Boosaaso (Caasimada Online) – Meydadka in ka badan 100 kalluunka nocoa Homboro (Dolphin) ah ayaa laga helay xeebaha gobolka ismaamulka Puntland ee Soomaaliya, iyadoo saraakiishu ay weli baaritaan ku wadaan waxa sababay dhimashadooda. Wasiirka kalluumeysiga Puntland, Cabdirisaaq Cabdullaahi Xagaa, ayaa u sheegay wakaaladda wararka ee Reuters in ilaa iyo hadda la tiriyay ugu yaraan 110 Homboro oo dhintay, kuwaas oo laga helay meel aan sidaas uga fogeyn dekedda Boosaaso, isla markaana shaybaarro laga qaaday si loo ogaado waxa dhacay. “Ilaa hadda, waxaan ognahay in dhimashadoodu aysan ka dhalan dhaawacyo ka soo gaaray shabaqyada, maxaa yeelay ma jirin wax dhaawacyo ama jeexjeexyo ah oo ku yaalla,” ayuu yiri, isagoo intaa ku daray in saraakiishu aysan aaminsaneyn in maaddooyin sun ah ay sabab u yihiin maadaama kalluunka ku nool aagga uusan u muuqan inuu waxyeello soo gaartay. Dadka deegaanka iyo askar ayaa isugu soo baxay si ay u daawadaan muuqaalkan naxdinta leh, iyagoo sanka ka qabsaday urka ka soo baxayay kalluunka. Wasaaradda Deegaanka ayaa tilmaamtay afar arrimood oo suurtagal ah inay sabab u noqdeen dhacdadan: isbeddellada xaaladaha biyaha badda ee keenaya cunto yari, kalluunka ugaarsada Homboro oo u soo qaxaya xeebaha, dhibaatooyin caafimaad ama cudurro ku dhaca kalluunka oo sababa in ay raadsadaan biyo gacmeed, iyo khalkhal ka yimaada wasakhowga biyaha ama buuqa badda oo carqaladeyn kara dabeecadahooda. Sidoo kale, waxaa suuragal ah in dhaawacyo la xiriira kalluumeysiga, sida ku dhegista shabaqyada, ay sabab u yihiin. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, dadka deegaanka ayaa ku adkeysanaya in laga yaabo in qashin kiimiko ah lagu daadiyay badda, taasi oo laga yaabo inay sumeysay doofaar-badeedka. Soomaaliya ayaa muddo dheer loo isticmaali jiray goob lagu aaso qashinka halista ah, laga soo bilaabo horraantii 1990-meeyadii, iyadoo arrintaasi ay sii socotay intii uu socday dagaalkii sokeeye. Weelal ay ku jiraan kiimikooyin halis ah ayaa si joogta ah loogu arkay xeebaha Soomaaliya, taasoo walaac ka dhalisay saameynta ay ku yeelan karto noolaha badda.

DAVOS, Switzerland – Somalia remains confident in its territorial integrity and its relationship with the United States despite speculation that the new Trump administration might recognize the breakaway region of Somaliland, a senior Somali presidential adviser said Friday. Speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Yusuf Hussein, a senior adviser to the Somali President, affirmed that the US and Somalia remain “strong allies” across economic and security domains. “Nothing has changed since Trump’s first term,” Hussein told Semafor, dismissing concerns about a potential policy shift regarding Somaliland. “We’re not sure why anyone would try to raise this about our country.” These comments come amid growing speculation that the newly inaugurated Trump administration might take steps to recognize Somaliland’s self-declared independence. This speculation has been fueled by the expected appointment of J. Peter Pham, a former special envoy for the Sahel and Great Lakes regions during Trump’s first term, to lead the President’s new Africa team. Pham’s appointment sparks speculation Pham is a known advocate for Somaliland and has been a vocal critic of the previous Biden administration’s “One Somalia” policy, which maintained the US’s official position of recognizing a unified Somalia. During his tenure as a special envoy, Pham was a frequent visitor to Somaliland and often praised its democratic progress in contrast to the instability that has plagued Somalia for decades. “The United States will continue to engage with all partners that can make progress in counterterrorism and development, which includes Somaliland,” Pham said to VOA Somali Service in December 2020. Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 after the collapse of the Siad Barre regime, which plunged the country into a prolonged civil war. Located on the strategically important Gulf of Aden, Somaliland has since established a relatively stable democratic system, holding regular elections and maintaining its own security forces. Despite its de facto independence and relative stability, Somaliland has not been recognized by any sovereign state. The international community, including the African Union (AU) and the United Nations (UN), has largely adhered to a policy of supporting a unified Somalia, focusing instead on helping to rebuild the federal government in Mogadishu. Political instability, clan-based conflicts, and the rise of extremist groups have marked Somalia’s history since gaining independence in 1960. The collapse of the central government in 1991 led to a protracted civil war and the emergence of numerous autonomous regions, including Somaliland and Puntland. In recent years, the Federal Government of Somalia, backed by the international community and the African Union Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM), has made some progress in restoring stability and combating the al-Qaeda-linked Islamist group al-Shabaab. However, the country continues to face significant challenges, including ongoing terrorist attacks, political infighting, and humanitarian crises. US-Somalia relations under scrutiny The US has been a key partner for Somalia in its fight against al-Shabaab, providing significant military and financial aid. The US military presence in Somalia, primarily focused on counterterrorism operations, has been a source of both support and controversy. The potential appointment of Pham to a prominent Africa policy role raises questions about the future trajectory of US-Somalia relations. While Hussein’s comments suggest that Somalia is not overly concerned about a radical shift in US policy, the situation bears close watching as the new Trump administration’s foreign policy priorities become clearer. This could be influenced by the firm and the development of a relationship between Somaliland and Taiwan, which, in 2020, set up representative offices in each other’s territories.

Dhoobley (Caasimada Online) – Booliska degmada Dhoobley ee gobolka Jubbada Hoose ayaa soo xiray labo nin, kuna raad jooga mid kale kadib markii lagu soo qabtay iyagoo ugaarsanaya, kana ganacsanaya hilibka Geriga. Dadka ku nool gobolka Jubbada Hoose ayaa la sheegay inay aad u xiiseeyaan Hilibka Geriga, taasi oo keentay in rag badan ay ka ganacsadaan. Dilka ugaarta ayaa mamnuuc ka ah Soomaaliya, balse sanadihii dowlad la’aanta iyo dagaallada ay ka jireen dalka ayuu dib u bilowday. Sharciga lagu mamnuucay ka ganacsiga iyo dilka ugaarta ayaa weli ka jira dalka, balse ma jirto cid dhaqan gelisa, maadaama aysan dowladdu u xil saarin hay’ad gaar ah. Taliyaha booliska degmada Dhoobley G/Sare Maxamed Haybe Muxumad ayaa TV-ga Jubbaland u sheegay in rag ku eedeysan toogashada iyo ka ganacsiga ugaarta la soo xiray. Sidoo kale Taliyaha ayaa sheegay in rag kale oo lagu ogaaday kiiskaan ay boolisku ku raad-joogaan. Taliyaha Booliska Dhoobley ayaa digniin u diray cid kasta ee lug yeelata waxyeeleynta deegaanka, maadaama aagga Dhoobley ay ugaartu ku badan tahay. “Ciidamada boolisku way shaqeeyeen aad bay arintaas uga soo horjeedaan, wayna dadaaleen, waxa lagu soo helay xoolahaas si dayday ah, magaalada ayaa la rabay in la soo galiyo, waynu ogaanay kabacdina waa ka hortagnay oo hawlgal baan ka sameynay, waa ku guuleysanay,” ayuu yiri Taliyaha Booliska Degmada Dhoobley. Labada nin ee lasoo qabtay waxaa wehliya seddax kamid ah gaadiidkii ay ragaasi ku ugaarsa jireen, sida uu sheegay Taliyaha Booliska Dhoobley. “Mid baxsaday maahane, labo nin iyo seddax gaari oo Hilibkii Geriga uu saaran yahay ayaan soo qabanay,” ayuu hadalkiisa ku sii daray Taliye Maxamed Haybe. Ugaar badan ayaa u yaacday gudaha dalalka deriska la ah Soomaaliya, kadib markii ay ku nabadgali waayeen gudaha dalka. Sidoo kale, markii kala dambeyntu meesha ka baxday dadka Soomaaliyeed ayaa bilaabay inay dhirta jaraan, taas oo ka qeyb qaadatay in ugaarto isaga cararto Soomaaliya, intii dalka ku hartana weli waa la ugaarsadaa.

A prosecutor reading the charge sheet against Mohamud Yaqub, who is accused of disseminating pro-ISIS propaganda while living in the United States. Mogadishu (Commentary) — A Puntland court earlier this week indicted Mohamed Yaqub Siyad in absentia for “spreading pro-ISIS propaganda”. The prosecutor said that “Mohamed Yaqub Siyad, whose social media alias is Yaqub Siyad, shared a video on a social media platform in which he denounced counterterrorism operations against Daesh [ aka Islamic State in Somalia] as a campaign against certain clans. He also claimed that there is no Daesh in Puntland State of Somalia.” Yaqub’s video was allegedly posted after foreign ISIS terrorists had resorted to suicide bombings targeting Puntland State soldiers. This legal case is unprecedented in Somalia, given the fact that no promoter of pro-terrorism propaganda has ever been put on trial in absentia. Yaqub lives in a country where ISIS and its parent organisation, ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), are outlawed. Publicly expressing sympathy for ISIL and its affiliates can constitute a crime classified in the Western world as “glorifying terrorism.” Mohamed Yaqub Siyad faced accusations that he disseminated a video message glorifying ISIS (aka Daesh) during Puntland counterterrorism operations against the proscribed outfit. Undoubtedly, authorities in the host country will take interest in the trial against Yaqub. Other Somali social media personalities who have shown outright support for terrorist organisations could face investigations in host countries. If the video attributed to Yaqub is verified, he will face legal challenges. In the United States, 18 U.S.C. § 2339A and § 2339B, under material support statutes, prohibit support for a terrorist organisation. In the United Kingdom, the Terrorism Act 2006 stipulates that it is a criminal offence to glorify terrorism if the goal is to encourage others to commit acts of terrorism. In Germany, Section 129a of the Criminal Code prohibits the promotion or glorification of terrorism. Puntland State of Somalia has strong ties with several countries that host Somali refugees. In 2005, Mustaf Jama was one of the men who killed PC Sharon Beshenivsky in Bradford and fled to Somalia. President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, who was visiting London in 2005, told the Somali community that “the Federal Government of Somalia will arrest any fugitive who escapes to Somalia after committing a crime in the host country that was kindly welcomed by you due the civil war in Somalia .” Puntland State authorities detained and facilitated Jama’s extradition to the United Kingdom, where he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 35 years. The Puntland State judiciary has sent a timely message to Somali expatriate warmongers and terrorism sympathisers. H. A.

The influence of the United States in Africa has been declining, a trend that started years ago due to policy frameworks adopted by the US government over the years based on Security and Social change alone, a shift that has allowed China to increase its presence in the continent based on Infrastructure building and debt integrating Africa into its Belt and Road Initiative. Many African countries have turned to China for economic development and friendship due to their unconditional financing and development of infrastructure projects such as roads, railways, and ports, often leading to debt burden and takeover of critical infrastructure.

The African continent grapples with numerous challenges, including political instability, economic challenges, and social unrest. Conflicts over resources, ethnic tensions, and governance issues exacerbate inequalities across the continent. In such a scenario, the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) brokered between Somaliland and Ethiopia has ignited a political storm in the Horn of Africa. January 1, 2025 marks the anniversary of the MoU signed between the land-locked nation of Ethiopia, and the self-declared Republic of Somaliland. The MoU, signed between the President of Somaliland, Muse Bihi Abdi, and Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed Ali on January 1, 2024, ensured Ethiopia’s access to the sea, reciprocated by formal recognition of the Republic of Somaliland.[1] The 20 km sea access to the Ethiopian Naval Forces, leased for a period of 50 years, at the Red Sea port of Berbera is of great significance for Ethiopia as it satisfies the land locked nation’s ambitions to access the Red Sea. Berbera port is a critical, and strategically located, port in Somaliland. On the other hand, Somaliland, the breakaway region of Somalia, gains the much-anticipated international recognition as a sovereign nation. Moreover, Ethiopia will share military and intelligence experience with Somaliland.[2] The signing of the MoU has unquestionably impacted the status quo in the rather turbulent region. The implication and repercussions of the MoU have not only spilled across the region, but have also attracted global powers towards the Red Sea. This article aims to evaluate the far-reaching consequences of the MoU in the region. Background The primary backdrop to the MoU is twofolds. Firstly, is the Ethiopia’s quest to gain access to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, which is quintessential for the landlocked nation’s growth, development and future. Ethiopia’s longstanding need for the access to sea has been bourgeoning ever since Eritrea’s gained independence in 1993. The sea access would not only serve as a vital gateway for Ethiopia to boost its trade capabilities but would also mark a crucial step towards reducing the nation’s dependency on other countries for maritime transit.[3] Prior to the MoU being signed, Ethiopia’s access to the sea was only through the Port of Djibouti. Ethiopia had earlier pursued access to the Port of Berbera and Port of Sudan, in 2005, as alternative routes to sea access.[4] Although the ventures made by Ethiopia did not allow it to form alternative routes, the quest for a formidable sea access remained unresolved. Regaining a presence in the Red Sea would benefit Ethiopian commercial interests and revive Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy’s political legacy, which has been tainted by his handling of conflict in Tigray.[5] The second key backdrop is the pursuit of Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia, to be a sovereign nation. The question of sovereignty has proliferated since May 1991, when the representatives of the Somaliland reasserted Somaliland’s sovereignty based on the borders established on the 1960 Act of Union. The African Union (AU), a prominent regional multilateral, sent a fact-finding mission to understand the case of Somaliland and concluded that “the fact that the ‘union between Somaliland and Somalia was never ratified’ and also malfunctioned when it went into action from 1960-1990, makes Somaliland’s search for recognition historically unique and self-justified in African political history”.[6] The observations and recommendations made by the AU fact finding mission in 2005, are referred as substantial legal determinations justifying Somaliland’s independent legal status.[7] Since 1991, Somaliland, has had a history of peace, has a functioning government, conducted more than seven democratic elections, and cultivated a strong culture of democracy and stability – an achievement unparalleled to other countries in the Horn of Africa.[8] Yet the territory remains unrecognized by the AU and many other countries. With MoU being signed and agreed upon, Ethiopia has become the first country in Africa and second country in the world (after Taiwan) to recognise Somaliland as a sovereign nation. Considering the current geopolitics to be under unprecedented adversity, crisis of Somaliland has regional and global implications. Aftermath of MoU The MoU, between governments of Ethiopia and Somaliland, has shaken up the regional dynamics and attracted significant regional and international attention. The MoU was condemned globally. The United States (US) stated that it recognises Somalia within its 1960 borders, which include Somaliland, and called on all parties to resolve their issues through dialogue.[9] Similarly, UK also supported the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Somalia.[10] China too supported Somalia in safeguarding national unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity.[11] Further, regional multilateral forums like the EU, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and Arab League have also made appeals to Ethiopia not to proceed with the deal.[12] Somalia had a harsh reaction towards the MoU. On January 6, 2024, a few days after the signing of the MoU, Somalian President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud signed a law nullifying the MoU, illustrating Somalia’s commitment to safeguard its unity, sovereignty & territorial integrity under international law.[13] Further, the MoU strained the diplomatic ties between Somalia and Ethiopia. Shortly after the agreement was reached, Somalia’s government issued a statement declaring the deal null and void because of its alleged violation of Somalia’s territorial integrity and unity.[14] Later, on April 4, 2024, Somalia expelled the Ethiopian ambassador to Somalia, and ordered the closure of two consulates, accusing Ethiopia of infringing on Somalian sovereignty and internal affairs.[15] This was not the first instance where Somalia had asked a senior Ethiopian diplomate to depart from Ethiopian embassy in Somalia. On October 29, 2024, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Somalia expelled Mr. Ali Mohamed Adan (Ali Garre) serving as Counselor II at the Embassy of Ethiopia in Somalia.[16] The deteriorating diplomatic ties are perceived to be due to the signing of MoU between Ethiopia and Somaliland. The volatile diplomatic relations between Ethiopia and Somalia, paved way for Egypt to further cement their position in the region. As, Egypt delivered its first military aid to Somalia in more than four decades in August 2024.[17] Egypt has also sent 10,000 troops to Somalia as part of a peacekeeping mission, among which 5,000 will join AU Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) while the remaining troops will join separately, to counter the terror acts of Al-Shabaab. Furthermore, in October 2024, Egypt formed an axis[18] against Ethiopia, aligning with Eritrea and Somalia which escalated the regional insecurities at. The uncertainty and the growing involvement of external actors in Horn of Africa are deemed as a national threat for Egypt,[19] this is also due to the ongoing tensions between Egypt and Ethiopia. Dispute between Egypt and Ethiopia, nations that are among the largest military and economic powers on the African continent, on water sharing has been bourgeoning for years. This is primarily over the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) hydro dam on the headwaters of the Nile River. Another prominent external actor, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), endowed with considerable resources and significant regional influence, also plays pivotal role in fostering regional integration within the Horn of Africa. Especially through investments in the modernisation of the Red sea Port of Berbera (located in Somaliland). In 2018, a tripartite agreement was signed between Ethiopia, DP World, a UAE based company, and the Somaliland Port Authority, which provided DP World with a 51 percent stake, Somaliland with 30 percent stake and Ethiopia with 19 percent stake, in the Berbera Port.[20] Although Ethiopia did not meet the expectation and had to forgo its stake in June 2022.[21] Although UAE affirmed to share close and distinguished ties with both Somalia and Ethiopia. Turkey also aimed to harness influence in the region. In 2017, Turkey set up its biggest overseas military base in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, increasing Turkish presence in the Horn of Africa country.[22] Post the Signing of MoU, in February 2024, Turkey reaffirmed its long-standing security partnership with Somalia and signed the Defence and Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement. Under the agreement, Turkey would assist Somalia in developing its capacity and capabilities to combat illegal and irregular activities in its territorial waters.[23] Later, in July 2024, Turkey sent naval support, in form of an exploration vessel, off the coast of Somalia.[24] Although, Turkey has maintained a neutral stance throughout the volatile regional dynamics. Turkey shares cordial ties with both Ethiopia and Somalia, therefore, at the request of Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, Turkey initiated mediation between Ethiopia and Somalia. The mediation by Turkey resulted in the signing of Ankara Declaration, on December 11, 2024, between Ethiopia and Somalia.[25] The declaration is expected to have a positive effect towards regional peace and stability. The positive ripples of declaration are already in action, as Ethiopia defence minister visited Somalia on January 2, 2025 which was followed by the visit of Somalian President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud on January 11, 2025. The visit by Somali President resulted in agreement, of the restoration of diplomatic representation in their respective capitals after a year of severed ties, between both Somalia and Ethiopia.[26] Further, signing of the declaration led to legitimisation of the participation of Ethiopian troops in the upcoming African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM), in Somalia, which were earlier set to be expelled by Somalia.[27] Through the AU peace keeping mission Ethiopia has played a significant role in fighting Al-Shabaab in Somalia. Moreover, regarding sea access to Ethiopia the declaration stated that both Ethiopia and Somalia “acknowledged the potentially diverse benefits that could be derived from Ethiopia’s assured access to and from the sea, whilst respecting the territorial integrity of the of Somalia.”[28] Even, UAE has welcomed the Ankara declaration, seeking a reinforced stability and constructive cooperation in the Horn of Africa region.[29] Irrespective of these positive developments, achieved by Ankara Declaration, the path towards regional peace remains uncertain, particularly considering the implications of the MoU between Ethiopia and Somaliland for other global powers. Implications The aftermath of the MoU crafted a turbulent way forward for the regional security and stability of the Horn of Africa. Particularly, for US the stakes are high as region holds significant security concerns. Trump, during his first term of presidency, ordered the Pentagon to pull US forces from Somalia, in 2022 President Biden reversed the orders and directed US forces back to Somalia.[30] The presence of US forces was to counter the rise of terrorist group Al-Shabab. Further in February 2024, a month after the MoU between Ethiopia and Somaliland, US agreed to construct up to five military bases for the Somalia National Army (SNA) Danab Brigade, with a worth over $100 million.[31] Concurrently, US has reportedly expressed interest in using Somaliland’s Berbera port and airfield as a base for the purposes of countering al-Shabaab.[32] Somaliland government have portrayed their willingness to host a US military base in the strategic coastal city of Berbera, seeking to strengthen ties with US.[33] Although US recognises Somalia within its 1960 borders, but partnering with Somaliland could secure a vital foothold to protect key maritime routes along the Gulf of Aden – a critical artery for global trade and energy supplies. This collaboration would also enable the U.S. to diversify its regional presence, reducing its reliance on the overcrowded military hub of Djibouti while fostering stability and economic growth in an underrepresented yet strategically significant area. With Donald Trump set to return to the US presidency, a shift in US policy towards the Horn of Africa, particularly Somaliland, is anticipated. Despite Trump’s ideation to decrease the US military presence, there is strong possibility of the Trump administration to increase influence in the region in order to counter the strengthening Chinese dominance. Under these circumstances, it is speculated that US might recognise the sovereign nation of Somaliland, as recommended under the Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership.[34] Moreover Somaliland, despite being an unrecognized de facto state, has maintained political stability, adopted democratic system of governance, and held regular elections adjoined with peaceful transfer of power. Most recently, in November 2024, Somaliland concluded its fourth presidential election with opposition leader, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Cirro, of Waddani Party winning the elections. A region marred by authoritarianism and political instability; Somaliland provides an assured steadiness for US. Although Somaliland’s commitment to the West, and especially Taiwan, may come under strain due to China’s likely renewed attempt to engage with Somaliland through economic and financial incentives in exchange for subscribing to “One China” policy.[35] This challenge is further underscored as President Cirro expressed interest in establishing relations with Beijing, instead of Taipei, and China’s determination to undermine the incoming Trump administration in this geopolitically and strategically critical region. Conclusion The Ethiopia-Somaliland MoU, a landmark agreement, has left an indelible mark on the geopolitical landscape of the Horn of Africa. While it has provided Ethiopia with much-needed access to the Red Sea and offered Somaliland a step closer to international recognition, the agreement has simultaneously deepened regional tensions and invited global scrutiny. The ensuing diplomatic rifts, particularly between Ethiopia and Somalia, highlighted the fragility of alliances in a region marred by historical grievances and contested sovereignties. The MoU continues to trigger cornerstone of rising insecurities in the region, even after a year. Efforts like Ankara Declaration offer glimpses of hope for reconciliation. However, the intricate issues of territorial integrity, foreign interests, and regional rivalries present formidable obstacles. The declaration, has led to ease some frictions in Ethiopia-Somalia ties and, is received well by the current US administration, under Biden, and by China.[36] Still, the region’s stabilizing efforts face uncertainty with the potential policy shifts under a Trump administration. Along with that, Ankara Declaration marks a shift for Somalia away from the regional axis of Egypt and Eritrea. Somaliland is located, on Gulf of Aden, covering the entrance of Bab al-Mandeb, a chokepoint used by one-third of global trade.[37] The geostrategic location, not only caters to the geopolitical rivalries, but also tempts the global powers, like India, that are less active in region to play a key role.[38] In such a context, the involvement of global powers, each pursuing its strategic objectives, will likely compound the region’s complexities and undermine the path to lasting peace.

Boosaaso (Caasimada Online) – Maamulka Puntland ayaa horraantii sanadkaan bilaabay dagaal culus oo ka dhan ah kooxda Daacish oo saldhigooda u weyn uu yahay buuraha gobolka Bari. Tan iyo markii uu dagaalkan bilowday waxay kooxda la timid istaraatiijiyad u muuqata inay hore u adeegsatay kooxda Al-Shabaab, xilligii dagaalkii uu madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh ku qaaday 2022-2023. Istaraatiijiyaddan ayaa ah in aan dagaal toos ah la’la gelin ciidanka dowladda oo looga baxo hadba goob, taas beddelkeeda in ciidanka miino dhulka loo geliyo, drone lagu weeraro, la marin habaabiyo, kolba doc iyo dib loo weeraro iyo iska daba wareeg.
