[Hussein Darwish @Husdarwish]

Aafo Qaran iyo dhulboobkii la sheegay inuu dhacay intii u dhexeysay 2022–2026 wuxuu mudan yahay baaritaan madax bannaan oo hufan.

Qodobka 26aad ee Dastuurka wuxuu ilaalinayaa xuquuqda hantida, halka Qodobka 43aad uu dhigayo in dhulka iyo kheyraadka dalka loo maamulo si caddaalad, waara, oo waafaqsan sharciga.

Haddii ay jiraan go'aanno ama heshiisyo lagu galay si ka baxsan Dastuurka, waa in si buuxda loo baaro, cid kasta oo lagu helo inay jebisay sharcigana lala xisaabtamo iyadoo la raacayo nidaamka garsoorka.

Ilaalinta Dastuurka iyo kheyraadka qaranku waa waajib qaran.

The United States should immediately review its relationship with Somalia's current leadership and impose targeted sanctions on any officials for whom there is credible evidence of corruption, abuse of power, or actions that undermine democratic governance and security cooperation.

The recent video appearing to show individuals in Somali military uniforms disrespecting the U.S. flag despite the Ministry of Defence's announcement that those allegedly involved were detained and an investigation is underway has intensified concerns about the direction of Somalia's institutions and leadership.

American taxpayers have invested billions to help build Somalia's security institutions. That support should not shield corrupt officials from accountability. Stand with the Somali people not those who betray the public trust.

A growing perception within political circles is that the fragmentation of the opposition is not merely accidental. Instead, it has become increasingly convenient and arguably beneficial for A former President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, whose political strategy has consistently favored engaging divided rivals rather than confronting a united front.

Whether by design or by exploiting existing rivalries, the result is unmistakable: two competing opposition blocs have emerged, each pursuing separate political strategies, engaging different international partners, and advancing competing electoral models. The primary beneficiary of this division is the incumbent.

Turkey's expanding political role has reinforced this dynamic. As A former President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's closest external partner, Ankara has become deeply embedded in Somalia's political calculus. Critics argue that Turkish diplomacy has, intentionally or otherwise, strengthened one opposition camp over another, creating parallel channels of engagement rather than encouraging a single, inclusive opposition platform. Whether this reflects a deliberate strategy or the unintended consequences of selective diplomacy, the effect has been the same: a fragmented opposition and a stronger presidency.

The diplomatic arena now mirrors the political divide. Turkey has emerged as the principal interlocutor for one process, while the United States and the United Kingdom support another. Rather than converging around a single mediation framework, Somalia now finds itself with competing diplomatic tracks that risk institutionalizing political fragmentation instead of resolving it.

Meanwhile, two competing political coalitions are seeking to shape Somalia's electoral future, each backed by different domestic and international networks. Instead of building leverage through unity, the opposition has diluted its influence by negotiating from separate platforms.

Compounding this vacuum is the relative absence of the UN Security Council pen holders, whose coordinated leadership has historically provided an international framework for Somali political settlements. Their diminished role has created space for competing bilateral agendas to shape the process.

Whether the fragmentation of the opposition is the product of deliberate political engineering or simply the predictable outcome of elite rivalries, the strategic beneficiary is unmistakable. A former President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud no longer faces a single opposition; he faces several.

In politics, fragmentation is often as valuable as popularity. An incumbent does not always need to defeat a united opposition if he can successfully govern a political landscape in which unity never materializes. Unless the opposition reunifies around a common leadership, a single negotiating framework, and one electoral vision, the president's path to another five year term will remain considerably less challenging than it otherwise would be.

Agreed. The Somali people didn't consent to mandate extension. Didn't consent to unilateral constitutional changes. Didn't consent to military occupation of dissenting states. Party takes all. Money to unseat state leaders. Fake politics. Real corruption.#Somalia

[Samira Gaid @SeraGaid]

“the Somali people will never again be subjected to a system they do not consent to”

This key message that keeps reappearing in @HassanSMohamud speeches rings hollow.

Because the Somali people reject corrupt electoral practices and exclusion by an indirect electoral system does NOT translate to accepting corrupt and exclusionary practices by HSM and his latest vehicle JSP.

And by the way the Somali people have not consented to the illegal mandate extension, the unilateral constitutional review, the military takeover of dissenting FMS’s… etc…

The Somali Future Council has endorsed Direct Electoral Model as a pathway to resolving the country’s prolonged electoral dispute. The decision reflects a spirit of political compromise and a commitment to the national interest, with the aim of reaching a timely and inclusive agreement on the electoral process. It is intended to break the current political deadlock, restore confidence among stakeholders, and create the conditions for a credible, consensual, and legitimate political transition.

Imagine #Africa led by political leaders with @elonmusk 's ruthless vision of governing, not engineering and this young continent would crush poverty, obliterate dictatorship, and eradicate the corruption cancer that devours it. Wake up, Africa…..!!!

Just as I warned in my LSE piece back in May - today’s election of Federal Parliament Speaker Adan Mohamed Nur Madobe as President of South West State is the exact outcome of the federal government’s strategy I mapped out.

The “South-West State flashpoint” section predicted this move step-by-step: military intervention in Baidoa, installation of loyalists, and Madobe being positioned as the candidate.

The script of Somali politics continues. Weak institutions > strong rules.

What happens next with the federal Speakership vacancy and the opposition coalition’s response will be telling.

Somali referee Omar Artan has been denied entry to the United States for the World Cup, according to a Somali government official.

Artan was named as a match official for the tournament in April and had been set to become the first Somali to referee at a World Cup. https://t.co/WqlYU6X9jN

This isn't development, it's daylight looting by Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. My family & others lived on that land with legal titles from previous govts. HSM bulldozed their homes, forcibly evicted them & handed the land (428 plots) to Ibrahim Sheikh Mohamud, who sold it to criminal cartels for $21.4 million. The attached notarized agreements document the crime & a fact. The cartels paid only after securing forced evictions & bulldozers. #Somalia public & private land lootings.

Noola Oosta (Attached samples) has laid it out in plain to the governor to legalize to the citizens of Somalia. Watch HSM’s speeches in the videos, then look at what he actually did to civilians. The gap is a lie. Criminal businessmen openly admit the president took $50,000 per plot. The demolished homes in the attached images weren't collateral damage, they were destroyed for HSM's personal gain. #Mogadishu

We will bring this to justice in the next government. The crime is documented. The witnesses are alive. The bulldozers didn't lie. #Banaadir @UN_HRC

WAR-SAXAAFADEED

UJEEDDO: CANBAAREYN XADGUDUBKA IYO WEERARKII SHALAY KA DHACAY MUQDISHO

Xafiiska Musharaxa Madaxweynaha Galmudug, Mudane Xuseen Darwiish, wuxuu si adag oo aan gabasho lahayn u canbaareynayaa weerarkii gardarrada, tacadiga iyo daandaansiga ahaa ee xalay ay ciidamada madaxtooyadu ku qaadeen guryaha Madaxweynihii hore ee dalka Shariif Shiikh Axmed iyo Ra’iisul Wasaarihii hore Xasan Cali Khayre.

Waa nasiib-darro weyn iyo arrin laga xumaado in maamulka waqtigiisu dhammaaday uu awoodda dawladnimada, hubkii iyo hantidii umadda u adeegsado inuu ku weeraro hoggaamiyayaal qaran iyo muwaadiniin nabdoon oo dalka usoo adeegay. Weerarkan dhiigga lagu daadiyay wuxuu xadgudub toos ah ku yahay dimuqraadiyadda, amniga, iyo wada-jirka umadda Soomaaliyeed, isagoo dhabar-jab ku ah dadaallada nabadeynta dalka.

• Khasaaraha Nafta iyo Barakac:
Waxaan halkaan tacsi tiiraanyo leh uga dirayaa ehelada iyo qaraabada dadkii shacabka ahaa ee ku naf-waayay weerarkan gardarrada ah. Weerarku wuxuu sidoo kale sababay barakac ballaaran oo saameeyay boqolaal qoys oo shacab ah oo ku noolaa deegaankaas, kuwaas oo isaga cararay guryahoodii.

• Burburka Hantiyeed:
Waxaa jira burbur hantiyeed oo aad u weyn oo si badheedh ah loogu geystay guryaha madaxda, goobaha ganacsiga, iyo dhismayaasha shacabka ee agagaarkaas ku yaallay, taas oo muujinaysa mas’uuliyad darro baahsan.

Xafiiska Musharax Xuseen Darwiish wuxuu ugu baaqayaa dhammaan qaybaha kala duwan ee bulshada, waxgaradka, iyo beesha caalamka inay si wadajir ah ugu istaagaan badbaadada qaranka, lagana xisaabtamo falalkan gurracan ee khatarta ku ah xasilloonida iyo mustaqbalka dalka.

[Hussein Darwish @Husdarwish]

Siyaasaddii dhulboobka waxay noqotay kursi boob xukun. Labada maalmood ee lasoo dhaafay waxaa lagu qaaday bara kicin guriga R/wasaare hore Xasan Cali Khayre iyo Madexweyne Sheekh Shariif Axmed.

Ciidanka qaranka waa inay ilaaliyaan shacabka, ma aha inay ka mid noqdaan qaran dumiska iyo damaca madaxweynihii mudo xileedkiisu dhammaaday.

Qof walba iyo askari walba waa la xisaabtami doonaa dhibka uu geysto. Waxaa muuqata in m/weynihii hore @HassanSMohamud uu rabo inuu noqdo dictator.

Soomaaliya waa wada hubeysan tahay, siyaasaddan waxay horseedi kartaa dagaal sokeeye.

Beesha caalamka waa inay cuno qabateyn saarto oo dacweyn danbiile dagaal ooge lagu daro qof walba oo dowlada ka tirsan oo dhib geysto. #Mogadishu #Somalia

Walee maanta iyo shalay waxay u muuqdaan kuwo isku eg marka la eego rajadii laga qabay isbeddelka dowladnimada.

Haddii qof kasta oo @TheVillaSomalia a fadhiista uu ku dhaco cudurka maandooriyaha ah ee xukun jecleysiga, waxaa adkaanaysa in la helo dowladnimo dhab ah oo ku dhisan hay’ado xooggan, sharci, iyo kala dambayn.

Dowladnimo lagama sugo qof danihiisa gaarka ah ka hormarinaya danaha shacabka, balse waxaa laga sugaa hoggaamiye dhisa nidaam ka sii jira marka uu xilka ka dago.

Taariikhdu waxay xusuusataa hoggaamiyeyaasha dalka u shaqeeyay, ee ma xusuusato kuwa kursiga ku dheganaa.

Sidaas darteed, shacabka Soomaaliyeed waxay rajaynayaan hoggaan mudnaanta siiya danta qaranka, midnimada ummadda, iyo dhismaha hay’adaha dowliga ah ee waara. #Mogadishu #Somalia

[UNTMIS @UNTMIS_]

.@UNTMIS_ is gravely concerned by the outbreak of fighting in Mogadishu last night and calls on all sides to demonstrate responsible leadership, cease hostilities and refrain from further actions that put civilian lives at risk while returning to dialogue in the interest of all Somalis.

UNTMIS and international partners have repeatedly warned, in our statements and stakeholder engagements, of the risk of repeating the crisis that arose in 2021 over differences regarding the electoral roadmap -- warnings that were unfortunately not  heeded.

UNTMIS urges all Somali leaders to prioritise the national interest and resume the talks that ended on 15 May. Somalia's international partners stand ready to facilitate such a dialogue.
