Europe’s Message Is Clear: Tolerance Cannot Be a Cover for Extremism

By
  Today’s demonstrations across Berlin, London, and Paris sent a message louder than any political statement: Europeans are no longer willing to watch their societies drift toward instability under the banner of “tolerance.” The crowds that filled the streets were not driven by hatred or exclusion — they were driven by a simple demand that every government should take seriously: security first. For years, extremist networks — especially the Muslim Brotherhood — have learned how to operate behind the shield of religious discourse. They present themselves as community leaders, activists, or “voices of the marginalized,” all while pushing agendas that undermine national cohesion, exploit public freedoms, and create parallel societies. Europe’s mistake was assuming these groups were harmless. But as today’s protests showed, citizens have learned the truth the hard way. They’ve watched radical narratives spread in schools and community centers, foreign-funded networks penetrate local ...

UAE's Strategic Partnership with Somalia: Promoting Stability and Development

Image
By

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Somalia are strengthening their ties in a concerted effort to enhance development and stability in Somalia. A significant development in this partnership is the UAE's plan to build a military base in the strategic port city of Kismayo, situated in southern Somalia. This move is intended to support Jubaland state leader Ahmed Madobe.

The relationship between Somalia and the UAE has seen ups and downs, but recent diplomatic efforts have rekindled their cooperation. The history includes a hiatus of five years, during which diplomatic relations had been strained. Notably, Somalia's former President, Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo, had ordered the expulsion of UAE military trainers from Mogadishu, alleging that the UAE was using Somali forces as proxies to advance its political and strategic interests.

However, in recent years, the UAE's presence in Somalia has been on the rise. With a renewed focus on enhancing their influence and support for stability in the region, the UAE has been actively engaging with Somalia. A recent shipment of over 100 Toyota vehicles to the port of Kismayo highlights the UAE's commitment to building a military base in the city. The purpose of this base is to provide security and serve as a hub for training loyal proxy forces, further solidifying the UAE's influence in Somali politics.

Additionally, UAE officials have taken on a mediation role in fostering talks between Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Jubaland state leader Ahmed Madobe. This diplomatic initiative is aimed at promoting peaceful dialogue and cooperation in the region.

In conclusion, the UAE's strategic partnership with Somalia is focused on contributing to the country's stability and development. The new military base in Kismayo is part of a broader effort to support Somali leaders and work towards lasting peace and prosperity in the region.

Flash Floods Displace 107,000 in Somalia: Urgent Humanitarian Response Needed

By
In a distressing development, flash floods, triggered by heavy rains, have wreaked havoc in the Baidoa district of southwestern Somalia, resulting in the displacement of approximately 107,000 people, according to a statement released by the United Nations' humanitarian agency on Sunday. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs of the United Nations (OCHA) reported that numerous homes, including improvised shelters housing more than 86,700 internally displaced people across 136 displacement sites in Baidoa, were submerged in floodwaters. These flash floods mark the onset of the October to December rainy season in Somalia, which is expected to bring above-normal rains and increased flooding due to the influence of El-Nino conditions in the region, as stated by OCHA in its latest update. Somalia has already endured five seasons of drought since mid-2021, leading to the displacement of over 1.4 million people and the loss of 3.8 million livestock. The recent heavy rains ...

Political Shifts and Electoral Dynamics: Somalia's Puntland on the Cusp of Change

By
The political landscape in Somalia's Puntland region is undergoing a significant transformation, marked by resignations, campaign fervor, and electoral recalibrations. Abshir Omar Huruse, Somalia's former Minister of Foreign Affairs, recently took a bold step by tendering his resignation from the government to pursue the presidency of Puntland in the upcoming elections, slated to take place next month. Huruse's decision to relinquish his ministerial role underscores the gravity of his ambition to lead Puntland. His close association with President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud lends weight to his candidacy and signals a potential shift in the region's leadership dynamics. However, the path to these elections has been marred by shifts in electoral plans. President Said Deni's reversal on holding parliamentary elections based on individual votes, opting instead for a complex clan-based ballot, has drawn attention and raised concerns among observers. This move diverges from th...
