Somali officials warn a sudden departure could leave areas exposed to al-Shabaab. Somaliland Diplomacy: Israel’s first ambassador to Somaliland presented his credentials in Hargeisa, where officials also broke ground for an Israeli embassy.

Hirshabelle Tensions: Reports say Hawadle Macawisley fighters have left front-line positions and gathered in Beledweyne as clan leaders pursue an administration independent of Mogadishu and Hirshabelle, raising fears of weakened defences against al-Shabaab. UN Exit: The UN political mission has closed after more than three decades, with responsibilities transferred to Somali institutions and other UN bodies. Its departure comes as the constitutional and election dispute remains unresolved.
