    President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s (HSM) new administration in Somalia is under coordinated attack from supporters of former president Farmaajo and his Nabad iyo Nolol (N&N) party. Reformist National Security Advisor Hussein Sheikh Ali has been targeted by a fabricated smear campaign linking him to alleged secret meetings with TPLF leaders in Djibouti a claim swiftly debunked by Hussein and international observers. Investigations reveal that these disinformation efforts are being propagated by anonymous accounts, many reportedly linked to Eritrean intelligence and N&N sympathizers. These attacks are part of a broader narrative pushed by Farmaajo loyalists, painting his defeat as a foreign-orchestrated conspiracy. The intention is to delegitimize the new administration, derail its early momentum, and stoke nationalist sentiment for political gain. The controversy also distracts from critical national priorities, such as reconciliation and economic recovery, especially in the midst of the worst drought in 40 years.
