Humanitarian Aid & UN Drawdown: The UN begins winding down Somalia operations as US funding ends, with equipment and vehicles slated for auction. Diaspora & Finance: Dahabshiil’s role in Somali diaspora remittances shows how informal cross-border money networks keep households and small businesses afloat.

Sports Story: Somali referee Omar Artan makes history at the UEFA Super Cup after being barred from the World Cup by US entry issues. Immigration Shock (US): A US judge cleared the way to end TPS for Somalis, setting up renewed deportation risk for about 1,100 people. Regional Security (Puntland): Puntland calls for inclusive, negotiated disarmament and warns against actions that could spark confrontation with federal-aligned forces.
