A delegation led by the head of the traditional elders of the Hawadle community, Ugaas Yusuf Ugaas Hassan Ugaas Khalif, arrived in Beledweyne on Wednesday amid the ongoing political conflict over the removal of the former Hiiraan region governor, Ali Jeyte Osman.
The delegation of elders was received by officials, politicians, and other community members at Ugaas Khalifa Airport in Beledweyne.

In his place, Abdullahi Ahmed Maalin Sufurow was appointed as the new governor.

The mediation efforts are expected to focus on finding a compromise that will allow for the peaceful transfer of power in the Hiiraan region, and the establishment of a stable and inclusive administration.
