Mogadishu – Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud reportedly held key discussions with international partners in Mogadishu on Monday, with talks centered on the upcoming 2026 elections and ongoing security concerns.
The high-level engagement underscores growing international interest in Somalia’s political stability and democratic process. It followed a separate meeting earlier in the day between foreign diplomats and opposition leaders, signaling a united focus on ensuring credible elections and enhanced security.
With less than two years to the polls, both the government and its partners appear intent on strengthening political dialogue and cooperation to overcome persistent challenges, including threats from militant groups and delays in electoral reforms.
