Jaamac has stated that Kenyan troops are protecting Lafta-gareen in Nairobi

Mogadishu (Caasimada Online) – The Speaker of the House of the People of Somalia, Mr. Abdulqadir Mohamed Nur (Jama) who participated in a meeting discussing the difficult situation in South West, has called on the Federal Government to take action against individuals he claimed are involved in terrorist activities, whom he mentioned are located in cities within the country of Kenya.

Jama revealed that the government is required to respond to why individuals on the terrorist blacklist are still present in known locations, particularly hotels located in the capital city of Nairobi.

The Speaker requested the government to explain why no visible action has been taken against individuals he stated the Somali government has added to the terrorist blacklist, yet are still in cities within the country of Kenya, while their locations are known and are protected by the security forces of that country.

“It is not possible for a country with which we have good relations, and neighborliness among the Somali people, to have a person shedding blood lying in between, and this is a new issue that has recently emerged,” said the Speaker of the House of the People of Somalia.

Similarly, Speaker Jama stated that the Federal Government is required to hold accountable the peacekeeping forces present in the districts currently occupied by the forces loyal to Abdicasis Lafta-gareen who are expanding in the Bay region.

} “We want the government to hold accountable the peacekeeping forces for what they are doing to the Khawaarij. We also want the government, especially the administration, to respond to us regarding a terrorist who has been added to the Somali government's blacklist and is residing in some cities in Kenya, known locations where they are living, and are being protected by security forces of that government. What is the reason that until now the government has not taken any visible action?” Jamac said again.

He also added that it is unacceptable for the Khawaarij to remain in some areas, and that they will quickly liberate all of South West.

This statement comes as Ethiopian forces have recently been accused of facilitating the capture of districts in South West, as armed militias identified as Al-Shabaab have taken over cities including Buurhakaba, Ardaale, Qansaxdheere, and Diinsoor, which has led to their reluctance to defend the security of the districts they operate in.

However, currently, there are clashes between government forces and others loyal to the former president of that administration, Abdicasiis Xasan Maxamed (Lafta-gareen), and the security situation in areas of the Bay, Bakool, and Lower Shabelle regions is precarious.
