@SheiknorQassim , Adeer Sheikhnor, your tweet is a dramatic display of political theatre wrapped in legal confusion. You wave around Chapter 7 of the UN Charter like itโ€™s a โ€œGame Overโ€ card ; but either youโ€™ve misunderstood it, or youโ€™re hoping others have. Letโ€™s unpack your misconceptions. 2/7

Chapter 7 status does not nullify sovereignty. Many sovereign nations have operated under Chapter 7 mandates ; Iraq, Liberia, even Haiti. It authorises measures to maintain peace and security, not to revoke statehood. Somalia is not a UN protectorate.

Why did Somalia sign with @Starlink To bridge the digital divide. Many parts of Somalia, especially rural areas, still lack reliable internet. Satellite broadband brings fast, affordable access without needing fibre or towers.

Dissecting a Dubious Letter: Why the Somaliaโ€“Trump Letter Appears Inauthentic The tone is unusually flattering, closer to political praise than formal diplomacy. It offers the U.S. exclusive control over Somali airbases and ports, an unrealistic claim without any reference to legal or procedural backing.

Mr. Accidental President Farmajo @M_Farmaajo , your statement seems like propaganda in support of the terrorist group Al-Shabaab. The IED attack yesterday was not near Villa Somalia but targeted innocent civilians. Stop spreading misleading narratives and stand with the Somali people against terror When you were president, Al-Shabaab was openly collecting taxes in Mogadishu, and the city was not safe. Now, under the current leadership, there is no more Al-Shabaab tax, and Mogadishu is more peaceful. Stop distorting the truth

The fight against Al-Shabaab and all terrorist groups is necessary.
