President Abdelaziz Hassan Mohamed, the leader of Somalia’s Southwest State, has returned to Baidoa following a fruitless National Consultative Council meeting in Mogadishu. The meeting, aimed at resolving federal and regional election disputes, ended in deadlock, leaving Somalia’s political landscape in turmoil.
Upon his arrival in Baidoa, President Mohamed, also known as Lafta-gareen, was greeted by a welcoming committee of government officials, lawmakers, and community representatives. His return comes amid growing concerns about the country’s ability to hold timely elections and maintain stability.
The failure of the National Consultative Council meeting marks a significant setback for Somalia’s political progress. The breakdown in negotiations has prompted criticism from former President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo and raised questions about the country’s leadership and its commitment to democratic principles.
As President Lafta-gareen resumes his duties in the Southwest State, the political impasse in Mogadishu threatens to undermine the country’s fragile peace and security. It remains to be seen how regional leaders will respond to the crisis and whether a solution can be found to break the deadlock and pave the way for a more stable and prosperous future for Somalia.
