Somali Lawmaker Says Somalia’s Implementation of Federalism is Flawed

Somali lawmaker Dahir Amin Jesow has voiced strong criticism of what he described as the “flawed implementation of federalism” in Somalia.

He emphasized that states should respect their constitutional boundaries and refrain from overstepping their designated roles.

Jesow called for increased cooperation between regional governments and the federal government, urging regions to allow the central authorities to carry out their responsibilities without unnecessary interference.

His comments reflect ongoing tensions and challenges in Somalia’s federal structure, where disputes over power-sharing and resource control between the federal government and regional states have been a persistent issue.

Jesow’s critique adds to the broader discussion on how to strengthen the federal system and ensure smooth governance across the country.
