We Are
Operation
Restore.

We are a Somali-led team of investigators, advocates, community organizers, and digital activists who refused to stay silent. What began as one man's outrage became a movement. What became a movement is now producing arrests, international investigations, and a growing global coalition demanding justice for every Somali — and every African — stolen by human trafficking.

1Movement. Growing Every Day.

How We Started

It Started With
One Decision.
It Became a Movement.

In February 2026, Operation Restore began with a simple decision: sound the alarm. Khalidmula launched a public campaign — using his platform to educate, raise awareness, and expose the human trafficking and slavery networks operating across Libya, exporting Somali and East African victims to Europe and the Middle East, and destroying lives and families across Somalia and East Africa.

The work was urgent. The need was clear. And it could not be done alone.

Human rights activists Ajiib and Fifi felt compelled to join — driven by their commitment to their fellow Somali brothers and sisters and all East Africans being exploited. They joined forces with Khalidmula. What started as one voice became a coordinated team — merging their investigations, their networks, and their expertise into a single, powerful operation dedicated to ending human trafficking.

What began as three people has grown into a coordinated operation spanning Somalia, East Africa, Europe, and beyond — producing real arrests, real investigations, and real accountability for criminals who have operated with impunity for far too long.

Our Journey

February 2026

Khalidmula Sounds the Alarm

Khalidmula launches a public campaign — hosting programs day in and day out — educating and raising awareness about the human trafficking and slavery networks operating across Libya and exporting Somali and East African victims to Europe and the Middle East.

February 2026

Operation Restore Is Born

Human rights activists Ajiib and Fifi, compelled by their commitment to their fellow Somali brothers and sisters, join forces with Khalidmula. Three dedicated individuals unite their work into one coordinated operation with one mission: justice.

Early 2026

Coordinating Across Borders

The team begins formal coordination with Somali government officials, European law enforcement authorities, journalists, and public figures — building a documented evidence base and pushing for formal investigations across multiple jurisdictions.

2026 — Ongoing

Arrests Made. Investigations Opened.

More than two arrests have been made as a direct result of Operation Restore's coordination with authorities — including arrests in Gueeterway. Five or more pending investigations are now underway with law enforcement across Europe.

Now

Going International

Operation Restore is preparing comprehensive documentation packages for submission to international bodies — expanding the reach of investigations and building the global coalition needed to end this crisis once and for all.

Our Spokesperson

🎙
Khalidmula
@khalidmula
Spokesperson — Operation Restore
In February 2026, Khalidmula witnessed a TikTok live that exposed the brutal reality of Libya's human trafficking networks. What he saw could not be unseen. He made a decision: he would use his platform to confront this crisis directly, publicly, and without compromise. Day after day, program after program, he brought survivors, families, and documented evidence to the world — refusing to allow traffickers the comfort of silence. As the spokesperson and public face of Operation Restore, Khalidmula carries the team's findings to the widest possible audience. He is the voice. The movement belongs to everyone.

Three People.
One Decision.
No More Silence.

Khalidmula's February 2026 campaign aligned with the work already being done by human rights activists Ajiib and Fifi — who had been documenting these cases independently. Together, they formed Operation Restore — merging their investigations into a single, powerful, coordinated force.

Ajiib is one of the backbones of Operation Restore. A tireless human rights activist who had already been deep in the work of documenting trafficking cases before Operation Restore was formed. His determination, his connections, and his relentless pursuit of accountability have been central to every result this team has achieved — from the arrests made to the investigations opened. He works around the clock so that families get answers and perpetrators face consequences.

Fifi is the other backbone of Operation Restore. A human rights activist who brings a unique and essential dimension to the team's work — the human one. She communicates directly with women survivors, creating the space for their stories to be heard, documented, and brought to the public platform. Her ability to connect with survivors and amplify their voices has ensured that the human cost of this crisis is never reduced to a statistic.

Operation Restore deliberately protects the full identities of its team members — because this work comes with real risk. The criminal networks being exposed are powerful and dangerous. What can be said publicly is this: the team is real, the work is real, and the results speak for themselves.

How the Team Operates

Every Member. Every Role.
One Mission.

Operation Restore functions as a coordinated unit — not a hierarchy. Each team member owns their area of responsibility, brings their expertise, and contributes to the collective mission of accountability, rescue, and justice. Here is how we operate:

🔍
Investigation & Documentation
Team members gather, verify, and document evidence of trafficking networks — building the evidentiary packages that are submitted to law enforcement and international bodies. Every arrest, every investigation opened, begins with this work.
🏛
Government Coordination
Direct coordination with Somali government officials — in Mogadishu and beyond — to push for formal recognition of the crisis and domestic law enforcement action. Team members maintain ongoing relationships with officials who are willing to act.
🌍
European Law Enforcement Liaison
Coordination with law enforcement authorities across Europe — where many trafficking perpetrators and their financial networks operate. Five or more pending investigations in Europe are the direct result of this coordination.
📰
Media & Journalism
Working with journalists across Somali diaspora media, African media, and international outlets to ensure this story reaches the widest possible audience — because public pressure is one of the most powerful tools for forcing accountability.
🤝
Community Outreach
Reaching Somali and East African diaspora communities globally — through mosques, community organizations, social media, and direct outreach — to spread awareness, collect tips, and mobilize community members to join the fight.
🎙
Public Advocacy
Khalidmula and team members who can safely speak publicly take the documented findings directly to audiences — through social media, public events, and media appearances — ensuring that what is happening to our people is seen and heard globally.

Our Impact So Far

Real Action.
Real Results.

Operation Restore is not a platform that only talks. In a short period of time — with limited resources and driven entirely by commitment to justice — this team has produced results that governments with far greater power and resources have failed to achieve.

🔒
Multiple Arrests Facilitated
Through coordinated investigation and direct engagement with law enforcement authorities, Operation Restore has contributed to the facilitation of more than two arrests of human traffickers — including arrests in Gueeterway. Each arrest represents accountability where there was once only impunity.
⚖️
Five or More Pending Investigations in Europe
Operation Restore has submitted documented evidence packages to European law enforcement authorities, resulting in five or more formal criminal investigations currently pending across multiple European jurisdictions — targeting trafficking networks with cross-border operations.
🏛
Formal Government Coordination Established
Direct coordination channels have been established with government officials in Somalia and across Africa — pushing for formal recognition of the trafficking crisis and demanding accountability from institutions that have historically remained silent.
🌍
International Documentation Underway
Comprehensive evidence packages are being prepared for submission to international bodies — including INTERPOL, UNODC, and European judicial authorities — to expand the reach of investigations beyond individual countries and establish multilateral accountability.
📢
Global Awareness Raised
Through coordinated programs, social media campaigns, and direct public outreach, Operation Restore has brought the reality of Somali and East African trafficking to international audiences — reaching diaspora communities, journalists, politicians, and advocates across Africa, Europe, and North America.

⚖️ What These Results Mean

Every arrest, every investigation, every case opened as a result of Operation Restore's work represents something larger than a single outcome. It represents proof that a small, dedicated, community-driven team — working with law enforcement and authorities across multiple countries — can break through the wall of impunity that has protected traffickers for decades.

This is only the beginning. The cases being built today will result in more arrests tomorrow. The investigations pending in Europe will expand. The documentation being prepared for international bodies will open doors that individual governments have kept closed. Operation Restore's work is accelerating — and its impact will grow with every person, every organization, and every platform that joins this fight.

A Call to Every Voice With a Platform

This work is far from over. We are calling on every public figure — political, social, media, and cultural. We are calling on every professional: lawyers, doctors, journalists, educators, engineers, entrepreneurs, and activists. We are calling on anyone who holds public office, anyone with expertise, anyone with a platform — every program, every social media influencer, every political voice, every organization with the courage to stand against human trafficking and slavery in Africa and the Middle East.

This is not the work of three people. This is the work of a continent. This is the work of a movement.

If you have skills. If you have a voice. If you have resources. If you refuse to look away — Join Operation Restore.

Who We Work With

Building the Network
That Ends This

🇸🇴
Somali Government Officials
Operation Restore maintains direct coordination channels with officials within the Somali government who are willing to engage on the trafficking crisis — pushing for formal domestic law enforcement action and accountability.
🌍
European Authorities
Working directly with law enforcement and judicial authorities across Europe — where trafficking networks have financial operations, diaspora connections, and known suspects. Five or more investigations are pending as a result of this coordination.
👮
Law Enforcement
Direct coordination with law enforcement contacts in multiple countries — building the trust and communication channels needed to turn community-gathered evidence into formal, prosecutable cases.
📰
Journalists & Media
Working with Somali diaspora journalists, African media organizations, and international outlets to ensure investigative findings reach public audiences — because media pressure accelerates accountability.
🏛
Public Figures & Politicians
Engaging politicians and public figures in diaspora countries — Canada, UK, USA, Scandinavia — to push their governments to prioritize the prosecution of trafficking networks targeting East African migrants.
🌐
International Bodies
Preparing documentation for submission to INTERPOL, UNODC, and the UN Human Rights mechanisms — to internationalize investigations and create the multilateral accountability that individual governments cannot achieve alone.

"We did not choose this fight. This fight chose us. And we will not stop until every trafficker is behind bars, every survivor is safe, and every Somali child can grow up with a future that doesn't require risking their life in the Sahara."

Our Mission

Operation Restore exists to end the trafficking of Somali and East African people through North Africa — by exposing perpetrators, coordinating with authorities, supporting survivors, and building the global coalition needed to dismantle the criminal networks that profit from this trade. We do this as a team. We do this for our community. We do this because no one else was doing it.

Our Vision

A world where no Somali family sends a ransom payment to Libya. Where no young man or woman is sold in a North African slave market. Where the political leaders who created the conditions for trafficking through corruption and neglect are held accountable alongside the traffickers themselves. And where the Somali diaspora's power is directed not into criminal pockets — but into rebuilding the futures that were stolen.
