Today, 2 tons of bananas was $380. Out of that amount, $150 went to isbaaro extortion and $130 to transportation. That leaves us with just $100 to cover workers’ wages, fertilizers, fuel, equipment maintenance, and all our other farming expenses.
We literally working for isbaaro
We are not just growing bananas; we are working to pay the isbaaro.
How can local agriculture grow when farmers are left with almost nothing after transporting their produce to the market?

Inaan is-ixtiraamno waa waajib.

Somalia National Bureau of Statistics has launched a month-long MICS7 Main Survey Data Collection Training.
The training comprises 155 data collectors drawn from the various Federal Member States & Benadir Region. More than 95% of participants are women, underscoring the role of women in reaching households & collecting important information with trust, privacy & cultural understanding. SNBS’s Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys engage mostly women as survey workers because many of the respondents they need to reach are mothers & children.
SNBS is conducting the training with technical support from UNICEF & in collaboration with Federal Government line ministries, departments & agencies.
A key focus is strengthening communication skills alongside technical survey methods. Through practical exercises, role plays & demonstrations, participants learn to build rapport, listen actively, ask questions respectfully, manage difficult interactions & clearly explain the purpose of MICS, confidentiality & how collected information will be utelized.
The training will equip field teams with the knowledge, skills & ethical standards needed to collect high-quality, reliable & internationally comparable data in line with MICS7 standards. Quality data begins with trust & trust begins with effective communication.
MICS7 is a major national undertaking in understanding well-being of children & households countrywide. The evidence generated will strengthen data-based policies, planning & decision-making, helping ensure that national priorities respond to realities & needs of Somali families. @AbdisalamHumbul @abdirahm_omar

Waxa aan la yaabanahay odayaashii hore ee soo gaaray dowladihii Soomaaliyeed ee horreeyay, ilaa tii militariga ahayd, iyo sida ay u xoogganayd xusuustoodu.
Waxa cajiib ah in dhacdo kasta, wada-hadal kasta iyo arrin kasta oo qof ama koox dhex martay ay si faahfaahsan u xasuustaan, sidii ay dhacdadu u dhacday. Xitaa hadalkii iyo qaabkii loogu yiri ma hilmaamaan, cidii goobta joogtay way xasuustaan, wax kasta oo dhacayna waxay u hayaan xusuus cad. Ha ahaado nin ama haweeney, askari ama wasiir, macallin ama qof darajo kale haya—waxay u muuqataa in xusuustoodu aysan si fudud u lumin.
Dhanka kale, dadka maanta nool mararka qaar xitaa wixii ay saacad ka hor cuneen iyo qofkii ay la joogeen si sax ah uma xasuusan karaan. Dhacdooyinkii 24-kii saac ee ugu dambeeyay qaarkood way ku adkaadaan inay si faahfaahsan u sheegaan; qaarna haddii fiidkii la weydiiyo waxa ay quraacdeen, xitaa quraacdoodii way hilmaameen.
Runtii, farqiga u dhexeeya xusuusta jiilashii hore iyo tan dadka maanta nool waa arrin mudan in laga fikiro. Maxaa sababay in odayaashii hore ay dhacdooyin tobannaan sano ka hor dhacay u xasuustaan si faahfaahsan, halka qofka maanta nool uu mararka qaar illoobo wax dhacay saacado yar ka hor?
Cilmibaarisyo dheeri ah in dhankaa laga sameeyo aad bey u wanaagsantahay

Today, 1 August 2026, we commemorate the 28th anniversary of the establishment of the Puntland, a historic moment born from sincere consultations, collective aspirations, and a shared determination to create a new political path for Somalia based on federalism. The founders of Puntland laid the foundation for a model of self-governance and contributed to the broader vision of rebuilding the Somali state. Although federalism has become part of Somalia’s constitutional order, the journey of state-building remains a responsibility that requires wisdom, unity, and commitment from all Somalis.
On this occasion, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the people of Puntland and to all Somalis who see this day as a symbol of hope, resilience, and a new beginning in Somalia’s state-building journey. I offer my special congratulations to President Said Abdullahi Deni, the Puntland Government, and parliament. I also pray that Allah (SWT) grants mercy to the founders of Puntland, rewards them for their vision and sacrifices, and blesses all those who continue serving the cause of peace, stability, and development.
May this 28th anniversary bring a renewed spirit of dialogue and reconciliation among Somalis, and may it open the door for a lasting political understanding between the Federal Government of Somalia and its opposition. May Allah guide our leaders toward wisdom, unity, and may this anniversary strengthen our collective hope for a peaceful, prosperous, and united Somalia.

Midnight Mogadishu
Three things impressed me on my second foray into the City. First, I visited an upscale restaurant for dinner. The restaurant, located at Baraka Mall, is part of a modest modernist mixed use building of about eight or nine stories, featuring multi residential floors at the top. A floor below the residential units is dedicated to apparel selling designers clothings and shoes. Some of the tenants include Levi’s, Gap and a couple of European outlets I am not familiar with. Right on top of the restaurant is a huge grocery with varieties of food to choose from. The restaurant occupies the first floor with a huge terrace used as a dining area. It also serves as part of a bistro.
Papparoti, located on the first floor, is an international chain restaurant popular among the young urbanites. But the main attraction is the anchor restaurant which serves high end meat dishes. The oven roasted beef and lamb meat are a lot better, well seasoned, and tastier than the popular Brazilian Fogo de chao. The price is inviting and portions are hefty: Two huge plates can easily serve five or six people.
My most impressive and pleasant experience was the number of young and beautiful women who work as receptionists and waiters. I have seen over 15 young Somali women serving the restaurant. This was a new experience for me to see independent Somali women working and earning clean market-based wages. Their smiley, fearless, and outgoing attitude still under their beautiful Hijab that augments their naturalness and Somali beauty really impressed me. They lightened my heart.
Somalia may have fallen temporarily but it is certainly rising out of the ashes. With conflict, goes a Somali adage, boys and girls perish; but with peace the same cohort thrives. Mogadishu and its youth is thriving with peace.

A Somali delegation led by SNBS Deputy Director General is participating in the 10th International Conference on Agricultural Statistics (ICAS X) in Kraków, Poland. Conference convenes National Statistical Offices, international organizations, academia & development partners to advance innovation, collaboration & data-based policymaking through stronger agricultural statistics.
During the conference, SNBS showcased Somalia’s progress in strengthening National Statistical System & modernizing production of official statistics. The delegation exchanged knowledge & good practices with fellow National Statistical Offices & development partners, such as FAO, World Bank & United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), on emerging approaches to agricultural & official statistics.
On the sidelines of the conference, the delegation held a productive meeting with Jose Rosero Moncayo, Chief Statistician of FAO to explore collaboration on Somalia’s forthcoming Agricultural Census. Discussions focused on census methodology, questionnaire design, implementation modalities & technical cooperation to support planning & delivery of this important national exercise.
Held under the theme, “Innovative Data Approaches: Shaping Resilient and Sustainable Agri-Food Systems in the Digital Age,” ICAS X highlights the transformative role of geospatial technologies, artificial intelligence & integrated data systems in strengthening agricultural statistics. SNBS continues to adopt international best practices to deliver high-quality official statistics that support Vision 2060, NTP 2025–2029, sustainable development through informed decision-making in Somalia. #ICASX #AgStats #OfficialStatistics #DataForDevelopment @AbdisalamHumbul @abdirahm_omar
