Somalia is approaching a dangerous political moment. With only 5 days left in the current mandate and no political agreement in sight, instability after 15 May 2026 is a real risk. The international community, especially the USA, must speak the truth and push for an inclusive
At State House Entebbe, I met Mr. Nick Checker, the Senior Bureau Official in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of African Affairs, who is representing President Donald Trump at tomorrow’s swearing-in ceremony, together with his delegation.
I emphasized the need for value addition and industrialisation across Africa. We cannot continue exporting raw materials such as coffee, oil and minerals without processing them. Value addition is crucial for expanding Africa’s GDP, creating jobs and increasing the purchasing power of our people.
I welcome him to Uganda and wish him a fruitful stay.
@UnderSecStateP Somalia is heading toward a dangerous political crisis after 15 May 2026. The current leadership’s mandate is ending in just 5 days, yet there is still no credible political agreement with Somali political stakeholders. Ignoring this reality risks instability,
Today, Under Secretary for Political Affairs Allison Hooker @UnderSecStateP and Ethiopian Minister of Foreign Affairs Gedion Timotheos @GHessebon formalized the Bilateral Structured Dialogue Framework, which will guide future cooperation. The signing of this document renews and strengthens the relationship between the two countries. This dialogue advanced the President’s goal of expanding U.S. commercial access to Africa while setting the stage for future engagements.
Powerful and timely call indeed. Three former presidents of #Somalia demand President @hassansmohamud stop selling public land and provide shelter to displaced citizens. They further call for the return of land illegally sold and told the government to use legal channels if there is a need.
Thank you to Presidents Abdiqasim Salad Hassan, Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, and Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo.
Today we observed the Aden Adde International Airport’s runway, which was renovated by the Favori company. We were led on that brief visit by the director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Somalia @Amoallinh and Deputy director Abdulle was also part of the visit. @fardowsaegal

Today I held a meeting with special representative of the UN Secretary General, James Swan. We discussed the country's political situation, how to create a conducive environment for credible & acceptable elections, whose results can be trusted. It was a good & productive meeting.
Whenever a solution is imminent & an agreement is about to be reached, Farmajo spoils it. The question is: who's supporting him in his spoiler bid? If there's no one supporting him, then we need to take a united stance against this man who wants to create chaos for the country.
The meeting that James Swan, Guudlaawe, Qoorqoor & Laftagareen are holding with Farmajo in Villa Somalia is a cover-up for the attacks against protesters & former presidents. Before they talk about elections, they should address political freedoms which are a condition 4 election
