Former Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo has raised alarm over the country’s deteriorating security, political, economic, and social conditions, calling for national dialogue and unity to prevent further instability.

In a statement issued on Monday, Farmaajo said Somalia is facing "serious security challenges,” accusing the current government of failing to adequately address the threat posed by terrorist groups. He warned that fragmentation within the national army has significantly weakened the country’s defense capabilities.

Farmaajo said Somalia’s governance framework has deviated from the agreed constitutional path, emphasizing that major political decisions must be based on broad national consensus. He cautioned that authoritarian political practices could deepen divisions and undermine ongoing state-building efforts.

On the economic front, Farmaajo highlighted rising inflation and growing public distrust, urging the government to protect vulnerable communities affected by drought and recurring humanitarian crises.

He called on the federal government, federal member states, traditional elders, civil society, and citizens to unite in safeguarding national stability, security, and constitutional order. Farmaajo also urged renewed efforts to strengthen the fight against terrorism and to pursue political reconciliation through inclusive dialogue and broad-based participation.
