Congratulations to you and the @GSEFForum team on a well-organised and well-attended event today. Looking forward to another engaging day tomorrow. #GSEF2026 @FarhiyaFarah4
I had the pleasure of delivering the opening address at the third Global Somali Entrepreneurship Forum (GSEF 2026) in Nairobi, under the theme “Shaping the Future of East Africa through Innovation, Inclusive Governance, Regional Integration, and Sustainable Investment.”
My message was simple: every partnership begins with a conversation, but its real value lies in what happens next.
As we look towards a more connected and prosperous East Africa, we must create the conditions for businesses to thrive. That means strengthening institutions, embracing innovation and digital transformation, deepening regional trade and cooperation, and unlocking the potential of diaspora capital and sustainable investment.
It also means being intentional about inclusion, ensuring women and youth led enterprises have greater access to finance, mentorship and markets.
GSEF 2026 provides an important platform to bring these conversations to the table. The opportunity now is to turn them into meaningful connections, credible investment opportunities and partnerships that endure beyond the forum.
Because the future of East Africa will not be shaped by conversations alone, but by the action, collaboration and commitment that follow.

it's coming sooner we anticipated.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Heartbreaking scenes in #Sudan — Children, mothers, elders — all caught in a war they never chose. Leaders must show real leadership, and those fueling the violence must stop. Sudanese lives are not chess pieces. Prayers for peace and healing.

After months of relentless bombing, Gaza’s starving families are lured by aid—only to be gunned down at distribution sites. Images of malnourished children shame our humanity. Starvation must never be a weapon of war. #FreePalestine #GazaStarving

Very well said brother. Rizq Halal is more than just income—it’s a responsibility. Many overlook the source of their earnings, feeding their families with questionable wealth.
I saw some Governors in Makkah. I will repeat again, if you stole public money na unajenga magorofa Nbi, you need to seek forgiveness from the pple uliwaibia na ulidhulumu. Allah forgives the sins you commit against him. The ones against the people, only the people can forgive.
