Safety for readers and volunteers

Reading Calankii is safe and open to everyone. Taking part should never put anyone at risk, so we follow these rules everywhere, and we take extra care in Somaliland.

Our rules

  • We never publish the names, photos or locations of readers or volunteers.
  • We do not use trackers, ads or third-party scripts on this site.
  • We follow the law wherever our readers live. Money from abroad must follow local law, and never goes to any armed group.
  • Nobody is ever pressured to take part.

In Somaliland

Somaliland's constitution bans associations “contrary to the national interest” (Article 23(4)) (text). Between 31 December 2024 and 16 January 2025, two pro-unity activists were held in Hargeisa with no formal charges reported (Hiiraan).

So on pages about Somaliland we ask nothing of readers there. Read, learn and get to know us. That is all.

Toosoo!

Since 1895, every generation has worked for one united, prosperous Somalia.

Nothing is asked of you. Our work comes to you.
