This book, Diplomacy and Protocol (1991), reflects nearly 25 years of diplomatic experience by the late Mohamed Osman Omar. A respected 🇸🇴 diplomat and author, he served our nation with distinction until his passing in London in 2014 at the age of 77. May Allah have mercy on him.

On October 25, 1971, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 2758 with an overwhelming majority, deciding to restore all lawful rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations. Somalia was among the 23 co-sponsors of the draft resolution.
Neither #Netanyahu nor any foreign leader has the mandate to redraw Somalia’s map. Both Puntland & Somaliland regions are integral parts of Somalia. Somalia isn’t a playground for foreign geopolitical ambitions. #Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are non-negotiable.
Today marks 57 yrs since 🇸🇴’s nascent democracy was crushed by a coup. The Constitution was suspended, all politicians jailed & power seized by the military. This ushered in 21 yrs of dictatorship, 9 yrs of civil war & over 26 yrs of fragility. A tragic turning point for Somalia.
57 years ago today, on Oct. 15, 1969, Somalia’s 2nd President Abdirashid Sharmarke was assassinated in #LasAnod while visiting drought-hit northern regions. His death marked a turning point in 🇸🇴’s history, preceding the end of 9 yrs of civilian rule. May Allah have mercy on him.
Sheikh Ali Jimale (1903–1979) was a prominent 🇸🇴 politician & nationalist who served as a minister, SYL leader & SNC chairman. In 1961, he narrowly lost Somalia’s presidential election to Aden Adde by just ONE vote. His enduring legacy remains part of Somalia’s political history.
9 years ago, on 14 Oct. 2017, #Somalia witnessed one of its darkest days. The terrorist attack at the Zoobe Junction, Mogadishu, claimed hundreds of innocent lives & left countless families in grief. We remember the victims, honour the survivors, and stand with grieving families.
My sincere congratulations to @Sagal_AW on her historic election to the @HouseofCommons, becoming the first Somali-British person elected to the UK Parliament.
A landmark achievement & a moment of immense pride for British Somalis. I wish her every success in her public service.
Sharif Salah Mohamed Ali was an esteemed Somali diplomat who served as Ambassador to Italy, China & UK from 1978–1989. His career spanned Europe & Asia during the Cold War, representing 🇸🇴 at a pivotal moment in its diplomatic history. He died in Mogadishu in March 2014, aged 78.
Abdulrahim Abby Farah was a noted 🇸🇴 diplomat and senior UN official. He served as Somalia’s first ambassador to 🇪🇹, UN Permanent Representative & President of the UN Security Council in Dec. 1972. He later became a UN Under-SG. He passed away in New York on 14 May 2018, aged 98.
