El-Sayed on Trump posting an image of him and his wife in a restaurant with the caption "two VERY DIFFERENT Americas": "He's right. One in which your overlords are two people who don't like each other but joined in the interest in making billions of dollars off of you, or two people who genuinely love each other enjoying some pancakes together ... "

🇸🇴 Int'l pressure forced a halt to fighting in Muqdisho & helped prevent further escalation. Foreign diplomats demanded an immediate ceasefire, warned of embassy closures & evacuations if violence resumes, threatened sanctions &travel bans on those responsible for any new attacks

[Horn Front @HornFront]

Col. Ibrahim Sheekhaal, the personal bodyguard of @FahadBinYasin, remains abandoned inside Godka Jilacow. No one from Fahad’s side has even dared ask about him. Sources say Fahad fears mentioning the arrest after NISA linked him to sabotage & grave crimes against #Somalia🇸🇴.

🇸🇴 Security insiders confirm Mahad Salad is under de facto house arrest after Koofiyo Cas units linked to Villa Somalia were deployed around a secured area in Muqdisho

Movement is reportedly fully restricted amid escalating tensions over Galmudug leadership.

#Somalia #Mogadishu

[Horn Front @HornFront]

Analysts say @HassanSMohamud made a major miscalculation in Galmudug. The gamble is now collapsing in real time

Mahad Salad is not a weak figure to intimidate, sideline or control. What was meant to project power is increasingly turning into a political setback for Villa Somalia

[Horn Front @HornFront]

Insider from Villa 🇸🇴 claims Türkiye’s core concern is the growing influence of 🇦🇪 UAE aligned Somali political figures incl. Said Deni, Ahmed Madobe & Sheikh Sharif, among others.

Ankara is moving to actively counter Abu Dhabi’s expanding footprint in 🇸🇴.

[Horn Front @HornFront]

🇪🇹 Growing alarm inside Horn security circles over rising fragmentation risks across #Ethiopia as #Amhara insurgency consolidation, #Tigray tensions & #Somaliregion political mobilization intensify simultaneously.

Observers warn converging fronts are raising systemic instability

[Horn Front @HornFront]

Intel sources from the Horn of Africa confirm 🇦🇪 uses ports, roads & commercial projects as cover for covert networks across 🇸🇴🇩🇯 🇪🇹, buying political elites, recruiting locals & expanding 🇦🇪🇺🇸🇮🇱 influence of total freedom across the region.

Western media deliberately ignores it

[Horn Front @HornFront]

Many accuse Djibouti’s longtime ruler of turning Somalia into a client state through election rigging, backing proxy factions, fueling FGS/regional rifts, expanding 🇩🇯 control & colluding with foreign actors against 🇸🇴sovereignty.

How deep does Djibouti’s grip on Somalia go?

[Horn Front @HornFront]

🇸🇴🇩🇯 A highly reliable source confirms @HassanSMohamud held a lengthy call with Djibouti strongman @IsmailOguelleh (in power since 1999) amid rising fears of #Djibouti meddling in #Somali affairs and backing select political groups over others.

[Horn Front @HornFront]

Analysts warn the Horn’s crises are rapidly converging into a single instability front.

[Horn Front @HornFront]

AU & IGAD raise alarm after 🇸🇴’s political talks collapsed without consensus.

The talks broke down as opposition figures rejected the legitimacy of process following the expiration of @HassanSMohamud’s term

🇸🇴 is now entering a far more dangerous phase of political uncertainty

[Francesca Di Mauro @francescaDM_EU]

I was briefed by @HassanSMohamud on his perspective on recent talks. Having spoken to @HESaidADeni yesterday, I gather that both sides remain open to dialogue. Somalis will decide on their political settlement. As a key partner, the EU hopes for an inclusive and democratic one.

[Horn Front @HornFront]

🇸🇴 Somalia political crisis deepens amid electoral deadlock.

🇸🇴 Mogadishu talks reportedly collapsing under pressure.

[Horn Front @HornFront]

🇸🇴Mogadishu talks collapse with no compromise.

Sources say Pres Hassan rejected opposition proposals during high stakes negotiations on what is being called his final day in office.

🇸🇴 now enters deep uncertainty, with warnings of constitutional rupture & political breakdown.
