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 ...

Somali Forces Achieve Significant Gains Against Al-Shabaab in Hiiraan Region

By

In a notable victory, Somali government and local forces have successfully recaptured key territories in the Hiiraan region from the Al-Shabaab militant group. Officials reported that the Somali National Army (SNA) and allied local forces have taken control of Buurweyn and Shaw, major strongholds in the western part of Hiiraan. Remarkably, the operation concluded without any reported casualties.

Nur Mohamed Absuge, chairman of the Jalalaqsi district, confirmed the complete takeover of Buurweyn and Shaw to the National Media. This development marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts by the Somali government and regional forces to dismantle Al-Shabaab’s presence in the country.

These gains are part of a broader strategy to weaken Al-Shabaab's influence and restore stability to the region. Recently, the Somali National Army, in collaboration with Jubbaland State forces, successfully seized several areas in Lower Juba, including Lagta Qubbi and Golhadamo. These operations aim to secure the critical road between Kismayo and Afmadow, further crippling Al-Shabaab’s operational capabilities.

The capture of Buurweyn and Shaw is expected to substantially diminish Al-Shabaab’s influence in western Hiiraan. The operation followed a disruptive attack by Al-Shabaab on the Jalalaqsi district the previous night. Al-Shabaab had maintained control over Buurweyn and Shaw for more than a decade, making this victory a significant step forward for the Somali forces.

As the Somali National Army and regional forces continue their concerted efforts to reclaim territories and restore peace, the successful recapture of Buurweyn and Shaw stands as a testament to their determination and resilience. This achievement not only weakens Al-Shabaab’s stronghold in Hiiraan but also brings hope for a more stable and secure Somalia.

By

Devastating Impact in Baidoa During his mission, Skau visited Baidoa, an area hard-hit by extreme climate events. The region faced a prolonged drought from 2020 to 2023, followed by severe flooding in November 2023. These floods, among the worst in decades, affected two million people and displaced 750,000. "Families in Baidoa are struggling due to relentless climate shocks and conflict, which have forced them from their homes and left them without essential needs like nutritious food and education," Skau stated. "The resilience shown by the Somali people is incredible. It’s crucial that the government, the UN, and partners prioritize support for the most vulnerable and ensure timely aid delivery." Humanitarian Efforts and ...
