Nairobi, Kenya (Horn post) Several senior figures from the former administration of Southwest State of Somalia have reportedly arrived in Nairobi following their removal from office, according to local sources.
Among those said to have landed in the Kenyan capital are former Southwest State President Abdiaziz Mohamed Hassan Laftagareen, former senior official Ali Fiqi, former Speaker of Parliament Mohamed Mursal, Hassan Abdinur, and Saransoor.
The reported arrival comes amid ongoing political tensions and uncertainty in Southwest State, where leadership disputes and recent security developments have raised concerns about stability in the region.
There has been no immediate official confirmation from the individuals involved or from authorities in either Somalia or Kenya regarding the purpose of the visit. However, sources suggest the trip may be linked to consultations and political coordination following recent changes in the regional administration.
Somalia has experienced recurring tensions between federal authorities and regional states, particularly in areas where political transitions coincide with security challenges.
Analysts say the presence of former leaders in Nairobi could signal efforts to regroup politically or engage with regional stakeholders, although the situation remains fluid and largely unverified.
Further details are expected as officials clarify the circumstances surrounding their departure and current engagements.
