Senior Somali Transport Ministry Officials Accused of Racism

There are reports that Somalia’s Ministry of Transport and Aviation Director General, Bashir Moallim Ali, is facing accusations of “racial profiling, unfair treatment, and exclusion” targeting a specific community.

These allegations involve claims of discriminatory practices within the ministry, potentially linked to the exclusion of certain groups from opportunities or decision-making processes.

If confirmed, such accusations could highlight deeper systemic challenges, including the equitable representation of Somalia’s diverse communities in government institutions.

This issue could have significant implications for public trust and social cohesion, particularly in a country recovering from conflict and political instability.
