Deputy Executive Secretary IGAD, Former Special Envoy, 2nd President, HirShabelle State of Somalia 2017-20. Views VERY strictly mine.

























































By not supporting @M_Farmaajo ill-advised constitutional manipulation and unlawful term extension in the last election cycle (2020-22), Presidents @PresidentMadobe and @HESaidADeni have successfully steered the perception, narrative, and reality of opposing @M_Farmaajo away from becoming a clan issue, Somali Politics’ troublesome and nasty weak link. With the country not fully reconciled from the causes and impact of the civil war, their courageous decision and the goodwill generated therein, helped reduce the prevailing political temperature, leading to the successful resolution of the contested issues, and may have prevented the country from sliding back into civil war over the contested election. I paid a Eid-Al-Fitr goodwill visit to President Madoobe at his residence in Nairobi. We discussed the prevailing political situation in Somalia, the apparent current political polarization, this time with troublesome clan overtones. I appealed to his patriotism, networking prowess and wisdom to contribute to the resolution of the current crises between the Federal Government and Federal Member States- in an atmosphere of dialogue, compromise, and putting the dire situation of the Somali people, currently suffering from the combined impact of Al Shabaab and difficult drought. I appreciate his wisdom and goodwill on display throughout our discussions.
