MOGADISHU — Former Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed “Farmaajo” has reportedly launched a sharp verbal attack against President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, following renewed political tensions and disagreements over the direction of Somalia.
Farmaajo’s remarks come amid an increasingly heated political debate in Somalia, with disagreements focusing on governance, constitutional reforms, elections, security, and relations between the Federal Government and Federal Member States.
The former president has repeatedly criticized aspects of the current administration’s policies, while government supporters have defended President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s leadership and argued that the administration is pursuing reforms aimed at strengthening state institutions.
The latest exchange comes at a politically sensitive time as Somalia prepares for another important phase in its political transition. The country continues to face major challenges, including security threats, political divisions, constitutional implementation, and preparations for future elections.
Farmaajo remains an influential figure in Somali politics, and his public statements continue to attract significant attention among opposition supporters and political observers.
The latest confrontation could further intensify political divisions in Mogadishu and fuel a broader debate over Somalia’s political future and leadership.
President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has yet to issue a detailed response to the reported remarks.
