🇸🇴⚡️- "We are under attack.

For the second time in less than 24 hours, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has directed armed forces against our peaceful gatherings. This evening, as we convened in reconciliation dialogue with traditional elders, including Ugaas Maxamud Cali Ugaas, we came under attack.

Tonight, the residence of former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed in Mogadishu was repeatedly targeted by forces acting under HSM orders. [...]

These are not isolated incidents. They are coordinated strikes directed by a man whose presidential mandate constitutionally expired on 15 May 2026 — now mobilizing state forces to silence those who oppose his unconstitutional hold on power. [...]

Most alarmingly, the forces carrying out these attacks were trained and equipped by our international partners to fight Al-Shabaab — not to be turned against Somalia’s own political leaders.

I call upon Somalia’s international partners to stand firmly in defense of Somalia’s Constitution and constitutional order." - Former Somalian PM Hassan Ali Khaire on X.

In retaliation, Khaire deployed loyal military personnel just 2km from Villa Somalia, the official presidential residency of Hassan Mohamud.

The world remembers this day.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️- "President Trump has told aides privately that he would consider ending the ceasefire with Iran if Tehran kills American troops, U.S. officials said, insisting that the weekslong pause in airstrikes remains intact despite a steady stream of violent skirmishes.
