MOGADISHU — Former Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo has warned that Somalia’s governance process has deviated from its constitutional framework, citing growing security, political, and economic challenges.
In a statement released by his office, Farmaajo said the country faces “serious security threats,” accusing the current administration of failing to decisively defeat militant groups. He also warned that fragmentation within the national armed forces has weakened Somalia’s overall defense capacity and allowed clan-based armed tensions to re-emerge in some regions.
Politically, Farmaajo said key state-building decisions are being made without broad national consensus, arguing that unilateral actions risk deepening political divisions and undermining the constitutional order.
On the economic front, he highlighted rising inflation, currency circulation problems, and declining public confidence, urging authorities to prioritize protection for vulnerable communities affected by drought and economic hardship.
Calling for a peaceful path forward, Farmaajo urged federal and regional leaders, traditional elders, civil society groups, and citizens to engage in what he described as a “national rescue effort” aimed at preserving stability, security, and constitutional governance.
He also thanked international partners for their continued support and stressed that inclusive dialogue and consensus remain essential for Somalia’s future.
