"The strategic city of Baidoa, the largest in Southwest state, is home to international peacekeepers and humanitarian agencies in an area affected by drought, conflict and displacement."
"The people of the Southwest state have taken control of Baidoa, signalling demand for accountability. The Federal Government of Somalia remains committed to stability, protecting lives and property."
"Mogadishu also emphasised that no acts of retaliation will be tolerated, underscoring the commitment to protecting lives and property during this sensitive political transition."
The federal government of Somalia has praised the transition in Baidoa, where the national army has taken control. This led to the resignation of regional leader Abdiaziz Hassan Mohamed Laftagareen, who had recently been re-elected. The city, significant for its humanitarian presence, is now under federal control, marking a political shift. The government has appointed a new acting president and called for calm, unity, and accountability, while ensuring no retaliation will occur during this transition period.
