Somalia’s Political Breakup: Puntland’s president and vice president both say Somalia has no legitimate federal government, escalating a constitutional standoff after May 15—while the UN urges leaders to keep talking and agree on a practical, unifying election model. Constitution in Motion: Hassan Sheikh Mohamud officially launched the new constitution and insists his term runs to May 15, 2027, even as opposition and some states reject the extension. Turkey Under Fire: Somali opposition leaders accuse Türkiye of undermining neutrality after Ankara reaffirmed support for Mohamud as talks collapsed. Security Shock: In a separate region-wide fight, US and Nigerian forces killed ISIS’s global “second in command,” Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, in the Lake Chad Basin. Humanitarian Pressure: UN-linked reporting warns southern Somalia faces famine risk again, with drought, conflict, and aid cuts squeezing families. Regional Diplomacy: Israel’s ambassador to Somaliland highlights deepening cooperation as Egypt and Eritrea sign a Red Sea shipping pact.
