ELON MUSK oo qaaday tallaabo cajiib ah oo la xiriirta xiisadda Mareykanka iyo Iran

 Elon Musk, bilyaneerka sida aadka ah ugu dhow madaxweynaha la doortay ee Mareykanka Donald Trump, ayaa la kulmay safiirka Iran u fadhiya Qaramada Midoobay si uu u qaboojiyo xiisadda u dhaxeysa Tehran iyo Washington, waxaa sidaas Khamiistii weriyey wargeyska The New York Times.

Wargeyska ayaa ka soo xigtay ilo-wareedyo aan la magacaabin oo Iiraaniyiin ah in ay ku qeexeen kulanka dhexmaray ninka ugu taajisan adduunka iyo danjire Amir Saciid Iravani “mid wanaagsan.”

Labada nin waxay in ka badan hal saac ku kulmeen goob qarsoodi ah Isniintii, ayuu yiri wargeyska.

Kooxda kala-guurka ee Trump iyo ergada Iran ee Qaramada Midoobay midna si degdeg ah uma xaqiijin kulanka, iyadoo howlgalka Iran ee QM uu sheegay in aysan wax faallo ah ka bixineyn.

Kulanka, haddii la xaqiijiyo, wuxuu bixin karaa tilmaam horudhac oo ah in Trump ay dhab ka tahay diblomaasiyadda Iran, oo uusan dooraneyn habka dagaalka ahaa ee ay doorbidayaan xubno badan oo ka tirsan xisbigiisa Jamhuuriga iyo Israa’iil.

Waxay sidoo kale muujin doontaa mar kale saameynta aan caadiga ahayn ee Musk, milkiilaha Tesla iyo X, oo si joogta ah ugu dhow dhinaca Trump, ayada oo lagu soo waramayo inuu xitaa kala qeyb-galayey wada sheekeysiyada taleefoon ee hoggaamiyeyaasha adduunka.

Trump ayaa muddo xileedkiisii koowaad ee xafiiska waxa uu jeex-jeexay heshiis ku saabsan barnaamijka Nukliyeerka Iran oo uu ka shaqeeyey madaxweynihii isaga ka horreeyay ee Barack Obama, taa beddelkeeda waxa uu doortay siyaasad “cadaadiska ugu sarreeya”ah oo ay ka mid tahay in uu ka shaqeeyo in uu ku qasbo waddamada kale in aysan iibsan saliidda Iran.

Balse Trump waxa uu isu muujiyey inuu yahay heshiis sameeye weyn, waxaana ololihiisii ugu dambeeyey uu ka dhawaajiyey inuu u furfuran yahay diblamaasiyadda, inkasta oo ay jirto taageeradiisa xooggan ee ra’iisul wasaaraha Israa’iil Benjamin Netanyahu, kaas oo horey u amray weerar ka dhan ah Iran.

Madaxweynaha Iran Masoud Pezeshkian, oo loo arko inuu yahay qunyar socod ka tirsan dowlad wadaaddo ah, ayaa Khamiistii u sheegay madaxa hay’adda Qaramada Midoobay u qaabilsan ilaalinta Nukliyeerka ee booqanaya Iran, in Tehran ay doonayso inay meesha ka saarto shakiga ku saabsan barnaamijkeeda Nukliyeerka ee “nabadda ah”.

Safiirka Iran ayaa sidoo kale ku booriyay Musk intii uu socday kulankooda inuu raadiyo in uu ganacsi ka sameeyo Tehran, ayada oo laga reebayo cunaqabateynta Mareykanka, ayuu yiri wargeyska The Times, isagoo soo xiganaya sarkaal ka tirsan Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda Iran.

Trump ayaa Musk iyo musharaxii hore ee madaxweynaha Mareykanka ee Jamhuuriga Vivek Ramaswamy u magacaabay in ay hoggaamiyaan wax cusub oo lagu soo daray dowladda oo lagu magacaabo “Department of Government Efficiency” ama “Waaxda Wax-ku-oolnimada Dowladda,” oo la doonayo inay wax ka qabato shaqo xumada hay’adaha dowladda.

Hindisaha cusub ayaa dhaliyay su’aalo ku saabsan dano is-diidan oo arrintan ka dhallan kara, sababo la xiriira is-dhexgalka ballaaran ee ganacsiyada Musk iyo dawladda.

Cinwaanka Waaxdan cusub ayaa laga abuuray X, oo hore u ahaan jirtay Twitter, halkaasi oo dadka laga codsaday in ay kusoo shaqo codsadaan ayaga oo soo diraya farriin toos ah.

“Waxaan u baahanahay shaqaale caqligoodu sarreeyo oo kacaani ah oo asbuucii shaqeeya 80+ saacadood,” ayaa lagu yiri qoraalka, oo intaas ku daray Elon iyo Vivek ay eegi doonaan codsadayaasha ee ugu sarreeya ee ah 1%.

Itoobiya oo war cusub soo saartay ka dib go’aankii wasiirka difaaca Soomaaliya

Itoobiya ayaa ku dhawaaqday in dadaalkeeda lagu wiiqayo al-Shabaab ay u sii wadi doonto si kasta oo suurtagal ah si loo hubiyo in kooxdu aysan khatar ku ahayn amniga qaranka iyo in “guulaha la gaaray ilaa hadda aan laga soo laaban.”

Warbixin kooban oo toddobaadle ah ayaa danjire Nebiat Getachew, afhayeenka Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda ee Itoobiya, wuxuu kaga hadlay doorka muhiimka ah ee Itoobiya ee dhimista khatarta al-Shabaab ee gobolka. 

“Al-Shabaab waxay weli walaac ku yihiin amniga qarankeena, dadaallada looga hortagayana waa ay sii socon doonaan xaalad walba, si looga hortago inay mar kale khatar noqdaan ama ay dib usoo laba kacleeyaan,” ayuu yiri afhayeenka.

Nebiat waxa kale oo uu xusay in maadaama ay Itoobiya iyo Soomaaliya yihiin deris “aan kala maarmin”, ay Itoobiya sii wadi doonto fulinta aragtideeda istiraatiijiyadeed si ay u “xoojiso is-dhexgalka gobolka ee mustaqbalka fog”.

Hadalka ka soo baxay Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda ee Itoobiya ayaa daba socda war uu Sabtidii hore soo saaray Wasiirka Gaashaandhigga Soomaaliya, Cabdulqaadir Maxamed Nuur, kaasi oo shaaciyey in Itoobiya aysan ka qeyb qaadan doonin howlgalka Midowga Afrika ee Soomaaliya (AUSSOM) ee soo socda, ee la qorsheeyay inuu bilowdo Janaayo 2025.

Hadallo laga sii daayey Telefishanka dawladda, ayuu wasiir Cabdulqaadir ku dooday in heshiiskii dhawaan ay Itoobiya la gashay Somaliland uu wax u dhimayo “madax-banaanida iyo midnimada qaranka Soomaaliya”.

Yaa si buuxda ula wareegay awoodda Congress-ka Mareykanka?

 – Jamhuuriyiinta ayaa lagu dhowaaqay in ay ku guuleysteen aqlabiyadda Aqalka Wakiilada Mareykanka, ayaga oo dhameystiray isku mar ay kula wareegeen awoodda Aqalka Cad iyo Congress-ka Mareykanka, una gacan gelinaya madaxweynaha cusub Donald Trump awood sharci-dejin.

Ka dib in ka badan toddobaad tirin codadka ah, CNN iyo NBC ayaa saadaaliyay in xisbiga Trump uu gaaray 218-ka kursi ee loo baahan yahay si ay u sii haystaan aqlabiyadda aqalka hoose ee ka kooban 435-ka kursi, iyagoo horey ugala wareegay Senate-ka xisbiga Dimoqraadiga.

“Waa subax aad u qurux badan Washington. Waa maalin u cusub Ameerika,” ayuu yiri afhayeenka Aqalka Wakiilada Mike Johnson, oo qabtay shir jaraa’id oo uu ugu dabaaldegayo guusha Talaadadii ka hor inta aysan natiijadu noqon mid rasmi ah

Qoraxdu way ifaysaa, taasina waxay ka tarjumaysaa sida aynu dhammaanteen dareemayno, wakhtigani waa wakhti aad iyo aad muhiim ugu ah dalka, uma qaadaneyno si fudud.”

Trump ayaa ku guuleystey gobol kasta oo ka mid ahaa 7-dii gobol ee aadka loogu loolamaya ama loo yaqaan Swing States doorashadii madaxtinimo ee November 5, waxaana uu sidoo kale uu u muuqdaa in uu ku guuleystey codadka guud ee qaranka.

Ayada oo tirooyinka horudhaca ah ay muujinayaan in uu kaga horeeyo musharraxa xisbiga Dimuqraadiga Kamala Harris 3.2 milyan oo cod.

Haysashada labada aqal ee Congress-ka waxay u xaareysa dariiqa uu ku xaqiijin karo magacaabistiisa jagooyinka maamulkiisa ee muhiimka ah, waxayna sidoo kale u oggolaan doontaa inuu ku riixo ajandihiisa xagjirka ah ee masaafurinta ballaaran, canshuur dhimista iyo baabi’inta sharciyada qaar.

Luminta Aqalka Wakiilada ayaa daminaysa rajo kasta oo Dimoqraadiyiinta ay ka qabeen in ay awood u yeeshaan in ay hor istaagaan ajandaha Trump.

Dhinaca kale, xubnaha Jamhuuriga ee Senate-ka ayaa u doortay John Thune, inuu noqdo hogaamiyaha cusub ee aqlabiyadda, iyagoo codbixin sir ah ku diiday Rick Scott oo taageero ka haystay Trump.

35 People Who Are Too Far Gone to Help

New year, new travel opportunities!

Many people take the month of January to look at the year ahead and set travel goals. One of the most powerful ways to explore a new place is to take a solo trip. From the freedom and flexibility to the stress relief and boost in self-reliance, there are endless benefits to solo travel. And there are many exciting places to make it happen.

Of course, it’s always important to research current conditions in your desired destination to stay safe when traveling, especially for solo trips. But fortunately, there are precautions you can take, and tons of backup options if needed.

We asked travel bloggers and other experts to share the solo travel destinations they recommend for 2020. Keep scrolling to read about 50 places that will surely inspire your wanderlust.

1Vancouver, Canada

“If you enjoy spending time in nature, Vancouver is a great place to add to your solo destination list for 2020. Canada as a whole is a very safe country to visit, and Vancouver has so much to offer. The city itself offers beautiful views of mountains and has a lot of fun places to visit, such as Granville Market and Stanley Park. You can also do a day or weekend trip from Vancouver to escape into the mountains any time of year!” ― Amber Primdahl, travel blogger at She’s Catching Flights

2Santiago, Chile

“I recommend Santiago, Chile. South America is a friendly destination for travelers, even if you don’t speak Spanish. Santiago is not a difficult city to get around alone, as you can take the subway or Uber. The local food scene is fantastic and casual, so it’s a great place to enjoy a meal and cocktail by yourself. For example, at De Patio restaurant, you can sit at the counter and chat with the chef while he prepares dishes with ingredients straight out of his garden.” ― La Carminatravel blogger and TV host

3Malaysia

“Within Southeast Asia, I think Malaysia is a great destination for solo travel for any age. You’ve got some incredible rainforests and stunning canopy walks, buzzing cities with a great culinary scene, and since most Malaysians speak perfect English, it’s a lot easier to connect with locals than in many other countries. Malaysia doesn’t have the travel party scene you find so much Thailand, so it’s a perfect choice in Asia for more culture-focused or mature travelers.” ― Marek Bron, travel blogger at Indie Traveller

4Slovenia

“Delve into one of the greenest and most beautiful countries in Europe by buying a ticket to Slovenia! Not only does it have fairytale castles built into mountain walls (check out Predjama Castle!) but underground cave trains resembling Indiana Jones’ own adventures. The capital city is by far the prettiest I’ve ever seen, too. Transport links are convenient. The country is small enough to explore confidently. And the safety, as well as a high level of English among the younger generation, make this the perfect European destination for a solo traveler this year.” ―Alice Teacake, travel blogger at Teacake Travels

5St. John’s, Canada

“It’s not a place many people have heard of, but St. John’s, Newfoundland, is pretty magnificent and a great option for solo travel. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful with massive cliffs overlooking the ocean. You can stroll to the top of Signal Hill to overlook the harbor and out to the sea. You can also drive out to Cape Spear to stand at North America’s most eastern point. But the truly special part of St. John’s is the people. They are some of the warmest and friendliest you will meet. You can grab a pint in one of the many Irish pubs and strike up a conversation easily. And for such a small town, the downtown area is packed with restaurants, pubs and shops. Plus, they have puffins and icebergs (even in May). You really can’t go wrong here. Don’t forget to get ‘screeched in’ while you are in town, too.” ― Mark Ostermann, senior editor of Miles to Memories

6South Korea

“Seoul is on the top of my list for great places to travel solo this year. It’s safe for solo travelers, fairly easy to get around, and the people are always kind and willing to help tourists. The city is full of modern conveniences that take everyday luxury to another level. There’s WiFi everywhere, you can Uber around the city, and the customer service is impeccable. It’s great for solo travelers on a budget since there are a ton of low-cost options for hotel stays and food. The street food in Seoul is a must!” ― Jee Choe, digital designer and blogger at Oh, How Civilized

7Rotterdam, the Netherlands

“Skip the crowds of Amsterdam and head to Rotterdam. This city is easy to navigate by public transportation, walkable, and of course, very bike-friendly. Take a water taxi and enjoy the views of the modern architecture of the city. Head to the food halls such as Markthal and Fenix Food Factory to check out what’s new with Dutch cuisine.” ―Jessica van Dop, travel media specialist and blogger at The Dining Traveler

8Accra, Ghana

“Ghana is one of the best countries to travel solo in Africa. Ghanaians are known to be very kind and are typically willing to help travelers with directions or the like. Accra has a beach close by, along with many cute boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Solo travelers might appreciate that Uber is available and affordable in Accra, which makes navigating the city quite easy.” ― Briona Lamback, travel blogger and founder of Buoyant travel agency

“This incredibly charming and gorgeous European island is just off the coast of Italy and makes for an enchanting solo travel adventure! You can rent a car and explore both islands in just a couple of days, and see things like quaint cobblestone streets and the stunning Blue Lagoon.” ― Alyssa Ramos, blogger at My Life’s A Travel Movie

10Oman

“Many people can’t even point to Oman on a map, but it is one of the best destinations for solo travelers in 2020! Locals are friendly but rarely pushy, and you can walk down the street without getting stared at. Renting a car is easy and the roads are in pristine condition. The highlight of traveling Oman is the fabulous nature and scenery, from sparkling blue wadis and sand dunes for hundreds of miles to sea cliffs and the ‘Grand Canyon Of The Middle East.’ If you want a break from traveling solo, consider hiring a local Omani guide to show you around for a day or two!” ― Victoria Yore, travel blogger at Follow Me Away

Jarmo Piironen / EyeEm via Getty Images

“It’s not a place many people have heard of, but St. John’s, Newfoundland, is pretty magnificent and a great option for solo travel. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful with massive cliffs overlooking the ocean. You can stroll to the top of Signal Hill to overlook the harbor and out to the sea. You can also drive out to Cape Spear to stand at North America’s most eastern point. But the truly special part of St. John’s is the people. They are some of the warmest and friendliest you will meet. You can grab a pint in one of the many Irish pubs and strike up a conversation easily. And for such a small town, the downtown area is packed with restaurants, pubs and shops. Plus, they have puffins and icebergs (even in May). You really can’t go wrong here. Don’t forget to get ‘screeched in’ while you are in town, too.” ― Mark Ostermann, senior editor of Miles to Memories

“Seoul is on the top of my list for great places to travel solo this year. It’s safe for solo travelers, fairly easy to get around, and the people are always kind and willing to help tourists. The city is full of modern conveniences that take everyday luxury to another level. There’s WiFi everywhere, you can Uber around the city, and the customer service is impeccable. It’s great for solo travelers on a budget since there are a ton of low-cost options for hotel stays and food. The street food in Seoul is a must!” ― Jee Choe, digital designer and blogger at Oh, How Civilized

7Rotterdam, the Netherlands

“Skip the crowds of Amsterdam and head to Rotterdam. This city is easy to navigate by public transportation, walkable, and of course, very bike-friendly. Take a water taxi and enjoy the views of the modern architecture of the city. Head to the food halls such as Markthal and Fenix Food Factory to check out what’s new with Dutch cuisine.” ―Jessica van Dop, travel media specialist and blogger at The Dining Traveler

8Accra, Ghana

“Ghana is one of the best countries to travel solo in Africa. Ghanaians are known to be very kind and are typically willing to help travelers with directions or the like. Accra has a beach close by, along with many cute boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Solo travelers might appreciate that Uber is available and affordable in Accra, which makes navigating the city quite easy.” ― Briona Lamback, travel blogger and founder of Buoyant travel agency

“This incredibly charming and gorgeous European island is just off the coast of Italy and makes for an enchanting solo travel adventure! You can rent a car and explore both islands in just a couple of days, and see things like quaint cobblestone streets and the stunning Blue Lagoon.” ― Alyssa Ramos, blogger at My Life’s A Travel Movie

10Oman

“Many people can’t even point to Oman on a map, but it is one of the best destinations for solo travelers in 2020! Locals are friendly but rarely pushy, and you can walk down the street without getting stared at. Renting a car is easy and the roads are in pristine condition. The highlight of traveling Oman is the fabulous nature and scenery, from sparkling blue wadis and sand dunes for hundreds of miles to sea cliffs and the ‘Grand Canyon Of The Middle East.’ If you want a break from traveling solo, consider hiring a local Omani guide to show you around for a day or two!” ― Victoria Yore, travel blogger at Follow Me Away

Have you traveled solo?

No, I have no interest in it.

No, but I’m curious.

Yes, and it wasn’t that great.

Yes, just a few times, It was fun!

19 Baby Gender Reveals That Are Actually Pretty Amazing

New year, new travel opportunities!

Many people take the month of January to look at the year ahead and set travel goals. One of the most powerful ways to explore a new place is to take a solo trip. From the freedom and flexibility to the stress relief and boost in self-reliance, there are endless benefits to solo travel. And there are many exciting places to make it happen.

Of course, it’s always important to research current conditions in your desired destination to stay safe when traveling, especially for solo trips. But fortunately, there are precautions you can take, and tons of backup options if needed.

We asked travel bloggers and other experts to share the solo travel destinations they recommend for 2020. Keep scrolling to read about 50 places that will surely inspire your wanderlust.

1Vancouver, Canada

“If you enjoy spending time in nature, Vancouver is a great place to add to your solo destination list for 2020. Canada as a whole is a very safe country to visit, and Vancouver has so much to offer. The city itself offers beautiful views of mountains and has a lot of fun places to visit, such as Granville Market and Stanley Park. You can also do a day or weekend trip from Vancouver to escape into the mountains any time of year!” ― Amber Primdahl, travel blogger at She’s Catching Flights

2Santiago, Chile

“I recommend Santiago, Chile. South America is a friendly destination for travelers, even if you don’t speak Spanish. Santiago is not a difficult city to get around alone, as you can take the subway or Uber. The local food scene is fantastic and casual, so it’s a great place to enjoy a meal and cocktail by yourself. For example, at De Patio restaurant, you can sit at the counter and chat with the chef while he prepares dishes with ingredients straight out of his garden.” ― La Carminatravel blogger and TV host

3Malaysia

“Within Southeast Asia, I think Malaysia is a great destination for solo travel for any age. You’ve got some incredible rainforests and stunning canopy walks, buzzing cities with a great culinary scene, and since most Malaysians speak perfect English, it’s a lot easier to connect with locals than in many other countries. Malaysia doesn’t have the travel party scene you find so much Thailand, so it’s a perfect choice in Asia for more culture-focused or mature travelers.” ― Marek Bron, travel blogger at Indie Traveller

4Slovenia

“Delve into one of the greenest and most beautiful countries in Europe by buying a ticket to Slovenia! Not only does it have fairytale castles built into mountain walls (check out Predjama Castle!) but underground cave trains resembling Indiana Jones’ own adventures. The capital city is by far the prettiest I’ve ever seen, too. Transport links are convenient. The country is small enough to explore confidently. And the safety, as well as a high level of English among the younger generation, make this the perfect European destination for a solo traveler this year.” ―Alice Teacake, travel blogger at Teacake Travels
