Somalilanders in the UAE raising the flag on our Flag Day and saying they are part of us. Love like this is never asked for, it is simply given, and it travels further than any border. You are part of us too, and a gesture like this is something we will always hold dear 🇦🇪
Day 12,365 of waiting for @dinkin_flickaa @benjitaylor and @singhai to add the Somaliland emoji to X. 🤦🏾

🇺🇸🇸🇴 Federal agents searched Ilhan Omar’s home over paperwork her father filed... Somalilanders want to know what that father did in Hargeisa
Nur Omar Mohamed came to America as a refugee in the 1990s, and the New York Post now reports he was a full colonel in dictator Siad Barre’s army until the regime fell, the same army that leveled Hargeisa and killed tens of thousands of Isaaq civilians in what Somaliland calls its forgotten genocide.
Saeed Ibrahim, founder of the Somaliland Chronicle, says the colonel was posted to Hargeisa while the city was being shelled, and he puts the question plainly:
“Perpetrators cannot claim to be refugees at the same time alongside the same people that they brutalized.”
Nobody has shown the colonel personally took part in the killings, and he died in 2020.
Saeed’s point is narrower: when a regime collapses, its officers hide among the people they ran from, and Washington deported one Barre-era colonel last year who was found driving for Uber.
The congresswoman denies wrongdoing and calls the October 12 raid political.
Whether her father’s rank was ever disclosed on those forms is now the question the case may turn on.

You're Somalia. I'm Somaliland.
I hoped we'd be two brotherly nations, like Djibouti and Somalia.
But you said no.
So here we are.
You're my Palestine. I'm your Zionist.
You're my Ukraine. I'm your Russia.
You're my Israel. I'm your Hamas.
You're my Putin. I'm your Zelenskyy.
You're my Ilhan Omar. I'm your Trump.
You're Qabil. I'm Habil.
They were brothers too.

I deeply admire the people of Somaliland
They have the courage, fortitude and commitment to hard work - that Britain once had 🫡
You are more than welcome to Somaliland @PrinceArihan.
As you said, there is a reason why #Somaliland is so admired globally. It's not because we are pumping petro-dollars from the ground, nor because we built a 'Dubai in Africa', but because Somalilanders are perhaps the most resilient people in the world, building a nation from nothing, just as the former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo described when he visited SL. It's similar to what Prof. Robinson said about Somaliland when he accepted his Nobel Prize in Norway. nitter.gq/MohdAz83/status/211444…

Haddii Somaliland ay Khasab ku Tahay inay Dib ugu Midowdo Soomaaliya, Jabuuti Miyaanay Iyaduna Dib ugu Midoobin?
Runtii, is-maamulka Somaliland waa waxa ugu wanaagsan ee abid u dhaca Jabuuti

Isagoo ka hadlayay shir siyaasadeed oo ka dhacay magaalada Youngstown ee gobolka Ohio 12-kii Oktoobar 2026, Madaxweyne Donald Trump wuxuu Somaliland ku tilmaamay “waddan gebi ahaanba ka duwan.” Hadalkaasi wuxuu ahaa mid ula kac ah, wuxuuna natiijo toos ah ka ahaa horumarka siyaasadeed ee la gaaray xilliga Madaxweynaha Somaliland Cabdiraxmaan Maxamed Cabdillaahi “Cirro.”
Gadaal ka dambe, Waaxda Arrimaha Dibadda ee Maraykanku waxay iska caabbinaysay baaqyada Koongarasku ugu baaqayo in wax laga beddelo siyaasadda Maraykanka. Ervin Massinga, safiirka Maraykanka u fadhiya Itoobiya, ayaa ku booriyay dadka Afrikaanka ah inay iska indha tiraan hadallada Trump. Bishii Maajo 2026, Waaxda Arrimaha Dibaddu waxay soo gudbisay warbixinteeda sharcigu waajibiyay, “Warbixin loo diray Koongaraska oo ku saabsan Meelaha Suurtagalka ah ee Lagu Hagaajin Karo Xiriirka Maraykanka iyo Somaliland” (Report to Congress on Potential Areas for Improved United States Engagement with Somaliland). Warbixintu waxay sii adkaysay siyaasadda “Hal Soomaaliya” (One Somalia) ee Waaxda Arrimaha Dibadda. “Maraykanku wuxuu aqoonsan yahay madax-bannaanida iyo wadajirka dhuleed ee Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya, oo uu ku jiro gobolka Somaliland,” ayay ku dhawaaqday.
22-kii Oktoobar 2026, Wasiirka Arrimaha Dibadda ee Jabuuti, Cabdulqaadir Xuseen Cumar (Abdoulkader Houssein Omar), ayaa magaalada Beijing kula kulmay dhiggiisa Shiinaha, Wang Yi, waxayna soo saareen war-murtiyeed wadajir ah oo xaqiijinaya aqoonsiga Shiinaha ee wadajirka dhuleed ee Soomaaliya.
Sharci ahaan, Beijing way qaldan tahay. Xataa Midowga Afrika ayaa qiray in, marka loo eego qoraalka axdigiisa, dooddii Somaliland ee xorriyadda ay xooggan tahay. “Xaqiiqda ah in ‘midowgii u dhexeeyay Somaliland iyo Soomaaliya aan waligiis la ansixin’ oo uu sidoo kale si xun u shaqeeyay markii la hirgeliyay intii u dhaxaysay 1960 ilaa 1990, waxay ka dhigaysaa raadinta aqoonsiga ee Somaliland mid taariikh ahaan gaar ah oo xaq ku ah lafteeda taariikhda siyaasadda Afrika,” ayay ku soo gabagabaysay warbixin 2005-tii ay soo saartay guddi xaqiiq-raadin ah oo ka tirsan Midowga Afrika. Xorriyadda Somaliland kaliya kama ay horraynin tan Soomaaliya, balse Somaliland hadda waxay is-maamulaysay muddo ka dheer intii ay waligeed ka mid ahayd isbahaysigii Soomaaliyeed ee fashilmay.

Udub-dhexaadka doodda Muqdisho iyo tan xulafadeeda ku sugan Beijing, Ankara, iyo Dooxa ayaa ah in Somaliland aysan sharci ahayn maadaama ay tahay qayb gumeysi oo ay gumeystayaashu ka gooyeen Soomaaliya. Tani, dabcan, waa jahli taariikheed. Ka hor imaatinkii Faransiiska, Ingiriiska, iyo Talyaaniga ee Geeska Afrika, gobolku sidaas oo kale ayuu u kala qaybsanaa. Khediwiyaddii Masar, oo lafteedu ahayd dawlad hoos timaadda Cusmaaniyiinta, ayaa gacanta ku haysay inta badan xeebta galbeedka ee Somaliland maanta, halka odayaasha beeluhu ay gacanta ku hayeen inta kale ee Somaliland, oo ay ku jiraan deegaannada Dhulbahante. Saldanado Cafar ah sida Awsa, Tajuura, Raheyta, Gobaad, iyo Biru ayaa ka jiray waxa hadda ah Jabuuti iyo deegaannada Itoobiya ee la deriska ah. Saldanadda Majeerteen ayaa gacanta ku haysay Puntland, halka Saldanadda Hobyo ay gacanta ku haysay deegaanka u dhexeeya waxa hadda ah Puntland iyo Muqdisho. Saldanadda Geledi iyo Imaamadda Hiraab ayaa gacanta ku hayay xeebta koonfurta ka xigta Muqdisho. Fikradda ah in Soomaaliya ay midaysnayd ka hor midowgii fashilmay ee u dhexeeyay Soomaaliyadii Talyaaniga iyo Somaliland-kii Ingiriiska waa khayaal.
Laakiin haddii Waaxda Arrimaha Dibadda ee Maraykanka, Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda ee Shiinaha, iyo Villa Somalia ay isku raacsan yihiin in ka go’itaanka Somaliland ee Soomaaliya uusan ansax ahayn, maxaa looga dalbi waayay Jabuuti inay iyaduna dib ugu midowdo Soomaaliya?
Bal eeg asalka Jabuuti: Sannadkii 1862-kii, Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda ee Faransiiska waxay heshiis la saxiixatay madax Cafar ah oo booqasho u joogay, si dekedda yar ee Obock loogu iibiyo Faransiiska. Muddo labaatan sano ah waxay ahaan jirtay meel la iska illoobay, laakiin markii Ingiriisku u diiday maraakiibta dagaalka ee Faransiiska dhuxul dekedda Ingiriiska ee Cadan, iyadoo uu socday Dagaalkii Shiinaha iyo Faransiiska (1883–85), Paris waxay go’aansatay inay gumeysigaas yar u beddesho saldhig dhuxul laga qaato. Sannadkii 1884-kii, dowladda Faransiisku waxay Léonce Lagarde u magacawday taliyaha Obock. Wuxuu markaas heshiisyo maxmiyadeed la saxiixday suldaannada Tajuura iyo Gobaad, iyo sidoo kale beelaha Gadabuursi iyo Ciise. Intii Lagarde uu xoojinayay gacan ku haynta hal gobol oo Soomaaliyeed, Ingiriisku wuxuu koonfurta ka sii fog ku tolay shabakad heshiisyo la mid ah si ay u abuuraan Somaliland-kii Ingiriiska. Sannadkii 1888-kii, Lagarde wuxuu magaalada Jabuuti ka aasaasay Gacanka Tajuura si uu uga faa’iidaysto deked dabiici ah, kadibna wuxuu saxiixay heshiis lagu sameeyay xadka u dhexeeya iyo Somaliland-kii Ingiriiska. Kaliya markii dambe ayay Talyaanigu yimaadeen oo bilaabeen inay saldhigyo ka dhistaan koonfurta ka sii fog, ugu dambayntiina waxay isugu geeyeen Soomaaliyadii Talyaaniga.
In laga dalbado Somaliland inay dib ugu midowdo Soomaaliya waa wax la yaab leh si kasta oo loo eego. Somaliland waxay sugtaa dhulkeeda, waxay qabataa doorashooyin joogto ah, waxayna ururisaa dakhligeeda. Gacan ku haynta Al-Shabaab way sii kordhaysaa; waxay ku awood badan tahay Muqdisho, waxayna fulisaa hawlo dowladeed oo ka badan kuwa ay fuliso dowladda magac-u-yaalka ah. Hay’adda Transparency International waxay Soomaaliya la dhigtaa Koonfur Suudaan oo ah waddammada ugu musuqmaasuqa badan adduunka. Ma jiro qof reer Somaliland ah oo gurigiisa, ganacsigiisa, iyo hantidiisa hoos gelin doona dowlad aan la dooran oo aan ixtiraamin sharciga.
In wasiirka arrimaha dibadda ee Jabuuti uu u safro Shiinaha, oo ah waddan ay dowladdiisu inta badan u iibisay madax-bannaanida Jabuuti, oo uu ka dalbado in Somaliland dib ugu midowdo Soomaaliya, ayaa ka sii yaab badan, marka la eego sida ay Jabuuti lafteedu u tahay mid macmal ah. Waddaniyiinta Soomaaliyeed waxay xaq u leeyihiin inay weydiiyaan sababta ay xuquuqdooda uga tanaasulaan sababtoo ah sheekh yar ayaa ku dhawaad 150 sano ka hor Faransiiska ka qaatay 10,000 oo taalar. Haddii jawaabtu tahay in barakada heshiisyadu muhiim tahay, markaas kuwa Somaliland sidoo kale waa muhiim. Runtii, Jabuuti waxay ka ganacsataa himilooyinka Somaliland maxaa yeelay waxay ka baqaysaa in dekeddeeda ay tartan la kulanto.
Madaxweynaha Jabuuti Ismaaciil Cumar Geelle (Ismaïl Omar Guelleh), si kastaba ha ahaatee, xisaab khaldan ayuu samaynayaa. Is-maamulka Somaliland waa waxa ugu wanaagsan ee abid u dhaca Jabuuti. Jabuuti waxay ka faa’iidaysatay amniga ay Somaliland bixisay. In Muqdisho ay gacanta ku hayso dhinaca Somaliland ee xadka Jabuuti, iyadoo Eritreya ay waqooyiga kaga gardarroonayso Jabuuti, waxay hal habeen ku soo afjari lahayd barwaaqada ay Jabuuti ku naaloonayso. Danta waddankooda awgeed, Geelle iyo Cabdulqaadir waa inay ku duceeyaan in dadaalladooda ay ku wiiqayaan Somaliland aysan waligood guuleysan.

There is much we can learn from Somaliland
Hope. Hard work. Persevere.
And that in a world full of enemies, we can also find friends.
Someone asked me, “Why visit Somaliland?”
My answer was simple: I admire the resilience, determination and tenacity of the people of Somaliland to succeed against all odds. There is something deeply inspiring about a people who refuse to give up on their aspirations and their future. Just like India and Israel, I see in Somaliland a kindred spirit of resilience, resolve and an unwavering determination to succeed. Perhaps, in our different journeys, we all have something valuable to learn from each other.

Bush made history with Kosovo. President Trump can make history with the Republic of Somaliland.
One bold decision. A legacy that could reshape history.
This is getting weird. Now the Minnesota fraudsters are trying to convince the other Somalians that Somalilanders were behind the ‘ambush of Ilhan Omar’ so it can be investigated… and they’re threatening the Landers 😂
