Drama in Federal Parliament as Jubbaland MPs Opposed Deployment of Military to Ras Kamboni

The situation in the Somali Federal Parliament turned chaotic during debates on the deployment of Somali National Army (SNA) troops to Jubbaland, particularly to Ras Kamboni.

Jubbaland MPs strongly opposed the federal government’s decision, citing concerns about interference and sovereignty within the regional state.

Heated arguments escalated into dramatic confrontations, reflecting the ongoing tensions between the federal government and regional administrations.

The deployment is part of the federal government’s broader security strategy, but critics argue it risks undermining existing regional security frameworks and reigniting political disputes.

This incident highlights the fragile relationship between Somalia’s federal and state-level authorities, raising questions about the collaborative efforts needed to stabilize the country.
