The Somali people are one, united by a shared history, culture, and resilience. Throughout history, Somalia has stood tall in the face of tyranny and subjugation, known for its fierce resistance—whether as individuals, communities, or as a nation.
Located in Eastern Africa, Somalia boasts the longest coastline on the continent and occupies a strategically vital position. While many Somalis reside in Somalia, significant populations also live in Kenya and Ethiopia, with others spread across the world.
Regardless of where they are born or what citizenship they acquire, every Somali has an inherent birthright to Somali citizenship. Similarly, Somalis in Kenya and Ethiopia hold deep historical ties to these nations, contributing significantly to their development and holding positions of influence. Djibouti, though governed separately, remains a Somali nation in its identity.
Somalis in Kenya and Ethiopia have thrived, supported by their kin from Somalia and the global diaspora. Their unity, shared values, and commitment to each other’s success have made them key players in economic and social progress.
Despite borders and distances, Somalis remain deeply connected, always supporting one another. Their collective strength, solidarity, and care for their people are a source of immense pride, ensuring their enduring unity and progress.
