By Mogadishu (LM) The recent clashes in Raskambooni have been described as a tragic escalation, with critics pointing fingers at President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud for instigating conflict among the National Army, which is supposed to defend the nation. Observers are alarmed that forces trained for national defense are now turning against each other.
Hassan Mohamed Hussein knows as (Mungaab) former Banadir governer and Mayor of Mogadishu, A prominent political figure stated, “Only President Hassan Sheikh is responsible for what happened there today. He has instigated conflict in a peaceful area and used the National Army for ulterior political interests.” This sentiment reflects a growing frustration among various factions within the country.
Mungaab continued, urging President Hassan to “come back to the discussion table” and halt the perceived invasion of the regional administration, warning that such actions are further dividing the Somali community. The call for dialogue underscores the need for unity in a nation grappling with internal strife and external threats.
The situation is particularly concerning as political tensions rise, with some leaders expressing a willingness to “force someone who has a different opinion than me.” This rhetoric raises fears of deepening divisions and potential violence as Somalia continues to navigate its complex political landscape.
As the nation seeks stability, the urgent need for reconciliation and dialogue among all parties is more critical than ever. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, hoping for a peaceful resolution that prioritizes the unity and security of the Somali people.
