Mogadishu (Caasimada Online) – Some members of the Somali Future Council who held a press conference this afternoon in the city of Mogadishu have issued a strong statement regarding the latest situation, particularly the actions taken by the president, especially the dismissal of the chairman of the Supreme Court of the country, Mr. Baashe Axmed Yuusuf.

The Secretary of the Future Council, Maxamed Aadan Jimcaale (Koofi) who spoke at the press conference elaborated on their statement, stating that they view President Xasan Sheekh's targeting of the Supreme Court as a coup and a blatant attack, as he put it.

“The Future Council condemns the attack and coup that the outgoing president has carried out against the Supreme Court and the pursuit of the chairman and judges of the Supreme Court of the country,” said Koofi.

He also added that as a council, they welcome the ruling issued by the court regarding the expiration of the terms of government institutions, and therefore elections should be held that all political parties agree upon.

“The Somali Future Council welcomes the ruling of the Supreme Court of the country, which determined that the parliament, the president, and the government have exceeded their terms, and that elections should be held within 90 days,” the Secretary of the Somali Future Council reiterated.

The council also emphasized that they see the action taken by the court as an important opportunity to resolve the political conflict and uncertainty surrounding the upcoming federal elections in the country.

Finally, the Future Council has alerted the public to a danger they claim the country is currently facing, which has arisen from the ongoing conflict, noting that the responsibility lies with the President of Somalia, Mr. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.

Somalia is currently in a critical phase, with attention focused on the outcome of the conference that President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has once again convened, inviting the Peace and Life Party, the Somali Future Council, the National Unity Forum, and the Civil Society Coalition, to participate in a national consultative conference that will take place in Mogadishu from November 14-18, 2026.
