It seems that there is an ongoing standoff between Southwest State’s Religious Minister, Nor Siidow Baba, and the federal government’s Ministry of Religious Affairs regarding the upcoming Hajj services.
The lack of progress in resolving the disagreement could stem from issues related to the allocation of pilgrim quotas, administrative control of the pilgrimage process, or financial aspects such as the distribution of fees or other resources.
Such disagreements can create significant challenges for the coordination of services, potentially impacting those planning to perform Hajj next year.
This type of standoff may require mediation or policy adjustments to ensure the smooth handling of Hajj services, as these disputes could affect pilgrims’ experiences and the overall religious administration across Somalia.
