Failure of international community to put a stop to @HassanSMohamud’s illegal, singlehanded, controversial changes to Somalia’s provisional constitution will haunt regional & international security for years to come. @US2SOMALIA @US_SrAdvisorAF @AsstSecStateAF @antonioguterres

Exactly 70 days before the expiry of his tumultuous 4-year-mandate, President @HassanSMohamud suddenly finds the wisdom to amend the Provisional Constitution in the most undemocratic fashion (ramming it through a parliament whose own mandate expires in 45 days and one that lacks the required 2/3 majority). Why? To extend his term by another year and continue the industrial scale looting of public land. Such is the tragedy of #Somalia today.

The Somali Future Council firmly rejects the so-called amendments to the Provisional Constitution of the Federal Republic of Somalia, which were carried out through a process that clearly violates constitutional procedures, the Parliament’s rules of procedure, and the requirement of a two-thirds (2/3) majority of both Houses of the Federal Parliament.


Somalia's opposition has every right to object to HSM's constitutional changes and even to boycott parliament. That is democracy. The incumbent government has no right to use force, intimidation, coercion to railroad parliament into adopting amendments widely rejected by Somalis. This is dictatorship. It is astonishing serial misconduct and bad behaviour by Villa Somalia is allowed to pass by Somalia's international partners without even a mild statement of rebuke/censure.

State Ministr @AliOmarMP, completing the constitution requires broad consensus & legally binding procedures. Both of which your regime miserably failed to do over the last 4 years. Constitution tailored for one group & election fitted for one individual will take 🇸🇴 backwards.

MOGADISHU — Reliable sources have confirmed that foreign diplomats based in Mogadishu met with the Speaker of the Lower House, Aden Madobe, to convey their deep concerns regarding unilateral decisions to amend the national constitution. The international community expressed that one-sided constitutional changes risk creating a significant political rift and undermining national unity. The Envoys emphasized that the parliamentary leadership must take responsible and unifying actions, urging them to avoid any steps that would further alienate Somali political stakeholders, including members of the 11th Parliament. #Somalia
