In Garbaharey district, Gedo region, Somalia’s Internal Security Minister Abdullahi Sheikh Ismail Fartaag has reaffirmed the federal government’s opposition to Jubbaland President Ahmed Islam Madobe’s administration.
During his address, the minister pledged to intensify efforts to assert federal control over the region, a stance that risks heightening tensions between the two sides.
This move could lead to potential confrontations, as Gedo has long been a contested area between the federal government and Jubaland authorities.
The escalating political and territorial disputes may further strain Somalia’s federalization process and destabilize the region, affecting both governance and security.
