Please share this. If we stay silent today, we normalise this tomorrow. Cc: @MoysFGS @sff1951 @FIFAcom @CAF_Online @fifamedia @FIFAWorldCup The exclusion of Somali referee Omar Artan from the World Cup is deeply troubling. As a British journalist of African origin, I am angered not only by what happened to him, but by the cowardly silence of FIFA and CAF. If they will not defend an African official at a World Cup, what do their commitments to inclusion and equality really mean?

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

🚨Multiple ID systems drive up costs, create complications for small nations like #Somalia, says @EngFuursade, ex-Chief of Staff, Villa Somalia. Urges #FGS and #Puntland to reach consensus for effective identification.
#BREAKING: Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni has established the Puntland Identity Authority (PID) under Presidential Decree No. 04 issued on April 9, 2025. The move comes as #Puntland recently rejected #Somalia's national ID card issued by NIRA. Local municipalities previously issued ID cards, but the new agency is expected to oversee the process.

There is no appreciable changes in Muslim voting in 2024 US presidential election. However, when it comes to the Middle East, the outcome favors their position. Since Trump has an established record of pro-Zionism, he has what political scientists call “idiosyncratic credit,” …

Today, Africans beg out of culture, not out of need. It encourages me to read the negative reactions of Somalis to our culture of begging. The good news is that food insecurity has many solutions, which many of us know. As Kettering put it, “a problem well stated is half solved.”

Sorry but your writings show that you always seek to please one side or another. During the Ethiopian-Tigray War, you sided with Tigray. After the capitulation of the latter, you totally shifted to the other side. Obviously, you side whatever side your bread is buttered! – at Somalia
My problem is am not afraid of death. I have been threatened so many times I have stopped counting. I seek to please no-one. I hate no-one. I don't accept 'truths' without critical examination. I speak my mind. When I see mad tweets like this, I know am right. I get ecstatic.
