Mogadishu (WDN) – As Somalia enters an increasingly fragile and volatile political period following the expiration of the mandate of the administration led by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, and amid mounting opposition pressure and sustained anti-government campaigns, reports are emerging that federal authorities have intensified pressure on opposition leaders.

The political climate has deteriorated further following explosive allegations circulating on social media claiming that federal security agencies are involved in a dangerous covert operation targeting former Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed — claims that, if true, could significantly deepen the country’s political crisis and instability.

Several politicians aligned with President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud have also publicly warned former President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed to “be careful” remarks that further risk inflaming the already tense political atmosphere.

The claims, which rapidly spread across online platforms and political forums in Mogadishu, allege that authorities are considering either arresting the former president or orchestrating a covert operation aimed at eliminating him. Although no credible evidence has yet emerged to substantiate the allegations, the rumors have already intensified tensions inside the capital and deepened fears of an escalating political crisis.
