A high-level political meeting is currently underway in Mogadishu, bringing together several opposition politicians who are expressing concern over the country’s political direction, particularly regarding the electoral process and relations with federal member states.
According to sources, the opposition leaders are discussing several key issues, including:
• President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s plans to finalize the electoral process before 2026
• Recent communications between Villa Somalia and the leaders of Puntland and Jubbaland
• Complaints about press freedom and the increasing pressure on opposition voices
• Concerns regarding the balance of power between the federal government and regional states
Political observers indicate that the opposition is alarmed by what they describe as a behind-the-scenes understanding forming between Villa Somalia and certain regional leaders, which could reshape the country’s political dynamics.
Reliable sources who spoke to RNN Somali TV also confirmed that some opposition figures are seeking to establish direct talks with the leaders of Puntland and Jubbaland to clarify the nature of their recent engagements with the federal government.
This meeting comes at a time when Somalia faces growing political uncertainty, and a formal press release is expected in the coming days.
