Student to J.D. Vance: When did you decide there were “too many immigrants,” and why sell us a dream? We spent our youth here..., paid what you asked, followed your path. How can you say we don’t belong... and remove people here rightfully? (October 2025)

The conflict in the Middle East has gone too far. My message to the US & Israel is that it’s high time to end the war – as human suffering deepens, civilian casualties mount & the global economic impact is increasingly devastating. My message to Iran is to stop attacking their neighbors that are not parties to the conflict.

Our planet’s future is not a coincidence it is a reflection of our daily choices. There is no Planet B. The responsibility to protect, restore, and sustain our environment lies in our hands.

2 - CO₂ is increasing in the atmosphere. This trend in atmospheric CO₂ was first measured decades ago by Keeling. This has been consistently observed for over 50 years.

Today, we had the privilege of jointly launching with the World Bank the findings from Waves 1 and 2 of the Listening to Somalia Survey, alongside Somalia’s pre-launch of the new Mobile Phone Data for Policymaking Initiative. This milestone marks a major shift toward modern, flexible, and citizen-centred evidence systems. As traditional household surveys are conducted only every five years, mobile phone surveys now serve as a powerful alternative to fill the data gaps between these cycles and to provide timely, real-time insights. Conducted across all 18 pre-war regions, with nearly 3,000 households interviewed in each wave—including about 1,900 repeat households—the Listening Survey has shown that high-quality national data can be collected rapidly, safely, and cost-effectively through mobile phones, reaching rural, nomadic, urban, and displaced populations. The survey captured critical issues including poverty, food insecurity, drought impacts, reductions in social assistance, satisfaction with services, taxation, climate shocks, and the education aspirations of children and youth. While the findings highlight real hardships, they also reveal something powerful—resilience, ambition, and strong hopes for better education, jobs, services, and security, especially among our youth. Building on this momentum, SNBS is also advancing work on Mobile Phone Data (MPD) with Mobile Network Operators. This initiative represents a major leap forward for Somalia’s digital statistical ecosystem. By using anonymized and aggregated telecom data, we will generate real-time insights on population movements, vulnerability, and the impacts of shocks, strengthening disaster response, shock-responsive social protection, and evidence-based policymaking. I extend my sincere appreciation to the World Bank, government institutions, and all our partners who joined us for this important launch. Together, we remain committed to building modern, high-quality data systems that elevate citizen voices and guide decisions shaping Somalia’s future.
SNBS & World Bank jointly launched findings of Listening to Somalia Survey – Waves 1 & 2, alongside new Mobile Phone Data for Policymaking initiative. The event brought together senior government officials, World Bank leadership & international partners to discuss how real-time data drives effective national policies. Listening to Somalia Survey demonstrates the power & efficiency of modern phone-based data collection. Conducted entirely through mobile interviews, the survey captured timely perspectives from households among all regions—without heavy logistical challenges & costs of traditional fieldwork. The results offer a clear, real-time picture of poverty, food insecurity, climate shocks, service delivery & aspirations of Somali families. Building on this success, pre-launch of new Mobile Phone Data (MPD) initiative at the same event leverages anonymized & aggregated telecom data to produce high-frequency insights for disaster response, population movement & shock-responsive social protection. This partnership strengthens Somalia’s capacity to use innovation & data science in shaping policies that protect vulnerable communities & support long-term development. SNBS thanks @WorldBank & all partners for continued collaboration. Today’s launch underpins our resolve to evidence-based decision-making, as well as the role of data in building a more resilient, secure and prosperous Somalia. @AbdisalamHumbul @abdirahm_omar

Since electricity service providers are now receiving financial support from the government, I urged them to reduce power costs so that Somali citizens can access affordable electricity. #SESRP #EnergyForAll #Somalia #MOEWR

Due to the right wing nature and unbiased approach of this platform and specifically @elonmusk I am going to come off this platform and move over to bluesky. I urge all #Somali colleagues to do the same to all for free speech to continue.

“‘Everything about this is a horror,’ said Power. Since 2018, the NESE pipeline proposal has been rejected three times because it failed to meet New York’s water quality standards. The state’s Department of Environmental Conservation, or DEC, warned that its construction would dredge up mercury, copper, and other decades-old contaminants dumped off the coast of the city, endangering marine life and the health of local swimmers.”

UN 80 years day today - deep reforms are needed to save the UN. UN is the one organization the world would need to invent, if it didn’t already exist. When the UN was formed 80 years ago, the brainchild of US President Franklin D Roosevelt, it was innovative and impressive. But it was a very different world. The UN of today sadly is out of touch with our time. UN is on the sidelines in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Congo and Myanmar - not key to peace anywhere. The UN is reflecting the world in 1945, not in 2025. UN need three big reforms: * Structural. The worlds most populous nation, India, should urgently become permanent member of the Security Council. EU must replace France and United Kingdom. Africa and other parts of the Global South must be represented. UN must reflect the power, economy and population of the 21st, not the 20 century. * Cultural. The UN is focused on process, not on results. It does not understand the importance of business. The UN must put people front and center - fighting poverty, bringing best ideas for education and health, lead the green transformation. * Leadership. In its 80 years of history the UN has never had such a poor leadership. The current Secretary General is incompetent and acting as the world’s doomsayer in chief rather than inspiring people. Anyone who wish to understand how a good leader from the global south can put UN center stage again, please read about how U Thant made UN relevant in the 1960s: thantmyintu.com/peacemaker. Without deep reforms UN will die a slow and painful death.
