www.starlink.com/Somalia “Starlink now available in Somalia!” With those simple words, Elon Musk may have just sparked the most disruptive technological reckoning Somalia has seen in decades. For years, Somali telecommunications companies have operated in a fragmented, monopolistic fashion, profiting from the very dysfunction they refused to fix. Despite Somalia’s brilliant entrepreneurial potential and the rise of mobile money and digital tools, Somali Telcos have shamefully failed to do the one thing people needed most: connect with one another....

WDM EDITORIAL The political mishandling of SSC-KHAATUMO by the Puntland Government marks one of the most reckless and shortsighted decisions in Puntland’s recent history. After the heroic liberation of Laas Caanood—a victory made possible by the blood and determination of Puntlanders—the region stood at a historic crossroads. Two clear and strategic options were available for Puntland leadership. Both could have solidified Puntland’s legacy, protected its interests, and maintained unity in the northeast....

It is no longer a matter of debate or diplomatic restraint—it is a national imperative. The entire current crop of Somali leadership, at all levels of government—federal, regional, and local—must be discarded. Not reformed. Not reshuffled. Removed wholesale. They have failed the Somali people. Worse, they have betrayed them. These so-called leaders, parading around as statesmen, are nothing but hollow vessels of ambition....

A Grim Discovery After the Conclusion of the Galkayo Community Conference The much-anticipated Galkayo Community Conference has come to a close. What should have been a launchpad for meaningful change, recovery, and governance reawakening has instead revealed an ugly, unbearable truth: Galkayo is a broken, bleeding city—betrayed by the very institutions and leaders who claim to represent it. The façade of progress and development carefully erected by government mouthpieces has collapsed under the weight of undeniable reality....

The Name Change to “Northeast State”

In mid‑2025, SSC‑Khatumo publicly rebranded itself as “Northeast State.” This move appears to have been made without consulting Puntland or legal advisors, raising serious questions about legitimacy. Puntland swiftly rejected the new identity, reiterating that SSC territories have always been integral to Puntland since its founding in 1998, and thus a separate administration is unconstitutional under Somalia’s provisional constitution.

But it now appears that SSC-Khatumo may have unintentionally exited the Somali Federal structure by adopting the name Northeast State—a title historically and legally associated with Puntland State. This renaming raises serious legal and political questions. Was this a strategic move, a symbolic gesture, or simply a misstep lacking proper legal consultation? Did SSC-Khatumo fully grasp the implications of this shift, or were they unaware of the federal and constitutional entanglements involved?

Will SSC-Khatumo eventually reintegrate with Puntland State, or is this the birth of a separate political entity with a contested identity? The ambiguity deepens the ongoing crisis of state formation in Somalia.
