Former President of Hirshabelle, Ali Abdullahi Osoble, spoke sharply about the political situation of the Hirshabelle administration, particularly the tension in the Hiiraan region.
Ali Abdullahi Osoble made these remarks at a meeting held today in Mogadishu by the Xawaadle Community’s Supreme Political Council, which discussed the political and security situation in Hirshabelle and matters related to the administration’s elections.
In his speech, he spoke specifically about political activities in Beledweyne, criticizing the former Director of NISA, Abdullahi Mohamed Sanbaloolshe, and Hirshabelle’s Deputy President, Yusuf Ahmed Hagar (Dabageed).
Osoble linked his remarks to the current situation in Hirshabelle and the decision Hassan Sheikh Mohamud made regarding political matters and the administration’s election.
He said that Hassan Sheikh had previously appointed Sanbaloolshe to various positions, but argued that nothing visible had been accomplished during the time he held those posts. ”
I am sending a message to President Hassan Sheikh — he has wronged us.
He has placed Sanbaloolshe in charge of so many things, yet there is nothing, however small, that he has achieved,” Osoble said.
Ali Abdullahi Osoble also warned against dragging Sanbaloolshe into the Xawaadle community’s politics, saying it was unacceptable for the community’s name to be used for particular political interests.
He added that if someone who has lost a position tries to incite people toward unrest or conflict, that would further escalate the political and security dispute in Hiiraan.
The former President of Hirshabelle also spoke directly to Hirshabelle’s Deputy President, Yusuf Dabageed, who is in Beledweyne.
Osoble said that Dabageed’s attainment of the Deputy President position was, as he put it, a matter of luck and fortune, urging him to show patience and restraint.
Dabageed, the stairs you climbed were not stairs you could have reached directly at first, but God granted them t
