evening. The security forces eliminated all the terrorists behind the cowardly attack. Medical teams and security forces are on the ground to assist the victims wounded in the attacks," Somalia's state broadcaster reported. "The situation is catastrophic," said a resident. "There are many dead and injured, and the full extent of the casualties is still unclear." The attack is part of a series of violent assaults by al-Shabaab in the Liido Beach area in recent years. The militant group has repeatedly targeted civilians enjoying the popular beach destination. Somali security agencies have cordoned off the area and are searching for any remaining attackers. Ambulances have been seen transporting the injured to nearby hospitals while government soldiers continue to secure the beach and surrounding buildings. The Somali government and international partners have condemned the attack, reiterating their commitment to combating terrorism in the region. This is a developing story. Stay tuned for updates.

Woqoyi it is what koonfurians refer as Somaliland because they are opposed to use the correct term which is the republic of Somaliland . The north isn’t geographic term persay it just refers to Somaliland. There are some area in bugland enclave that far north then Somaliland but it isn’t called woqoyi in the political .And as the hawd and reserve area it isn’t part of Somaliland as it isn’t part of woqoyi though it would be great if it one time. The two were United . But now it is not .

Yes I never said I was reer woqoyi I am actually from the hawd and reserve area I had spent the least time of my life what you refer as woqoyigaa lol

Somaliland arrests alleged Somali Intelligence agents in Borama town 184 SharesFacebookFacebook messengerTwitterWhatsAppLinkedInTelegramPhoneEmail Tuesday July 30, 2024 Hargeisa (HOL) — The Somaliland National Intelligence Agency announced the capture of two alleged members of Somalia's National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) in Borama, Awdal region. According to a statement released on Monday via social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the agency stated that the members were sent from Mogadishu to instigate chaos and carry out planned murders in Borama. "We have captured a group of NISA who were sent from Mogadishu to create chaos in Somaliland and planned murders, especially in Borama. Two of those members have been arrested, while six others are wanted," the statement read. The Somaliland agency also called on the public to report any suspicious activities to security forces. The situation underscores the ongoing tension between Somaliland, which declared independence from Somalia in 1991 but remains unrecognized internationally, and the Federal Government of Somalia.

Arafaat Niikada jooji it looks bad an adult man

Says the man from may may land showing big balls against the Ethiopians while his kin are freely forcing. The Ethiopians to stay remember when the bunker said we are going to expell the Ethiopians what did ur may may president say Ethiopia is here to stay so much for we oppose Ethiopia. You only oppose Ethiopia when it regards somaliland bit of hypocrisy . Any way they were bunker spies. We have their ID cards as evidence I will post them later on

This is good news the Somaliland Intelligence service have done a good job in capturing these guys . They wanted to create a conflict in borama . But they were apprehended before they could do any damage . Imagine if walanweyn put all their energy in defending their own land instead of focusing on Somaliland

Makes little sense but if I didn’t knew better I would believe u lot in walanweynistan hold us to higher esteem at least the noble men of the north their country is free from Ethiopia and not a single Ethiopian soldier operates from there . Yet by the very notion that Somaliland and Ethiopia cooperates it is viewed as the most utterly shameful thing but the koonfurians get a free pass not only to invite Ethiopia they allowed to invite every single African State from east Africa to lord over them .
