🇸🇴 Somalia sets parliamentary and presidential elections for 2027

Somalia announced on October 15 that parliamentary elections will be held on April 15, 2027, followed by a presidential vote on May 15, 2027. The Election Commission said the presidential timetable follows a rule stating that the head of state's five-year term begins on the date of swearing-in.

President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's term ended earlier in 2026, and the government declared a transition period in May despite an agreement with the opposition on holding elections. Opposition parties have rejected constitutional changes passed earlier this year, while regional leaders have also opposed Mohamud's push for direct elections as Al-Shabaab continues to control parts of the country.

It’s a cognitive war out here, and the lowest common denominator enjoys an unearned advantage on the battlefield.

Social media tends to reward mobthink, fan fiction, extreme ideology, hyper-partisan takes, outrage, fear, negativity, and the rest with engagement and virality.

Posts and comments that are sober-minded, rational, positive, well-sourced, nuanced, educational, or balanced are DOA.

Before social media this was also true, but not as ubiquitous.

For my generation, the decline in discourse and the rise of irreverent, idiotic-yet-popular takes started with Jon Stewart and The Daily Show. That show did tremendous damage. Alex Jones destroyed many minds as well, but from a different angle.

Now we live with the consequences of those shows and the many copycats of them. The online and media spaces pursue attention and revenue—not clarity, not truth.

Discourse, as a means of sorting differing perspectives and information in order to arrive at an understanding, let alone a point of agreement, is extremely rare.

Support and defend the places you still find that and the people who promote it. Strive to become one yourself.
