Fahad Yaasiin responds surprisingly to Xasan Sheekh's speech

Mogadishu (Caasimada Online) – The former Director of the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA), Fahad Yaasiin Xaaji Daahir, has surprisingly reacted to the speech delivered tonight by the President of Somalia, Mr. Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud, who spoke about the overall situation in the country, particularly security, elections, and the conflict between him and the opposition groups.

Xasan Sheekh praised that his government has achieved significant success in advancing the democratic process and implementing one-person, one-vote elections, noting that more than one million people participated in the elections held in the Banaadir Region, South West, Galmudug, and HirShabelle, and that they were conducted peacefully.

He also added that the Federal Government of Somalia is still ready for dialogue and to listen to the different perspectives held by opposition members.

The President emphasized the importance of continuing political dialogue and national consensus, stating that dialogue is a continuous process that needs to be maintained, considering the political circumstances in the country.

“Political dialogue and national consensus are a way to make progress, but it is not an end; it is an ongoing task at all times and in every situation that arises. Therefore, I want to clarify to the Somali people and the international community that the door for dialogue is always open in every situation that arises,” he said.

“Political dialogue and national consensus is a way to make progress, but it is not an end; it is an ongoing task at all times and in every situation. Therefore, I want to make it clear to the Somali people and the international community that the door for dialogue is always open in every situation,” said Hassan Sheikh.

Following this, Fahad Yasin, a member of the National Salvation Alliance, responded and criticized the President of Somalia, Mr. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, accusing him of ignoring his people and the political situation in the country.

He also described the President's speech as one that shows he has distanced himself from the real situation in the country, saying: “It is evident from Hassan Sheikh's speech that he has taken a mental vacation from the lives of his people and the political situation in the country, and has moved to a state of mental detachment. The only remedy that can restore awareness is to perform surgery and cleanse it of the virus of chair detachment.”

This statement comes at a time when there is still a significant difference of opinion between the Federal Government and the opposition, as previous talks that had been ongoing between the two sides have failed, further intensifying the conflict in the country.
