Somalia Revokes Recognition of S. West State Leadership
In a directive issued Tuesday, the Interior Ministry stated that President Abdiaziz Hassan Mohamed, also known as Laftagareen, “is no longer recognized” as head of the regional administration. It added that all decisions made by his government are “no longer valid.”
The ministry further instructed federal institutions to suspend cooperation with the regional authorities and said it “will appoint a committee responsible for facilitating the formation of a new South West State administration, which will conduct elections and ensure proper governance.”
The move follows rising tensions between the federal government and South West State in recent weeks. The dispute centers on constitutional amendments approved at the national level, which federal officials describe as part of wider governance reforms. However, leaders in South West State have opposed the changes, arguing they were introduced without sufficient consultation and could reduce the authority of federal member states.
