Aadan Madoobe begins activities in Mogadishu, following Lafta-gareen's move

Mogadishu (Caasimada Online) – The President of South West Somalia, Mr. Sheikh Aadan Maxamed Nuur (Aadan Madoobe) who arrived in the city of Mogadishu has initiated significant activities related to the difficult situation in that administration.

Sheikh Aadan Madoobe held a meeting today with the Speaker of the House of the People, Cabdulqaadir Maxamed (Jaamac) who hails from South West, and they discussed the worsening situation, after new districts were seized by the forces loyal to Lafta-gareen.

The purpose of the meeting was to exchange information, as the security situation in South West is deteriorating, and the conflict has spread to new areas.

Speaker Jaamac, who issued a statement after the meeting, said that they also discussed issues related to the reconciliation of the regions of the South West State, in order to work towards unity and community cohesion.

“Today I had an information exchange meeting in my office with the Leader of the South West State of Somalia, Sheikh Aadan Maxamed Nuur (Aadan Madoobe). We discussed the overall situation in the country, particularly security, political issues, and the reconciliation of the regions of South West,” the speaker said.

South West Somalia is currently planning to launch a major offensive against the forces loyal to Cabdicasiis Lafta-gareen who have seized the districts of Qansaxdeere, Bardaale, Buurhakaba, and Diinsoor, all located in the Bay region.

The Minister of Information for South West, Nuur Siidow Baaba, speaking to Somali Cable Tv earlier stated that the people will hear news that will make them happy, and that they will regain control of those seized districts, as he put it.

} “In the coming days, the people of South West State will hear something they will be very happy about, and the essence of governance will be restored. The districts currently under the control of the Khawarij will be returned to the hands of the government,” said the minister.

This statement comes at a time when the political conflict and clashes between the forces loyal to Abdicasis Lafta-gareen and those supporting the current administration in Baydhaba, which is receiving backing from the Federal Government, are intensifying.
