This is the consequence of installing an illegitimate, inexperienced and handpicked individual in one of the highest offices of the state. His statement represents a reckless departure from Somalia’s established foreign-policy position on a highly sensitive international dispute and risks undermining Somalia’s own argument for sovereignty and territorial integrity.

🚨 BREAKING: 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia finally realizes ..
Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan reportedly says:
The era of relying on the U.S. is over. How can Trump protect us when he cannot even protect his own country?
Omar Abdulkadir Artan represents years of hard work and international achievement. Punishing individuals because of where they were born undermines the very principles of fairness, opportunity, and justice that democratic societies claim to uphold.
🔴 Énorme DINGUERIE encore des États-Unis...
L'arbitre somalien Omar Artan 🇸🇴 s'est vu refuser son entrée aux États-Unis, alors qu'il est sensé officier pendant la Coupe du Monde ! 🙄
Malgré l'aide appuyée de l'ambassade somalienne de Nairobi, qui lui a fourni un PASSEPORT DIPLOMATIQUE, M. Artan a dû faire demi tour à son arrivée aux USA.
On parle d'une personne qui a été élue MEILLEUR ARBITRE AFRICAIN EN 2025 ! 🤦♂️

"Critics argue that Turkey has become a significant actor in Somalia's ongoing political tensions and conflicts by continuing to strongly support President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud despite disputes over the legitimacy of his mandate."
Evidence suggests that Turkish drones intended for operations against Al-Shabaab were used against civilians during the recent clashes in Mogadishu. If confirmed, this would raise serious concerns about the misuse of counterterrorism resources. #Somalia#Mogadishu
The claim that Somalia is enjoying complete peace and stability is detached from reality. If Mogadishu has truly become a model of security, why are explosions, political tensions, and armed confrontations still recurring?
The narrative being promoted that Somalia is experiencing a widespread conflict does not reflect reality. Rather, it is the result of attempts by certain UAE-backed warlords to create an atmosphere of instability by firing into the air and deliberately escalating tensions, portraying the country as a conflict zone.
One of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s most significant achievements over the past four years has been transforming Mogadishu into a center of peace, security, and stability after years of turmoil. The provocations and armed displays witnessed today are aimed precisely at undermining these gains, damaging the capital’s stability, and creating a negative perception of Somalia.
The United States urges all stakeholders to exercise restraint and avoid actions that fuel violence or instability.
We encourage all parties to commit to dialogue and cooperation in support of peace and stability across Somalia.
Somalia is entering uncharted territory as the government's mandate expires tomorrow. At the same time, there is no political agreement in place on the way forward. The responsibility for this situation falls on the president and his administration. This is worrisome. I hope a last-minute deal is reached.
