What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

In August 2026, Abdirashid Janan, who was appointed by the Federal Government of Somalia as the intelligence chief for the Gedo region, reportedly joined the Jubaland administration following talks with Jubaland President Ahmed Madobe. As part of this understanding, Jubaland agreed to take responsibility for paying the salaries of troops stationed in the area, which had previously gone unpaid by the Federal Government of Somalia. Separately, in November 2020, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud met with the commander of the U.S. Africa Command in Mogadishu to discuss security cooperation and the need for an inclusive political agreement among Somali stakeholders.
