Jubbaland administration issued a statement underscoring the escalating political discord within Somalia.
In the statement, it attributed Wednesday’s violent confrontation in Ras Kamboni to the federal government’s prioritization of political objectives over regional stability.
By labeling the incident an “avoidable consequence,” Jubbaland accuses Mogadishu of deploying federal troops to the city for political gain, exacerbating tensions in the process.
However, the administration expresses openness to dialogue as a means to mitigate the escalating crisis, signaling a potential avenue for reconciliation amid mounting political strains.
