Watch: Xasan announces a matter allowed for the people of Hiiraan

Jowhar (Caasimada Online) – The President of Somalia, Mr. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, who today delivered a speech at the inauguration ceremony of the new leadership of HirShabelle, addressed the grievances of the people of Hiiraan, particularly the Hawadle clan.

Hassan Sheikh announced that the capital has been granted to the people of Hiiraan, and they need to bring a peaceful city where the senior leaders of HirShabelle can work, after which the administration will relocate there.

The President called on those with grievances to calm down and refrain from taking any retaliatory actions, as the capital has been granted to them.

“The capital is a place where the administration and senior leaders reside; to our brothers in Hiiraan, we say the capital has been granted to you, but you are required to have a place to settle and work,” said the President of Somalia.

Additionally, he added that the process of transferring the capital will be decided officially by the leaders of HirShabelle, in accordance with the administrative constitution, and then the next step related to the relocation of the capital of HirShabelle will be taken.

“The second phase will be how to relocate? But there is no one opposed to the capital, and there is a need for the hands that will take it,” he added.

This statement comes at a time when the situation is tense in the city of Beledweyne, where politicians opposed to the HirShabelle administration are carrying out activities. On the other hand, the city is partially occupied by the new Vice President of HirShabelle, Cabdifitaax Xasan Afrax, who is also making efforts to calm the overall situation and then to engage in dialogue.
