By Ismail H.WarsameWarsame Digital Media(WDM) Somalia stands at a precipice, haunted by a single, unavoidable question: where do we go from here? In the north, Puntland State—the federation’s last functioning polity—is concluding a grueling campaign against ISIS in the Cal-Miskaad ranges. The black flags have been torn down, but the war drums echo from the Calmadoow Mountains, where Al-Shabab’s shadow government still levies taxes, enforces its rule, and harvests the disillusioned....

By Ismail H. Warsame, WDM In the glittering hall of white linen and bottled milk, men and women gather — not merely for a wedding, but for the continuation of an ancient Somali ritual: the binding of clans through marriage. Behind the laughter, the speeches, and the perfumed atmosphere lies a silent constitution — older than any written law — where kinship replaces contracts, and bloodlines define both politics and peace....

By Ismail H. Warsame, Qardho, Karkaar Region, Puntland There was a time when Qardho’s air was thick with argument, debate, and political ferment — a city that never slept without a new controversy. From clan assemblies to student circles, from mosques to teashops, the voice of Qardho was the pulse of Puntland’s civic life. It was here that ideas clashed, policies were tested, and political currents were sensed before they reached Garowe....

By Ismail H. WarsameCity of Qardho, Karkaar Region, Puntland When a leader exhausts all logic, he resorts to decrees. When that leader is Firdhiye, the result is an economic su***de pact, imposed upon the already-battered families of Laascaanood. In a move that would embarrass the most creative of Mogadishu's financiers, the so-called Firdhiye Administration has demanded that local financial institutions and telecom-linked money transfer agencies surrender five million U.S....

By Ismail H. Warsame, City of Qardho, Karkaar Region In a fresh display of political blindness, a cluster of self-styled “Puntland opposition parties,” mostly operating from Mogadishu hotel lobbies and political backrooms, have voiced their opposition to the recent Puntland–Somaliland understanding on security cooperation. It is an unfortunate, though predictable, stance — one that exposes their detachment from Puntland’s ground realities and their quiet servitude to DamilJadiid’s shadow networks in Villa Somalia....

By Ismail H. Warsame In a rare moment of political sobriety, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Jubaland leader Ahmed Mohamed Islam “Madoobe” sat across from each other in Kismayo yesterday — a meeting many in Somalia’s fractured political scene never thought possible. Yet, instead of welcoming this bold act of dialogue, much of the public chatter — the “political noise machine” of Mogadishu — has chosen to focus on what might have gone wrong, rather than what finally went right....

By Ismail H. Warsame, WDM Founder Introduction: The Echo of Old Wounds In the current uproar surrounding Puntland–Somaliland “security cooperation,” one hears not so much the clash of political logic as the tremor of old psychological fears. Laascaanood’s anxiety is not rooted in facts or tangible concessions but in the emotional residue of betrayal, marginalization, and historical trauma. The real problem is not that Garowe and Hargeisa talk—it’s that Laascaanood has never fully trusted anyone to talk on its behalf without suspicion of being sold out....

By Ismail H. Warsame | WDM Analysis 1. Introduction: The Danger of Historical Simplification The digital age has democratized history-telling but also weaponized misinformation. Social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) have turned complex historical debates into viral narratives built on partial truths and populist outrage. One such case is the viral thread by , which purports to expose the “corruption and failures” of Somalia’s first civilian government under President Aden Abdulle Osman (Aden Adde) between 1960 and 1969....

By Ismail H. Warsame In Somali politics, déjà vu is not a coincidence—it’s a governing principle. What you saw yesterday, you’ll see again tomorrow, only with a new set of tired faces pretending to be reformers. The script is older than the Somali Republic itself: clans quarrel, politicians pretend, donors pay, and the people pray. Two constants define this endless political rerun: Clan and Conflict....

By Ismail H. Warsame Abstract This paper explores the paradoxical nature of Somali political and social behavior through the lens of history, identity, and clannism. It argues that the unpredictable alliances and betrayals that define Somali politics are not mere political opportunism, but deeply rooted in the social structure and survival mechanisms of a pastoral society. The central thesis posits that the permanence of clannism, rather than ideology or religion, defines Somali identity and continues to shape its volatile political landscape....
