Investigative Reporter
Mogadishu — What was expected to be a turning point for Somalia’s National Independent Human Rights Commission has instead become a defining test of the country’s institutional resilience to radicalisation and extrimism. In recent weeks, events inside the Commission have unfolded in ways that few anticipated, exposing internal divisions, contested procedures, and growing concerns a]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The future is Somalia: The World Still Runs on Oil — and Somalia Still Holds One of Its Greatest Untapped Reserves.

The world has long seen Somalia through the prism of geopolitics and conflict, but few of its people have ever seen the country&#039;s geological wealth.

The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) states that Somalia, which stretches along the longest coastline on the African continent and is rich in natural gas, gold, bauxite, uranium, limestone, and fertile agricultural land,]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Introduction: In Somalia’s complex and often volatile political and security environment, Puntland State emerges as a remarkable example of resilience, pragmatic leadership, and forward- looking governance.

Over the past decade, Puntland has demonstrated a capacity to harmonize counter-terrorism efforts, democratic institution-building, and inclusive political engagement.

Zooming in, the video showed that these people were barely conscious and unaware of their surroundings. The video was captured in San Francisco, United States. When you look at videos and pictures like these, you can&#039;t help but feel how unfortunate these people are and hope that this never happens to you or your loved ones.

            <description><![CDATA[Jul 30 (Jowhar) Mogadishu is the capital of the Federal Republic of Somalia and serves as the nation’s political, economic, and cultural hub.
Despite its significance, the city continues to face multiple challenges, including the absence of a comprehensive governance structure, political interference, and the lack of a legal framework defining its status.

            <description><![CDATA[The ongoing tension between Puntland and SSC/Khatumo is one of the most tragic ironies of Somali politics.

Here we have two regions inhabited largely by the same kin – people who shared blood, culture, religion, and a long history – yet find themselves locked in a bitter political and military standoff.

Both Puntland and SSC are home to sub-clans of the Harti confederation, primarily the Majerteen, Dhulbahante, and Warsangali. These are not just neighbors; they are relatives. And still, the co]]></description>
