ISIS militants carried out a nighttime mortar attack on a Golis telecom tower in Sheebaab, Bari region, firing from a nearby position close to the settlement. Despite being liberated a year ago, the incident highlights ongoing security gaps.

[Abdikhaliq Awil @Abdianalyst]

Military activity in South West risks escalating insecurity. Priority must be protecting stable regions while concentrating efforts on areas under terrorist control.

[Abdikhaliq Awil @Abdianalyst]

Recent political divisions in Somalia, especially between South-West State and the FGS, risk creating security gaps. This could be exploited by Al-Shabaab. Leaders must act responsibly, maintain coordination, and prevent any vacuum that threatens peace and stability.

What a speech.

Former President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo reminded the nation what true leadership and statesmanship look like. History will remember this moment.

He spoke with clarity and humility about his own determination to deliver one-person-one-vote elections, but also about the difficult responsibility of governing a fragile nation. Faced with the real risk of political rupture, he chose compromise over confrontation — accepting a less-than-ideal electoral model because keeping Somalia united mattered more than personal or political victory.

He recalled the consultations he held with former presidents and national leaders, demonstrating that leadership requires listening, humility, and respect for collective wisdom. He also walked the country through how the Dhusamareeb I, II, and III conferences came about and how those difficult negotiations ultimately produced a political agreement that preserved national cohesion at a critical moment.

The message was unmistakable: power is temporary, but the nation is permanent.

At a time when Somalia needs unity, consultation, and restraint, President Farmaajo showed what it means to put country before self. @MrDuqa @M_Farmaajo
