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 ...

Somalia's Resolve Against Al-Shabab: President Mohamud Affirms Commitment to Final Victory

By

In the face of a recent deadly attack by Al-Shabab, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has vowed that military operations against the extremist group will persist until a final victory is achieved. Speaking on Tuesday, the President expressed unwavering determination and praised the government troops involved in pushing back militants from various areas. The recent incident in Cowsweyne village has prompted scrutiny and calls for investigation, with former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed urging a parliamentary subcommittee to look into the management of military operations at the frontline.

President Mohamud's Statement:

President Mohamud affirmed on Tuesday that setbacks on the battlefield or misinformation would not deter Somalia from its commitment to eradicating Al-Shabab. He assured that the fight against the extremist group would persist, emphasizing the importance of achieving a final victory. According to him, Al-Shabab is now weaker and smaller in number, while the Somali forces are more experienced, better equipped, and motivated. Denying Al-Shabab's claim of 178 soldiers killed in the Cowsweyne attack, President Mohamud stated that the group had lost 190 fighters and buried them in mass graves.

Claims and Counterclaims:

Casualty claims by both the government and Al-Shabab have not been independently verified, raising questions about the true toll of the conflict. Al-Shabab claimed a "historic victory" in the attack on Cowsweyne, resulting in the retreat of government forces from four towns. The former president, Sheikh Ahmed, has called for an investigation into the military operations at the frontline, emphasizing the need for accountability and correction of any mistakes made.

Government's Display of Al-Shabab Surrender:

On Tuesday, the Somali government showcased the surrender of a mid-level Al-Shabab official near the town of Wisil in the Mudug region. Identified as Nur Abdullahi Maalinguur, also known as Nur Deeq, he was the commander of Al-Shabab militias in the Mudug area. The surrender is seen as a blow to Al-Shabab's morale, highlighting the increasing pressure on the extremist group.

President Mohamud's commitment to continued military operations against Al-Shabab underscores Somalia's resolve to eliminate the threat posed by the extremist group. As calls for investigations and accountability grow, the complex dynamics of the conflict remain at the forefront. The surrender of Al-Shabab officials, such as Nur Deeq, adds another layer to the evolving narrative, signaling potential fractures within the extremist group's ranks. The situation calls for vigilance, international support, and a comprehensive strategy to ensure lasting peace and stability in Somalia.

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.

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 ...
