To get where you want to go in life, you have to focus on winning every single day. Despite all the obstacles you face, mentally, physically, and emotionally, you have to keep pushing through and showing up, day after day, for as long as it takes.

If a Somali commits a crime in Minnesota he’s Somali but if he saves 20 kids on a runaway school bus he’s a Minnesota Man

Voices opposing secessionist ideas, which foreign powers are often likely to be driving from behind, must be firmly resisted, just as this minister has done. If intellectuals remain silent, the public will be exploited by people promoting ideas whose true sponsors they themselves do not understand. Somalia’s lack of a functioning government cannot be used as an excuse to indulge harmful ideas. A clear and forceful voice must be raised against notions that foreign actors may be pushing from the shadows. Minister, thank you.

Feelings deserve to be felt, but they don’t always need a reaction. You can feel embarrassed without explaining yourself. Feel angry without lashing out. Feel self-conscious without changing what you’re doing. Feel shy without treating the discomfort as a reason to retreat.

I’ve been locked in on building & monetizing products. I know this can benefit my dunya & akhirah, but sometimes I still feel too dunya-focused. When that balance feels off, I remind myself of death, the destroyer of pleasures. Nothing puts the dunya back into perspective faster.

Why do you always attack President Hassan if you’re sympathetic with this ruthless dictator who single handily destroyed Somali democracy and caused civil war that completely Obliterated our state?
So much of his legacy continues to shape our collective experience and existence as Somalis. It would be good to understand the man behind the uniform without the emotional impulses from all sides. Any recommendations for an unbiased or relatively unbiased read on the former president MSB AUN. Jimco Wanaagsan!

This is an embarrassing moment for PL. Deni had failed in every way. He was fighting with the FGS since day one and jeopardized the development of that region. He sided with the genocidal sympathizer break away region and now he’s what he got. @Abdik09764249

The most shameful man in our entire history. Nin Soomaaliyeed oo ka liita lama arag. As Palestinians are being wiped off the face of the earth, he’s bending over backwards to serve as a tool for a genocidal terrorist state. History will not be kind to you, @Abdirahmanirro DISGRACEFUL. Shame will follow your name long after your time in power is forgotten. @HassanSMohamud this too is your legacy.

Well done, and thank you for supporting this young man.

Omar Artan has travelled to many countries on his official duties. Does this imply that all those nations have weak border control systems? The US just decided to kill dreams of an innocent human being

Cumar Artan ma gaarin #FIFAWorldCup oo keliya. Wuxuu taariikh dhigay isagoo noqday garsoorihii kubadda cagta ugu horreeyay ee Soomaaliyeed ee halkaas gaara, isla markaana ka mid ah garsoorayaasha ugu wanaagsan #Afrika. Guushaas cidina kama qaadi karto, wax kasta ha dhacaane. Cumar, aad baan uga xumahay waxa dhacay. Waxaad gaartay heerka ugu sarreeya ee xirfaddaada, waxaadna dhiirrigelisay jiil dalka jooga adigoo halkaas gaaray. In lagaa hor istaagay fursaddii aad u qalantay ma beddelayso taas. Tani ma noqon doonto halka ay ku dhammaato sheekadaadu. Dunidu way ku garab taagan tahay, waxayna kuu rajaynaysaa samir, adkaysi, iyo in aad mar kale garsoorto kulamo waaweyn oo caalami ah. Waan ku garab taaganahay, Cumar. #Somalia
Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup finals, has been denied entry to the United States.

Mogadishu is the best in the whole country interns of infrastructure and facilities. Every Somali person can live in peace and dignity without fear. There’s no other city with that quality. People like you are misleading whole communities. This is ridiculous.
The perspective echoing inside this troubled man is exactly what Hodan and those like her are pushing!! On top of a shallow understanding of governance and 35 years of ongoing political infighting, Mogadishu suffers from an additional issue: its people view the city as if Mogadishu is Somalia, believing they are uniquely entitled to the country while the rest of it is deemed meaningless. Those who subscribe to this weak mindset have been stuck in destruction and insecurity for 35 years, with large parts of their own regions controlled by al-Shabaab. Yet, they oppose Puntland's progress. They work to demonize and dismantle the development and security enjoyed by the people of Puntland - who, unlike the utterly failed populace in Mogadishu, took charge of their own destiny 27 years ago. Today, it is imperative for Puntland to move past the incompetent rulers of Mogadishu. Puntland First is leading the implementation of the historic transformation that Puntland needs: determining its own future and forging a path to become independent from the failed system in Mogadishu. #PuntlandFirst has mapped out a path for its community to leave behind the chaos, the poor understanding of governance, the ignorance, and the insecurity plaguing Mogadishu and its surrounding areas. The days of Puntland remaining tied to Mogadishu's failure are over. This is the core principle upon which Puntland First is built. Othman Head of Advisory Board #PuntlandFirst

An absolute utter disgrace. Referees are selected on ability and Omar Artan is widely regarded as the best referee in Africa. A loss to the game, and a shameful decision by the USA.

The UAE/Israeli Zionist backed "Puntland First" project represents the next phase of Somalia's separatist movement. The project goal is to move Puntland from semi-autonomous status toward full statehood, deepen alignment with Somaliland, and ultimately legitimize Somaliland's claim to independence through mutual recognition. The movement is not about local politics or strengthening PL within the federal system of Somalia. It’s a model that favors fragmented, weak states over unified and sovereign ones. Because a divided Somalia is far easier to influence economically, politically, and militarily than a strong, united nation. Exactly what Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv would benefit from - greater leverage over the Horn of Africa's strategic trade corridors, ports, security architecture, and natural resources.

Dr.Hodan with all the different opinions I’ve with you. I totally agree with you on this one.

Dr Hodan is absolutely right this time. This so-called "Puntland First" movement is a covert operation financed by the UAE. Its goal is to dismantle Somali cohesion and drive a wedge between the people. Unfortunately, many living in that part of Somalia have fallen into this trap
This woman is crazy, she attacks a different group every day, so the Puntlanders should not respond to her, period, not worth it! A healthy person supports a people working for their progress, they don't spread lies about them!

He’s one of the reasons the country is functioning well, despite all these desperate attempts by the RSF-Somali division. He chose to work with his president and that’s the right way.
Any word on this human?
