  • Raymond Johansen
    Raymond Johansen “US has always been the closest ally to Israel, and if Washington changes its policy and put pressure on Israel, then there will be a change in the moribund peace process. But not before that because definitely the Israeli government has so much self confidence in what they are doing, saying they will 'clean up' everything. So far they have been able to continue because the resistance towards their policy has not been strong enough. We have even seen a kind of diplomatic tsunami this week, but it does not have any impact for the Israeli government and the [Israeli forces] right now.” 17 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “I believe that the Peace Summit and the other leaders who are looking at the reaction of the United States of America need President Biden. His absence would only be applauded by Putin, personally applauded by Putin, and it would be a standing ovation.” 17 hours ago
  • Michael McCaul
    Michael McCaul “The U.S. is fully and completely committed to deterrence by supporting Taiwan militarily, diplomatically and economically. U.S.' resolve to maintain the status quo and peace in the Taiwan Strait should not be doubted. The resoluteness which the United States Congress has behind Taiwan is extremely strong. Taiwan's importance lies in its people, democracy, freedom, prosperity, science and technology, and innovation.” 18 hours ago

    Alexander De Croo “Ukraine can only push back the invader if we provide better arms at faster pace.” 18 hours ago
  • Pedro Sánchez
    Pedro Sánchez “Recognition of the state of Palestine is not only a matter of historical justice, with legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, but is also an imperative to achieve peace. It is the only way to realize the solution we all recognize as the only possible one to achieve the future of peace a Palestinian state that coexists alongside the state of Israel in peace and security.” 18 hours ago
  • Rustem Umerov
    Rustem Umerov “Their [Russian forces] objective is to open a new front in the north to start using all their manpower, firing power, against us, they are continuing with their objective to destroy the nation. We are withstanding, but of course we need more weapons, we need more firing power, we need long-range missiles, not to allow them to enter our state. Time is super-crucial and, to repel the attacks, we need to have [the deliveries] on time in place.” 18 hours ago

“Both sides shared different interpretations of what the talks entailed. Mogadishu said it was a talk of reunion, and Somaliland said it was to decide its fate as an independent state. It was bound to fail, but this current crisis just catalysed its collapse.”

“I'm calling to you, the people of Mogadishu, the Kharijites [renegades] are amongst you … so flush them out. They are in your houses, they are your neighbours, in cars that pass you by. I want us to commit today to flushing them out. They are like bedbugs under our clothes. We will never accept extremist killing or robbing our people and we will also never accept the killing of our innocent people. We will protect them from al-Shabab. Anyone who does that [kills innocent people] will face trial or justice. The people are tired of massacres, killings, and all kinds of misdeeds and they are now saying to al-Shabab: 'Enough is enough'.”

“Dealing with the Shabab will be among the first challenges facing Somalia's next government. But the new leader needs also to deliver a new Constitution, reform the economy, deal with climate change, open dialogue with the breakaway region of Somaliland and unite a polarized nation. Governance in Somalia became too confrontational over the past few years. It was like pulling teeth. People are now ready for a new dawn.”

“While the government is busy with itself, we are suffering. The Shabab are like a mafia group. You either have to obey them or close your business. There's no freedom.”

“Somalia has been in a constitutional crisis since February when the president's mandate expired. The country has been held together by a political agreement between stakeholders of the federal government, federal member states and stakeholders in the elections. That was supposed to postpone the elections until today, December 27. That has not happened and that is why we are facing this crisis. The prime minister [Mohamed Hussein Roble] was planning to convene a national conference today to chart the way forward. Now the president [Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed] has once again intervened and created a situation of real uncertainty and danger. The electoral model was modified by Farmaajo [Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed] to favour his reelection and this change is now contributing to the impasse in the electoral process. The entire process has come down almost to cherry picking, where seat by seat we are seeing rigging, we are seeing appointees of the president being given seats, and these are the people who will choose the next president.”

“The African Union (AU), which has signalled that it will name a Somalia envoy to mediate efforts over the stalled election cycle, should move forward on this with speed, and get efforts to bridge the chasm between [the president Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed] Farmajo and the opposition started as quickly as possible. International actors must signal a willingness to punish spoilers, including through targeted sanctions. External actors who pursue narrow bilateral interests by backing certain factions within Somalia further risk tipping the balance toward implosion. The US, possibly through its newly appointed special envoy to the Horn, should lean on all outside powers to press for de-escalation.”
