Somalia’s political crisis is once again teetering on the edge, with fears that the country’s electoral process could devolve into “Ila Meerayso II” a repeat of past political deadlock. PM Mohammed Roble, initially praised for brokering an agreement to defuse Mogadishu tensions, is now facing opposition criticism for inaction, unnecessary foreign travel, and failure to prepare for crucial electoral talks scheduled for 20 May. The Council of Presidential Candidates (CPC) has accused Roble of losing focus and urged him to assert independence from Villa Somalia. Meanwhile, the Farmaajo administration has intensified its confrontations opposing AU envoy John Mahama, banning a UAE Kenyan charter airline delivering Somaliland election materials, and allegedly targeting pro-opposition officers.
