MOGADISHU (Kaab TV) – The U.S. Embassy in Mogadishu has issued a statement emphasizing efforts to revive stalled talks between the Government of Somalia and opposition groups amid growing political tensions in the country.
The embassy joined several international partners and organizations that have recently urged Somalia’s political stakeholders to return to negotiations over key national issues, including the country’s electoral process and other disputed political matters.
In its statement, the United States warned against any actions that could trigger violence or instability between the federal government and opposition leaders, stressing that dialogue remains the best path toward resolving political disagreements.
“The United States urges Somalia’s political stakeholders to exercise restraint and avoid any actions that could fuel violence or instability, and we call for dialogue,” the statement from the U.S. Embassy in Mogadishu said.
The renewed international pressure comes as Somalia faces increasing political uncertainty linked to disagreements over elections, constitutional reforms, power-sharing arrangements, and the broader democratic transition process.
Relations between the federal government and opposition groups have become increasingly strained in recent months, with opposition figures accusing the government of failing to build consensus on the electoral framework and other national priorities.
The United States is among several international actors calling for political compromise and inclusive dialogue to prevent further instability in Somalia at a sensitive time for the country’s political future.
The latest appeal follows similar calls from the United Nations, the European Union, and the United Kingdom Government, all of which have urged Somali leaders to resume negotiations and prioritize national stability.
