Abdiwali Gaas comes across as arrogant narcissistic, aloof and in denial about his record in government.

His Harvard educational claim was debunked this was previously widely disputed and not independently verified.

On Bosaso and Garowe airports, they’re politically packaged as flagship achievements, but available evidence suggests external partners handled most of the funding and execution with his role largely limited to political facilitation and ribbon-cutting.

Kaar Talk the best Somali political podcast need to do better at holding him accountable and asking the difficult questions.

PhD in State Destruction. Work in Progress.

How Somalia's president is using his own academic research to tear the country apart

There is a particular kind of danger in a politician who truly understands power.

In August 2022, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud defended his doctoral dissertation Examining the Challenges of Clan Politics in State-building: A Case Study of Somalia at the University for Peace. Its central framework, which he called Dual-Power Theory, mapped the tension between informal clan self-governance and the formal institutions of a centralised state.

Four years later, he is actively spreading it.

The supreme irony is that while Dr Hassan Sheikh Mohamud the scholar meticulously diagnosed how clan structures hijack and compromise formal state-building, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud the politician is utilising that exact academic blueprint to weaponise the clan system. The federal administration has masterfully exploited them to bypass constitutional limitations, systematically fragment federal and regional opposition and finally to drive a centralisation agenda that has pushed the country back to the brink of armed domestic conflict.

The clearest example is his electoral reform agenda. His administration has championed a shift from the clan-quota system to direct universal elections, framing it as democratic progress. It is not.

A genuine transition demands independent electoral institutions, verified voter registration and a Constitutional Court. None exist and none have been built.

Without that infrastructure, direct elections don't empower Somali voters; they hand parliament's composition to whoever controls Mogadishu's treasury and donor flows.

That is Mohamud. In March 2026, the Federal Parliament extended both presidential and parliamentary terms from four to five years. Opposition leaders called it what it was: a constitutional coup.

The opposition's failure to unite against him is not accidental either. When a rival front begins to gain ground, clan is invoked against them more over the government identifies a competing lineage within the same sub-clan as its leading figure and offers them federal appointments. What follows is a localised survival struggle inside the leader's own base.

The Tragedy He Predicted

His dissertation concluded two things;
1. Centralised control imposed on a decentralised, clan-organised society does not produce stability it produces fragmentation.
2. When the formal state is captured by narrow interests, the social contract breaks and the country slides back toward conflict.

He was not wrong.

The question is Did Hassan Sheikh Mohamud study clan politics in order to transcend it or did he study clan politics in order to master it?

His actions suggest the latter, his presidency of represents a tragic paradox of applied political science.

@XirsiJJ99 You're describing a failure of the community and presenting the disabled child as the problem.
That's a backwards low IQ mentality.

"laga bartay, lagana badiyey" is a common Somali expression used to describe a situation where someone who taught or mentored another person is eventually surpassed or outdone by their student.
In this context Sheikh Sharif bought Turkey to Somalia, but HSM did much much better

🚨In 1935, the British Government accidentally confessed on the parliamentary record that they did not own the Horn of Africa.

Not in a secret memo. On the floor of the House of Commons.

They classified the indigenous owners as foreign aliens, then gave away their land.

I have compiled the primary source parliamentary archives in the article below. I also translated a French colonial document from 1894 where France catches Britain attempting the exact same legal fraud in Central Africa.

The French literally state: "England could not give a territory to which she possessed no title."

The hypocrisy is staggering.

#Breaking HSM Family flees Mogadishu Yesterday an interesting flight was spotted arriving and departing Mogadishu Airport logged under the Air France (AFR) call sign as AFR525, this was not a regular Air France scheduled service.

The flight arrived at 11am and departed at 4pm tracked from Mogadishu, Somalia, flew over the Kisumu area of western Kenya and continued into Uganda (Entebbe) and the opposite route on arrival.

This is most likely a private charter flight operating under an Air France-affiliated call sign. So yesterday afternoon just as things were kicking off in Mogadishu HSM and/or Family and/or High ranking friends were fleeing the country I suspect with the help of Djiboutian President IOG given the links to the Air France call sign and this private carrier.

Never Forget HSM looking like he just escaped a psych ward doing an interview about his murder suspect Son hiding out in Somalia while dodging Turkish police.

If you’re wondering why everything is falling apart, start with the fact that this is even happened.
