A federal delegation landed in Baidoa on Tuesday to manage the political transition in Southwest State, a day after regional president Abdiaziz Hassan Mohamed Laftagareen stepped down after seven years in power. The visit marks the first time some senior officials have returned to the city since a long-running political dispute, with second deputy prime minister Jibriil Adirashiid appointed to head the interim administration.

In a sudden turn of events, a resignation post made by former President Lafta-Gareen has been deleted from his official page-leaving supporters and political observers questioning whether the move was a change of heart or a technical misstep.

Laftagareen reaffirms commitment to strengthening regional security.

Southwest State President Abdiaziz Laftagareen hails Banadir’s peaceful one-person, one-vote local elections, calling them a major milestone in Somalia’s democratic transition and a signal for broader direct polls.
