MP Ali Isak Subag: "Without being accused of any crime, while performing my duties, and having received my salary just last month, my parliamentary seat was taken from me through force and illegality. The President gave it to his friend. This demonstrates the type of election Hassan Sheikh wants to hold in #Somalia, and it serves as a warning to those intending to contest for a parliamentary seat—seeing as my seat was snatched from me while I am still alive." Subag spoke to Geed Fadhi podcast.

🚨MOGADISHU, #Somalia — Some employees at Mogadishu’s Aden Adde International Airport staged a strike on Thursday morning, accusing the airport’s operating Turkish company, Favori LLC, of illegally deducting wages and committing other labor violations. The workers, who gathered at the airport’s main entrance, said operations were halted as they protested what they described as unfair treatment. They said their complaints had been raised repeatedly but that authorities have yet to take action. The employees expressed frustration with the Somali government, accusing it of failing to protect local workers’ rights and of allowing foreign companies operating in the country to violate labor regulations.

Security forces in Somalia’s Galmudug regional state arrested two journalists on Wednesday night and Thursday morning for covering a surge in clan revenge killings, local officials and colleagues said. The detained reporters are Abdullahi Abdi Hirsi, known as “Qorshe,” of Somali Cable TV, and Abdullahi Abdulkadir Nor, known as “Waddani,” who is based in the regional capital, Dhusamareb. Media freedom in #Somalia is severely restricted, despite constitutional guarantees, with journalists facing deadly threats, arbitrary arrests, harassment, and censorship from both Al-Shabaab and state actors, leading to widespread self-censorship in a highly dangerous environment.

The presidents of Puntland, Jubaland, and opposition figures convened a meeting on Thursday in the southern port city of #Kismayo to discuss Somalia’s upcoming elections amid dispute with @TheVillaSomalia over the process.
