Negotiations in Beledweyne between Sanbaloolshe and Afrax

Beledweyne (Caasimada Online) – An attempt to resolve the political conflict in the Hiiraan region ended without results after a special meeting in the city of Beledweyne between Member of Parliament Cabdullaahi Maxamed Cali Sanbaloolshe and the Deputy President of HirShabeelle, Cabdifataax Xasan Afrax.

The meeting took place at the garden owned by businessman Bishaar Afeey in Beledweyne, where the two officials came together to discuss the ongoing conflict and how to find a solution to the current tensions.

The discussions between the two sides lasted for more than an hour; however, the meeting concluded without reaching a tangible rapprochement, with each party maintaining its position.

From the HirShabeelle side, Cabdifataax Afrax encouraged Sanbaloolshe to cooperate with the administration, informing him that he would discuss the existing grievances with the President of the Federal Government of Somalia to find a solution to the contested issues.

Sanbaloolshe also suggested that Afrax accompany him to meet the Ugaas, while also promising to address the economic losses incurred from the ongoing issue.

Although efforts were made to bring the two officials together in a neutral space to resolve the conflict, their differing positions caused the meeting to not yield an agreement or understanding regarding the contested points.

Nonetheless, the meeting concluded with both sides setting further appointments, indicating that efforts to resolve the conflict will continue.
