Peacebuilding, conflict, diplomacy and development. Baseball and Liverpool fan. Currently in East Africa. Love a good quiz.
I had the great pleasure of helping to staff the King's Birthday Party in Mogadishu yesterday. During the festivities we heard the brilliant poem by Zahra Abdihaye entitled: (Ruunta) Hadi Kale Waxaan Laha. I think it means 'I still have the truth'. If you have a better translation let me know.

Positive news that both leading candidates are committed to respecting the results.
UPDATE on Somaliland Elections: Sitting President is currently leading in the capital, Hargeisa, but trailing in other regions. While some reports of irregularities have emerged, tensions are cooling. In a recent speech, Bihi assured that if he loses, he’ll step down peacefully. Counting continues.

Fascinating wait now to find out how the elections have gone in Somaliland today. Arguably, the most important election for East Africa this year.
