A court in Mogadishu has reportedly issued an arrest warrant for Ahmed Madobe, the President of Jubbaland, on charges of treason and constitutional violations.
This development is part of escalating tensions between the Federal Government of Somalia and Jubbaland, particularly concerning disputed elections and governance issues in the region.
The federal authorities accuse Madobe of manipulating electoral processes to maintain power, violating national agreements on electoral reforms, and acting unconstitutionally.
These tensions have heightened due to Jubbaland’s resistance to federal oversight and Madobe’s strained relations with the central government.
The warrant appears to be linked to the federal government’s push to centralize authority and establish a unified electoral system, while Jubbaland asserts its autonomy.
Analysts suggest this move could further strain relations between Mogadishu and Jubbaland, complicating Somalia’s federal dynamics.
