Emergency Aid Delivery in Middle Shabelle Region

Published

on

The Somali Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA) has initiated a crucial relief operation, deploying eleven trucks laden with emergency food supplies and medical aid to the Nuur-Dugle and Aqab-Duco areas in the Hirshabelle State. This intervention targets families displaced by ongoing counterterrorism efforts, addressing immediate needs in a region grappling with security challenges.

Sahra Ali Yusuf, director of SoDMA’s relief department, emphasized the critical nature of the aid, particularly for families who have been uprooted due to military operations. The provision prioritizes vulnerable populations, notably mothers and children, who are at heightened risk of food insecurity amidst the instability.

The dispatched medical supplies are set to play a vital role, alleviating some of the urgent health issues faced by the displaced communities. The availability of medical aid is expected to significantly mitigate the hardships encountered in the temporary shelters and affected localities.

Local elders, including Yasin Jilioow, have expressed their gratitude towards the federal government’s swift response. The community deeply appreciates the support, which has been described as a lifeline for the affected individuals, particularly the women and children enduring the brunt of the crisis.

The backdrop to this humanitarian crisis involves intensified military operations by Somali government forces, in collaboration with local militias and international partners, aimed at dismantling Al-Shabaab’s presence in the region. These operations have recently intensified in strategic locations like Biyo Cadde, El Ali Ahmed, and Al-Kowthar, contributing to the displacement of local populations.

This aid delivery underscores the collaborative efforts between government entities, local leadership, and humanitarian organizations to ensure that assistance reaches those in urgent need promptly. As the situation develops, the focus remains on sustaining these efforts to support stability and recovery in the Middle Shabelle region, demonstrating a commitment to addressing both the immediate and long-term needs of its residents.

Neo-Nazi Terror Group Exposed as Kremlin Weapon Against Ukraine

Published

on

New revelations tie Base terror group leader to Russian intelligence, raising alarms over sabotage operations targeting Zelenskyy and Ukraine’s war effort.

Neo-Nazi Terror Group ‘The Base’ Linked to Russian Intelligence in Ukraine

The war against Ukraine isn’t just being fought with tanks and drones — it’s being fueled by Russian-backed extremist terror groups hiding in plain sight.

A Guardian investigation has detonated a political bombshell:
Former members of The Base, a white supremacist terror network designated by the EU and UK, now claim their leader, Rinaldo Nazzaro, is a Kremlin spy running covert sabotage operations inside Ukraine.

The stunning allegations paint a chilling picture:

  • Nazzaro, a self-proclaimed Pentagon veteran, is accused of secretly working for Russia’s FSB.

  • Witnesses say he texted fluently in Russian, bragged about flying back and forth to Moscow, and fled to Russia whenever Base members were arrested.

  • The group’s latest mission in Ukraine — offering cash for assassinations, sabotage, and attacks on infrastructure — allegedly serves direct Kremlin interests.

Videos have surfaced of Base operatives torching Ukrainian military vehicles and targeting critical energy systems — operations designed to destabilize Zelenskyy’s government from within.

Former Base members now admit:
“This wasn’t about ideology. It was about serving Russia’s war machine.”

Adding to the evidence, Nazzaro controls Base propaganda via VK and Mail.ru — both heavily linked to Putin’s information networks. Massive bot purchases and reward payouts hint at deep, invisible financing — from sources far beyond fringe extremists.

Nazzaro denies the charges, even appearing on Russian state TV to proclaim innocence. But the pattern is clear:
The Kremlin is using Western neo-Nazis as expendable weapons to bleed Ukraine from within.

As Ukraine fights on the frontlines, a second, dirtier war — one of sabotage, infiltration, and treachery — is being waged in the shadows. And Russia’s fingerprints are everywhere.

Turkey’s Somali Oil Grab: A Strategic Coup or Neocolonial Exploitation?

Published

on

Ankara secures 90% of Somalia’s oil and gas profits in landmark deal, sparking fears of energy colonialism under the guise of partnership.
Turkey’s new hydrocarbons deal with Somalia grants it 90% of all oil and gas output with zero upfront costs, raising questions about sovereignty, exploitation, and geopolitical consequences in the Horn of Africa.

Turkey didn’t just strike oil in Somalia — it struck gold. In a sweeping hydrocarbons agreement now before the Turkish Parliament, Ankara has secured 90% of Somalia’s oil and gas output, full export rights, zero upfront costs, and even the legal turf of arbitration on its own soil. Welcome to the 21st-century blueprint of “soft conquest” — wrapped in partnership, sealed with military escorts.

Somalia, teetering between internal fragility and global neglect, has offered up its vast offshore reserves to Turkey on terms that defy global industry norms. No signature bonuses. No surface fees. Only 5% royalties capped for Somalia, and Turkish corporations get to walk away with the lion’s share — free to export, sell, and profit without local interference.

This isn’t partnership. It’s a power grab masquerading as cooperation.

Text of the hydrocarbon agreement between Turkey and Somalia.

Worse still, Turkey can assign its rights to any foreign third party without even opening a local office — a clause that opens the door for opaque subcontracts and external interference in Somalia’s maritime zones. Turkish warships, under the pretext of anti-piracy missions, will escort deep-sea drill ships come September. But what they’re really guarding is Ankara’s geopolitical gamble — a stranglehold on East Africa’s most lucrative energy basin.

The optics are troubling. Somalia’s government, seeking legitimacy and allies, is locking itself into a long-term dependency that gives away critical sovereignty in exchange for vague promises of training and defense aid. If oil is supposed to be Somalia’s path to self-reliance, this deal builds a highway — but Turkey is behind the wheel.

As the global energy chessboard tilts eastward, Somalia risks being reduced to a pawn — or worse, a client state. The message to Mogadishu’s elites is clear: either rewrite this deal, or history will.

Rubio cancels Kenya trip as Ruto Embraces Beijing – Global Power Shift

Published

on

As Trump’s tariffs burn U.S.-Africa ties, Kenya dives deeper into China’s orbit. Marco Rubio cancels Kenya trip amid rising U.S.-China tensions. With Trump’s tariffs hammering Kenyan exports, Ruto turns to Beijing for rescue.

Is this the start of a global realignment? 

The optics couldn’t be clearer—or more controversial. Just hours after Kenyan President William Ruto boarded a flight to Beijing, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio quietly shelved his planned visit to Nairobi and Addis Ababa. The official reason? Indefinite postponement. The real message? Africa is no longer a priority under Trump’s America First doctrine, and Kenya is now caught in the crosshairs of a geopolitical earthquake.

Since Trump’s aggressive April tariff reset—slapping a 10% baseline duty on all imports from 185 countries—Kenya has seen the floor fall out from under its export economy. The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which once allowed over half of Kenya’s goods to enter the U.S. duty-free, is now circling the drain. And just like that, Ruto’s handshake with Washington has gone cold.

By becoming the first African leader to visit Beijing since the tariffs took effect, Ruto isn’t just seeking new markets—he’s signaling a dramatic pivot. With AGOA fading and Rubio ghosting East Africa, Nairobi is turning toward the yuan. This week, Ruto will wine, dine, and likely sign—energy deals, infrastructure projects, and tech corridors that will tie Kenya tighter to Beijing’s grip.

Analysts say this is no diplomatic accident. Rubio’s snub comes as Washington fumes over growing African-Chinese trade alliances, while Beijing cashes in on Trump’s isolationist retreat. The symbolism of Ruto embracing Xi Jinping as Rubio retreats is nothing short of a global reshuffle in real time.

But the consequences are enormous. Will China offer a fairer deal than Washington ever did? Or is Kenya walking into a new kind of dependency—one wrapped in silk roads and digital authoritarianism?

Advertisement

The old order is cracking. Trump wants loyalty. China offers leverage. Kenya must now decide: chase an unreliable West or bet big on Beijing’s promise.

This isn’t diplomacy—it’s a high-stakes divorce. And Africa is no longer the bride waiting at the altar.

Rubio’s “Fake News” Firestorm: Is Trump’s State Department Really Gutting Africa and Human Rights?

Published

on

Leaked draft sparks outrage as Trump White House plots radical State Department overhaul, Africa programs face existential threat.
A leaked draft suggesting the Trump administration plans to dismantle State Department Africa operations and human rights bureaus draws fierce denials from Marco Rubio and fears of U.S. diplomatic retreat. 

The Trump administration appears poised to deliver its most radical foreign policy shift yet—if a leaked executive order draft obtained by The New York Times is to be believed. The document, circulating among diplomats and defense analysts, outlines a sweeping demolition of the State Department as we know it—one that would erase Africa from Washington’s diplomatic map, terminate human rights bureaus, and gut long-standing refugee and democracy programs.

But in a typical 2025 twist, Secretary of State Marco Rubio took to X, dismissing it as “fake news,” accusing The New York Times of falling for another hoax. Yet what’s fueling the fire is not just the leak—it’s the silence from the White House. No clear denial. No press release. Just noise.

Advertisement

If enacted, the order would shut down embassies across sub-Saharan Africa, roll back Fulbright scholarships to only those studying “national security,” and eliminate fellowships designed to bring underrepresented groups into diplomacy. For Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, and others—it’s more than abandonment; it’s strategic blindness.

And for Somaliland? The timing couldn’t be clearer. As Hargeisa lobbies to become Washington’s anchor in the Horn, Trump’s pivot away from Africa would leave the region’s fate in the hands of adversaries—Turkey, China, and Russia. Closing American embassies creates power vacuums others are happy to fill.

Rubio’s comment sidesteps the real issue: this isn’t just about budget cuts—it’s about ideology. The leaked order frames the State Department as bloated, slow, and disloyal. It replaces diplomacy with artificial intelligence, seasoned career officers with politically-aligned operatives, and strategic engagement with extractive opportunism—especially on the continent.

Advertisement

Eliminating the Bureau of African Affairs and reducing it to a “special envoy” shows how Trump sees Africa: not as a partner, but as a battlefield for minerals and terrorism—not diplomacy or democracy.

Critics aren’t just reacting—they’re panicking. Foreign policy veterans are calling this a death knell for the U.S.’s global influence. Human rights advocates warn that it will embolden authoritarians. Lawmakers like Rep. Gregory Meeks are already sounding alarms.

What if Rubio’s tweet isn’t a denial—but a distraction?

The truth may be somewhere in between. But one thing is clear: America’s global posture is being rewritten—and Africa is on the chopping block.

The Hunt for Hitler: CIA Insider Claims Nazi Leader Fled to Argentina

Published

on

Secret documents, Nazi compounds, and Argentina’s nuclear ambitions ignite the theory that Hitler didn’t die in Berlin. A former CIA agent alleges Adolf Hitler faked his death and fled to Argentina, where Nazi loyalists may have plotted a nuclear-powered Fourth Reich.

WARYATV investigates the bombshell claims.

Did Adolf Hitler truly die in his Berlin bunker in 1945, or did he escape to Argentina under the protection of sympathizers who dreamed of a Fourth Reich? That chilling question has returned to the spotlight as Bob Baer, a former CIA agent, claims that new declassified documents could shatter the official story.

Advertisement

Baer believes that Argentina’s underbelly holds the truth—a truth meticulously hidden by Juan Perón’s regime and financed through Nazi gold and post-war money laundering. His focus? A network of compounds deep in the Misiones province and Bariloche, including a secretive nuclear fusion lab on Huemul Island, run by a Nazi scientist and allegedly backed by Perón himself.

“If you were going to hide Hitler, that’s where you’d do it,” Baer told the Daily Mail, citing WW2-era German coins, Nazi insignia, and mysteriously advanced infrastructure uncovered in 2015. The finds suggest more than a post-war hideout—they point to an organized resurrection attempt, complete with nuclear ambitions.

Declassified archives, greenlit by Argentina’s new president Javier Milei after a meeting with the Simon Wiesenthal Center, may soon provide the smoking gun. Baer expects a paper trail implicating the Argentinian government in aiding fleeing Nazis and concealing their presence for decades.

Advertisement

Skeptics like ex-UN investigator John Cencich urge caution, suggesting these remnants reflect demoralized fugitives rather than a coordinated Fourth Reich. Still, history confirms that top Nazis like Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele found shelter in Argentina.

Now, on the 136th anniversary of Hitler’s birth, the world might be closer than ever to finding out whether the Nazi nightmare truly ended in 1945—or merely relocated.

Truth demands the courage to follow even the most uncomfortable leads.

Quo Vadis, Somalia? The Third Republic on the Brink of Collapse

Published

on

Somalia’s own soldiers are assassinating their commanders, selling Somalia’s energy blocks to the highest bidder. Somalia now faces its most dangerous turning point since 1991. Al-Shabaab is raising flags in major towns while the Somali government sinks deeper into chaos, selling off resources and scapegoating enemies.

Is the capital next? 

Somalia isn’t slipping. It’s spiraling. The once fragile federal experiment is now visibly shattering—under the weight of incompetence, corruption, and political betrayal.

Mogadishu’s leadership, led by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, is flailing at the helm. Al-Shabaab grows bolder by the day, releasing prisoners, raising flags, and walking through military bases unchallenged. In a horrifying echo of Afghanistan, Somalia’s own soldiers are assassinating their commanders, and U.S. diplomats are being evacuated. Even the president himself narrowly escaped an ambush. This is no longer counterinsurgency. This is collapse management.

Advertisement

Desperate for Western attention, Hassan Sheikh has chosen a tactic that reeks of neo-colonial pandering: selling Somalia’s energy blocks to the highest bidder, offering the country’s last resources to Trump-linked interests in the hope of buying security. His ambassador’s bizarre social media auction of Somalia’s oil was less diplomacy than a digital clearance sale of a broken state. The response? Silence in Washington. Chaos in the capital.

Meanwhile, Turkish boots are on Somali soil, drones fly overhead, and the African Union’s peacekeepers are now smeared as al-Shabaab sympathizers by Somali officials trying to dodge accountability. Puntland and Jubaland have already walked out of Hassan’s electoral circus. The remaining federal structure is now a skeleton of legitimacy—held together by the optics of registration drives and donor meetings.

And as al-Shabaab captures Aadan Yabaal—the president’s own hometown—Somalis wake up asking a question they hoped they’d never need to again: Can Mogadishu fall?

Advertisement

Somalia has failed at the elite level. Hassan’s government blames everyone—Egypt, Ethiopia, the AU, even UN diplomats—except itself. It ignores the internal rot, the patronage system, the militarized nepotism, and the utter lack of coherent national strategy.

The result? Al-Shabaab no longer hides. It governs. And the state no longer fights back. It tweets.

Quo vadis, Somalia?
Downward. Fast. Unless something radical, honest, and painfully overdue changes now.

Turkish Troops in Mogadishu: A War Cloaked in Denial

Turkey Boots on the Ground: Is Mogadishu Being Outsourced?

Turkish boots on the ground in Mogadishu while Al-Shabaab silently takes over 4 districts. Somalia’s leaders play musical chairs—while militants walk into government offices unopposed. WARYATV exposes the ugly truth.

As Al-Shabaab quietly seizes control of districts, 2,500 Turkish soldiers land—who’s really in charge now?

As Turkish troops land in Mogadishu under a security agreement, Al-Shabaab expands its stealth control. WARYATV investigates the dangerous delusion gripping Somalia’s leadership.

Two Turkish military aircraft touched down in Mogadishu, unloading up to 500 troops—with expectations that number could balloon beyond 2,500. Turkey frames this as counterterrorism cooperation. The truth? Somalia’s so-called “sovereignty” is being subcontracted out while its own leadership collapses from within.

Advertisement

This isn’t partnership. It’s occupation through invitation. While Turkish warplanes bomb Al-Shabaab hideouts, militants are effortlessly patrolling four major Mogadishu districts without resistance—seizing government files, walking into local offices, and telling security guards, “Be back at your post tomorrow.”

Dayniile. Hilwa. Dharkaleey. Gubadleey.
All are now nocturnally governed by Al-Shabaab—without a single shot fired.

Sources within Western military intelligence confirm what the world refuses to admit: the capital is falling in slow motion, and it’s being covered up with press releases about international cooperation.

Advertisement

President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is already preparing to scapegoat his NISA director and army chief—rumored to be replaced by political loyalists with zero tactical credibility. It’s a page ripped straight from Kabul before the Taliban sweep. The same air of denial. The same security theatrics. The same doomed outcome.

And while Turkish troops march in to supposedly help, Prime Minister Hamse Barre diverts attention with a staged visit to Las Anod—reigniting internal tensions instead of addressing the slow-motion collapse in Mogadishu. It’s all a distraction from a grim truth: Al-Shabaab is winning not by firepower—but by strategy, infiltration, and the cowardice of Somalia’s leadership.

This is no longer a counterinsurgency.
This is Somalia outsourced, Somali leadership imploding, and Al-Shabaab adapting faster than its enemies.
