About Somali Press

An editorial newsletter for readers who want the story, not the noise.

Somali Press curates the Somali stories that matter. Every issue gathers what happened, who reported it, and why it counts — from Mogadishu politics and Horn of Africa diplomacy to business, technology and the diaspora.

What we promise

  • No clickbait. Headlines say what the story is.
  • Renowned sources and outlets. We cite where reporting comes from so you can read further.
  • Beyond the politics. Somali life is bigger than its government, and our coverage follows.
  • No clutter. One considered issue, not a firehose.

Write for us

We publish guest posts from Somali writers, researchers and reporters everywhere. If you have a story, an argument or a piece of analysis you think our readers should see, send a short pitch — what it is, why now, and roughly how long — tohi@somali.press. We read everything and reply to what we can take on.

Corrections and tips

If we got something wrong, tell us and we will fix it and say so. Tips and story leads go to the same address: hi@somali.press.
