Get to know us
The Somali Network is a UK-based independent platform dedicated to providing accurate, balanced, and well-contextualised information about Somalia.
Founded by a group of engaged British Somalis, we produce a monthly newsletter and in-depth reports that make complex issues accessible to readers. Our work combines timely analysis with reliable context, covering humanitarian, security, political, and economic developments across all regions of Somalia. We are committed to amplifying the voices and lived experiences of everyday Somali men and women - telling their stories, sharing their views, and highlighting their realities.
We operate independently and are committed to clarity, integrity, and amplifying Somali voices and perspectives.
Our mission
he Somali Network is committed to delivering accurate, balanced, and well-contextualised information about Somalia. Through our monthly newsletter, in-depth reports, and fact-checking initiatives, we aim to counter misinformation, amplify Somali voices, and provide reliable insights into the humanitarian, security, political, and economic realities shaping the lives of ordinary Somalis across all regions.
We strive to tell authentic stories of everyday men and women - their challenges, experiences, hopes, and perspectives - while promoting greater understanding, accountability, and informed dialogue about Somalia.
Our vision
We envision a future where Somalia is accurately and fairly represented on the global stage, free from distortion and misinformation. We aspire to become a trusted, independent platform that bridges communities, informs decision-makers, and empowers Somalis by ensuring their stories and realities are heard, respected, and understood both within the diaspora and internationally.
