Somaliland’s Minister of Interior Mohamed Kahin Ahmed accused Somalia of running a symbiotic relations with Al-Shabaab.
Kahin referred to recent comments by a former top official in the Somali government.
He said that the official’s comments confirm a symbiotic relationship between Mogadishu and Al-Shabaab.
This assertion suggests that there may be elements within the Somali capital that are complicit or in cooperation with the militant group.
Such a relationship could undermine efforts to combat Al-Shabaab and stabilize the region, calling for a thorough investigation and stronger measures to break any connections between the government and the militants.
Kahin spoke over recent comments attributed to Abdi Saeed Musa, who is a former Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Somali government.
Musa uttered the comments in an interview with BBC Somalia.
