MOYALE IS NOT IN SOMALIA, BUT ETHIOPIA HAS A SOMALI REGION! 🇸🇴🇪🇹 Kenyans taking sides in the Moyale debate need to understand the geography. Ethiopia has both the Somali Regional State and the Oromia Regional State, and Moyale is a border area associated with communities on both sides of the regional boundary. Saying that Moyale is not in the Republic of Somalia does not mean that Somali identity, Somali communities, or the Somali Regional State of Ethiopia do not exist. Let us separate national borders from regional identity. Somalia is a sovereign country, while Ethiopia's Somali Regional State is part of Ethiopia. The discussion about Moyale must recognise these distinctions and respect the communities living on both sides of the border. 🇸🇴🇪🇹 Geography matters. History matters. Somali identity matters.

Imagine calling the police because a 3-year-old is too good at football! 😂⚽ – at Mandera, Kenya

A 3-year-old boy named Nevada has gone viral after his family reported police were called to his youth soccer match in Florida because other parents complained that their 5-year-old children couldn't get the ball away from him. ⚽ Nevada was playing in an i9 Sports youth league against older children when the said incident occurred. According to his family, the toddler kept possession of the ball so effectively that some parents became unhappy with his performance. His parents questioned why adults would involve the police over a three-year-old simply playing soccer. They also alleged that their family was subsequently barred from returning to the field. The story has sparked debate online, with many people questioning why a toddler's soccer skills would cause such an unnecessary controversy and call for the police. What do you think about this situation?

I STAND FIRMLY WITH HON. FARAH MAALIM! I fully support Hon. @FarahMaalimM right to speak openly about Moyale and its Somali 🇸🇴 identity. Our history, identity, and heritage cannot be silenced by condemnation or political pressure. If the Borana Council of Elders intends to issue a statement against him, then our Somali elders, intellectuals, and professionals must also stand up, speak with one voice, and respond firmly and confidently. We will not shy away from discussing our history, identity, and the place of Somali communities in the region. These matters deserve an honest, fact-based discussion—not intimidation, hostility, or attempts to silence differing views. I call upon our elders and professionals to rise to the occasion, defend the right to express our community’s perspective, and address this matter with courage, dignity, and unity. Our identity is not a matter to be discussed in fear. Our voice must be heard, our history must be respected, and our leaders must not remain silent! #StandWithFarahMaalim #Moyale #SomaliIdentity #OurVoiceMatters #UnityAndDignity – at Mandera, Kenya

Leadership is not about the power you hold, but the responsibility you carry. Public resources are not personal property, and public office is not a private business. Leaders must account for every promise made, every shilling spent, and every project delivered. The people deserve answers, not excuses. #Accountability #Transparency #PublicService #Leadership #ThePeopleDeserveAnswers – at Mandera, Kenya

Former U.S. president Barack Obama, said he had stopped diplomacy against Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, without even firing a single missile.

The Oromia government must understand that millions of its people live on our land. You have begun targeting our people traveling on the roads, but remember that you are present in every Somali city. From Djibouti and Somaliland to Somalia, and across every part of the Somali Region, thousands of Oromos live and work there to earn a living. The khat and vegetables you grow on your farms are exported primarily to Somali lands. All the trade routes available to you pass through Somali lands. If we wanted to, we could cut off your access routes in a single move. In Jigjiga, Hargeisa, Mogadishu, Djibouti, and every other Somali city, thousands of Oromos live as migrants and work in our homes. Have you forgotten all these people while targeting our people traveling on the roads? We do not mistreat our guests. However, if you continue harassing our people who travel on the roads, we will ensure that not a single Oromo remains within our territory. We will send them all away. – at Mandera, Kenya
