In a press statement, Farmaajo said that the current situation can only be resolved through a national consultation involving political leaders, intellectuals, and various segments of Somali society, in order to address the rescue of the country and manage the prevailing political uncertainty.

Farmaajo noted that, in accordance with Article 103 of the Provisional Constitution, the current government has become a caretaker administration and therefore lacks the authority to make critical decisions that could affect the country’s future.

He emphasized the importance of reaching a mutually agreed political settlement that would pave the way for legitimate national elections.

The former president also called on the Somali Armed Forces to avoid involvement in political affairs or being used for the suppression of citizens and the extension of political terms.

He urged them instead to focus on their constitutional duties of maintaining security, defending the country, and safeguarding national unity.

Finally, Farmaajo appealed for political compromise and for national interest to be prioritized over personal or factional interests, in order to preserve Somalia’s statehood and governance.

In the motion, titled “Motion for Impeachment and Removal from Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia”, the MPs cite multiple allegations against the President, including abuse of power, corruption, violation of citizens’ rights, and acts that they say compromise the supremacy of the Constitution.

“We, the Members of the Federal Parliament of Somalia, in fulfillment of our constitutional duties under Article 61 of the Interim Constitution, hereby submit a motion of impeachment against His Excellency President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, based on Article 92 of the 2012 Federal Constitution,” the MPs stated.

The motion highlights specific grievances:

Alleged violation of Article 3, Paragraph 3 of the Transitional Constitution, which establishes the federal government’s power-sharing system, with claims that the President has undermined social agreements.

Illegal interference in the House of the People and other independent institutions, contrary to Article 69 of the Constitution, including the use of executive power beyond constitutional limits.

The move comes amid heightened tensions in the southwest, where federal forces and clan militias have been deployed to several towns.

Sources told Kaab TV that the MPs are demanding that President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud either resign or be removed before the end of his term on May 15.

Villa Somalia did not respond to a request for comment on the impeachment motion.
