Any attack on Baidoa or South West State territory will be met with an appropriately severe military response. I urge president Hassan Sheikh to use the remainder of his short time in office to not spill Somali blood but help find a solution for a credible election process.
The Southwest State Government @southweststat categorically denies reports alleging that the President has requested negotiations.
We strongly caution independent media outlets against disseminating false and fabricated information.
The Ministry of Internal Security of the Southwest State of Somalia formally warns against the reported transfer and distribution of weapons originating from Egypt 🇪🇬 to militia groups linked to extremist elements (Khawaariij) and Militia. This act constitutes a grave threat to national security, with the potential to exacerbate instability, incite conflict, and undermine social cohesion.
The Ministry expresses profound concern regarding the intent behind these actions, which appear designed to destabilize the Southwest State and target Ethiopian 🇪🇹 Sector Three forces operating under the peacekeeping mission. Such conduct carries serious security implications and poses a direct risk to the overall stability of the region.
The @southweststat, has launched a 3-day training in Baidoa on strategic communication & public engagement, aimed at improving the capacity of journalists from different sectors.
The training was chaired by @MahatAfatah & @Bandhawoow
Special thanks to @UNTMIS_ for the support!
