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 […]
Welcome to Somalia, the only country on earth where time itself has been federalized, fragmented, and thoroughly humiliated.

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 […]
