The opposition figure, who has unfortunately aligned himself with factional groups and clan-based militias, has requested direct dialogue with the national leadership.
While engagement remains possible, the following principles must first be clearly affirmed:
👉🏾the sovereignty of the Somali state.
👉🏾the inviolability of Mogadishu's security.
👉🏾the 2026 constitution as the supreme legal framework; and the commitment to one person, one vote elections. Only then can constructive talks proceed.

⚡️BREAKING: South West State presidential hopefuls Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan and Abdiaziz Mohamed Hassan Jawari have on Sunday threatened to withdraw from the upcoming election race unless Aadan Mohamed Nur (@AadanMadobe) steps down as Speaker of #Somalia’s House of People, escalating pressure on @TheVillaSomalia-backed candidate ahead of the vote.
Former President Hassan Sheikhs term is up. He must work with all stakeholders to keep Somalia together, not drive it apart. Former presidents Sharif Sheikh Ahmed and I have extended an invitation to him for a meeting to discuss the way forward on elections and national future.

#ALERT: Himilo Qaran Party Issues Political Warning to President Hassan Sheikh
The opposition Himilo Qaran Party, led by former President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, has issued a strong political warning to President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, claiming that his authority will no longer be recognized after the next 30 days.
Speaking at a press conference in Mogadishu, Member of Parliament Yusuf Hussein Ahmed “Gama’diid,” the Secretary-General of Himilo Qaran, sharply criticized President Hassan Sheikh and expressed concerns over the country’s political direction.
Gama’diid argued that any orders issued by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud beyond the next 30 days would, in the party’s view, lack legal legitimacy. He further suggested that the president would no longer be operating from the presidential compound after that period.
In a strongly worded statement, Gama’diid also criticized recent security developments, stating: “For someone to claim, 48 hours later, that weapons collected by Macalin Mahdi were seized from Sheikh Sharif is a very unfortunate situation.”
The remarks come amid heightened political tensions in Somalia, where opposition groups and government officials continue to disagree over governance, constitutional matters, and the country’s political future.
The Federal Government has not immediately responded to the statements made by Himilo Qaran officials.
#Media outlets, it would be unfortunate if, when you leave here today, you downplay these #weapons or treat them as insignificant."
— #Commander Moallin Mahdi
🚨 BREAKING: Mogadishu Police Chief, Mahdi Omar Mumin widely known as Moalim Mahdi, has issued a stark ultimatum to opposition leaders.
He explicitly warned that any further attempts to mobilize forces will result in the immediate arrest of those responsible - vowing to display them handcuffed in court.
Furthermore, Mahdi confirmed that lawsuits have been filed against former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed and former PM Hassan Ali Khaire, holding them legally accountable for every casualty during this week’s two-day clashes between federal and opposition forces. #Somalia
