Acting President Sadiya Yasin Haji Calls for Peace in Hiraan Region

MOGADISHU, June 21, 2026 (SONNA) — Somalia's Acting President and Speaker of the Federal Parliament, Sadiya Yasin Haji, has issued a strong appeal for peace following renewed clan clashes in parts of the Hiraan region, particularly the fighting between local communities in Jalalaqsi district.

"The tragic fighting that occurred between brotherly communities living in the same area in Jalalaqsi district of Hiraan region is a serious matter that cannot be ignored or met with silence. It undermines peace, social cohesion, and the future of the local population," the Acting President said.

Sadiya called on traditional elders, religious scholars, community leaders, the Hirshabelle administration, and the wider public to work urgently toward ending the violence and finding a lasting peaceful solution to the dispute.

"As the leadership of the House of the People, we reaffirm our support for every effort aimed at stopping the bloodshed and strengthening peace and brotherhood among the local communities," she added.

The Acting President concluded by stressing that safeguarding peace and preventing any actions that could trigger further conflict is a collective responsibility, emphasising that the public interest and peaceful coexistence of communities must take precedence over all other considerations.
