@Guntigaab True. Koonfur Bari is one of Somalia’s most populated regions, as conflict pushed many into major cities. Much of Mogadishu’s 3 million population trace back to Koonfur Bari, displaced since the civil war and recent fighting. The federal gov hasn’t been fully honest in this war, but the new Koonfur Bari administration, backed by Mootooley Darwish forces, is expected to finish it, so people can return to their fertile lands and rebuild food production.

In this sense, the Biimaal are not presented only as a historical reference, but as a continuous and enduring socio-political force. The Biimaal of yesterday persisting as the Biimaal of today. The poet’s message goes beyond remembrance and becomes a call for renewed collective awareness and a revival of leadership rooted in historical legitimacy. It urges the community to reassert its role in local governance, rather than remain passive in the current political arrangement where leadership is entrusted to Omareey, a descendant of earlier heroic lineages. The poem, therefore, functions as both memory and exhortation, calling for a reawakening of responsibility grounded in ancestral legacy and historical continuity.

South East State (Koonfur Bari) has been formally established following the successful conclusion of the Guulwade Conference (3–14 May 2026).

Mr Cumareey Cali has been elected State President, with a two-year mandate to lead the formation of state institutions, in line with the Federal Government’s constitutional framework.

This outcome follows a structured consultative process beginning in July 2025, through the Dhurqabe I (Mogadishu) and Dhurqabe II (Marka) conferences, culminating in the adoption of a State Constitution and the establishment of transitional governance.

We extend our congratulations to the newly elected leadership and all stakeholders involved. We further urge peaceful engagement and call on the international community and the Federal Government to observe and respect this locally led process.

The «Guulwade» Conference, which opened yesterday in Marka City, Lower Shabelle, has entered its second day.

The two-week gathering will deliberate on the formation of a self-governing administration for communities residing in Lower Shabelle, Middle Shabelle and Lower Jubba. In these regions, governance has not effectively extended to these wider communities since the establishment of the Jubbaland and South West regional governments, and there is now an aspiration to establish a local regional administration aligned with the Somali Federal system.

The international community is urged to closely follow the proceedings and support inclusive dialogue, stability, and locally driven governance initiatives in the region.

Bimaal community in Marka Calls on International Partners for Inclusive Governance

Key Points:
• The Bimaal regions were incorporated into Jubbaland State and South West State without adequate consultation during the previous term of Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, raising concerns over fair representation and social cohesion.

• Following consultations with elders, intellectuals, professionals, and youth, the Bimaal appointed Mr. Cumary Ali as President to lead efforts in uniting the Bimaal and all local communities in the regions.

• The leadership emphasizes promoting cohesion, equitable governance, and regional development, in alignment with Somalia’s broader state-building objectives.

•The Bimaal Community calls on the United Nations, the African Union, the European Union, and other international partners to engage directly, support inclusive federal arrangements, and ensure local communities voices are represented in Somalia’s ongoing state-building process. @UNSomalia @aussom_ @EU_in_Somalia @US2SOMALIA
