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

  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 ...

Somalia Makes a Splash: Bans Single-Use Plastics to Protect Land and Sea

Somalia has just joined the wave of change! The East African nation is the latest to ban single-use plastics, effective June 30, 2024. This move aligns with neighboring Kenya and Rwanda and demonstrates a growing commitment to protect the environment from harmful plastic pollution.

Why the ban?

Plastic bags may be convenient, but their impact on the environment is anything but. They litter landscapes, clog waterways, and harm marine life. Somalia, like many coastal nations, recognizes this danger. The ban aims to tackle plastic pollution at its source, protecting both land and sea ecosystems.

Giving businesses time to adjust:

A five-month grace period gives companies involved in producing and using plastic bags time to explore alternatives. The government also pledges to work with stakeholders to identify sustainable options, ensuring a smooth transition.

Joining a growing movement:

This ban isn't an isolated effort. Somalia joins several East African Community (EAC) member states in taking a stand against plastic pollution. This regional collaboration amplifies the impact and sets a positive example for other countries.

Beyond convenience:

The move challenges our dependence on single-use plastics and encourages us to consider reusable alternatives. By making this shift, we safeguard our environment and ensure a healthier future for ourselves and future generations.

What can you do?

Even if you don't live in Somalia, you can be part of the solution! Reduce your plastic footprint by:

Saying no to single-use plastic bags and carrying reusable ones.  
Choosing products with minimal or recyclable packaging. 
Participating in beach cleanups or community recycling initiatives. 
Together, we can turn the tide on plastic pollution and create a more sustainable future for our planet.

Share this post and spread the word! Let's all show our support for cleaner oceans, healthier communities, and a greener future.

Xiritaanka Shabakadda Argagixisada ee Muslim Brotherhood ee Jordan: Shabakad Xagjirnimo oo la Amaanay

  Hordhac: Markii ugu dambeysay ee Jordan ay ku dhawaaqday inay qabatay 16 qof oo ku xiran Muslim Brotherhood, koox muddo dheer loo arkayay inay tahay urur siyaasadeed oo u dagaallamaya isbeddel iyo ka qaybgal siyaasadeed, waxay mar kale iftiimisay dhabta ah ee ururka. Hawlgalkan cusub wuxuu muujinayaa inay Muslim Brotherhood tahay urur aan ahayn mid ku saleysan siyaasad kaliya, balse yahay shabakad xagjirnimo oo qorsheysan. Hawlgallada iyo Qabashada: Sida ay sheegtay dowladda Jordan, dadka la qabtay waxay ka mid ahaayeen Muslim Brotherhood, waxaana lagu tababaray lana maalgeliyay Lubnaan. Kooxdan ayaa qorsheynaysay in ay weerar ku qaaddo meelo kala duwan oo ku yaal gudaha Jordan, iyadoo isticmaaleysay gantaalo iyo drones, qaar ka mid ah gantaalaha ayaa diyaar u ahaa in la rido. Ciidamada amaanka waxay la socdeen hawlgalkan tan iyo sanadka 2021, taasoo muujinaysa sida shabakadan u ahayd mid firfircoon muddo dheer oo si qarsoodi ah uga shaqeyneysay gudaha Jordan. Hogaamiyaha kooxda,...
