Mogadishu – RNN Somali TV
Reliable sources close to Villa Somalia have revealed that the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, has launched efforts to appease the Jareer Weyne clan by offering them the position of District Commissioner of Boondheere, one of Mogadishu’s key districts.
This move comes in response to growing tensions and dissatisfaction from the clan following the death of General Sheegoow, a former senior police official from the Jareer Weyne community. The community has expressed disappointment over the government’s handling of the case and a broader concern over political marginalization.
Rebuilding Trust
The president’s move is seen as part of a broader strategy to rebuild trust and strengthen the federal government’s relationship with historically marginalized communities. While the appointment is viewed as a gesture of goodwill, questions remain about whether it will be enough to address the deeper grievances of the Jareer Weyne.
Community Response
Some elders and intellectuals from the Jareer Weyne clan have indicated that they are not interested in “token positions” but demand meaningful inclusion in high-level political and security decision-making processes. They argue that the appointment of a district commissioner does not match the scale of their political aspirations or the injustices they seek to address.
Conclusion
If the government is serious about addressing the concerns of underrepresented communities, it must go beyond symbolic appointments and ensure genuine political inclusion. This situation highlights the delicate nature of clan-based power sharing in Somalia and the long-standing demand for political justice.
The question remains:
Will the Jareer Weyne community be satisfied with this offer, or will it spark further calls for comprehensive political reform?
