The FGS must not entertain words like mediation, de-escalation or regional integration unless all IGAD member countries unequivocally support Somalia’s position at the upcoming meeting in Uganda. Some words may well imply that our sovereignty & unity are open for discussion

For clarity sake, Pres Sheikh Sharif was part of the decision making process to endorse the MOU that made the difference in our case. The danger of denying it, will set a precedence in which Pres Formajo tomorrow might deny knowing anything about the Qalbidhagax saga & so on & on

A rumored Security/Defense pact between Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia can be a risk factor that warrants attention. Because of endless misuse of the security sector, it would be matter of serious concern if the FGS, whose term has expired, tries to sign such pact in Addis Ababa

Was Puntland trying to act as an independent country when they denied the acting speaker of the SFP to extend much needed relief aid to the city of Bosaso? Actions like this that makes more urgent then ever to finalize the Federal Constitution in a politically inclusive manner

The forced eviction displayed in Lascanood will mark a very low point both morally and politically for Somaliland. Wrongfully accusing a community for the circumstances surrounding the city will neither produce the stability intended nor tackle the underlying political dynamics.

ICJ rules in favor of Somalia’s equidistant position. The fact remains that our able lawyers used & presented the very MOU to dismiss Kenya’s claim & win most of the sea zone at stake. I wish to salute and acknowledge all the unsung heroes who took part of this long legal battle

If elections are held in military camps, what is the risk for FEAT to publicly face such irregularity. Who do we account for this apparently endless list of problems. Are we naively accepting everything that is been cooked. The reality seems more appalling than what we feared

It is surprising that no IGAD member state has issued a statement of support to Somalia's stance. The FGS needs to reorganise its diplomatic arm & press IGAD member states to stand for the principles of unity & territorial integrity which are enshrined in their own constitutions

Back to the danger zone. We must understand that no attempted coup can work in Somalia any longer. The outgoing leaders must keep in mind that this is a dangerous game which could pave the way the country to fall in the hands of Al Shabab and so repeat the Taliban experiment

It is very sad news to hear that Ikram Tahlil was murdered. May Allah have mercy on her and grant her Jannah Fardousa. The PM, by necessity, should consider appointing a Commission,with all the relevant institutions, mandated to go to the bottom of this mysterious case.

For the future health of our country, a credible and independent fact finding Commission must be established to investigate the events of 19 February that resulted into violence in Mogadishu. The battle for the court of public opinion, truth matters less and propaganda reigns

Is NCC turning into the Polity Bureau of past military regime or it has developed nostalgia for the time when the 1969 constitution was dissolved, parliamentary system/multiparty system suspended & one party system reconstituted. This may only add toxic into our political environ

On grounds of defiance & contempt, the PM within his constitutional powers can dismiss a cabinet minister, down the line, to heads of the Security agencies. Instead triggering crisis, the outgoing President should have met the family of Ikran Tahlil and assure them a due process

Be that as it may, the last twitter alert from NISA only indicates N&N’s panic mood towards the conduct of the elections. If no adequate measures are introduced to contain NISA’s hierarchy, the agency will be the theater to plan sinister activities that will endanger the election

A credible election can be attained if the major issues raised by all the stakeholders are discussed and agreed in details on the main conference. The procedure of negotiating the agenda would likely fail if mediation corners one side or the other to technical or limited issues

If you get a contaminated food, there is no point of examining it, you just throw it. The infected electoral process at hand may poison our future system of governance. Replacing the faulty election protocols may be the only path towards an orderly and peaceful transfer of power

Very unfortunate that our key officeholders are unaware of the role and function of an independent Judiciary. Courts cannot be treated as if they were part of Government departments or Ministries where appointment of committees are too frequent. The Ikran’s issue is a Court case

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. If Jubbaland’s term extension is ok with the FGS, then term extension of other states must be ok with it also. Rule of law cannot be insisted on some & allow others to arbitrarily use political authority for self serving interest

The same Malxiis Selection used for the Upper House is now been replicated to the HOP elections. Sadly, the conventional wisdom expects the IC to intervene & save us from these apparent power-mad leaders. But the solution is to use our collective voice to confront it before time

Should a society follow the law or the leader when the two are not aligned? Short term victory is also susceptible to a sudden defeat. Our long term stability requires us to get our political aspect right

The 2022 parliamentary selection is very similar to the one of 2004 both in terms of method & length of time. If the 2004 backlash gave momentum to the rise of the Islamic Courts, what could the 2022 unchecked procedural irregularities lead us to if not addressed its severity

Every time NCC conference was concluded & people thought the process may get better, it turned out to be messier. How it was handled, from the get go, conflicted with the hopes of the society leading us to a wider disappointment. It is a right to stand firm against election fraud

In my view, the ICJ’s ruling was both ‘legal’ in its equidistant judgment and ‘Political’ in its equitable solution. Why ICJ made such decision is a matter of further discussions, however, from the two legal positions of parallel vs equidistant lines, Somalia largely won the case

The politics of fear became the dominant tool used in the Upper House elections across the country. If these tactics are allowed to persist they will definitely shift the narrative of fair elections to one where fear and counteroffensive measures must be prioritize at all costs.

This audio is a gross violation of AU’s neutrality. Amb Madeira’s early exit will serve to protect the credibility & the image of ATMIS. This must also prompt the AU to appoint a leadership that acts with extra caution in its relations with Somalia’s current political situation

Stating FGS’s position alone is not enough when this senseless conflict rooted in political and moral failure is ongoing in Lascanood for the 8th day. The President and the PM of the FGS must use their good offices to exert their influence and pressure to put this war to an end

Attacking residencies of former President HSM and AAW is a reckless move that will have serious consequences. It is self evident that the outgoing FGS is viewing the battlefield as the strategic course in solving the stalemate and the upcoming negotiations merely as tactical move

It is very alarming that few individuals were abducted in reaction to the murder of Ikram Tahlil. Our nation went through unspeakable traumas brought about by uncompromising clan emotions. Because of the learned lessons, we should demand their immediate & unconditional release

The use of force to subdue a society has never worked & it made matters only worse. The violence that erupted in Lascanood this morning was unnecessary escalation. A society that doesn’t value differences in background, political views, etc, it is a society destined to fail.

The absence of a political channel to air concerns about Jubbaland’s future has been the key reason for the Gedo crisis. Now that FGS positioned itself with the Jubbaland Admin, which lost legitimacy in the eyes of many in Gedo, may escalate & complicate the situation at hand
