The Somali Minister of State for Foreign Affairs denied any US dialogue with Al-Shabaab, stressing its design continued as a terrorist organization. He pointed to the strategic relations between Somalia and Qatar to enhance bilateral cooperation.
The minister confirmed that the dispute between Somalia and Ethiopia had ended through Turkish mediation, with Ethiopia recognizing Somalia's autonomy and allowing commercial use of its ports. He stressed the need to resolve internal issues without external mediation.
The minister addressed the upcoming presidential elections, noting the shift to a direct presidential election, with parliament continuing to approve constitutional amendments despite security challenges from Al-Shabaab.

XAJKA IYO BOQORRADII CUSMAANIYIINTA

Dowladihii soo maray taariikhda islaamka waxaa ugu dambeeyey boqortooyadii Cusmaaniyiinta, waxayna xukumeen dhulkii ugu ballaarnaa ee u dhaxeeyey Yurub ilaa xeebaha Soomaaliya.

Boqorradaas dhamaantood meysan gudanin waajibka Xajka, qaarkood waxay dirsan jireen qof kale oo ka soo xajiya. Waa mid kamid qisooyinka la diiwaan galiyey.

Sababo kala duwan awgeed baa keentay, oo ay ugu muhiimsan tahay in safarka xajka sii socod iyo soo socod uu qaadan jiray afar bilood, waana waqti aad u dheer oo aanan laga maqnaan karin xaruntii xukunka.

Electoral Ambitions and Risks

The push for universal suffrage is a cornerstone of Mohamud’s agenda, with district-level elections planned for June 2025 and a national vote to follow. This shift from the indirect, clan-delegate system aims to legitimize the government and broaden participation.

However, the process is fraught with challenges. Voter registration is lagging in conflict zones, and Al-Shabaab has vowed to disrupt polling, as it did during the 2022 indirect elections with bombings in Baidoa and Beledweyne. Opposition figures, including former presidents Sharif Sheikh Ahmed and Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo, have accused the FGS of rigging the process by stacking the electoral commission with loyalists, a charge that sparked violent protests in Mogadishu in January 2025.

The constitutional amendments passed in 2024, which enshrine a presidential system and multiparty elections, have also stirred debate. Critics argue they concentrate power in the executive, sidelining parliament and traditional clan leaders. Women’s groups, meanwhile, are pressing for the promised 30% quota, but resistance from conservative factions and logistical hurdles make this a long shot for 2025.

Al-Shabaab’s Evolving Threat

Al-Shabaab’s influence in 2025 is as much political as it is military. Beyond its rural strongholds, the group has infiltrated urban areas, extorting businesses and even influencing local governance through shadow administrations.

In March 2025, reports emerged of Al-Shabaab taxing traders in Mogadishu’s Bakara Market, a vital economic hub, right under the government’s nose. This adaptability has kept the group relevant despite losses from government offensives and U.S. drone strikes, like the one in late 2024 that killed a senior commander.

The government’s reliance on clan militias, known as macawisley, to fight Al-Shabaab has had mixed outcomes. While these militias helped reclaim towns in Hirshabelle and Galmudug in 2024, their loyalty is often to clan elders rather than the state, creating parallel power structures. There’s growing concern that arming these groups could backfire, potentially fueling clan conflicts or even defections to Al-Shabaab

if incentives dry up. The group’s propaganda has also sharpened, exploiting anti-government sentiment over corruption and foreign troop presence.

Internal Power Struggles and Clan Dynamics

Somalia’s federal system is a patchwork of semi-autonomous states, and the relationship between the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) and these regions is a constant source of friction. The clan-based political structure remains a double-edged sword: it provides a framework for representation but also fuels division.

President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s administration has tried to centralize power, which has alienated states like Puntland and Jubaland. For instance, Puntland’s leadership, under President Said Abdullahi Deni, has resisted federal overreach, asserting its own electoral timeline and security policies. In early 2025, Puntland suspended cooperation with the FGS over revenue-sharing disputes, a move that echoed its brief declaration of autonomy in 2023.

Jubaland, led by President Ahmed Madobe, is another flashpoint. Madobe’s re-election in 2022 was contested by Mogadishu, and skirmishes between Jubaland forces and federal troops flared up again in February 2025 over control of border areas near Kenya. These tensions reflect a broader struggle: the FGS wants to assert authority, while regional leaders leverage local militias and clan loyalties to maintain their fiefdoms. This tug-of-war complicates everything from tax collection to counterinsurgency efforts against Al-Shabaab.

Regional Dynamics and Somaliland

Relations with federal member states and the breakaway region of Somaliland add further complexity. Somaliland, which declared independence in 1991 but lacks international recognition, held presidential elections in November 2024, electing Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi ("Irro") as president. His victory, with over 60% of the vote, reflects Somaliland's push for international legitimacy, a goal that clashes with Somalia's federal government, which views it as a separatist threat.

Tensions escalated in 2024 when Somalia severed ties with Ethiopia over a port access deal with Somaliland, though recent talks mediated by Turkey in February 2025 suggest a thaw, with both nations pledging to promote regional stability.
Within Somalia,

Puntland has also pursued its own path, conducting direct municipal elections in 2023 and clashing with federal forces over political influence, while Jubaland's disputes with Mogadishu have led to armed confrontations as recently as February 2025.
