Two countries accused of facilitating the progress made by Lafta-gareen's forces

Mogadishu (Caasimada Online) – The leadership of the South West administration and the Speaker of the House of the People of Somalia, Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur (Jama), who hails from South West, has accused the governments of Kenya and Ethiopia of being part of the interference in the administration.

These accusations come at a time when political and security tensions are escalating in South West, where militias loyal to Lafta-gareen have taken control of several areas and districts.

Ethiopia has been specifically criticized for the role of its troops in the administration's territories, which have been accused of failing to prevent the takeover of those areas.

The accusations indicate that Ethiopian forces have been watching the movements of the militias, instead of taking action to control the situation or prevent those militias, as they are present in those areas.

Additionally, Kenya has been accused of hosting politicians who have been sanctioned by the Federal Government of Somalia, including Lafta-gareen, who are said to be involved in the military interference occurring in South West.

Both countries have troops in Somalia and are part of the African Union mission AUSSOM. This situation further strengthens concerns about the role of neighboring countries in the political and security situation in South West.

On the part of the Federal Government of Somalia, these accusations are bringing additional pressure, as it is expected to take a clear stance on the actions attributed to Kenya and Ethiopia, particularly regarding their role in the deteriorating situation of the South West administration.

However, there has been no official statement from the governments of Kenya and Ethiopia responding to these allegations.
