Honored to participate in the “𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀” Stakeholder Workshop organized by UNDP in Somalia

As a photographer and visual storyteller, I was honored to contribute to discussions on strengthening Somalia’s creative economy and creating more opportunities for creatives.

Somalia is rich in talent, culture, and creativity. With stronger support systems, market access, and investment, the creative sector can become a powerful driver of economic growth and social impact.

Grateful to be part of this important conversation alongside fellow creatives and industry stakeholders.

I’m honored and truly happy to be among the winners of the photography competition organized by the UK in Somalia

This recognition means a lot to me, not only as a photographer but as someone passionate about telling authentic Somali stories through images.

The photograph I submitted was taken in Beledweyne in October 2025, capturing young people performing a vibrant traditional dance that reflects the beauty of our culture, unity, and shared identity.

It’s a moment that shows how tradition continues to bring people together across generations.

Sanado ka hor, waxaan bilaabay safaro aan ku dhex marayo guud ahaan gobolada dalka ani iyo Kaamiradayda, iyadoo ujeedadaydu ay tahay soo bandhigida quruxda qarsoon ee dalkeena. Maanta, safarkaas wuxuu gaaray xafiiska Ra’iisul Wasaaraha Soomaaliya, halkaasoo aan ku soo bandhigay qeyb kamid ah sawiradii aan kasoo qaaday gobolo kala duwan. Sawir kasta wuxuu xambaarsan yahay sheeko, dulqaad, iyo sharaf. Khibradan waxay mar kale xaqiijisay aaminsanaantayda ah in sheeko sheegidda wax weyn ka dhigantahay iyada oo loo marayo sawirro iyo farshaxan. taas waxay awood u leedahay inay dib u qaabayso sheekooyinka adkaysiga dadkeena iyo quruxda dalkeena.

Wada hadal iyo dhegeysi waa tiirarka nabadda. Deris-wanaag iyo is-faham ayaa xoojiya wada noolaanshaha iyo xiriirka bulsho.
Marka ay soo baxaan is-qabqabsi ama muran la xiriira dhulka, waxaa muhiim ah in xal lagu raadiyo wada tashi, laguna kalsoonaado odayaasha dhaqanka, guddiyada dhulka, iyo maamulka deegaanka.
Waa farriin muhiim ah oo ay tahay in dadkeennu si dhab ah u qaataan, qof walbana ka qeyb qaatay gudbinta iyo hirgelinteeda wuu mahadsan yahay.

Muddo dheer oo ay jireen colaado, dhibaatooyin isbeddel cimileed iyo deegaan, iyo maamulka dowladeed oo liitay, 𝐒𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐲𝐚 waxa ay lumisay dhul kaymeed baaxad leh. Balse, si ka duwan meelo badan, bulshooyinka 𝐈𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐥 iyo 𝐐𝐚𝐚𝐦-𝐪𝐚𝐚𝐦 ee 𝐉𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 waxay noqdeen tusaale muujinaya sida isku-tashi bulsho iyo wadajir ay u suurtagelin karaan ilaalinta dhirta iyo kaymaha.

𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡:

During decades of conflict, climate and environmental crises, and weak governance, much of 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚 lost its forests, but 𝐈𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐥 and 𝐐𝐚𝐚𝐦-𝐪𝐚𝐚𝐦 protected theirs. Through collective effort, the community preserved the trees—leaving a living legacy for future generations.

Farxad ayay ii tahay inaan soo gudbiyo quruxda dalka iyo nabadda.
