Why it matters

The ability of the federal government to maintain control over its security forces and administrative regions is fundamental to its sovereignty and stability. The loss of operational control and the transfer of financial responsibility for troops in Gedo highlights the ongoing challenge the federal government faces in asserting its authority against powerful regional administrations like Jubaland.

This dispute over political authority and security forces is part of a longstanding pattern of tension between the federal government and its member states. External actors, such as the United States, have previously voiced opposition to the use of security forces in political disputes and interference in the affairs of federal member states, underscoring the international concern over Somalia's internal political fragmentation.

What we don't know yet
