Speaking about the current situation in Somalia, Farmaajo said the political conflict has moved beyond ordinary political disagreements and has now evolved into a serious security crisis due to the absence of an inclusive and widely accepted electoral agreement.

“A legitimate and inclusive election that could remove uncertainty has not been achieved. When politics fails, it turns into insecurity. That is where the country stands today,” Farmaajo said.

The former president also addressed reports involving General Odawaa Yusuf Rage, warning that attacks or pressure against senior military commanders could weaken the structure, discipline, and unity of Somalia’s armed forces.

“The chain of command disappears, military discipline breaks down, and respect for authority is lost,” Farmaajo stated.

He further warned that if military leaders begin to feel insecure or lose confidence in the system, the cohesion of the armed forces could collapse and lead soldiers to align themselves along clan lines.

“It turns into clan divisions, with every individual returning to his own clan. That is how the military falls apart,” he said.

Farmaajo argued that the current tensions could deepen Somalia’s political instability and pointed to ongoing disputes and strained relations involving Somaliland, Puntland, and Jubbaland as examples of the growing fragmentation within the country.

“The country has entered political turmoil, and our enemies — and anyone pleased to see Somalia weakened — are benefiting from this situation,” he added.

The former president also claimed that Somalia’s deteriorating situation has become a subject of criticism among international leaders. He referenced remarks he said were made by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding Somalia’s political and security condition.

“It has even reached a point where Donald Trump is saying Somalia has no president, no government, no army, and no police,” Farmaajo claimed.

Farmaajo concluded his remarks with a warning about the country’s political direction, stressing that Somalia urgently needs a comprehensive political settlement to prevent further instability and major threats to national security and unity.
