Federal Government of Somalia Rejects South West Decision, Urges Dialogue and Stability
The government commended the people and administration of South West for their role in safeguarding national unity and contributing to constitutional review and democratization efforts in Somalia.
However, it emphasized that it is actively working to reduce tensions and address conflicts through dialogue, while safeguarding the progress achieved in the fight against extremist groups.
The statement also strongly condemned a decision by South West authorities to suspend cooperation with the federal government, affirming that federal institutions will continue fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities in the region.
The Federal Government called on the South West administration to remain engaged in reconciliation and democratic processes, and urged community leaders, elders, and politicians to avoid actions that could threaten peace, security, and stability.
