Sheikh Sharif strongly responds to the statement from the NISA Agency

Mogadishu (Caasimada Online) – The former President of Somalia, Mr. Sheikh Sharif Sheikh, has strongly responded to the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) which accused his forces of causing security disturbances in the city of Mogadishu, presenting evidence showing that armed militias with AK-47s, BKM, and RPGs forcibly entered houses in the Tiintiinley neighborhood of Wadajir district.

Sheikh Sharif, reacting to this issue, firmly denied NISA's claims, stating that the accusations directed at his protection detail are baseless.

The former president of the former Transitional Government also presented a complaint he has and accusations he directed at government forces, indicating that there have been a series of incidents that have raised security concerns, including roadblocks and restrictions affecting movement around the area where Sharif resides, while also mentioning that essential services for daily life such as water, food, and similar necessities have been obstructed, however, patience has been shown to avoid armed conflict.

Additionally, he added that many troops have been stationed at his home, and some of his staff working at his office have been abducted, as he stated.

The Sheikh warned against the continuation of these activities, emphasizing that the responsibility for any consequences will be borne by the government of Somalia.

Muqdisho, Soomaaliya. 11-ka Oktoobar 2026 : Madaxweynihii 7-aad ee Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya, Mudane Shariif Sheekh Axmed, wuxuu si cad u beeninayaa sheegashada maanta ay baahisay Hay’adda Sirdoonka iyo Nabad-sugidda Qaranka ee (NISA), taas oo la xiriirtay eedeymo been abuur ah oo loo jeediyey illaalada Madaxweynaha oo ka tirsan ciidanka Qaranka.

Waxaan caddeynaynaa in sheegashadaasi aysan ka tarjumayn xaqiiqada dhacdooyin tixane ah oo lagu khal-khalgalinayay deegaanka Madaxweyne Shariif Sheekh Axmed, iyadoo si gaar ah aan uga digayno warbixinnada looga danleeyahay marin-habaabinta shacabka Soomaaliyeed ama sumcad-dilka siyaasiyiinta mucaaradka.

Madaxweyne Sheekh Shariif Sheekh Axmed, wuxuu si buuxda u aqoonsanyahay muhiimadda ay leedahay illaalinta amniga qaranka, madax-bannaanida hay’adaha amniga iyo dhowrista sharciga. Hase-yeeshee, mabaadi’daasi waa inay si siman ugu dhaqmaan dhammaan muwaadiniinta iyo siyaasiyiinta dalka, iyadoo aan loo eegin mowqifkooda siyaasadeed.

Maalmihii ugu dambeeyey waxaa jiray dhacdooyin taxane ah oo walaac amni abuuray, kuwaas oo ay ka mid yihiin jidgooyooyin iyo xannibaadyo saameeyey isu-socodka agagaarka deegaanka uu deggan yahay Madaxweynihii hore Mudane Shariif Sheekh Axmed, iyadoo la hor-istaagay adeegyada daruuriga ah ee nolol maalmeedka sida biyaha, cunnooyinka iyo wixii la mid ah, hase-yeeshee laga muujiyay dulqaad, si looga fogaado isku dhac hubeysan.

In addition, there has been an abduction of some of the staff at the former president's office, amid concerns about the presence of armed forces stationed near the president's residence, but on many occasions, it has been ignored to respond, in order to intimidate the local population and to maintain respect for the fragile statehood.

All these incidents need to be properly documented, verified, and any wrong actions will be held accountable to those who personally committed them while using the name of the statehood.

The national security agencies must be independent of political struggles, operate under the law, and protect citizens equally.

We call on the leadership of the NISA agency to stop misleading the Somali people who are struggling with humanitarian conditions arising from the storms, heavy rains, displacement, and the looting of their property or lands.

The political situation in the country requires awareness, responsibility, and leadership away from actions that could lead to armed conflict. Somalia does not need a new security crisis, and it is not appropriate for political disputes to turn into a conflict that endangers the lives of citizens and the stability of the country.

We once again warn that security incidents or unverified accusations should not be used for political pressure, intimidation, or attempts to silence opposition politicians who stand for the establishment of an inclusive election in the country.

Therefore, the responsibility for any illegal actions or incitement to conflict lies with the transitional government, and our position is peace, dialogue, and a political solution.

President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed reiterates that he has no interest in creating a state of insecurity, inciting violence, or bloodshed. He believes that political disputes in the country can be resolved through genuine dialogue, mutual trust, and an agreed electoral process.

The transitional government, security agencies, politicians in the country, and all relevant parties are urged to show patience, uphold the law, and avoid any actions that could worsen the current situation.

We also call on the international partners of Somalia to promote transparency, accountability, and finding solutions to electoral disputes and the overall challenging political issues in the country.

Finally, the claims of NISA cannot change the reality, and it cannot be a justification for the bloodshed of opposition politicians, and once again we clearly reject the accusations aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the former President Mr. Sharif Sheikh Ahmed.

OFFICE OF THE 7TH PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF SOMALIA.
