Somalia's Puntland State announced its withdrawal of recognition and trust in the federal government of Somalia, stating that it no longer recognizes President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud as legitimate.

In a statement delivered by Puntland’s Minister of Information following a cabinet meeting chaired by President Said Abdullahi Deni in Garowe, Puntland announced its withdrawal from recognition and trust in the federal government of Somalia.

Puntland emphasized its commitment to acting as "a complete independent government” until a federal system of government, based on consensus and an agreed Somali constitution, is established through a public referendum in which Puntland participates.

This decision by Puntland follows dissatisfaction with moves to amend the federal constitution of Somalia, which Puntland deemed illegitimate and non-inclusive. Puntland insists on recognizing only the 2012 version of the constitution.[...]

Puntland will negotiate directly with the international community and organizations on matters concerning its interests separately.

Egyptian Military Stationed in Somalia

via african_stream

“Egyptian military officers and equipment have landed in Somalia, weeks after a military cooperation agreement was signed between the two countries. The deal involves enhancing military and security cooperation, joint defence efforts, collaboration in military and intelligence operations, combating terrorism and organised crime, as well as sharing information. The Egyptian officers, reportedly the first of 10,000 troops, will be part of an African peacekeeping force in Somalia, once the current arrangement with the African Union lapses.

The move may well worry Somalia's neighbour Ethiopia. Earlier in the year, Addis Ababa agreed to recognise the breakaway region of Somaliland in exchange for access to the sea, angering Mogadishu in the process. Egypt threw its weight behind Somalia, warning against the deal.

Ethiopia also has tense relations with Egypt. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam has been a point of friction. Built on the Nile, it is set to be Africa's biggest hydropower dam, but Cairo says its construction will diminish the water available downstream. Egypt is overwhelmingly reliant on the river for its needs. To date, despite multiple rounds of negotiations, an agreement is still beyond reach.”

Can- can I ask about the Somali pirates?

Hi hi, Lili! Yes, of course. Tbh I shouldn't have called them "pirates" they are known as such and treated like villains, but they're more like unofficial naval guard! The official naval guard was disbanded in the 90's due to the civil war that broke out [btw this civil war is why I'm diaspora! My maternal family fled to Djibouti or elsewhere. My dad came to Canada due to it.] Anyway! Other nations took advantage of this as they tended to do and started fishing illegally in the waters! Somali citizens rely on fishing to live [also farming and agriculture bc I also recall there was a drought and famine going on] so they turned to "piracy" to stop these thieves from stealing from them! Of course, these outsiders didn't like it and called it "piracy." they shouldn't be there in the first place!!!

BFJRKRKRKR I TALKED IM THE TAGS AND REACHED THE LIMIT I AM SO SORRY LMAOOOOO

Other than Puntland there is also Jubbaland ok lol I love talking about my people's history too much

Below is a picture showing starved children of somalia and food waste generated in Africa

The world's most influential environmental firm, The UNEP is running a launch

Of the 2024 Global Report on Food Crises#GRFC24 to hear from experts on food security.

This following a statement by UNEP reporting; Global hunger is increasing. Yet, 1.05 billion tonnes of food is wasted per year, while the climate crisis increasingly threatens food security in many parts of the world.

Environmental issues like this are still in addressed due to unawareness of the issues and/ or ways to tackle them.

One of the most vital and effective ways tackle environmental issues that involve waste production is RECYCLING.

Here are 4 ways to reduce food waste individually/ domestically

Recycling food by planting the parts that re-grow. These parts include seeds, skin the core and others. Planting of these parts will not only re-produce food but reduce market consumption and the plants performs as carbon sinks thereby reducing carbon and other pollutants in the atmosphere that cause climate change.

Unlike tossing food and contributing to the tonnes of food waste while others linger in hunger crisis, There are many delicious food dishes that can be created with left over food. Leftover food can be put to good use with minimal Internet research.

Food waste can be recycled into compost. The food waste produced by domestic homes can be Millions of tones of food waste that can be used as compost that can be used in gardens to for a good produce of a lot of healthy organic food.

A lot of people around the globe depend on pastoral and poultry produced food. These have been affected by climate change having contributed to the hunger crisis the globe is facing. Food waste produced domestically can be recycled to ideally organic animal feed or at least donated to animal feed producing firms. This can help increase food production, that is healthier as well as reduce food waste.

Egypt’s leader el-Sissi slams Ethiopia-Somaliland coastline deal and vows support for Somalia | The Independent

It seems like every day we're edging closer to global war. This is yet another conflict that has it's roots in European colonialism. The good old British Empire ran the colony of British Somaliland. The Republic of Somaliland is its successor. The rest of Somalia descends from Italian Somaliland, and the old colonial divides remain.

Somalia has been in chaos for decades, while Somaliland has had de facto independence since 1991 and is generally functioning better as a state than Somalia, yet it is largely unrecognised.

Somalia is ready to go to war over this because it's an affront to its sovereignty. Egypt is ready to go to war to protect its water security. There's going to be more of this climate change worsens, with nations going to war over water. It's not just them and Ethiopia that could get drawn in: Eritrea, which took Ethiopia's coastal access with it when it broke away in 1991 after 30 years of war, and the Sudan, already in the middle of a huge and brutal civil war, will likely be drawn in as well. Egypt also borders Israel and has been drawn into that Israel-Hamas conflict, which has already caused a domino-run of conflicts across the world.

Curious why media from Puntland seems uniformly against Somaliland's independence, one might think they saw each other as in semi-analogous situations but nope

[generallemarc]

Somaliland has been functionally independent for decades but is not recognized by any other country, or even other non-recognized states. This would be the first legitimate(aka non-Russian-puppet) instance of a non-recognized state gaining recognition since Kosovo.
