 Somali PM calls on Somaliland to cut Israel ties, urges reconciliation Somali Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre has called on Somaliland’s leadership to cut ties with Israel and to resolve disputes with the federal government through dialogue. Barre said relations among Somalis should be addressed through talks rather than confrontation, in remarks during a ceremony to mark the first anniversary of the establishment of North East State. In December 2025, Israel announced mutual recognition with Somaliland, a move strongly rejected by the Somali government as a breach of its sovereignty and territorial integrity and criticised by many countries across the world. “Regarding our brothers in Somaliland, I have nothing new to say. I repeat what we have always said: we call for Islam, brotherhood and Somali unity. These are the things that bind us together,” Barre said, TRT Afrika reported. He added: “Whatever mistakes have occurred between us, we are prepared, together with the Somali pe...

APP TRACKING ICE RAIDS SUES US, CLAIMING OFFICIALS PUSHED APPLE TO TAKE IT DOWN. (PHOTO).

 App tracking ICE raids sues US, claiming officials pushed Apple to take it down

For six months, Apple offered an app called ICEBlock, which allowed users to alert others when they spotted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. After the Trump administration claimed the app endangered officers, Apple removed it from its store.

On Monday, the app’s creator, Joshua Aaron, filed a lawsuit against top Trump administration officials, alleging they pressured Apple to suppress his free speech and his right to distribute and promote ICEBlock. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, claims that Attorney General Pam Bondi misused government authority when the Justice Department contacted Apple and demanded the app’s removal. Bondi had publicly stated in October that Apple had complied with her request.

The case could shed light on how Apple responds to government pressure. While Apple has historically removed apps at the behest of authoritarian governments such as China and Russia, this is one of the first times such a request reportedly came from U.S. officials.

ICEBlock’s removal was part of a broader crackdown on immigration-related apps. Apple also pulled DeICER, which reported ICE activity, while Google removed Red Dot, a similar service. Meta took down the Facebook group ICE Sighting-Chicagoland for violating its policies against coordinated harm.

Representatives for Bondi and the Trump administration did not respond to requests for comment, and Apple declined to comment.

The lawsuit is the latest chapter in a partisan debate over government influence on digital platforms. In 2022, Republican attorneys general sued the Biden administration, claiming it pressured social media companies to suppress content critical of COVID-19 measures and vaccines. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the administration, allowing government communication with platforms about misinformation.

The Trump administration had condemned ICEBlock and similar apps, claiming they obstructed justice and encouraged violence against law enforcement. The Electronic Frontier Foundation previously filed a lawsuit seeking information about any government communications with tech companies that might have pressured them to remove these apps. Aaron’s lawsuit follows that effort.

Aaron criticized Apple’s decision, saying it aligned with the company’s practices abroad but contradicted how it typically responds to U.S. authorities. He cited Apple’s refusal in 2016 to help the FBI unlock a terrorist’s phone after the San Bernardino attack, citing privacy and security concerns.

Aaron hopes the court will rule that the government cannot coerce private companies and that Apple will restore ICEBlock to its platform. He said the case highlights the importance of standing up when the government oversteps its authority.
