Can We Speak Up?

I write because Somalia deserves honest analysis, not comforting illusions. After serving as Chief of Staff at the Puntland State Presidency (1998–2004) and later with the UN and World Bank Joint Secretariat for Somalia's Reconstruction and Development Program (RDP), followed by service as National Aid Technical Coordinator (NATCO) with the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia (TFG) and the European Union, I chose an independent path: to analyse, question, document, and challenge those in power—regardless of political affiliation or clan. This blog is dedicated to critical analysis, historical perspective, and evidence-based commentary on Somalia's politics, governance, security, federalism, and state-building. I believe that sustainable peace and accountable government begin with informed public debate, intellectual honesty, and the courage to confront uncomfortable truths. I am the author of four books, including Talking Truth to Power in an Undemocratic Tribal Context. My writing reflects the WDM philosophy: fearless, independent journalism that places facts, history, and the public interest above personalities, propaganda, and tribal loyalties. I live and work in Toronto, Canada. Contact: ismailwarsame@gmail.com nattco.somalia@yahoo.ca @ismailwarsame
