Garowe vs. Mogadishu: From Looming Collision to Declared Contingency

WAPMEN Editorial | Revisited with the Kismayo Communiqué Context Somalia is no longer merely staring at an avoidable political crisis — it has now named it, anticipated it, and formally prepared for it. What was previously dismissed as speculative alarmism has been elevated into a written contingency by the Golaha Mustaqbalka Soomaaliya, convened in Kismayo […]

Puntland, SSC-Khaatumo, and the Cost of Unfinished Federalism

Why Un-negotiated Separation and Federal Over-Reach Are Two Sides of the Same Failure When Abdirahman Faroole stood before the delegates at the Golaha Mustaqbalka Soomaaliya in Kismayo recently, he did more than recall a grievance. He punctured a national illusion. The separation between Puntland State of Somalia and SSC-Khaatumo was never negotiated, never constitutionalized, and […]

After the Long Night: A Glimpse of Somalia After Hassan Sheikh

Somalia has learned, painfully, that leadership does not end with ballots, speeches, or borrowed legitimacy from foreign podiums. It ends when reality knocks. And reality, as usual, arrives late, uninvited, and unimpressed. This image—circulating quietly, almost shyly—does not scream victory. It does not promise miracles. It does not declare itself the future. That alone makes […]

Somalia’s War on Time: When Friday Starts on Thursday and Ends on Early Friday Evening

Welcome to Somalia, the only country on earth where time itself has been federalized, fragmented, and thoroughly humiliated. Here, clocks are decorative items, calendars are opinion pieces, and Friday—the holiest day in Islam—has been stretched, bent, sliced, and redistributed like a contested aid package. Ask ten Somalis when Friday night begins, and you will receive […]

Which Is Worse: Antisemitism or Goyism?A False Moral Hierarchy Built on Weaponized Language

In a sane moral universe, this question would not even exist. Hatred is hatred. Bigotry is bigotry. Dehumanization—whether aimed at Jews, Christians, Muslims, atheists, or anyone else—rots societies from the inside out. Yet we do not live in a sane moral universe. We live in an age where words are not merely descriptive; they are […]

PUBLIC NOTICE | COMMUNITY ALERT – PUNTLAND

Beware of Fraudsters Exploiting Salary Delays Members of the public are advised to remain highly vigilant. Reports indicate that thieves and con artists in Puntland are taking advantage of real and perceived stories about civil servants, workers, and members of the armed security forces who are experiencing prolonged salary delays or non-payment for months. These […]

The Ilhan Omar Obsession: MAGA’s Fear of the Unbowed

Donald J. Trump and his MAGA movement are obsessed—pathologically so—with one woman: Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. The evidence is not subtext; it is screamed at rallies where crowds chant “Send her back!” following his lead. It is in Trump’s own words, calling her “garbage” and her native Somalia a “filthy, dirty, disgusting” country. Omar herself has […]

Villa Somalia Is Not Somalia

WAPMEN EDITORIAL There is a dangerous delusion stalking Mogadishu’s corridors of power. It goes like this: “We control the capital. We sit in Villa Somalia. Therefore, we control Somalia.”This is not sovereignty. This is fantasy politics dressed in state uniforms. Mogadishu is a capital city, not a crown. Villa Somalia is a building, not a […]
