The violence unfolding in Mogadishu is reckless. Somali leaders on all sides have a responsibility to preserve stability and resolve differences through peaceful means.
Actions taken in the coming hours and days may have lasting consequences for Somalia’s security, unity, and future.

Africa holds 60% of the world's best solar potential & receives only 2% of global clean energy investment.
With the right finance, the continent could generate 10 times more electricity than it needs by 2040 – entirely from renewables.
Africa must be at the centre of climate justice.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan took a bold move in August 2011, visiting Somalia at a time much of the world abandoned the country amid heightened insecurity and famine.
Here's how that historic visit provided the springboard for an ever-growing win-win partnership

Abdirisak Aden, former Senior Advisor to the Offices of President and the Prime Minister, stressed that genuine, transparent, and credible elections in Somalia are only achievable if key prerequisites are fulfilled.
He highlighted the need for consensus with political opposition groups, adherence to established election laws, and the development of a clear roadmap for the democratic process, including the creation of an election commission founded on broad agreement.

Pleased to meet Amb. Riley. U.S. remains Somalia’s longstanding security partner and ally. We are immensely grateful for the continued support and are looking forward to elevating our defense relationship as we collaborate on the war against Al Shabaab and ISIS.
@US2SOMALIA

Congratulations to #Somalia.
For the first time in 54 years, 🇸🇴 has rejoined the UNSC as an elected member for 2025-2026 term. It demonstrates growing confidence in Somalia on the globe stage & its reemergence into the international stage after decades of absence.
Mogadishu must step wisely with this new trust & prove itself as a productive & active member of the international community, pushing interests not just in the benefits of the globe but also Muslim and African interests as well as itself.
For decades, Mogadishu was controlled from New York. Today, we have the opportunity to shape policy to our advantage.
Congratulations @AbukarOsman1
