By Mogadishu (LM) Political leaders across Somalia have condemned the recent clashes in Raskamboni, calling for an immediate ceasefire as the nation grapples with the remnants of civil strife, social disunity, and a fragile governmental structure.
In a joint statement issued by Former President Sharif Sheik Ahmed, Former Prime Minister Hassan Ali Kheire, and Federal MP Abdirahman Abdishakur, they emphasized that the principles of rebuilding the government and adhering to the interim constitution clearly state that the army should not be politicized. “The federal government troops deployed to Raskamboni are fighting against their Somali brothers,” the leaders noted, stressing that these forces should instead unite their efforts to combat the real threat posed by terrorists.
The leaders urged all parties involved to prioritize dialogue and reconciliation, reinforcing the need for peace and stability in a country still recovering from decades of conflict. They highlighted that the misuse of military power against fellow citizens undermines the progress made towards unity and security.
As calls for calm intensify, the political landscape remains charged, and the hope for a peaceful resolution hangs in the balance. The leaders reiterated their commitment to fostering an inclusive environment where all factions can work together for the betterment of Somalia.
