MOGADISHU (Somaliguardian) – Somalia’s former president Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo on Wednesday issued a scathing rebuke of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, accusing the incumbent of dismantling the Nationwide Consultative Council (NCC) to serve partisan ambitions, in a transfer he warned might derail the nation’s fragile state-building trajectory.
In an announcement launched from Doha, the place he has remained in political self-imposed exile, Farmajo alleged that President Mohamud is looking for to restructure the NCC—initially a impartial platform for federal and regional coordination—into an instrument of non-public political consolidation.
Farmajo known as for a direct nationwide dialogue involving all political stakeholders, reiterating earlier guarantees made by President Mohamud to convene such a discussion board.
He additional urged federal member states—significantly Galmudug, Hirshabelle, and Southwest—to withstand endorsing what he termed a customized political enterprise and as an alternative push for the reintegration of Puntland and Jubaland into the NCC framework, emphasizing that nationwide cohesion hinges on full regional illustration.
The NCC, as soon as central to harmonizing relations between Mogadishu and federal member states, has confronted rising criticism over its diminished inclusivity and perceived erosion of authority below Mohamud’s administration.
There was no fast response from Villa Somalia to Farmajo’s allegations.
