The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has issued a strong warning to Somali businesses, urging them to refrain from engaging with terrorists or paying extortion money.
The ministry emphasized that such actions undermine the country’s security, economy, and the government’s efforts to combat terrorism.
They called on business owners to collaborate with law enforcement agencies to report any threats or attempts at extortion by terrorist groups.
This move aligns with the government’s broader strategy to weaken the financial networks supporting extremist activities in Somalia.
