We are under attack.
For the second time in less than 24 hours, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has directed armed forces against our peaceful gatherings. This evening, as we convened in reconciliation dialogue with traditional elders, including Ugaas Maxamud Cali Ugaas, we came under attack.
Tonight, the residence of former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed in Mogadishu was repeatedly targeted by forces acting under HSM orders.
I extend my deepest condolences to the families of those killed and my thoughts are with the injured.
These are not isolated incidents. They are coordinated strikes directed by a man whose presidential mandate constitutionally expired on 15 May 2026 — now mobilizing state forces to silence those who oppose his unconstitutional hold on power. This is a deliberate pattern of politicizing and militarizing Somalia’s fragile state institutions against its own people.
Most alarmingly, the forces carrying out these attacks were trained and equipped by our international partners to fight Al-Shabaab — not to be turned against Somalia’s own political leaders.
I call upon Somalia’s international partners to stand firmly in defense of Somalia’s Constitution and constitutional order.
Tonight, all indications are that Victory is for the UDA candidate Rtd Major Mohamed BARROW Dekow. The people of Garissa Township have again said NO to politics of division, local parties that belong to the kraals.
Hongera Major Dekow, the incoming MP. Hongera UDA.
We have another new MP, making us the majority in the National Assembly.
Thank you the people of Garissa Township for the seamless transition and an end to clan politics.
Now, wheel the BARROW!
What an amazing night!
Thank you to the people of Oxley for the increased trust you have placed in me.
Being your Representative and serving as Member of a new Federal @AlboMP Labor Government is the greatest honour of my life.
Impeached governors and those stopped from accessing their office should not be allowed to run for office. There must be respect for the rule of law. @NCAJ_KE@EACCKenya@SpiceFMKE
