Somali Police Chief Chairs High-Level Security Meeting, Targets Human Trafficking and Khawarij Threats

Mogadishu, SONNA – The Commander of the Somali Police Force, Brigadier General Asad Osman Abdullahi, led a critical meeting this week with top police officials to enhance national security, crack down on human trafficking networks, and prevent destabilizing acts of violence.

The gathering brought together senior police commanders and division heads to strategize on improving public safety and dismantling criminal operations. Brig. Gen. Abdullahi commended security forces for their ongoing efforts and announced the formation of a specialized technical committee tasked with evaluating security gaps in Mogadishu.

A key focus of the discussion was intensifying operations against the Khawarij who continue to threaten civilians with attacks and extortion. The new committee will develop actionable measures to disrupt their activities and bolster urban security.

This meeting shows the Somali government’s commitment to eradicating human trafficking—a growing regional concern—and restoring stability amid persistent insurgent threats. Further operational details remain confidential for security reasons.
