A federal delegation led by Petroleum Resources Minister Daahir Shire arrives in Beledweyne, capital of the Hiiraan region, for talks aimed at calming tensions arising from elections in the HirShabelle state. According to Cali Jayte Cismaan, a former regional governor, the mission aims to resolve these tensions through dialogue.
The Somali federal government has sent a high-level delegation to Beledweyne, capital of the Hiiraan region, to take part in talks aimed at calming tensions arising from the recent election in the federal state of Hirshabelle, Caasimada Online reports. The delegation is led by Petroleum and Mines Minister Daahir Shire Maxamed, a native of Hiiraan, and by the region’s former governor, Cali Jayte Cismaan.
Cali Jayte told the press that the trip aims to find a solution to the discontent of Hiiraan’s residents with the Hirshabelle administration. Minister Daahir Shire Maxamed expressed hope that dialogue, understanding and stability would end the crisis, stressing the need to resolve grievances through discussion and consensus.
The mission comes as Beledweyne remains unsettled. The Xawaadle clan chief and MP Cabdullahi Maxamed Cali, known as Sanbaloolshe, are leading mobilisations there, and an armed convoy entered the city a few days ago. The delegation arrives after the announcement of the transfer of Hirshabelle’s capital from Jowhar to Beledweyne: the transfer of the Hirshabelle capital.
