WAR DEGDEG AH: SHAN MUWAADIN OO MARAYKAN AH AYAA LAGU XIRAY GOONI GOOSATADA HARGEYSA. TED CRUZ, TELEEFANKA QAAD.
Ilaha aan ku leeyahay Madaxtooyada Hargeysa waxay ii sheegeen in saraakiisha amnigu ay xireen shan muwaadin oo Maraykan ah, iyaga oo aan u sheegin sababta loo xiray. Waxay jareen wicitaan ay kula hadlayeen Safaaradda Maraykanka, waxayna ka qaateen taleefannadooda iyo kombiyuutarradooda la qaadan karo. Dabadeed, waxay ku hayeen hoteel ay waardiye ka joogaan. Waxaan cambaaraynayaa xariggan aan loo meel dayin, waxaanan dalbanayaa in shanta muwaadin si degdeg ah oo shuruud la’aan ah loo sii daayo.
Senatar Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz), waxaad Somaliland ku tilmaantay “saaxiib lagu kalsoon yahay oo dhinacyada amniga iyo diblomaasiyadda ah.” Laba maalmood ka hor, waxaad dhageysigii Senatka ee ansixinta magacaabista safiir Maraykan ah u adeegsatay inaad ku cadaadiso dowladda Maraykanka inay aqoonsato Somaliland. Waxaad diyaar u ahayd inaad ansixinta magacaabista safiirka ku xirto arrinta Hargeysa. Maxaad diyaar u tahay inaad u hurto shanta muwaadin ee Maraykanka ah ee halkaas lagu hayo?
Wac maamulka aad difaacday. Dalbo in saraakiisha qunsuliyadda Maraykanka loo oggolaado inay si gaar ah ula kulmaan dhammaan shanta muwaadin. Dalbo in maanta la sii daayo.

PM @HamzaAbdiBarre: #Somalia is not a real nation-state; it is merely a collection of clans that have carved out borders for themselves.” 😆
Hamza has, in effect, reinforced the remarks made by Trump and the wider international community, which have characterised Somalia as a failed state!

A US Embassy map showing Somaliland separately from Somalia has raised questions about Washington’s stance on the territory’s disputed independence. Is it just a freedom rating or a wider diplomatic signal?

Cruz Puts Confirmation of Somalia Ambassador Nominee on the Line Over Somaliland Recognition
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) sharply questioned President Donald Trump’s nominee to be U.S. Ambassador to Somalia during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on November 10, pressing him on whether he accepts the President’s stated view that Somaliland is “a totally different country” from Somalia.
After the nominee, career Foreign Service officer Devin Kennington, declined to fully endorse that position, Cruz made clear that the nominee’s confirmation could hinge on whether the State Department aligns with the President’s guidance.
In a post on X later yesterday, Cruz wrote: “President Trump has rightly said that Somaliland is ‘a totally different country’ than Somalia. That is exactly the correct policy. It is long past time for the U.S. to recognize Somaliland. Today I questioned the nominee to be Ambassador to Somalia to confirm that he agrees President Trump’s position. He declined to do so. I told him that whether he is confirmed or not will depend on whether the State Department follows the President’s guidance.”
During the hearing, Cruz highlighted Somaliland’s record of self-governance since 1991, multiple democratic elections with peaceful transfers of power, close ties with Taiwan, and formal recognition by Israel in December 2025. He argued that formal U.S. recognition would advance American national security and strategic interests in the Horn of Africa and the Gulf of Aden.
Kennington, who previously served in Mogadishu, acknowledged distinctions between the two and said the administration wants further engagement with Somaliland, including possible in-person visits. He stopped short of committing to recognition, emphasizing continued cooperation on security and other issues while declining to detail internal State Department deliberations.
Cruz’s intervention builds on earlier comments from President Trump. At an October rally in Youngstown, Ohio, Trump described Somaliland as a “totally different country” from Somalia (while also suggesting a name change). Cruz has repeatedly amplified those remarks and called for U.S. recognition.Allafrica
The exchange places the longstanding U.S. “One Somalia” policy under renewed scrutiny. Somaliland, which reasserted independence after the collapse of the Somali state in 1991, has maintained relative stability, held competitive elections, and developed partnerships that contrast with the security challenges facing the Federal Government in Mogadishu. Israel remains the only UN member state to have recognized Somaliland so far.
Cruz has long advocated treating Somaliland separately from Somalia. He met Somaliland’s president earlier in 2026 and has pressed the State Department on differentiated travel advisories and other practical steps while calling for formal recognition.
Kennington’s nomination, submitted in September 2026, now faces the possibility of a hold or delayed confirmation if Cruz follows through on linking the vote to State Department alignment with the President’s position. The hearing itself was part of a broader slate of ambassadorial nominations before the Foreign Relations Committee.

THE SUNNAH OF DRINKING WATER: 6 BEAUTIFUL MANNERS TAUGHT BY PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ🤍
Even something as simple as drinking water can become an act of worship when we do it following the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
The Prophet ﷺ taught us beautiful manners that remind us to be grateful, practise moderation, and remember Allah in our daily lives.
Here are some Sunnah manners of drinking water:
1. Say Bismillah before drinking, remembering Allah's name.
2. Drink with your right hand, as the Prophet ﷺ encouraged us to eat and drink with our right hand.
3. Drink while sitting as this was his usual practice, although drinking while standing is also permissible.
4. Drink in three separate breaths, taking your time instead of gulping everything down in one breath.
5. Do not breathe into the drinking vessel. Move the cup away from your mouth when you need to breathe.
6. Say Alhamdulillah after finishing, thanking Allah for the blessing of water.
📖 Hadith about drinking in three breaths
Anas ibn Malik رضي الله عنه reported:
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to breathe three times while drinking."
— Sahih Muslim 2028
The Prophet ﷺ also taught us not to drink in one breath like a camel, but to drink in two or three breaths, mentioning Allah's name before drinking and praising Him afterwards.
— Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1885
📖 Another important Sunnah
The Prophet ﷺ said:
"Do not breathe into the vessel."
— Sahih al-Bukhari 5630
SubhanAllah! Islam teaches us beautiful manners, even in the smallest everyday actions.
Let's revive the Sunnah in our daily lives and turn ordinary habits into acts of worship.
May Allah grant us the ability to follow the Sunnah of His beloved Messenger ﷺ. Ameen. 🤲
Yes. In his November 10 post and during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing for nominee Devin Kennington, Senator Ted Cruz said he questioned the nominee on agreeing with President Trump’s view that Somaliland is “a totally different country” from Somalia. After the nominee declined, Cruz told him confirmation would depend on whether the State Department follows the President’s guidance.

The Maroodi Jeex Regional Court in the city of Hargeisa today heard the case brought against politician Abdiqadir Abdi Ali Sharay, who recently stated in an interview he gave in Hargeisa that he is a candidate for Somalia.
According to indictments presented by the Regional Prosecutor’s Office, Sharay is formally charged under Article 215 of the Somaliland Penal Code for acts supporting the undermining of national sovereignty.
Prosecutors cited an October 15, 2026 interview with Horn Cable TV, in which Sharay announced that he is a presidential candidate for the government of Somalia, that he entered Somaliland with a political intent, and that he traveled through the areas of Ceer-Afweyn, Garadag, and Borama on a fact-finding mission. The Prosecution characterized these remarks as damaging and a violation of the sovereignty of the Republic of Somaliland.
In addition to state security and sovereignty violations, Sharay faces secondary charges under Article 382 and Article 170 of the Penal Code for broadcasting one-sided media content intended to cause public unrest and political instability.
Furthermore, the Prosecution specifically noted that the accused, Abdiqadir Sharay, stated in his interview that Somaliland's recognition by Israel, the United States, and other African countries does not exist, and that Somaliland's recognition stands only in Mogadishu. The Prosecution stated that this was one-sided, generated political turmoil, and portrayed the nation of Somaliland as being held hostage by Somalia.
