Jubbaland state in Somalia, a land of intrigue and political maneuvers The political situation in Jubbaland has been a rollercoaster of developments, tensions and power struggles. Sit back and as we delve into the world of Jubbaland politics. At the heart of the political landscape in Jubbaland is the charismatic and controversial leader, Ahmed Madobe. Madobe has been a dominant figure Jubbaland politics for years, once a military commander now President of the region. His leadership has faced challenges and criticisms, with some accusing him of authoritarian tendencies and others praising him for bringing stability and development to the region. The relationship between Madobe and Federal Government of Somalia, in Mogadishu, has been tumultuous, to say the least. There have been clashes over power-sharing agreements, control of resources, and the overall structure of governance in the region. These tensions have often spilled over violence and political brinkmanship, furtherating the ...

  A  summary analysis report; Jubbaland State  Jubaland State has been singlehandedly ruled and remained under the illegitimate strong control of Ahmed Madobe since the liberation of Kismayo from Al-Shabaab in 2013 by the Ahmed Madobe’s former armed insurgents backed by Kenyan Defence Force (KDF) with an agenda to create a buffer zone and expand and secure Kenya’s interest in Somalia, especially in Jubbaland State. Ahmed Madobe who is fully backed up by KDF has orchestrated his own version of elections for three consecutive terms and contained everybody who disagreed with him. His last controversial and singlehandedly managed elections was highly ridiculed and opposed by both the general public, the FGS and the International community but with no avail to their condemnations of the elections outcome thus making the general approach to Somalia state building and democratization in question. Madobe’s illegal and unlawful term extension for one more additional year is well...

I: Introduction: All things being equal, the breakdown of diplomatic relations between neighbouring countries has far-reaching consequences, extending beyond political instability and strained economic ties. Among deadliest of these  consequences is how Al Qaeda-affiliated Al Shabaab   terrorist group in the Horn of Africa is on the cusp to leverage the current tiff between its two main foes, Somalia and Ethiopia, and make a renewed ethnic and religious divisions and discord to advance their trade mark goals of wreaking perpetual havoc throughout the East African region and beyond. PM Abiy’s gift to Al Shabaab This brief concisely explores the numerous ways in which Al Shabaab will benefit – or has already benefited – from the recent exchange of barbs and rancorous diplomatic broadsides between Mogadishu and Addis Ababa, following the January 01, 2024 MoU that the Federal Government of Ethiopia signed with Somaliland, a territory both the world – including Ethiopia- and Somali...

Dear Jobseekers, Today's job market is extremely competitive with limited job opportunities and with a high rate of unemployment and it may get worse. Having this in mind you know for sure how an uphill task it can be in securing a job regardless of whether its a top or low position though the going gets tougher when you go for top jobs. This competitive condition/bubble has led to some job seekers falsify their experience history in a bid to improve their chances of first things first getting into the shortlist.This trend is gaining momentum and most organisations have taken note of this and what I have seen them do is pre-screening(before written test) with the hiring department where the raw data of current/former employees can be retrieved easily unlike asking their current/former supervisors who may collude with them(candidates) in the falsification process. Initially the reference checks was majorly sent to the current/former supervisor but it's no longer business as usua...

  GEDO REGION’S RECENT POLITICAL UNFOLDINGS SITUATIONAL REPORT (SITREP) The FGS has taken over the control of Gedo region, Jubbaland State from Ahmed Madobe top allied Marehan clan politician, among these politicians is the First Deputy President of Jubbaland Mr Mohamud Sayid Aden and Jubbaland’s Minister for Security Mr. Abdirashid Janan. Abdirashid Janan who was the most powerful Marehan clan politician in the region for the last ten years was accused of crimes against humanity and abuse of power by the former FGS’s Attorney General who printed an official warrant of arrest that did not work out; the current FGS (Banadir Court) dropped charges against Janan which in return he should help mobilize Jubbaland State MPs, while especially   focusing on MPs from Marehan and other allied clans to vote against Ahmed Madobe and support the FGS oversight role in Jubbaland State elections, but Abdirashid who is one of the key stakeholders of Ahmed Madobe’s self-styled Jubbaland adm...

Since the crumple of Somalia’s powerful central government in the year 1991 which prompted the commencement of clan centered political rivalries and a tailored local and foreign political brokers’ network that are mainly stationed in the neighboring and Middle East countries, Somalia has been the most dangerous place on earth. Somalia’s infamous myopic clan motivated leaders competed for a mere token that comes with hefty conditions from foreign spoiler groups: mainly the enemy of the Somali people. These enemies were either after individual or group interests or implementing their country’s or individual agendas to tear and torn Somalia apart. To focus mainly on drivers of these foreign political spoiler agents from within, it’s clear how Somalia’s regional leaders were very interested in maintaining their tradition of meddling in Somalia’s foreign and domestic affairs, thus making the Somalia status quo and fragility index to still remain an intact. Somalia’s sovereignty as an...

Following the outcome of the Ahmed Madobe self-styled and generally manipulated elections in Jubbaland State. Many Somalis regarded Ahmed Madobe as a former Alshabaab violent extremist who didn’t possesses any records of abandoning his extremism ideology as he is one of the founders and greatest masterminds of the establishment Alshabaab violent extremist group and their tailored cells of operative networks. The pain caused by a thorn inside a  contaminated water is only known to the person who stepped on it, this is the same pain the voiceless and most vulnerable people of Jubbaland has been living with for the last decade. Madobe already turned Jubbaland State into a breading zone, a safe haven and a host for many local and international spoilers’ cartels who are very keen in disrupting the country's stability and recent development gains on social, economical and political fronts. However the federal government along with its international partners shared and presented Ah...
