Mogadishu (Kaab TV) – Former Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo has raised concerns over the country’s worsening security, political, economic, and social conditions, calling for national dialogue and unity to prevent further instability.

In a statement released on Monday, Farmaajo said Somalia is facing “serious security challenges,” accusing the current government of failing to adequately address the threat posed by terrorist groups. He warned that divisions within the national army have significantly weakened the country’s defense capabilities.

The former president also expressed concern over the resurgence of clan-based armed conflicts in several regions, describing them as a serious setback to peace and stability.

Farmaajo said Somalia’s governance framework has strayed from the agreed constitutional path, emphasizing that major political decisions must be based on broad national consensus. He cautioned that authoritarian political practices could deepen divisions and undermine ongoing state-building efforts.

On the economic front, Farmaajo highlighted rising inflation and growing public distrust, urging the government to protect vulnerable communities affected by drought and recurring humanitarian crises.

He called on the federal government, federal member states, traditional elders, civil society, and citizens to unite in safeguarding national stability, security, and constitutional order. Farmaajo also stressed the need to strengthen efforts against terrorism and pursue political reconciliation through inclusive dialogue and broad-based participation.

MOGADISHU (Kaab TV) – Former President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo has warned President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of violating the Provisional Constitution and the he dangers of prioritizing interest-based groupings over unity.

In a statement addressing the recent political development in Somalia, Farmaajo who now lives in Doha, Qatar, warned of the dangers of prioritizing interest-based groupings over unity and the public good, stating that such actions could plunge the country into a dangerous situation that threatens its cohesion and stability.

“I warn against the dangers of prioritizing interest-based groupings over unity and the public good, which could plunge the country into a dangerous situation that threatens its cohesion and stability,” Farmaajo wrote.

Farmaajo directly accused President Hassan Sheikh of deliberately violating several constitutional articles — namely Article 87, Article 50, Article 92, and Article 65.

All of these articles, he stated, clearly define the obligations to uphold the constitution and the unity of the country, the role of the National Consultative Council (NCC) in decisions of national importance, the federalization process, and the duties of the parliamentary leadership — including the prohibition against members of parliament being affiliated with political parties or organizations.

“Specifically, I urge the President to reverse the unilateral steps that are currently a source of conflict, including the disregard for the constitution under which he was elected, the formation of laws and electoral committees without consensus, and the dismantling of the National Consultative Council — a move that has created avoidable political divisions,” he said in the statement.
