President Mohamud Calls Opposition Leaders Psychologically Unfit for Criticizing New Electoral Model

Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has sparked controversy with the remarks he made today targeting opposition figures.

During Monday’s grand opening of Hodan Hospital in Mogadishu, he implied that some opposition members are “unfit psychologically,” a statement that has drawn significant attention amid ongoing debates over the country’s upcoming election model.

The President’s comments come at a critical time, as Somalia continues to navigate complex political challenges, including the implementation of a credible and inclusive electoral process.

Critics argue that such statements could further polarize the political environment, while supporters may view them as a defense of the current administration’s policies.

The situation highlights the tensions surrounding Somalia’s political landscape, with the election model being a key point of contention.

As the debate intensifies, the international community and local stakeholders are closely monitoring developments, hoping for a peaceful and democratic resolution.
