President Deni is commendable for speaking up about the persistent problem of illegal fishing along Puntland’s coast, but candour alone is not enough. Garowe (PP Editorial) — At the Second Conference on Puntland Fisheries Productivity and Decentralisation in Coastal Areas, held in Bosaaso from 19 to 22 August 2025, the President of Puntland State of Somalia, Said Abdullahi Deni, concurred with Puntland Post that strict measures are required to ensure that fees from fishing licences issued in the name of Puntland State are properly accounted for and used to benefit the people of the coastal districts and villages of Puntland. The President went on to highlight an uncomfortable truth about the persistent embezzlement of fees from fishing licences issued to foreign companies. “Illegal fishing is widespread in most of Puntland’s coasts. Some trawlers have licences issued by the Puntland State, but their fishing practices are not supervised; there are also trawlers with no fishing licences. What disheartens me from time to time is the news that many fishing boats from Yemen and Iran illegally fish along Puntland’s coasts. They are protected by some people from Puntland. We have the largest coastline in Somalia, but our people are very poor; people from other countries exploit our marine resources. When the Puntland State government takes measures against illegal trawlers fishing in Puntland’s waters, some traditional leaders come and plead with us for the release of these illegal trawlers,” said President Deni. It was encouraging that President Deni referred to the Puntland Fisheries Regulation, which specifies the supervisory role of the State in ensuring that no licensee employs methods that deplete Somali marine resources. However, it was discouraging when the President made impractical suggestions on how to deal with the widespread corruption that continues to affect the lives of millions of Puntland people, who might otherwise benefit from the proper use of fishing licence revenues. Puntland Fisheries Productivity and Decentralisation in Coastal Areas, held in Bosaaso from 19 to 22 August 2025. “It is not the law of the land that can help address this problem [of embezzling fees from fishing licences]. We must take steps to raise people’s consciousness,” said President Deni. This framing suggests that awareness of corrupt politicians and their associates is more important than enforcing the rule of law. Yet corruption poses a greater threat to Puntland State than terrorism. Soon, well-connected elders may even accept kickbacks from ships carrying toxic waste to be dumped on Puntland’s coast. President Deni is commendable for speaking up about the persistent problem of illegal fishing along Puntland’s coast, but candour alone is not enough. It is morally unacceptable if President Deni cannot be transparent about how much of the fishing licence revenue issued by Puntland State actually reaches government coffers. Perhaps the Auditor General of Puntland State could shed light on this governance problem. © Puntland Post, 2025 The post Puntland President Calls for Accountability in Fisheries Licences appeared first on Puntland Post.

MOGADISHU, Somalia —Somalia’s political opposition is splintering as senior leaders move to form new parties ahead of the country’s first planned direct local elections, deepening rifts within the main opposition coalition and reshaping the contest against President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Political sources told Caasimada Online that former Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke, former South West regional president Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden, and former parliamentary speaker Mohamed Mursal Sheikh Abdurrahman are preparing to announce the launch of major new political parties beginning this week. The three men, each a veteran of Somali politics, are expected to compete in the municipal polls scheduled for October in Mogadishu — elections that, if held, would mark a step toward universal suffrage after decades of indirect, clan-based power-sharing. Their departure from the Salvation Forum, opposition coalition underscores the divisions hampering efforts to mount a united challenge to Mohamud’s government. “These leaders see greater opportunity in going their own way,” said a Mogadishu-based analyst, noting that the move could “further fragment the opposition at a critical time.” Parallel bloc pushes for unity In contrast, another camp of influential opposition leaders is seeking to consolidate. Former president Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, ex-prime ministers Hassan Ali Khaire and Mohamed Hussein Roble, and lawmaker Abdirahman Abdishakur Warsame met last week to discuss restructuring the coalition and forming a new “alliance of candidates.” They aim to pool resources and unify messaging against Mohamud’s ruling faction, which they accuse of monopolizing power and undermining consensus. The meeting followed the collapse of talks earlier this year between the opposition and the president over electoral reform. Opposition leaders walked away, accusing Mohamud of sidelining rivals in pursuit of his agenda. The turmoil coincides with a surprise move by Somalia’s Independent Electoral Commission, which this week reopened registration for political associations. The commission said the extension would allow newly emerging parties to register in time for the October polls formally. Analysts said the decision could reshape the playing field. “This offers an opening for new actors,” said Abdullahi Sheikh, a political commentator in Mogadishu. “But it also adds uncertainty, as the number of competing groups continues to multiply.” Long road to direct elections Since the state’s collapse in 1991, Somalia has relied on an indirect electoral system in which clan elders select delegates who, in turn, elect lawmakers and the president. President Mohamud, re-elected in 2022, has championed a transition to “one person, one vote” elections, but the path has been fraught. Previous attempts to hold direct polls faltered amid insecurity, disputes between federal and regional authorities, and weak institutions. A limited experiment was held in 2021 in Puntland, but nationwide implementation has remained elusive. For many Somalis, the October municipal elections are seen as a test case for whether direct voting is feasible in a country still battling Al-Shabaab insurgents and struggling to build trust in state institutions. Profiles of the breakaway leaders Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke, son of former president Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke, has served twice as Somalia’s prime minister and is regarded as a seasoned diplomat with ties to Western governments. Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden, once speaker of parliament and later president of South West State, is known as a shrewd political operator with deep clan networks. Mohamed Mursal Sheikh Abdurrahman, who served as parliamentary speaker between 2018 and 2022, is remembered for his role in contentious debates over security and constitutional reform. Their combined experience could make their parties serious contenders, though their split risks weakening the broader opposition camp. Political risks and security challenges The fragmentation comes at a time of mounting pressure on the government. Mohamud has pledged to deliver both political reform and a decisive offensive against Al-Shabab, the al-Qaeda–linked insurgent group that continues to stage deadly attacks in Mogadishu and beyond. Meanwhile, relations between the federal government and regional states remain tense. Leaders in Puntland and Jubaland have resisted aspects of Mohamud’s electoral agenda, warning that hasty reforms could destabilize fragile power-sharing arrangements. International partners — including the United Nations, the African Union, and Western donors — have urged Somali leaders to build consensus around reforms and avoid repeating the crises that delayed the 2021–2022 elections. For ordinary Somalis, the political maneuvering adds to a sense of uncertainty. Many residents of Mogadishu express frustration that elite rivalries overshadow urgent priorities such as security, jobs, and public services. “Every time elections come, leaders argue among themselves while people suffer,” said Abdifatah Mohamed, a shopkeeper in Bakara Market. “We want to vote, but we also want peace and stability.”

The story of Somalia does not open like a dusty record book—it bursts forth like a storm on the horizon, alive with cries of resistance and the heartbeat of a people who would not be broken. Between 1948 and 1950, in distant capitals under the dim glow of chandeliers, foreign powers weighed Somalia’s fate like traders over spoils, debating whether to return it to Italy’s grasp, their whispers dripping with betrayal as though the nation were nothing more than a discarded piece of empire. Yet beyond those velvet halls, Mogadishu’s streets trembled beneath the footsteps of thousands, banners rose, and voices thundered like crashing waves, while at the United Nations a lone, defiant vote cut through the silence and shattered the schemes of the powerful. In that collision of whispered plots and roaring crowds, history revealed its deepest truth: Somalia’s freedom was not a gift bestowed, but a legacy carved in defiance, forged in sacrifice, and seized by a people who refused to surrender their destiny.

Hussein’s later description of the maritime MoU as ‘paused’ speaks volumes about his discontent at being dismissed for promoting a series of policy failures. Mogadishu (Commentary) — Hussein Sheikh-Ali, the former Somali National Security Adviser, wrote a piece several weeks after he had resigned. He summed up the main threats to the sovereignty of Somalia in the second paragraph of his op-ed: “Ethiopia’s hegemonic instinct runs deep, shaped by centuries of conflict with Muslim sultanates and European-backed Christian alliances.” Hussein single-handedly managed aspects of Somalia’s foreign policy towards Ethiopia, ranging from the 2022 intelligence-sharing agreement signed by Mahad Salad, the Director of National Intelligence and Security Agency and his counterpart, to the 2023 Somalia–Ethiopia defence pact signed in Addis Ababa in December 2023. In February 2023, when Essa Keyd, the former Foreign Minister of the Somaliland Administration, a secessionist entity in northern Somalia, claimed that the Somaliland administration “is a buffer zone for Ethiopia”, Hussein dropped the ball by failing to challenge the absurd claim, which was tantamount to rejecting the sovereignty of Somalia. In 2024, when Ethiopia signed the now-defunct illegal maritime Memorandum of Understanding with the Somaliland Administration, Hussein proposed a policy that was adopted by the Federal Government of Somalia. The policy designated secession as a national security threat. The Federal Government of Somalia later reversed that policy when it proposed the resumption of talks with Hargeisa. Although Hussein did not welcome the 2024 Ankara Agreement between Somalia and Ethiopia, he privately dismissed the deal that led to Ethiopia respecting the sovereignty of Somalia and abandoning the maritime MoU with the secessionist administration in Hargeisa. Ethiopia maintains a peacekeeping force in Somalia in line with the Ankara Agreement. Cross-border movement between Somalia and Ethiopia is now characterised by amity. Just as Somalia has undergone changes since 1991, Ethiopia has also been transformed by political shifts. Like Somalia, it has its own challenges, as a civil war is raging in parts of Ethiopia, a multi-ethnic country. Hussein briefly served as National Security Adviser to President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo, who sacked him for utter incompetence. His contribution to the counter-terrorism effort was the establishment of the Ma’awisley paramilitaries in 2022, a catastrophic decision that pitted highly spirited and patriotic civilians against well-armed and battle-hardened Al-Shabaab terror units in Hirshabelle. The Ma’awisley sustained more casualties than the Somali National Army forces suffered in battles against Al-Shabaab. Hussein was more interested in repeating his signature phrase Suumanka Hala Dhuuqsado (“tighten your belts”). In 2022, he posed for the camera aboard USS Hershel “Woody” Williams, a US Navy ship. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud appointed Hussein as National Security Adviser to reward him for his opposition to President Farmajo . That Hussein later described the maritime MoU as “paused” reveals much about his dissatisfaction at being sacked for promoting a litany of policy failures. After all, he was selected for loyalty, not for competence in national security or familiarity with the modern history of Somalia or Ethiopia. © Puntland Post, 2025 The post How Loyalty Trumped Competence in Somalia’s National Security Office appeared first on Puntland Post.

Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Saacadihii u dambeeyay, mas’uuliyiinta Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya iyo xubnaha Mucaaradka ayaa warbaahinta isku dhaafsaday hadallo adag. Hadalladan ayaa dhaliyay buuq iyo falcelin xooggan oo ka dhex abuurmay bulshada. Tan iyo markii lagu kala kacay wada-hadalladii u dhaxeeyay Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya, Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud, iyo Madasha Samatabixinta ee ku mideysan siyaasiyiinta mucaaradka, ereyada labada dhinac isu adeegsadeen ayaa noqday kuwo aad u kulul. Ra’iisul Wasaare hore, Maxamed Xuseen Rooble ayaa dowladda ku eedeeyay inay diidan tahay in doorasho wadar-ogol ah la gaaro, iyadoo cutubka 4-aad dib loogu celinayo ka hor inta wax ka beddel lagu sameyn, taasoo uu ku tilmaamay mid caqabad ku ah hannaanka doorashooyinka. Xasan Sheekh ayaa dhankiisa mucaaradka ku eedeeyay inay gabeen kaalintoodii dagaalka Al-Shabaab, taasoo ay iska fogeeyeen mucaaradka. Sidoo kale, Madaxweynaha oo ku sugan Dhuusamareeb, ayaa mucaaradka ku tilmaamay “kuwa aan lahayn aragti mideysan oo lagu horumarin karo dalka”. Madaxweynaha ayaa fashilka wada-hadalladii siyaasadeed u saariyay mucaaradka, oo uu sheegay inay rabaan in loo laabto amuurtii dastuurka 2012-kii. “Aan ka doodno xitaa waa diideen,” ayuu yiri. Sidoo kale, Siyaasi Cabdiraxmaan Cabdishakuur oo kamid ah siyaasiyiinta mucaaradka, qeybna ka ahaa kulamadii u dambeeyay ee Madaxweyne Xasan ayaa mucaaradka ka fogeeyay inay horseedeen fashilka, isagoo madaxweynaha u saariyay in fashilka uu sababteeda leeyahay. “Madaxweyne dadku waa ogyihiin in dagaalka argagaxisada laguugu garab taagnaa, lagaase yeeli maayo in guuldarradii ka dhalatay khilaafka dastuurka, musuqa, eexda iyo boobka dhulka danta guud aad cid kale dusha ka saarto,” ayuu yiri Cabdiraxmaan Cabdishakuur oo ka jawaabay eedeynta Madaxweynaha. Wasiirka Dekedaha Soomaaliya, Cabdulqaadir Jaamac ayaa dhankiisa qoraal uu soo dhigay bartiisa Facebook uga jawaabay eedeymaha mucaaradka, isagoo sheegay in mucaaradku doonayo in aan doorasho qof iyo cod ah dalka ka dhicin, taasoo ku dooday inay tahay mid ay xaq u leeyihiin shacabka Soomaaliyeed, ayna muddo badan sugayeen. Maxaa ka dhalan kara is-weerarka labada dhinaca? Dowladda iyo mucaaradka ayaa mid walba saxnaanta dhankiisa u arka. Iyadoo dowladda Xasan Sheekh ay ku doodeyso inay abuurtay fursado badan oo wada-hadal ah, welina ay diyaar u tahay in laga wada-hadlo xaaladda dalka, balse aysan ogolaan doonin in Soomaaliya lagu sii hayo halkeeda. Mucaaradka oo shirar kala duwan la yeeshay Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya ayaa dhankooda ku doodaya in sida hadda wax u socdaan aan lagu aadi karin doorasho, isla markaana aysan aqbaleyn in “hoggaanka dalka uu gacantiisa ku dhisto nidaam doorasho oo u xaglinaya”. Kala fogaanshahan iyo is-weerarka ay warbaahinta isku marinayaan labada dhinac ayaa meesha ka saaraya in miiska wada-hadalka xal looga gaaro xiisadda siyaasadeed ee taagan, xilli wax ka yar sanad ay ka harsan tahay muddo xileedka Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh. Dad badan ayaa ka cabsi qabay in hadallada adag ay sii fogeeyaan labada garab, inkastoo horey ay isugu soo dhawaayeen una wada-hadleen arrimaha doorashooyinka iyo xaaladda guud ee dalka. Dhinacyada ayaa laga cabsi qabaa in mid walba uu awood ciidan wax ku raadiyo, taasoo horey uga dhacday Muqdisho kadib markii uu Farmaajo diiday inuu kubadda dhexda keeno, taasoo sababtay khasaare isugu jira dhimasho, dhaawac, iyo weliba burbur hantiyeed.

MOGADISHU, Somalia — In the gilded corridors of Washington, D.C., a sophisticated and foreign-financed machine is methodically working to dismantle the Somali Republic. A recent report by Caasimada Online has pulled back the curtain, revealing a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign, bankrolled by the United Arab Emirates and executed by the powerhouse firm FGS Global, with a single, devastating objective: to legitimize the secession of Somaliland. This external assault on our national integrity is audacious. Yet, the most profound danger lies not in the ambitions of Abu Dhabi or the guile of its lobbyists, but in the catastrophic paralysis gripping Mogadishu. The deafening silence of the Somali Federal Government and the abdication of our intellectual class constitute a self-inflicted wound far more grievous than any foreign plot. They are standing idle as our nation’s future is being auctioned to the highest bidder. The architecture of division This is no organic independence movement; it is a corporate takeover of a nation’s destiny. The UAE’s strategic investment in Somaliland’s Berbera port is now being secured through a political offensive in the West. By channeling millions to FGS Global, Abu Dhabi has purchased legitimacy, buying a seat for its regional proxy at the tables of the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, The Economist, The Daily Telegraph, Bloomberg, and the Washington Post. It has commissioned favorable narratives from influential think tanks like the Hudson Institute and the Atlantic Council, which now market the dismemberment of Somalia as a “rare opportunity” for American interests. This well-oiled machine of influence is manufacturing a reality for Western policymakers. It sells a sanitized vision of a stable Somaliland, deliberately juxtaposed against the complex struggles of greater Somalia. They are not merely lobbying; they are authoring the official story, ensuring that the only narrative that reaches the world’s most powerful decision-makers is the one that serves their strategic and financial agenda. A dereliction of duty in the capital Confronted with this existential threat, the response from the Somali Federal Government has been a symphony of inadequacy. Where is the strategic counter-offensive? Where is the robust, well-funded diplomatic campaign to defend the sanctity of our borders? While our soldiers bleed to protect our territory from extremists, our sovereignty is being diplomatically outmaneuvered and sold off in Washington. The prime directive of any government is to protect the nation’s integrity. This duty is not confined to the battlefield; it is fought and won in the op-ed pages, the policy forums, and the backrooms of international diplomacy. By failing to mount a serious challenge to this separatist lobby, Mogadishu is not practicing statecraft; it is overseeing a managed decline. This passivity is an abdication of its most sacred responsibility, allowing a regional administration’s PR campaign to eclipse the voice of a sovereign state on the world stage. The crippling silence of the scholars Equally complicit are the Somali intellectuals, academics, and public thinkers. In a contest that is fundamentally a war of ideas, their silence is a national tragedy. Our nation is blessed with brilliant historians, lawyers, and economists who possess the intellectual firepower to dismantle the lobbyists’ arguments piece by piece. Yet, this arsenal remains locked away. Where are the intellectual antibodies to this political poison? Where are the compelling, data-driven papers submitted to the very think tanks being co-opted? Where are the sharp, incisive articles defending the legal, historical, and economic necessity of our union? This is not a moment for academic neutrality; it is a moment for patriotic intellectualism. Their failure to enter the fray is a betrayal of their role as guardians of the national consciousness. A national summons to action This grim reality is not a eulogy, but a summons. The fight for Somalia’s unity must be waged with the passion, professionalism, and strategic resolve that our adversaries have demonstrated. First, the Somali Federal Government must awaken from its slumber and unleash a diplomatic and intellectual counter-offensive. This requires immediate, significant investment in professional representation in key capitals to champion our cause relentlessly. Second, our scholars and public intellectuals must answer the call. They must form a united front to reclaim the narrative, engaging with global media and policy circles to present an irrefutable, evidence-based case for a unified and prosperous Somalia. Finally, the Somali diaspora and media must be mobilized into a global force. We must use every platform to expose the foreign interests driving this division and rally a global chorus of support for our sovereignty. The battle for our nation’s soul is being fought not with guns, but with narratives. Our opponents are disciplined, funded, and determined. We must meet their challenge with a unified and unwavering national will. History will not forgive the generation that allowed its nation to be lost, not in a war of arms, but in a war of words it refused to fight. Caasimada Online Editorial Team
