Was sidelining Saudi Arabia’s traditional clerical soft power a strategic mistake?

  Was sidelining Saudi Arabia’s traditional clerical soft power a strategic mistake? Israel’s recognition of Somaliland on 26 December 2025, and Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar’s visit to Hargeisa on 6 January 2026, forced an awkward question back onto the table: did Saudi Arabia, by putting much of its state energy into Vision 2030 while shrinking older religious patronage networks, unintentionally weaken its strategic depth in the Red Sea–Horn theatre? The African Union’s Peace and Security Council demanded that Israel revoke its recognition and reaffirmed Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Somalia condemned the visit as an illegal breach of its sovereignty. Reuters’ own explainer on why Somaliland matters made the underlying logic plain: Berbera’s location near major shipping lanes, the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint, and the wider Red Sea insecurity have elevated Somaliland from a long-running diplomatic oddity into a premium strategic asset.

Saxwada Islaamka: Mashruuc Riyo Ahaa Mise Mashiin Taariikhda La Dagaallamay?

Image
  Marka la yiraahdo “saxwada Islaamka” dad badan waxay uga jeedaan kacdoonkii wacyi-diimeed iyo siyaasadeed ee ku fiday dunida Muslimka kaddib burburkii nidaamkii Cusmaaniyiinta, gaar ahaan kaddib baabi’inta khilaafadii Cusmaaniyiinta 3 Maarso 1924. Qaar kalena waxay si gaar ah ugu xiraan “al-Sahwa al-Islamiyya” ee Khaliijka (gaar ahaan Sacuudiga) oo ka soo baxay 1960meeyadii, kuna kacay awood weyn 1980meeyadii. Labada macne—mid guud iyo mid gaar ah—waxay wadaagaan hal xudun: rabitaanka in Islam loo rogo mashruuc dib-u-habayn bulsho iyo dawladnimo, oo aan ku ekaan camal shakhsiyeed. Qoraalkan waxa uu isku dayayaa inuu si xirfadaysan, balse si adag u difaaco dooddan: saxwadii qaabkeedii caanka ahaa maanta “way dhimatay”—fikir ahaan, saamayn ahaan, siyaasad ahaan, bulsho ahaan iyo dhaqaale ahaan. “Dhimatey” halkan macnaheedu ma aha in diintu hoos u dhacday ama dadka Muslimiinta ah ay dhammaadeen; macnaheedu waa in mashruucii saxwada—sida uu u naqshaysnaa—uusan soo saarin nidaam shaqe...

Qabashadii Maduro iyo Tiknoolojiyad Sir ah: Saadaalin Cilmiyeed oo ku Xiriirsan Falanqaynta Wararka iyo Mustaqbalka Awoodda Maskaxda

  Qabashadii Maduro iyo Tiknoolojiyad Sir ah: Saadaalin Cilmiyeed oo ku Xiriirsan Falanqaynta Wararka iyo Mustaqbalka Awoodda Maskaxda ( Qoraalkaani waa saadaalin cilmiyeed: wuxuu ka duulayaa warar la soo tebiyay, balse qaybaha telekinesis/psychokinesis/time travel waa aragti-yaal iyo qiyaas cilmiyeed, ma aha xaqiiqo saynis sugay ) 1) Hordhac: Qabasho si degdeg ah u dhacday, iyo su’aasha tiknoolojiyadda “aan la arkin” Bilowga Janaayo 2026, dunidu waxay daawatay warar sheegaya in Nicolás Maduro—madaxweynihii Venezuela—lagu qabtay hawlgal militari oo Maraykanku hoggaaminayo, isagoo loo taxaabay xabsi ku yaal magaalada New York si uu maxkamad u hor tago. Hadal-heynta ugu weyn ma ahayn oo keliya “in la qabtay,” balse waxay ahayd sida ay u dhacday: xawaare, saxnaan, iyo awood hawlgal oo u muuqata mid ka baxsan caadiga. Halkaas ayay ka dhalataa su’aasha maqaalkaan udub-dhexaadka u ah: Haddii hawlgalka la sheegay uu adeegsaday sirdoon, diyaarado, iyo jamming, ma suuragalbaa in uu jiray ...

Dood: Gooni-isutaaga Somaliland iyo Puntland vs Midowga Soomaaliya

Image
  Dood: Gooni-isutaaga Somaliland iyo Puntland vs Midowga Soomaaliya Hordhac Soomaaliya waxaa ka jira dood adag oo u dhaxaysa kuwa u ololeeya gooni-isu-taagga (oo ay hoggaaminayaan Somaliland iyo Puntland) iyo kuwa ku adkeysanaya midnimada Soomaaliya (dowladda federaalka iyo inta kale ee shacabka Soomaaliyeed). Tan iyo burburkii dowladdii dhexe ee 1991, Somaliland waxay isku magacawday jamhuuriyad madax-bannaan oo 34 sano jirtay, halka inta kale ee Soomaaliya ay la daalaa-dhacaysay dagaallo sokeeye, jahawareer siyaasadeed iyo dib-u-dhis qaran. Gooni-isu-taagu waxay ku doodayaan in mudadaas dheer ay sugayeen in Soomaaliya dib cagaha isugu taagto balse ay weli fowdo iyo xasillooni-darro ka jirto. Dhanka kale, midowga taageerayaashu waxay sheegeen in burburkaas laftiisu qayb ahaan ka yimid jabkii ay ku dhigeen kuwii gooni u go’ay oo qori u qaatey dowladdii dhexe, isla markaana muddooyinkii dambe dadaal badan la galiyay badbaadinta qarankii la burburiyay. Qoraalkan dheer waxa uu faaqid...

Aqoonsiga Israa’iil ee Somaliland: Musmaarkii Ugu Dambeeyay Ee Naxashka Qabyaaladda, Urur-Diimeedyada iyo Afkaaraha Duugoobay

Image
Waxaa la weriyey in Nebi Sulaymaan (CS) uu maalin istaagay isagoo ku tiirsan ushiisii, jinnigii u shaqaynayayna ay si joogto ah ugu hawlanaayeen hawlihii culus ee uu faray. Maalmo—ama bilo—ayay shaqada sii wadeen, iyagoo u haysta in boqorkoodii weli nool yahay, maadaama uu taagnaa oo aanu dhulka ku dhicin. Wax walba way u ekaayeen sidii caadiga ahayd: amarro waa la fulinayay, nidaamkii waa shaqaynayay, awoodduna weli way muuqanaysay. Laakiin xaqiiqdu way ka duwanayd muuqaalka. Quraanku wuxuu inoo sheegayaa in Nebi Sulaymaan (CS) uu mar hore dhintay, balse aan la ogaan ilaa aboor dhulka kasoo baxay uu cunay ushii uu ku tiirsanaa. Markii ay ushu jabtay ayuu dhacay, waxaana markaas uun u caddaatay jinnigii in ay muddo dheer u shaqaynayeen mayd —oo aanay ahayn boqor nool. Haddii ay ogaan lahaayeen xaqiiqadaas hore, ma aysan kusii jireen cadaabka darran. Qisadani ma aha oo keliya mucjiso taariikheed; waa xeer fikir iyo cashar falsafadeed : ·        Wax ...
