Just wrapped up a fantastic Somali National Fisheries Week event! 🌊
Exciting discussions on the potential of Somalia's blue economy. Had the pleasure of meeting the Minister, the DG, and a lot of amazing ppl.
Somalia's future is bright!

#Somalia
He was a family man who was committed to helping Somalis of all kind. Today we lost a giant.
My Allah grant him entry to jannatul firdows
Such a heart breaking video, this man lost so much livestock
Out of a 180 cattle, he lost 148.
And out 280 goats, he lost 180.
Normal market price is $400 for cattle and $85 for goats
That means within 2 months this man lost $74,500 USD. Decades of hard work gone instantly 😢
🚨URGENT APPEAL🚨
Donate to flood victims in Somalia, Baardhere:
We have just given out our first set of emergency food packages. These people have no home, no food and no money. They were displaced due to the El Nino rains, which caused the Jubba River
You voted against Somalia when it mattered most and then turned around to support Israel on budgetary increase.
You have absolutely no say in Somali affairs as a US Representative. Any influence you attempt is a clear indication of foreign meddling. Stay out of Somali business

With no waters in the Jubba River, alligators in Somalia are dying by the hundreds—drying out in the immense heat of the day. As cold blooded animals they need to stay cool in order to survive. They have no food & water
This drought has been devastating to the

ecosystem
The ocean belongs to the Somali people and President Farmaajo has fought tooth and nail, against east and west to make sure it is there for generations to come. We are almost there and want to commend his administration for staying true to our nation
Why do Somali ppl think coffee shops and hotels are advancements?!

PROJECTION:

This means Farmaajo will be the first Somali president in history to be re-elected.
I see people making fun of Somali Minister of Foreign Affairs
@AhmedMoFiqi
for not speaking English and it is completely childish. Can't believe I have to say this in 2024.
Knowledge, wisdom and diplomacy are not based on the English language. Somalis should be proud of their
Thank you to everyone who has sent condolences both public and private, My uncle Sayid is an irreparable loss, someone who didn't deserve to die in such a horrible way.
Thanks to the BBC for covering the loss his community feels in Birmingham, UK
🗣️📢 ALL HANDS ON DECK
Call your designated clan MP and let them know that the people want President

re-elected.
Call them, message them on WhatsApp, visit them if you are in Somalia. You might just be the person that sways them to vote! Every vote matters!

I have gotten so many messages, replies and retweets of people who have been touched by uncle Mohamed Sayid's death

Listen to our exchange and read the thread👇
I reminded
@AAbdishakur
that he has not gotten more than 2 votes in a presidential and asked him why he is hiding behind the CPC. I told him if the elections happens why should someone vote for you rather than Farmaajo.
His answer? This is not the platform for my manifesto

Farmaajo and his administration need to answer for this
Why on earth is he willing to spend millions of dollars to send troops and arms to Gedo but is completely silent when there is a drought? When thousands of livestock die? When dehydration grips the ppl?
Why is
@HarunMaruf
so sensitive? I made a harmless tweet about it being a slow news day in Somalia and the only reporting is a poster on a coffee truck.
I didn't think something like that would get under his skin. I made no character attacks or insulted him at all. Bizarre!

Did you know that Rwanda is smaller than Gedo?
Rwanda is 26,338 sq mi (68215 sq km) , while Gedo is 32,819 sq mi (85,000 sq km).
The potential of Gedo alone (a small part of Somalia) can blow Rwanda's productivity and exports out of the water. Our country just needs peace 🕊️
Turns out the Twitter account pushing propaganda against CBB as some deranged terrorists was a deep fake setup by Matt Bryden

Their aim was to turn the Somali people against each other. After being exposed, the account is now shut down.

Leading upto the elections, I have been bombarded that Farmaajo only has fake, bot supporters that he pays online. Does the reality shock them?
