Jowhar (WDN) — Somalia’s federal system is facing another potentially destabilizing political rupture after senior Hirshabelle figures openly challenged President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s handling of the regional leadership and electoral process.
Hirshabelle Vice President Yusuf Hagar (Dabageed) and former National Intelligence and Security Agency chief and lawmaker Abdullahi Mohamed (Sanbalooshe) have critically come against the president’s proposed plan for Hirshabelle election.
Sanbaloolshe sharply criticized the president’s decision to support Ali Gudlawe remaining in power despite what Sanbaloolshe said was opposition from the Hawadle community.
Sanbaloolshe warned that if Hassan Sheikh is satisfied to control Jowhar and Balcad without broader political agreement, Somalis could ultimately establish another government. “If Hassan Sheikh and Gudlawe are satisfied with Jowhar and Balcad, Somalis will establish another government,” Sanbaloolshe said.
