@It’s Official

@BBC_somalia is finally suspended operating in #Somaliland by the government.

Why? Let’s examine

It’s Impartial and always looks one side - ignoring the other

Swahili people has got BBC but they don’t feel they’re segregated
Not credible as they started to spread unsubstantiated stories whenever is about #Somailand sovereignty

Make no mistake it didn’t bother to report the ill-fated regime in Somalia or their President who is guarded by AU peacekeepers from his own people.
It’s not fair and balanced source of news for many somali speaking including Somalilanders

Simply because it doesn’t fairly report complex matters of culture and history differences between 🇸🇴& SL

This is confusing for many people Specially those interested in history
— world is better off with bias news sources

Regrettably @BBCSomali is in front of those who undermines the sovereignty and statehood of SL.

I recall this petition by our brother @AbokorYes earlier and he didn’t miss anything

Must be glad Abebi!

Finally it’s the government who listened to us and signed this petition!

May Allah rest your soul in peace Sheekh Adan Siiro.

The very name explains your story of educating people and giving them countless Dawa lessons.

The very name simplifies what a kind of man you were

The very name truly speaks in volumes how humble you were Image
— the very name make us love you abundantly and makes sure not miss any of your great Dawa sessions.

No doubt you revive the Sunnah through the Hadith and story of Prophet Muhammad PBUH

I would not forever forget how you inspire me and many for reading and memorizing the Quran
Geesinimo

Deeqsinimo

Gobanimo

Wadanimo

Are common words which somalis say often to each other but it’s rarely met with one person.

Sheekh Adan Siiro had been characterized as such by many and his legacy of even confronting Barre regime radical views against Islam

Sheekh Adan Siiro departed our world today.

Before he becomes a Sheekh , he was a normal person with a vision to educate his people and country

If you want to see him, you would only need to join him in one of his Dawa and religion lessons.
He was very calm and happy young man, always on his speech it was full of wisdom and advice for his people.

The way he delivers messages was always on very low tune that’s peaceful and compassionate.
— it’s why many youth loved his lessons, I loved it too!

He was the voice for many who couldn’t be heard or afraid to speak if something wrong in the government because he loved his country , cared and always looked what’s best.

An old piece

July - Now after 62 years , Somalia is celebrating their independence from Italian Colony .

The Idea of Somalis to have one people , country and flag hasn't been successful despite efforts made by the lobbyist from #Somaliland
Perhaps the principal was wrong or worse than expected.

Today we hope with the New FIVE regions formed within Somalia and ruled by Mogadishu would prosper and restore hope among people who never had a day to celebrate in PEACE
Maybe this is the Five Somalis they were yearning
— for and aspiring to get one day.

Still they’re searching and only thing they could do is to dance on 1 Jul as it was a day that brought joy and happiness.

On contrary it was a day that witnessed the birth of a merciless and totalitarian state, one that committed a genocide

Somaliland wasn't born in 18 may but 26 June and if we want to tell our story to the world then it's that very time and year which we took our independence from Britain which gives us a fair share of the nations that had taken independence too from European
— Colonists but that's not the reality on the ground today and that's not what the debate about Somaliland quest for recognition is at least from views of the historians, theologians, authors or even experts, today our history of a nation

“Unroll” @threadreaderapp
existence and being was violated and world as whole consider us as we're part of Somalia. Make no mistake this is nothing but a big lie Somalia was selling to the world over years and for some how they did their home work while we end up dancing and singing on days that's so

1/7 An Old piece about Morsy - the human and the President!

Ever murdered an elected president through trial? Well it happened June 17, 2019 exactly after six years of being elected. The place is Egypt and the Victim is Mohamed Morsy , a man who wasn’t suppressing Egyptians …
In the first place nor he was a president for life, his only crime was that his people chose him on the ballot and made him the first ever elected president on Egypt, Something even the late Anwar Al Saddat didn’t reach but for Morsy it was a victory for his people and country …
Which showed the world the voice for the powerless could overthrow the most powerful in the office!

The change everybody was yearning for was on reach as it had started with people casting their votes and ended with electing who they need for the first time!

1/3 Let’s try out
my first spoken word

They call me a warrior. They call me a fighter

I listen to them but again I know deep in my heart I’m just a learner.

A life learner or someone who tries to understand how the ocean form.

When I sit alone. I think deep that I want to
Stop a time that’s moving fast.
I learned the velocity has rules so do the life of a single man like me.

Impossible is a word they told me to stay away. I listened but again that self packed with Chinese spirit has told me not.

I resist and she resisted back
I know this is nothing more than a family matter where you are parenting and raising.

I know I’m stubborn. Maybe that’s why they called me a warrior. My father knew me this too. Life needs a warrior that can take punch in face, risk for sometimes. I accept
