MOGADISHU, Somalia<\/b> \u2013 The Deputy Minister of Information, Culture, and Tourism, H.E. Abdirahman Yusuf Al-Adaalla, has delivered a powerful critique of tribalism, identifying it as the root cause of Somalia’s most persistent challenges, including terrorism, poverty, and irregular migration.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a public forum today, Minister Al-Adaalla addressed the interconnected nature of the country’s social and security issues. He argued that the fragmentation caused by clan-based politics has weakened national cohesion, creating a vacuum that extremist groups like Al-Shabaab (Khawarij) have exploited.<\/p>\n
“Migration, fear, terrorism, and poverty are all symptoms of the tribalism we cling to,”<\/b> Minister Al-Adaalla stated firmly. “The only cure for these ailments is a strong, unified state with a solid foundation.”<\/b><\/p>\n
The Minister emphasized that a robust government is essential not just for security, but for economic development and social stability. He urged the public to move beyond clan allegiances and prioritize national identity, noting that a strong state apparatus is the only vehicle capable of delivering justice, services, and protection to all citizens equally.<\/p>\n
Al-Adaalla\u2019s remarks come as the Federal Government intensifies its efforts to combat extremist ideologies and promote social reconciliation. By linking tribalism directly to the country’s struggles, the Minister called for a collective shift in mindset, advocating for state-building as the ultimate remedy for Somalia’s recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
